Out With the Old, In With the New
Now, I hear that it’s pretty normal for someone who is pregnant to take part in what’s called ‘nesting’ activity. In other words, getting the home ready for the new arrival.
Though I’ve always been a big fan of redecorating and remodeling our house, I haven’t done any major projects in the last year or two. Recently, the bug to make some changes bit me and I’ve been a busy busy lady.
The plan – to empty out my current office and library of all of its furniture and most of its contents (pics below):
The library today…


The study/office today…
A glimpse into some of the misc stuff being collected and prepped for the yard sale
…And to replace the office with a nursery for the babies..and the library will soon become our new office. I’ve had an absolute blast spring cleaning/emptying out the two rooms and finding replacement furniture for each. There’s something about picking out colors, room pieces, etc…that’s just a ton of fun.
In two weeks, the old items will be out in a yard sale that I’m holding..and any leftovers..are then being donated to charity. Starting with the last weekend in the month, the new furniture will be arriving to set up the two new spaces. Can’t wait! J
I’ll show you the after pics next month once it’s all done.
How about you – Doing any remodeling lately? Has the spring cleaning bug hit you?

I definitely got the spring cleaning bug. After going through and redecorating my daughters room, painting, cleaning out my room… the list keeps going of all the things I want to get done.
wow! Wish I had some of that drive! I definitely need to do a big clean-up of my bookshelves, etc!
I just have to say what a lovely color the walls of your library are! I love the old school charm of maroon…gorgeous!
Thanks. We were going for a classic look.
I can’t wait to see what the end result looks like! I already have that nesting desire and I’m not even preggers yet!
You can tell when you’re really nesting when Jon starts hiding from you? Hee hee
I have been cleaning all my clothing out of my room. I have realized I have way to much for what I actually wear.
Good for you! It feels great to clear things out like that.
