The Baby's Room

Hi everyone!

We wanted to do a little something special for the baby, Nicolas for those who don't yet know. So, with a few weeks to prepare and too much imagination for our wallet's well being, we started thinking about cool things. Nothing was off-limits!

Reality had to set in at some point. No, we couldn't actually move our house so that an actual tree would pass through the room. Instead, we decided to bring in some nature in the form of a reclaimed barn wood accent wall. Bonus, it's a very simple DIY project that even I wouldn't struggle with. Without further ado, I present to you the project's pictures, from start to finish!

It started with a wall...
...and some wood.


Then, you simply line the pieces up in a ramdom fashion.


Almost halfway there!


Leave a secret message behind the wood.


Mommy too, off course!


Mommy's message is longer than daddy's :o)


Ask uncle to help mommy to cut the last piece...


...then nail it!


Tada!!!


Now, if only we had a cool night-light to go wit- ... well, look at that!


And it can change colour too!


This baby room doubles up as a disco :o)


Pick your mood!


Ready for you kiddo!


So there you have it!

I'd be remiss if I didn't thank the uncle for his help with the lighting and the electrical, so here: thanks Karlito!!

All we need now is the baby. Soon, I'm told, soon...
