Kiddo Bath - Before + After

You may or may not remember that I suffer from a condition called OCDD. (For more information click here.)

I've had what you might call a *flare-up* in recent weeks. The impending holidays always throw me over the edge and I've been running around like a *chicken-with-its-head-cut-off*, nesting, so that I we can roost comfortably, all winter long.

Nothing gets me checking off boxes or nesting more quickly than the promise of dinner quests, or a newborn child. (Am not pregnant.) I may curse them in the hours before their ultimate arrival, but I relish every anxious moment of preparation leading up to said moment.

Meet Dian. She hangs wallpaper! And she does it very, very well. Yesterday she came over to help me with wallpaper project #4 and 5.

This is wallpaper project #4: "Jazz In Central Park" by UK designer Lizzie Allen.  It took me a long time to choose exactly which design of hers I wanted to hang. Because I studied design in London, while in college, the city nearest and dearest to Lizzie's heart, is close to mine as well. In the end, NYC won and I don't have any regrets.

Happy, happy wallpaper!

Lord help me should the two-year old take a crayon to this wall like his sister did a Sharpie to the kitchen cabinets.
