And the nesting continues...With all this time off between Christmas and New Years, we've made some serious headway in getting our house in order.
The first order of business was the closet in our 2nd bedroom/office/soon-to-be baby's room. This is huge closet that spans the entire length of the wall, and we had been totally wasting the space for four years now. We just had the original clothes bar hanging across the whole closet and we threw whatever junk we found onto the closet floor. Believe me, it wasn't pretty. Since we're combining the office and the nursery, we realized the need for a more efficient use of space, and it all started with the closet. Jody and I talked about what we wanted to do with the space--half office stuff, half baby stuff--and then Jody put together a rough closet floorplan. We took the plans to the Container Store and got a pretty sweet Elfa closet system (thank you annual Elfa sale!).
I give Jody all the credit here for this project. He put it all together himself, since I'm pretty useless these days in the lifting, holding and climbing departments. Really, Jody has been the one leading our nesting efforts. So anyone who thinks that I am the one influencing all of our getting-ready-for-the-baby stuff, you're totally wrong. Jody's the one reading things, building things and influencing me to really start focusing on things to prepare, and I am just lucky to have him.
We haven't filled the closets yet, but here are some pictures of the system:
