Rachel's new room

Ever since we moved in, I've wanted to decorate the back bedroom. Mostly because it has the boiler in it (random!!). In fact the boiler was half in a cupboard, but it was so big that they had cut the door in half to be able to get it in. 

And it was decorated for a young teen. 

After we had R we knew that eventually we would like to move her in to this room - whether that be to have a new little addition in the nursery, or for two children to room share, so we could keep a guest room.

So, we had the boiler moved, and in march mum and dad came up, dad and dave started to fix the cupboard door. By "fix", of course, I mean transform! 

And then slowly over the year, having found out we were expecting again we slowly decorated the room for R to move in to.
