I like to call it chic, others may use the word boring, but my home décor style is pretty minimalist, clean, modern and mid-century. I use a lot of walnut and greys.
After buying our first home last year, I went to great lengths to strategically choose each piece of furniture and am pleased with the way things are coming together.
Now here comes Baby Mac. I KNOW he will transform my house from top to bottom in primary colors sooner than later, however I am trying to prolong the inevitable as long as possible. Therefore, I've invested in several furniture pieces with lots of storage so I can put all his toys and supplies away, and am choosing neutral colors for most of my baby gear so it will blend in a little bit more.
As my home is three stories, we've invested in a multi-use playpen for our home,to put on our main floor so we don't have to go up and down all day long. The playpen also acts as a bassinet (to nap in), a changing pad, and comes with storage and a laundry hamper -- and the best part is, its grey :)
We've put it together and tucked it away in the middle of the room as discreetly as possible. Can you find it?

I can already hear you mothers out there chuckling, as I'm pretty sure a week after I bring baby home, my house will be a downright mess for the rest of my life :) I'm holding on to some dear hope in the meantime, trying to minimize looking like a daycare facility.

I totally spotted the beautiful playpen (great place for it! - central location).
ReplyDeleteBaby stuff is just big and bulky no way around it.. But then after that you'll have toys..Lots of toys..which will talk at all hours of the night. (: And you'll be those parents constantly searching for batteries.
ReplyDeleteTalking toys!? I didn't even anticipate that! Well the longer I can compactly keep the baby stuff to one section the better. You seem to be doing a good job at your place, still looks glamourous!
