ORC Week 1 - Guest room to Nursery

Hello everyone!

I'm so excited to join in on one of the most prestigious Link Party around - the
ONE ROOM CHALLENGE or otherwise known as the ORC!

LINK UP HERE

I love linking up to a lot of fabulous parties, but the ORC is different since it requires everyone to try and finish a room in the next 6 weeks, with other featured Designers and bloggers who year after year, come up with the most Amazing and drool-worthy results! 

Truly a feast for the eyes, and inspiration can be found all throughout the challenge!

I believe that our THIS OLD HOUSE Magazine feature of our Reading nook (found HERE), was partly because of this party and I am grateful to Linda for coming up with this great idea!  

In other words, a lot of exposure can be had for anyone and everyone!

Anyway, enough intro, let me me share the room we'll be working on...

GUEST ROOM BEFORE

GUEST ROOM NOW

YUP, BROWN 'goodness' all around in this space ;-)

Our current guest room upstairs will be converted into a NURSERY for our baby girl!

For this little darling of ours (minus the Hair Hat)! ;-)

You see, although I had plans for our nursery early on in my pregnancy, we decided to have our baby stay in our room for the first couple of months, I wrote about it all HERE.

Here's what our current set-up looks like...

I made the necessary changes to accommodate my little baby in our Master bedroom -
DETAILS of this room can be found HERE

It actually looks pretty to me.

 But after a long day's work, and an ever-steady-growth of baby stuff (not to mention her BETTER SLEEP ;-)), it's time to move baby into her own room  - sniff, sniff - so my hubby and I can reclaim our 'sanctuary'.

So are you ready for a 6-week-roller-coaster-ride? I think I am!
I'm so excited to see what the others are doing! In case your interested, here was what I did the last time I joined the ORC...
