Nesting 2014

As 2014 rolled in, we were hit by a major nesting bug. Well, hubby specifically. He's been installing lights and setting up extension cords everywhere (we have 3 in our bedroom alone!) We also have a ton of stuff but not enough storage space. The past couple of years we've been planning to put up storage in our bedroom but never had the time nor the resources. One day, hubby went ahead and ordered some at a store in Market, Market. Around the same time, we bought two free-standing cabinets from SM North Edsa's Our Home for my side of the bed.

 

I spied this pillow case in Our Home while buying the cabinets. It was the last piece.

Since I cleared some of my stuff from the top of the shoe cabinet, I put in a teal (wedding motif!) vase with fake grass and a painting from my law school classmate. I want small but real house plants, even if I do end up killing the poor things. That wall needs something, perhaps decals, or more shelves to hold my gazillion of books.

Just last week, we had combi blinds installed to replace the curtains in the living room and the kitchen.

According to Wikipedia:

           In human females, the nesting instinct often occurs around the fifth month of pregnancy,^[1][9] but can occur as late as the eighth, or not at all.^{[citation needed]} It may be strongest just before the onset of labor.^[1][10][11]

           It is commonly characterized by a strong urge to clean and organize one's home and is one reason why couples who are expecting a baby often reorganize, arrange, and clean the house and surroundings.

As I tweeted a while back, in our case, it's not the acquiring of stuff that's tough, it's having the bebe to put in the nest. Oh well. At least we now have a pretty nest.
