thirty-three weeks and clifton manor

me and the bump are 33 this week. down to only seven more, how marvelous!

also, i can finally spill this secret- we finally found the place of our dreams to rent for the next few years. i've already named it clifton manor {or 'the manor' for short} which is really fitting because it's on clifton blvd and it totally feels manor-ly. 

we are in love! it's huge and beautiful and charming. we signed our lease today and now we're really anxious to get moved in {end of may!} and make it home. also, it just feels so good to have a plan, to know where we're going to be. the limbo was killing me!

the best part? the owners are the nicest people ever and they're letting us paint the nursery the perfect shade of blue. i always wanted to paint and put together the perfect little space for the piquichito but i had resigned myself to the fact that we're renting and it just wouldn't be possible. 

except that now it is! oh my goodness, i'm so happy. i can't wait.

here are a few pictures- these are off of my iphone, so the quality is less than stellar. also it's being painted and fixed up so it's under construction for the next few weeks...

so, picture it all done!

working on the the front 

front door into the living room, two views

a peek into the dining room

sunroom right off the living room {that wall is windows all the way down, i love it}

hallway past the dining room, bathroom & kitchen {not pictured} toward the bedrooms- check out my hall storage!

at the end of the hall is my favorite room of all- the nursery, soon to be painted the perfect blue

the view out of the back door in the kitchen. there's a cute yard with a deck off the master bedroom back there.

what do you think? you love it, right?

we sure do!
