I think I'm nesting!

Panda Bride, on November 29, 2010 at 12:15 AM Posted in Planning 0 13

FH and I move into our 1st official place together in 2 weeks, and I can't stop "pre-decorating" as he calls it. Every time we go to a store I wander through all the aisles saying "oh that would look cute hanging in the hallway" or "these pillows would match the guest room perfectly!". I've spent hours trying to find the perfect shower curtain for our master bathroom and we already have paint colors picked out. Is this nesting? Maybe we are just too excited to get away from my roommates!

    I think nesting only applies to pregnancy, but I could be wrong. Good luck with the new place!

    I am sure it's just the excitement of your first place together.

    I totally get what you mean... I've never lived on my own before and so I'm super excited (and nervous) to be out on my own (FH keeps reminding me that its not alone, its with him, lol). I do the same thing when out shopping.

    I've noticed FH will do it too! We were talking about possibly getting a 2 bedroom apartment so we could have a guestroom (probably not happening, but maybe), and he likes to pick stuff out for the "guestroom" haha. What a goof!

    Haha I guess it could be called nesting Smiley smile but if you're nesting then so am I!!! We move in 1 week and I already have new curtains, a rug, new pot and pan set, new shower curtain that took me forever to find as well!! Also I've been taking the pictures of the realty site and copying them into photoshop and 'painting' the walls to try out our paint colors! We have them picked out and finalized and will hit the road running next monday!!!

    Congrats on your new place and I think its completely normal (infact probably freaking weird if you aren't) to be so excited that you nest!! haha

    When I moved in, I bought an entirely new bedroom set (he had a dresser where 2/4 of the drawers didn't work, one nightstand and a queen bed--which all happily reside in the guest room now--the guest room was entirely empty), picked out curtains for the house, and rearranged/took over the whole kitchen. So, no, you aren't crazy.

    I feel ya, I am so excited to move into a house on the base and I been thinking about how to decorate the house. I can't wait to decorate and paint!! I am trying to not have the place be super girly lol, maybe little girly.

    LOL I thought nesting meant pregnancy too.

    Uh I thought you were trying to tell us you're preggers!

    But if you're moving in 2 weeks you should be doing more than "pre-decorate". Over the weekend, we bought a few items (including a washer n dryer on sale for 1/2 price that will arrive two weeks before we move!) for our new house. We move before the new year.

    It's so fun getting a new place and getting to decorate again... We're had two apartments together, but we got a new apartment after we got married and I was still had a "nesting" phase. I painted, picked out new items for rooms, and spent a few hours planning which room certain paintings and pictures would go in.
