As you can see slow progress is being made in Baby Atkinson's room.
I have got as far as sorting clothes into age piles (which will in fact have been futile once washing starts) towels in another pile, nappies and wet wipes together and then toys together.
The furniture is not set out as I intended but as I am unable to move it myself, I have been waiting for my handyman team to finalise a date to do the chores required. As luck would have it, they are due to start tomorrow (but this will be in Miriam's room first. She has patiently been waiting for her wardrobe and bathroom door and kitchen counter since she moved in 3 weeks ago).
While I was sorting the clothes etc, Chris got stuck in in the garage and finished off "sanding & sealing" the cubes that will go above the compactum. We started staining them about 6 weeks ago..... My intention is to have these hung along side the window where the wall is angled backing the lounge fireplace, but will have to see when the furniture is moved if it all fits how I want it to. I then ideally would like the cot across the other corner, with the feeding chair between them. Again we, will have to see how it all fits together. Although there are blinds in the room, we have decided to put curtains up too ~ just to "soften" the room for baby! There is a new bug light fitting to be hung as well as the bug wallpaper border to be stuck on.
So, hopefully by the end of the week our little treasure's room will be ready and waiting for his/ her imminent arrival.

Hi Dear Stace
Thanks for the two blog updates. Everything is coming along "just fine". Hope we get a chance to see the finished product (the room that is!! - but maybe the little darling as well, who knows!) when we return on 9th October. Yes, Eleanor obviously did a super job and a good time was had by all at teh shower- sorry we missed, it but we enjoyed the Durban one instead.
Lots of luv
G and H
The room is already looking super. Can't wait to see it complete with its designated occupant!
