Joe and I finally picked out and ordered our crib last night! Luckily Joe and I have the same taste in most things so it’s not about finding one we both like, it’s more about finding one that’s right for us and most importantly safe for the soon to be little one in our life.
After some thought, and already having two dressers in working condition in the previous guest room we decided to stick with the ones we have instead of purchasing the whole bedroom set. Yes it would be nice to have a matching set but to us, restoring the old furniture just makes more sense when we are talking about little munchkins running around with markers and crashing their trucks, tractors and/or doll buggies into them. It makes it easier for mommy to deal with the minor (hopefully not major) scratches and dings that are bound to happen! Until they are old enough to take care of their stuff, the old set it is! Now we just need to figure out what color to paint or stain (or both) the dressers. Ah the decisions! All for someone who really could care less!
Any ideas anyone?
The crib should arrive in about 7-14 days, which seems like forever when you are ready to start setting up the nursery! On a good note, that gives us time to take the current bed down, figure out where we are going to store everything that was in that room and start painting away! Oh, a medium chocolate color was our final decision, it’s called Teddy Bear! Fitting isn’t it?!
“Due Date” time is quickly sneaking up on us so until then, happy painting, cleaning and organizing…!
