So we moved: Z's room

Who would have thought 2 boring and not particularly fashionable people with no complicated hobbies and only one small infant could have so much crap to throw out/move? And yet it took us (read: me) two full days. The professional movers of course managed to do everything in under 3 hours including travel time but it was the sorting, packing, chucking out that was the most time consuming. I now have two big baskets of stuff to sell on ebay - most either unworn or unworn with tags. But that's another story.

So my first priority was Z's room to make the transition easier for her. I tried to recreate her room as best I could in what was an office. Here are the results

 

  Right of the bed.   Left of the bed
  Beloved rocking horse
Her auntie's dresser with Woodland creature lights & a panting that was in the office   Table and chair to do her reading/counting.

In order to create more space I closed up this door and she is able to go through the open doorway that leads to our room instead.


Bookcase  
Matching books up with their characters

  The view from her bedroom   At this point the bed is merely makeshift because she's going through a phase where she wants to sleep in between us so I didn't bother putting the toddler bed together as we're deciding whether to sell it, put it together and make her sleep in it or get a single bed and have one of us retreat to it when she crawls into bed at night. Right now her "bed" is actually a folded over futon with some mismatched bed linen but that's because she's not actually here, she's staying with her other grandparents.
