Have I mentioned that I have the best family and friends a girl could ask for? I know that I frequently boast about my fabulous husband but perhaps I don’t mention enough where he got his fabulousness from. You see, not only did my amazing Mother-in-Law knit Erica a new cardigan but she’s also knitting one for Greer. AND, my similarly amazing Father-in-Law is currently upstairs with the aforementioned fabulous husband papering the girls’ bedroom while I faff around on the internet get on with the ironing.

Bob is really harbouring doubts about this paper. Some of you may remember my excited tweets from last Summer when we stayed in a gorgeous hotel in Brighton with the most beautiful wallpaper I had ever seen. After tweeting a photograph of it, my fantastic twitter friends identified it immediately as a £50-a-roll designer brand. Now I adored this wallpaper, but I didn’t £50-a-roll adore it if you catch my drift so I put it out of my mind and decided to forego it until we visited our local B&Q and found a very similar pattern.

At that point, this paper was supposed to be for our bedroom but before we got the chance to put it up we ended up moving out and handing our room over to the girls which left me with a dilemma. My new bedroom is completely white, very calm and I have slept better than ever since we moved in there. I loved the paper, but wasn’t convinced it would work in our new room so being the ever-loving mother that I am I agreed that we’d put it up for the girls.

It’s taken me six months to finally part with it and even now I’m trying to persuade Bob to move our room back. I don’t think he’s going to agree to it, but it’s suddenly becoming such a nice prospect to spend time in the girls’ room. I just hope it looks as amazing as I envisage…
