Decorating the Nursery

Now that we know we are having a boy I could get on with decorating the nursery. We decided to go with a monkey theme because my hubby is mad about all things primate. I painted a tree and monkey mural on the wall, which came out almost as good as I hoped it would. I have also be building a lot of ikea furniture for the new room as hubby is hopeless at decoding the instructions. We are not completely finished but I am really happy with how it is looking so far.




We are off to Paris for a long weekend, one last romantic holiday together before our little man arrives and changes our world forever. My shop will be reopening again on Wednesday.

Wishing you all a pleasant weekend, and don't forget to enter my blog giveaway to win yourself a free mouse.

    I love that tree and monkey. I wanted to paint our boys walls but it wasn't to be and ended up with stickers.
    Have a great time in Paris, enjoy it while you can...
