Baby Stuff

On Sunday we went to Target to look at baby stuff.  They had cribs on sale- and they came with a free mattress.  We couldn't pass up this great deal- so we bought one.  Of course we didn't think about the size of the box and the size of our trunk/car... yep, it didn't fit.  So, Doug, thinking quickly, suggested we just take it out of the box.  With the help of two wonderful Target workers (one not wearing a coat and it was freezing out!), we were able to get all the pieces in the car.  We then headed to Lowes to see if we could get a paint sample.  We had already narrowed our color choice down, so getting the sample was easy and we picked up a paint brush (we don't have any yet) and some painters tape.  

It's the color on the right.

When we got home, we couldn't wait to put the paint on the wall- so we did.  Just a little behind the door to see if we really liked- which we did.  The room isn't big, so we didn't want to bright/strong of a color.  We are also planning on adding dark brown and blue accents.  After the paint, we put the crib together.  Since we're having guests next week, we didn't want to put it in the baby's room yet, so we put it together in our room.  We made sure it would fit out our bedroom door, so we could eventually transport it the baby's room.  So we put part of it together and it went pretty smoothly.  We decided to store it in the laundry room.  Well, when we measured to see if it would fit through the door, we weren't thinking about the new pieces that we added to the sides, so now it didn't fit through the door.  We had to undo half our work and decided to leave it at that.  We'll finish putting it together when it's actually in the baby's room.

So pretty!! Love the color!

Oops- doesn't fit now...
