When I got the shell built on Pennethorne Manor and was showing Brian the rooms, he asked where the nursery was. I said there wasn't going to be a nursery. Just the other day he brought it up again and I decided that yes, I think the house needs a nursery. Putting it above the breakfast room now balances the house on the right and left sides. Brian cut the walls for me and I glued everything in place. I placed an order for wallpaper, flooring, windows, and a ceiling light. I'm looking forward to furnishing and decorating the nursery.
What once was going to be an outdoor deck/sitting area is now the nursery. I think it was serendipitous that I put in a door!
What a lovely and handy husband you have Teresa! :D A nursery is a grand idea and now gives you even more opportunities to decorate and play! :D

Thank you Elizabeth! He is pretty wonderful! I'm already shopping for nursery furniture! LOL! I can't decide if I should go with white Victorian furniture or dark wood Victorian furniture . . .

Nothing better than a sweet nursery. How exciting, and congratulations on your new bundle of joy! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Carrie! I must admit, I'm pretty excited to decorate a nursery!

I think this is a great example of how Holly over on the Greenleaf forum says that a house speaks to you. I love the idea of having a nursery, as the couple looks to be in their prime reproductive years! And, you'll still have lots of landscaping opportunities elsewhere! I wonder... Boy, girl, twins???
ReplyDeleteThank you Jodi! Yes, I agree. My houses have always spoken to me, although sometimes I don't listen until the very end and upon great persistence on the part of the house! LOL! I want to do a very pretty nursery with lots of soft pinks and whites . . . there's a hint for you! LOL!

Hello Teresa Marie,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you opted to add a nursery. I think a house like yours calls for one.
Big hug

Thank you Giac! The house feels more balanced now. The breakfast room was kind of sticking out like a sore thumb! LOL!

How clever. When I finally get to build Beacon Hill, I might follow your example.
ReplyDeleteThank you Megan! I added about six inches to each side of the Beacon Hill for more room. The nursery was a little late to the party, but I'm happy with how it turned out. AND . . . one more room for decorating! Yay!
