Hi. I'm currently 17 weeks and will be starting to put baby's room together soon. Gradually, of course, but I'm single and don't have help so I want to get everything done before I get too big and tired to do anything!
I'd love to go pinterest crazy and create my dream nursery with newly painted walls and borders and all that jazz, but I'm stuck in rented accommodation where I can't redecorate AT ALL. I'm also stuck with all the furniture in the room as there's nowhere to move it to (it belongs to the landlord, not me, so I can't sell it), so turning the room into a baby's den will be a little challenging. We'll be living in this house at least until baby is 16 or 17 months old.
The room as it currently is: walls that I believe started off a yellowy-beige colour but are now faded and a bit gross. The carpet is thin and a dark red colour. There's a single bed, armchair, wardrobe, desk, shelf, drawer unit, bedside table and two windows, both with really old yellow curtains.
So, those of you who like to decorate - how would you transform this room? I have a little bit of money to play with, nothing massive but not a shoestring either. I will be finding out the baby's gender next week so gender-specific ideas are welcome, it doesn't have to be all white and cream. This is my first child so I know nothing - impart to me your wisdom!
Thanks in advance and many to anyone who replies
