We made good progress on the nursery and other baby prep this week when MH was off (he works the weekend so we had an early "weekend" heh) and even though things aren't finished finished everything is fully functional and ready for baby! Except perhaps her bassinet.... lol.. as I decided last minuted I wanted to give it a fresh coat of paint since it was slightly damaged (i got it second hand). So MH took it apart yesterday and I sanded it down etc and started painting today. Didnt quite finish yet as I was starting to feel unwell and had to sit down and put my elephant feet up, but it will be finished tomorrow! I choose a soft pink instead of white and I think it will look so cute!

I was given some wall decals. The room isn't decorated much otherwise. I think it's really cute. I love wall decals and those are so cute! I think my nursery may be over-decal-ed, lol.

@elliecat I love that owl blanket! And yay for getting the cradle set up! muscari I'm a little jealous of your cradle. I would have loved something like that for DD when she was a newborn! You should try to keep it if possible to pass it down to her. @starzia the decals look great! So cute!

My H is probably going to kill me but I hung up the pictures today and put the star decals in the baby's room and I absolutely love it! It really makes the whole room look finished. I'm T-11 days buy is totally finished!

The final result 😊 Once baby gets here the bassinet will be in our bedroom but for now I put it in the nursery. We still got to build the crib and it feels so empty otherwise heh.

Thanks ladies @easilyunamused cali pretty pleased myself tbh. MH didnt seem to want to comment on whether he liked the pink lol - kept saying he didnt mind either way whether I painted it or not - but I think this is much cuter AND I just love the fact I was able to do this one thing in lieu of baby prep on my own. Now my LO will have a fresh amd stainless little crib to sleep in. 😊

Btw my mum felt well enough again to do some sewing and is working on the insert for the wicker basket bassinet - I haven't seen any yet but have seen the fabric and it is going to be so cute! And I love how enthusiastic she is - I think doing something she loves rather then sit still and feel frustrated helps with her recovery as well.

So cute muscari! Your LO will love it! Not sure she will notice much as a newborn haha but I was thinking of maybe saving the bassinet for her - makes a perfect doll or teddybear bed when she s a litttle older right?? ☺

muscari, that came out great!! It's such a nice feeling to be finished with a project that you did all on your own.

Last bits and pieces of the nursery finally coming together. We've purchased a comfi relax fauteuil which will be delivered tomorrow! It's a lot less dark grey in real then it looks on this pic btw!! Mum will make some pillowcases etc in the same fabric of the curtains to go on the chair She also dropped off the bedding for the bassinet and all yesterday. I have to make some pics!

So we got our relax chair delivered this weekend and now the nursery smells really of new fabric and what not. I've had the window open to let things air out ever since but the smell just isn't going anywhere.. Any suggestions on what I could do to lessen it??

Can you turn it up high with the windows open or bring a portable fan in?
