The Bedrooms

Ooh, its been a little while since i hopped on my home blog. I have got the reno bug though, and have been out and bought some new mags to start making a scrap book of what we want to do with the house. Whether we are lucky enough to be chosen for this show or not, we still need to do some major renovations, and really don't have much time to mess around - with Tae getting bigger every day - yes, i know, he is still teeny tiny tae at just over 4kg for 4months of age, but we know how fast time flies and soon enough he will be too big for the cradle.


So, in the first pic above, you will see our room. The bedrooms were the first things we did when we moved in to the house. They were such a state, we ripped up the carpets and scrubbed and scrubbed away at the floors and wall. The previous owners were obviously heavy smokers, and there was literally a profile of where they had sat up against the wall in bed, the outlining on the wall in smoke soot - it was disgusting. So after a thorough cleaning, we painted, laid new carpet and had built in robes installed - plug for Betta Wardrobes!



Its pretty cramped though, so as you can see, we have the baby's cradle against the wall, and for extra storage, a chest of drawers, plus another small set of drawers on top.


Mali's room is just tiny. We have said though, if worst comes to worst, we can remove the change table and rocking chair and will fit another small bed or cot in by the window - definately not ideal though. We look forward to eventually moving Mali in to our room, which will be great, as we have the tv on the wall, and its hooked up to a dvd, so our main tv is not over run by kids movies all the time. It will be a good sized room for keeping some of her play stuff too. Will probably move the rocking chair in there - i just love it for cuddling and reading books on - and that will make a bit more space in Tae's room.
