Organizing: Nesting Part 3 {Playroom}

Playroom

This is where Tiger spend most of his time when I am at work.

I can't wait for Lil Dragon to share the room with him.

In order to create more storage,

we bought a cheap beech coloured cupboard from Giant to replace the chestnut bookcase.

I was planning to vamp up the cupboards but that's for another day since there is so much to do.

I finally moved the IKEA glass cabinet into the store room.

The moving resulted in pelvic pain to date..hmmph...

I moved my old books and files to the top and covered them with thick blue cardboard cut into waves.

Now, we have more a little more space and definitely more organized.

Bliss....

I don't know about you but I feel exhilarated after a massive organizing spree..

Hehe, psycho, I know...I am for hire if you need someone for organizing.

Heck, I'll probably do it for free.

 I was saving the parking garage for after the arrival of Lil Dragon so that Tiger will be kept busy but

I caved in to his incessent "Open, open, PLEASE!"

While I was putting it together, I was so glad I did not wait.

It took 2 hours and a bloody thumb.

That's how much of an idiot I am at doing stuff like this.

Here, Tiger was doing his happy strumming dance 

^.^

 He absolutely loved it!

According to Tiger:

Mama: red car

Tiger: blue car

Daddy: black car

^.^

It fitted nicely onto his train table which I covered with black felt and some large puzzle pieces.

We also added some trees and petrol station for fun.

Organizing: Nesting Part 2 {Study room}

 Study room

I have a confession to make.

Little Tiger's study room is my favourite room in the house.

I suspect it's his fav too

since it is the first thing he ask for in the morning

^.^

Just because Little Dragon's arriving soon doesn't mean my boy gets any less attention.

No way!

In case I end up getting butchered (so crude, I know),

I decided to make the study more Tiger-friendly.

<<< >>>

We love the little IKEA table and chair set despite 2 mini accidents, so far.

He has since learned that sitting in a civilised manner would decrease further incidents.

The little pink MAMMUT stool is "Mama tool"

Nobody else is allowed to sit on it  ^.^

We do most of our painting/writing/stamping/right brain memory work/flashing on the desk.

His Tot Tray Shelves have been moved to the side.

He is now Montessori-ed, hehe, the mats are a MUST for trays.

In order to provide more space for Tiger's books since he is able to handle paperbacks now,

I added the another bookcase (from his playroom).

Actually, the help did most of the heavy lifting since my pelvis is killing me.

His Panda Chair has been promoted to the study as well.

I am not sure if the new arrangement is refreshing or it tickles his fancy

but he definitely love reading A LOT more,

much to my delight.

The upper shelves are reserved for his right brain materials and mommy's papers.

More organizing is needed here.

Last but not least, Tiger's fav bookcase.

His puzzle storage...

L.O.V.E.
I have since rearranged the items so that the favoured ones are easily accessible.

Little Dragon: Nesting Part 1

I finally packed my hospital bag last night.

(Already late by my neurotic standards)

This time I am bringing my Medela single breast pump but I can't find the shield...darn!

Otherwise, I am all set.

I was telling Daddy that in case of emergency, please bring this bag to the hospital

and to remember the last-minute-stuff-note on the mirror.

He replied, "I know lar, this is not the first time, okay?"

Hmmm...

Little Dragon will be 'bunking' with us, so this is her little world for the first few months.

I would like a nursery but due to space limitations, here we are:

I am just swooning over the PINK.

After all the blue, trucks, balls and boring boy fashion, you really can't blame me....

The crib and crib bumper was Tiger's (which he used for 1 month only, brat!)

The crib bumper is for aesthetic purpose until she is able to roll over.

So, come, baby, come...but just turn around first, pleeaaase....
