33 weeks + some empty decorating promises?


So I was planning to put up a nursery mood board but not sure anymore if I'll get the time before the nursery is actually finished AND I'm kinda freaking out that it might not be a girl! Ha! Probably stupid.. But I don't really want to embarrass myself when a boy pops his little head out and I have a cute baby girls room waiting for him at home. I don't have to wait long.. Only til Tuesday! I will be getting a 3D scan so we should be able to have a clear view and put my worries to rest. Not that a boy would be bad but I think the pretty pink clothes I've got will feel very sad and lonely having to be packed away.

So probably no nursery mood board. Unless I can squeeze it in between my 3D scan on Tuesday and decorating on the weekend. Which now that I think about it, may be a huge doable possibility. But did I tell you? Our ikea delivery is arriving on thursday! My fingers are tingling just writing about it. The main item which I am so over the moon about is our sofa. We will finally have a sofa! No one can really understand my joy over this unless they themselves have also never owned a sofa. Our living room at the moment consists of a very uncomfortable day bed and one very springy uncomfortable chair. We went with Karlstad in dark grey.

When I first saw it, I wasn't that into it but then I saw it over at Young House Love and read about how much they love it. So I was taken! But with the new sofa coming it got me thinking. Our living room screams boring and bland. And I'm afraid the sofa will probably just accentuate that fact. So next week I will be putting together my next project: Living Room Makeover Mood Board! Just so you get the idea, the colours at the moment are navy, white and beige with a couple of unnoticeable pops of red. I'll be keeping the navy as that is our feature wall but the rest has seen better days. So until next week where I'll be back with my mood boards and some gender news. Hopefully...
