by Bex This was written before the babies arrived but I wanted to save it until after I announced their birth and names as their initials are part of the design. Some of the following photos are by me and some by the talented Laura Aziz. Laura's are labelled where applicable. So you've seen a few sneaky peeks of the nursery by now, including my initial plans and Instagram snaps as the design of the room progressed as well as a few tutorials of how I made the mobile, painted the drawer knobs and,made the cloud shelf, not to mention a wee sneaky peek when I published a few of Laura's maternity photos. The walls were as they were when we moved in, I never would have gone for a blue wall but I absolutely love the particular shade that's in there and it works so well with the sunshine clock and cloud shelf as well as the brightly coloured rainbow accessories in there. The rest of the walls were already a pale grey which would have been my choice with all the white furniture I wanted. Here's a reminder of how the room looked the day we moved in... (unfortunately I didn't take a picture looking the other way towards the blue wall around the door) Before I've tried to keep calm and not overfill/clutter the room (I found it difficult not having full walls to play with as the long slanted walls limited what I could do) and a few of my original ideas have since been relocated to the playroom which will now also be rainbow themed to fit in all of the brightly coloured bits I love. So, here is the overall finished nursery complete with list of suppliers. I hope you like it - I am utterly in LOVE with it! :) After Photo by Laura Photo by Laura Photo by Laura Photo by Laura Photo by Laura Photo by Laura Photo by Laura Photo by Laura Photo by Laura Photo by Laura Photo by Laura Photo by Laura Photo by Laura Photo by Laura In case you fancy any of the items you see, here is a list of suppliers/where we found everything.

Her inne hos malien vår har den nye sofaen ført til litt ommøblering. Dukkehusene har fått ny plass og denne gamle kommoden er nå oppbevaring for endel klær. Kommoden kjøpte jeg forøvrig på Fretex som 18-åring, og var et av de første møblene jeg pusset opp helt selv ;) Maileg-kaninen har fått de gamle dukkeklærne jeg hadde på dukkene da jeg var liten. Lillemalien bryr seg ikke om dukker, men kaninene derimot, de lekes det med nesten daglig. Som noen av dere sikkert legger merke til, har lillebrors sengehimmel flyttet inn hit, Han er jo ingen prinsesse mamma. Sant nok. Dessuten er flere meter fritthengende tyll og en særdeles aktiv liten gutt en dårlig kombinasjon. Lett å vikle seg inn i for små ivrige guttenhender denne tyllen, men desto vanskeligere å vikle seg ut av igjen ;) Hos oss går vi helgen imøte med et nystøvsuget hus, nyvaskede gulv og rundstykker i ovnen ;) Vi har kost oss hjemme etpar dager denne uken og har fått ryddet de delene av huset som ikke pusses opp ;) Store-lillemalien er nemlig hjemme fra barnehagen fordi hun skal ha en operasjon på mandag, og jeg vil prøve å unngå forkjølelsessmitting nå rett før. Det er jo ikke noe kjempeinngrep hun skal ha, men med full narkose slå jo mine hønemor-instinkter ut i full blomst og jeg gruer meg skikkelig, mens hun foreløbig tar det hele med stor ro. Usj. Sender en ekstra god helgeklem til alle dere som har kontaktet meg, lagt igjen hilsener og spor i innleggene jeg har skrevet i det siste, både kjente og ukjente. Det er så godt å føle omtanken fra dere, og jeg setter uendelig stor pris på det! Jeg har en liste med mailer å svare på, men svar kommer til dere alle etterhvert! Jeg har nok mere på hjertet og flere tanker jeg vil dele rundt det å miste et barn, så det kommer nok flere innlegg med disse temaene etterhvert. Akkurat nå står imidlertid lillebror, malien og jeg på farten ut døren her, med nistekurven pakket for en liten høsttur til Aboretet, håper solgløttene holder! En riktig, riktig god helg til alle dere flotte mennesker som er innom bloggen idag! Ta vare på dagen og gi en klem til noen du bryr deg om!
