Nursery Time

I’ve been pinterst-ing all those cute nursery rooms ever since I became a mom-to-be. I'm loving
the idea using Ikea HEMNES dresser as a changing table:

We finally started working on Baby Chu’s “territory”. He’s most likely going to share the same room at least a few months with us in the master bedroom because the grandparents are going to stay in the other room during their visit.

**Crib** A good friend of ours caught this good deal for us: DaVinci Jayden 4-in-1 Convertible Crib with Toddler Rail, White with mattress for $186.99. It can be converted to a daybed with toddler rail and eventually becomes a full size bed!

**Bedding Set** My lovely co-worker bought me this The Land of Nod collection bedding set and this cutest quilt!

**Changing Table** Yep, I’m copying Pinterest idea to use Ikea HEMNES dresser as the changing table.

I’m now waiting for Charles to drill the holes and hang the frames on the wall. I have them all ready to go!

Dear Baby Chu - Week 30

Monday, January 20, 2014

Speed Up

一月的第二週, 安檢被打槍, 原來有水經常接觸的地方光有防霉作用的石灰板還是不夠的, 裝置在浴缸或淋浴空間的水泥板下還得再鋪上一層防水紙, 於是查理斯得把剛舖好的水泥板拆掉再補上這層防水的塑膠紙

緊接著過去這一週, 查理斯似乎是上了發條似的加速施工, 越做越發興趣:

Finally Get to See the Difference

Happy New Year :)

Charles got a few days off from Christmas to New Year. Look at what he has done!! so much warmer feeling isn’t it?

Just to remind ourselves it was like this two weeks ago:

And now, we not only have a FLOOR but also a CEILING in the bathroom!!

Charles also placed this beautiful drop-in tub to the right place. Our bathroom is wide enough that we can place a 6ft tub (American Standard Evolution 36” x 72”), a little bigger than the usual standard tub (30” x 60”). In addition, we get to fill the rest space with a decoration wall on the left.

And then here comes the drywall part as always. This greenish drywall is not the color that we pick for the bathroom. It is the mold-resistant drywall that’s supposed to go with every bathroom. Very important.
