Bedroom 3 - setting up the nursery
Soon after we moved in we found out the fantastic news that we were having another baby. Sooner then we'd planned and extremely excited.
I will confess I had a few panic moments, when I'd look around the house and think baby death trap. But we achieved so much in such a short period of time. Especially given we were both working, parenting and renovating. (Life is never dull).
We dreamt of connecting the 3rd bedroom to the rest of the house.
First to sand the floors, before knocking thru the new door.
Excited to be meeting you soon.
Liam just as excited and happy to help unwrap some presents for the baby's new room
You arrived!! :)
In the family bassinet
Our beautiful Eamon in his cot that we love.
Love you!
PS. it's a shame I don't have any before images of this room, as it's the one that's probably had the biggest transformation. You'll have to take my word for it ;)

Love it! A tree musuem in Switzerland.
What a beautiful idea!
The Tree Museum is situated on 75,000 square meters of breathtaking land near Upper Lake Zurich in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland. It exhibit's individual trees from the collection of Enzo Enea, the Swiss landscape architect and one of the world’s most prominent tree collectors.
In a series of open spaces we show our appreciation for trees by using them to create spaces in a unique way that integrates aesthetics, sustainability, history and lifetime.
Our passion for landscape architecture and our tireless creativity to explore new structures and forms of garden rooms led us daily through the design and construction of this great project.
At any given time there will be approximately 120 trees on view, including a 130 year old Red Japanese Maple.

Just the inspiration I wanted to start me thinking about a feature tree for the back yard.
