So we've been working on Kyndall's nursery, and I think we're just about there. We ordered the crib, changing table, and dresser (not pictured) from our Base Exchange, and the wardrobe and bookshelf came from IKEA. Most people think we're in a shopper's dreamland here in Italy. Truth is, we're hard up to find anything decent. And when you do it's CRAZY expensive because of the horrible exchange rate. So creativity is the name of the game!
Unfortunately, we have limited space, so she's having to share her room with the office. But that's ok, we'll make do while we're here, and she can have her very own room when we return to the states. :)
Funny story about the canopy netting. Those of you who know Ramiro well, know that he can not stand the mosquito...he calls it the devil's bug. Anyway, we saw this netting at IKEA and he HAD to have it. The thought of a mosquito getting into Kyndall's room and biting her just sends him over the edge...lol. I can't say that I blame him, and I think it turned out pretty cute. Ok, so here's a few pics from "her" side of the room...lol. ;-)
A lot of people have told me that changing tables are a waste of money. But we're happy to get any additional storage space we can find. Plus, I like the idea of having a "designated" changing area.
Cramped for space...hence her little swing being about as big as her bouncy seat!
Precious... ;-)
