Progress!

Welcome back! I'm a happy girl today! I'm happy every time I buy stuff... and did I ever buy stuff today! Haha!

I ordered 2/3 of my nursery furniture!!! I ordered the dresser and wardrobe in the picture. I found a crib I like better from the same company in reasonably the same color... So, I'll be getting that a bit later. I only ordered this early because its a 20 week order and won't be in until the end of August... and my EDD is end of November! So, it was important to get it done ASAP! I also wanted to get in on their "Buy 1 piece, get the 2nd piece for 30% off!" deal that ended at close tonight! I got the wardrobe for $279.99 and the dresser for $160.99 down from $229.99! Yay!



This is the crib! And, it doesn't have to be ordered 20 weeks in advance! :)


The crib has a little tiny bit more cherry to it than the other set but only a little. And, I like the shape a lot more than the other crib. So, since the nursery is pretty large, I intend to put them on different walls anyway... I don't think you'll notice honestly. I just wish I could see them next to each other now... ya know? Just so I could be sure! I can't stand it when wood finishes are significantly different... Probably something to do with the interior design degree! ;)

Also... I bought a pram! I'm excited! I love it! Gender neutral and GORGEOUS!

It's a Safety 1st AeroLite Travel System! The car seat is 5-35 lbs and the pram is up to 40 lbs. So, all I really need is a booster seat for after. Most infant seats only go up to about 20 lbs... So, I'm pretty happy about that! It was $179.99, and I got it 20% off... So, only $143.99!

I'm now working out paint colors! I plan to have one wall painted a sort of celery green with a chocolate brown rectangle for my wall appliqué... THIS! The other walls will probably remain the cream color they currently are!


Rectangles painted on walls aren't exactly new to me... I have hand-painted rectangles and murals all over my bedroom walls!

That's it for tonight! I might scan and post paint chips later to see what you all think! I'll add some pics/scans of the greens I know I'll be using too!

  1. The furniture is gorgeous Megg!!

    I feel the same as you about the wood, but I am sure you can work something out if they are too different, with placement or something so it doesnt look off!

    Chocolate brown and green are awesome colours. I LOVE them

  2. Thanks! I'm trying really hard to figure out how I can compare them now so I know if I need to give in and order the crib too... or if I can make it work with the one I like! There has to be some way to get the 2 finishes next to each other... but I don't know what! If only they gave you samples like they do for flooring and stuff! LOL
