House Update - Room by room series

More on our house update - here is the nursery

BEFORE


 
The person that was in this room smoked and it was disgusting, the colour of the walls had discoloured due to the smoking and the smell was so strong I was unable to stay in there too long.
We took the hose in through the window and scrubbed down the walls.
Under the carpet we found partical board and then lino under that.
It took a couple of weeks for the smell to go and I think a couple of coats of new paint helped
 
AFTER
 

 
I always knew this room would be the nursery, it is the smallest room and works perfectly as a nursery. This room was painted with Antique White USA and Ceiling White.
I replaced the wardrobe doors with fabric due to cost as per the previous bedroom. The curtains in this room are the only different ones in the house, its a lovely linen multicoloured polka dot backed with a heavy white cotton.
Like the lovely hand knitted blanket on her cot... thanks to her Mimi
 
We were very lucky with all our nursery furniture, the little cupboard was my great grandma's and the change table and cot are second hand that we purchased on Ebay for a total of $100 and a friend gave us the basinette.
