My mother-in-law suggested that I leave the guest bed in the room so if I decided I wanted to still use it as a guest room (for grandmas coming to help out) I could. So as you can see below my guest bedroom is not very organized. With people giving me stuff and the recent baby shower, I have turned my guest bed into a throw pile.
Along with that throw pile, I have two dressers crammed into the corner. One (the smaller one) full of newborn to 3 month baby clothes. My bassinet (which you can't really see to the left) didn't really need to be in there so I moved it to my master bedroom.
As you can see this bedroom has become a catch-all room for random things like my husbands road bike.
After some strenuous use of muscle, I was able to move the guest bed into the far corner to give me more floor space and I finally put some linens on it to make it functional.
The bigger (empty) dresser was moved into the closet which I will show you in a second and the smaller dresser was moved over just a tad to make way for the crib. Currently the linens on the crib are ocean themed (given to me by my cousin) but once I get done recovering them, they will match my quilt that I made. I also left the highchair in their for the time being because there is no space in my dinning room for it. The black thing on the wall is part of a tv mount which I will take off later once I am able to borrow an impact drill from my husband. The black trashcan in between the crib and the dresser is going to be my diaper pail (as soon as I purchase a liner for it).
Since I moved the bed I had a small space where I could place my rocking chair and chunky nightstand. I think this is my favorite part of the room.
So I;m sure you are probably wondering where all of the baby stuff that was previously taking up my guest bed went. Well it got stuffed up to the ceiling in our small guest bedroom closet along with that large dresser. As of right now all of Liam's clothes that are hanging fit fine in there but once I do more reorganizing, specifically with the drawers of the two dressers, I'm not sure if that will change.
I know this isn't spectacular or anything but it is what I have to deal with right now. I'm not painting the room since we are renting and will hopefully be out soon. I might decide to hang some art work however once it gets closer to time. Even though I am happy with the work that I put into this nursery, I am hoping we will never have to use it and will be moved in to our new home soon :(.
