We are in Get It Done Mode here in the Witmer household. Up until this point I have restricted myself from buying anything for Noemi (aside from her little welcome bag). But now it’s time to go hog wild. I will begin with the nursery.
Donovan got his bootie in motion and cleaned out his office this past weekend. He moved all of his photography equipment to its new home in our walk-up attic. We set up his desk, files and gear so that his photography business still has its own home. But Donovan Photography has been dethroned. The “office” is now being transformed into the “nursery.” My plan is to have the walls painted, shelves hung, furniture moved in and curtains made in the next few weeks. Noemi is moving in.
In the spirit of decorating, my sister-in-law, Jennie, and I went antiquing to begin the search for all things nursery worthy. Not too much makes me happier than a sunny day antiquing with someone who loves it as much as I do. I was looking for a piece of furniture that can be used as a changing table, but no such luck. The day was redeemed when I found these can’t-walk-away chotchkies for her room. The freakishly cute ashtrays will be used to house Q-tips and the like. I’m such a sucker for random occupied Japan-era stuff. Oh, and don’t forget the framed appliquéd elephant…too funny.
Let the decorating commence!
