While I was pregnant, I was way too paranoid to really nest. My mom and dad finally told me I had to paint the nursery and pretty much made me get the room ready. I would have waited until she was starting middle school or something.
But ever since she arrived, I'm on nesting overload.
We turned the eat in nook in our kitchen into a play area (I know, the peeps on HGTV would be horrified). I got a big, foam ABC mat, a comfy chair, etc. It's so nice to have her right there while I get dinner ready. And I can gate it off from the Doodle if I have to (who just loves that. Not.).
I now have my eye on the powder room and laundry room. Pinterest, by the way, is not helping this addiction. Too many cool ideas out there.
Anyone else a nesting fool? And give me your blog/magazine/other ideas. Fair warning. I will pin them.
