nursery room

Micah and i have found an apartment. he will be here in utah as some people in his department have quit/moved making micah the guy with having more than 6 months training under his belt. but it's all great knowing where baby platt will be born and having family around :)

Onto the apartment! we have been discussing what will happen when my income will no longer be helping (at least for a couple of months) so we obviously needed a place that would be cheap inexpensive and nice. we also still need to contribute to our savings for a house next year too (yeah!)

So our solution here in the salt lake valley was a basement apartment. man oh man was that a scary experience. some of those basements out there i wouldn't let an animal live in, let alone a human! you may be asking "why a basement apartment?"

• all utilities included
• nicer neighborhoods
• no apartment stairs to the top floor

We found a great apartment yesterday evening. the family is so nice, the dad is actually a seminary teacher at SLCC, and the house is a newer one. it's a 1 1/2 bedroom 1 bath, washer dryer included, all utilities including satellite and internet, separate entrance, and lots of storage.

The funny part is the 1/2 bedroom...technically it's not really a bedroom because it has no window. it's more of a huge walk in closet. but it will work out great for a little nursery for now.

So onto the nursery decorating. it's a bit dark because there is now window. i had fallen in love with this nursery before:

Charming and sophisticated. but then i had to go on the search again for something bright, because the room would look like a cave with the darker gray/blue on the walls. then i ran into this nursery:

The robin egg blue paint. the yellow crib (ok ok i'll have to convince micah of that one) the white crisp bedding, and the fun mix of prints on the fabrics. i love it.

We can't wait until we get our own house. but that requires a lot of planning and saving (and my income would be a little helpful too!) so that is one of our main goals! soo jealous of those of you who have houses ;) but since you worked hard to get into your houses, you deserve it!
