I haven't posted much "baby" stuff lately, so I thought I'd bring you a baby post.
I am officially 22+ weeks. Which means this little man will be here in {around} 18 weeks! I've still got quite a ways to go, but these 22 weeks passed by SO quickly, that I know with Sadie starting school and the Holidays, these 18 will go by even faster.
So we are officially planning out the "nursery."
If you've been following me for a while, you know that we live in South Korea. We currently live on post in a 3 bedroom apartment. We will be here until August 2016, which means that little man will only live in this house for about 8 months. That on top of the fact that we can't paint, means it will be a pretty minimalist room. He will be in the rock n play in our room for the first couple of months anyway. And of course, we have family coming to visit to meet the little fellow so we still need a guest room.
Enter our nursery/guest room combo. And here I bring you our top five inspirations for designing the room.
iKEA day bed. I've had my eye on this one for a while. We have an ikea in Korea and we will be grabbing up this baby pretty soon! I love the extra storage it will give us AND it expands out for when we have multiple visitors. When we move back to the States, this will become Sadie's new bed.
Navy & White. Since we found out we are having a little boy, I've pretty much fallen in love with the Navy & White Color combo. I don't want it to be Nautical, but it'll mostly be geometric shapes of Navy & White, with maybe a few pops of red considering RED will be his initials.
World Map. I found this on Pinterest and pretty much fell in love with it. We will definitely be putting up something similar. What better room theme than when living overseas?!
Crib & Changing Table. We will be using Sadie's old crib now that she is in a big girl bed. Works perfectly with the white bed. I also plan on ordering a coordinating white changing table. Since there will be the bed with drawers in the room, I won't be doing a dresser, and instead utilizing his big closet space more. There's also a White Chair we've placed in the room. We decided to put the rocker in our bedroom for now since that is where we would probably rock him more. Then they will get switched back out when the time comes. This one is similar.
Speaking of the closet. As a bonus, I found this great inspiration for his closet. An easy way to stay organized and take advantage of the space in a rental!
Well there you have it! All the ideas spinning around in my head, now I just need to execute them! Hopefully I will have the "after" pictures to show before he gets here! Wish me luck!
We used to have that day bed! We sold it when we moved, and I wish we didn't… I would love to have it again!
