Nursery Gallery

When I decided to leave my job and finish my University degree full-time, I had big plans for myself. I was going to write here everyday, cook breakfast, lunch and dinner, keep the house clean and tidy, study hard (and get good grades), walk and train the dogs more actively so they know more than just the "sit" command, start yoga and be fit (BIG plans, I tell you!), and, on top of that, make time to relax, clear my mind and contemplate future goals, more specifically, the ones that involve me getting closer to an interior decorating career.

While this schedule may appear overly ambitious to some, I really thought that I would be able to make it happen. Yes, I know, I know, what was I thinking?! It was naive of me to assume that removing 40 hours of work a week from my schedule would turn me into a superwoman overnight.

The reality check arrived express-post the first week of the semester, like a nice big slap in the face. Lately, my days actually mainly consist of reading, writing, studying and then more studying. Although I do make breakfast everyday and have tried yoga (twice...with a dvd in my living room...in my pyjamas. Still counts!). I also have to admit that I have allowed myself more too many breaks in between readings to make a batch of ginger-molasses cookies and some chocolate-bourbon-orange cupcakes...and maybe a quiche or two but really that's it, I swear! The rest of the day is entirely dedicated to waaay too much studying. All work and very little play. My poor brain. I shall give it a rest from research for tonight and simply post a selection of my favourite nurseries for a friend of mine who is expecting a baby of her very own in the next few months. Photos of children's rooms are so much fun to flip through and I have always thought that they would be the best room in the house to decorate because you can go completely nuts with colour and patterns. I have seen many sweet, whimsical fabrics and furniture pieces that are just waiting to make their way into a little boy or girl's nursery.

Have a great day.
