Nesting syndrome: the very minimal version

ninainvorm 2012-09-18 13:33- permalink- in In my home

All of a sudden I felt that I really needed to work on the decoration of the new kids room... Oh wow, could that be nesting syndrome?

I must say I've never been much of the nesting kind when I was pregnant with Rosa: of course I wanted things to be taken care of, I loved doing all the necessary (and in particular unnecessary ;)) shopping and decoration, but being pregnant I still disliked cleaning and tidying up almost (almost? Why am I writing almost here? Of course I mean just) as much as I normally do.

So would it be better this time? After doing some bits of decorating in the kids room, I happily stepped back to take a few photos, only to notice that there was a victim of the organized look of the kids room: the now totally messy and unorganized hallway next to it! Ah well, I guess I still only have a very minimal version of the nesting syndrome ;).

My sister Olga crocheted the baby a new blanket, but when Rosa discovered it and found out that her sweet aunt made it, she immediately confiscated it and now she demands to sleep under it every night. Let's see if aunt Olga is kind & crazy enough to make us another one...

We bought the cloud lamp at IKEA. I already liked it for a long time, but so far we never had a good place to put it. Now I thought it would do well in this new kids room, that's much less girly than Rosa's previous room with the pink floral wallpaper. Somehow this time I felt like creating a room that's less gender specific (not that Rosa's room was that pink by the way!), maybe because the black wall already made the room less sweet & romantic. The sex of our new baby by the way isn't the reason: we've already been knowing for about two months that we're expecting another girl ;).

I got enthusiastic and made Rosa a little house drawing above her bed...

Soon the baby's bed will be standing next to Rosa's, but we first wanted to give her a bit of time to get used to the new room before we'd put the baby bed in.

De nieuwe meidenkamer is echt prachtig geworden met de zwarte muur en het knalgele bedje, vanmorgen zag ik de foto's al voorbij Flickr-en!

I love the room. It's perfect and the colors you've chosen make me smile. I love a gender neutral room :)

Everything is so perfect! I really love it! You did well, once again!

Wat een mooi kamertje, heerlijke spulletjes. Gefeliciteerd met jullie dochtertje :-)

This is really sweet room.. but I wonder, how are you going to manage the sleeping of a newborn with the older one? Are you going to sleep there too? Isn´t the small one going to wake up continuously during the night?

@ Jana: The baby will sleep in our room for the first period (Rosa slept with us for about 10 or 11 months), but maybe she will do her naps during daytime in the room already. Then later I hope they will sleep together, I've heard really good experiences from other people who do it like this (that children sleep better in each other's company and that the one kid waking up doesn't mean the other one wakes up too), but they won't sleep in the same room during the nights of the first months. By the way Rosa still wakes up sometimes too, so it wouldn't just be the baby waking up Rosa, but maybe also the other way around! ;)

What an amazingly decorated room. Love those vintage primary colours and your Tomado shelving :)

Wat een leuk kamertje!

Hier is het kamertje nog erg sober maar het zal snel kleurrijk worden als we er wat meer tijd in doorbrengen. Julie slaapt ook bij ons op de kamer in een wiegje - heel gezellig en makkelijk voor de nachtvoedingen.

Oh, en ik ben ook nog benieuwd waarom de naamspeciaal is voor je dus als je eens tijd en zin hebt om me te laten weten: fijn!

Helaas lukte het me niet om langs te komen op de Yvestown fair ook al was ik maar een kwartiertje ofzo van de plek verwijderd. Familie bezoekjes nemen altijd meer tijd in beslag dan oorspronkelijk gepland hé... Hopelijk een volgende keer!

liefs,

Mitsy

Thanks a lot for your answer, that makes sense now :).We have a baby in our bedroom too, the older one sleeps in her room... I wonder when we are able to put them in the same room for the night.

Ik krijg bijna zin om het behang van Mini ook zwart te verven. Het ziet er echt prachtig uit. Blijft al dat speelgoed bij jullie trouwens netjes op het tomado-rekje staan? Hier lukt dat nu nooit!

What a pretty nursery! All that lovely things and the black wall. I really lost for it.

Best regards from B.
