Our two spare rooms are the Bug Room and the Planet Room, named after the decor left behind from the previous owners. The Planet Room (planets not shown) was our art/sewing/junk room:
And the Bug Room was our spare bed/junk room:
After lots of junk removal (mostly to the basement) and some organization, I present to you The Soon-To-Be Bug-Free Nursery:
And the Still Planetary Spare Bed, Sewing and Everything Else Room:
Yes, our house is teensy. That queen takes up about 75% of that room. But what are you going to do? Well, yes, move. And we will, eventually, but until then, I'll just have less space to explode my sewing projects.
I don't have a real fancy plan for the nursery decor yet. All I know is that it MUST include this peacock decal which has stolen my heart. I'm so smitten; I want one in every room!!
Of course, once that's on the wall, there's not really much room for anything else. Here's my Sketchup of the room with just two standard cribs and a dresser.
Add a rocking chair in the corner, and that's pretty much all the real estate. So while a fancy chair rail beadboard thing would be pretty cool, I don't know if it's worth the effort just to cover it all up anyway. So, peacock it is!
Anyway, that is the fascinating story of my interior decoration thus far. I suppose I should give an update on the twins, too.

And, for those who are counting (me), 74 days left until retirement. Woo! I still have no idea what I'll do with myself in the jobless, babyless, mobility-less interim, but I'm sure I'll come up with something. Streaming Netflix won't let me down.
