    Awww . I think it looks great the way it is now, everything lines up nicely and it looks neat and tidy. I love your furniture, it's absolutely beautiful!

    I understand how you feel though! We finally set up the nursery last weekend and I made poor DH move things around so many times until I was finally satisfied LOL! I don't want to change it again or it'll do my head in.

    Whatever happens, don't move the furniture yourself!

    I like it like this... And keep the bed in there... Cause I am sure there will be many times when it comes in handy for you...

    I think it looks great. We only have a cot and a stereo in Miss M's room - and the rest of the room is used for storage space!! lol

    We figure that she only sleeps in there (hmm well when she's not in our bed) and she doesn't play in that room, she plays in the lounge or in DS's bedroom. So its working for us at the moment

    Thanks ladies, when I first arranged it like this it "felt right" uncluttered considering what is actually in there, the flow felt good. I just keep looking at it and feel like I need to do something.

    There will eventually be stuff in the huge gaps between the ceiling and the teddy border but not until bubbie comes.

    I said to DH this morning that I am feeling restless and like I need to fix something or rearrange something. I am restraining from buying anything baby as DH doesn't want me to until we get past 25 weeks seriously I don't think I will last the next 6 weeks

    I could wash my MCN's but then I will need to do that later on before bub arrives

    Quick somebody distract me

    If that pic is looking in from the doorway, I would personally have the cot where the bed is and the bed where the cot is. I (still) find myself liking the fact that I can check up on Harry just by looking in from the doorway rather than having to walk over to the cot and look in (if that makes sense?)
    Your bubs room is beautiful Nae, I really love it.

    Thanks Lisa,
    I tried the cot where the bed is but the length of it starts covering the window if I run it the same way, hmmmm I wonder how it would look if I did it diagonally NOW there is an idea.
    Only bugger about the bed side is it is on two external walls and there is no insulation in the walls, but then we don't get the draft coming from under the door.... ahhhhh tooooo many things to work out.

    my brain is over stimulated

    It looks great Nae - I would be too embarrassed to post pics of my bubs room, in progress still!

    My only qu would be where are you going to BF? Sitting on a bed is not going to work well I wouldnt think - it takes so long to BF a little one that you need a good upright chair. Is there one in the room? or are you going to go out of the room to BF?

    Hey Rachel,

    I have noooo idea where I a going to BF. Thats why I was thinking I should get a nursing chair. The bed was more so if for some reason I needed to sleep in the room - can't imagine why but you never know. If bub was restless and DH needed to sleep then I could comfort bub and sleep in the room too.

    I am trying to work out if I have room to add a nursing chair in there, I could move the toy box and put one at the foot of the cot, there is a power point there so for a light or something its a good spot.

    I reckon though no matter what I think now, it will be completely different when bubbie comes. PLUS the bed is a childs bed so for later on its one less thing we need to worry about.
