New life, new start, new list

Long break since september, but for a good reason. I've been busy with the Ultimate DIY Project: having a baby! Lots of new things I have learned from all that, all of which I will share, like decorating our nursery and using modern cloth diapers

There's also been some new developments regarding our ecohouse. Talks with our architect will start in a few weeks, so I will brainstorm quite a bit about this in the near future. With pictures, of course, like this one from the magnolia mom

And talking about a new house naturally leads to talking about our current house and most importantly: getting it ready for sale. There will be a seriously long to-do list coming up soon, including a bit about lighting (what a mess)

And besides all this, I also need to make two wedding guest outfits for july. One things for sure, none of this is as important as taking care of my baby boy and recovering from bringing him into the world. So I'm not pressuring myself about how often I'll be blogging. We will see how it goes.

The two cabinets: before and after

As promised, here are the pictures of the two little cabinets I've been posting about last week.

After


I think they turned out great! And together with the new crown molding and fresh white walls, our bedroom has improved a lot. It now really feels like a nice place to be, quiet but cosy.


We also bought some bedside lamps at IKEA, so the days of having to get out of bed to turn of the lights are finally over.
Now all we have to do is find another dresser. The one we have is practical, but it doesn't mix with any of the other furniture and I just want something else. I keep you posted about the replacement.
