He's been a busy cat indeed, spending the weekend painting the room - we opted for Dulux Fair Bianca in Half strength. I was leaning towards a soft pink but I thought it might be too much. Having a neutral base to work with means you can do so much more with the accessories!
We have chosen a chair, some shelves and a chest of drawers from Ikea.
We already have the cot, and the mattress etc. arrived today.
I have some decorative items, including an owl cushion from the Lovely Naomi from Manic Muffin Totes, but I am waiting until the furniture is all in before going nuts on the "stuff". I also need to finalise curtains quite quickly.
Lots of progress, but it feels like we still have so much to do!

The bits that you have already look gorgeous and I am sure it will all come together really well... Good for Mr Kitts!! X
I can't wait to see how the nursery ends up, Kitty. I love the 'foundation' pieces you have already and the owl pillow is very sweet. It reminds me of this darling little mobile which I'll be making if we have a little girl: http://homemadebyjill.blogspot.com/2011/06/owl-mobile-with-tree-template.html
I have to say the nursery is one of the things I'm finding it most difficult *not* to think about in these limbo weeks. I have just made a quilt for my friend's little boy who is due to arrive in 3 weeks, and I'm itching to put something togeher for our own little one!!!! (If you're curious, you can see the quilt I made on my 'other' blog - www.littlewhisk.blogspot.com). I have so many ideas! Dan keeps chastising me every time I think of something and exclaim about it. GRRR.
Weren't you going to get the cot in that fab bold green at one stage? I like the white I must say :).

Thanks SE - he's done a great job!
Amy - what an AMAZING job you have done on the quilt! I'm seriously considering commissioning you to do something for Little Miss K! We started thinking about the nursery when I was about 13 weeks, but only because we bought the cot etc. overseas on our holiday (so much cheaper). I was thinking the green, but I couldn't find anything that would match it for the nursery (and it's very VIVID in real life). Plus I liked a softer green - more like the chair colour. The white cot was a bit more neutral to build the rest of the nursery around... But don't fret - you have plenty of time to get organised for the nursery. So many options to consider. K xx
I love Fair Bianca. I've painted furniture in that colour, and it's beautiful and soft. I really like the sage colour of the chair. Looks so comfy. Can't wait to see the finished nursery too.
I bought an owl and a mouse from Manic Muffin Totes for a friend's baby a couple of years ago - one of the first things I purchased from Etsy! They are very cute and I think the owl you have chosen with look very nice with your colour scheme!
Sounds like it is all coming together nicely! That chair looks super comfy and I love the touches of green. The owl is a beauty. Was that the one named "Sweet Pea"??!!
