Baby's Crib

Christian and I were fortunate enough to come across a free crib for our upcoming addition - and who can turn that away? We knew Micah was not ready for the twin bed we got him yet, but I really didn't want to buy another crib knowing that Micah probably won't be in it that much longer. So when we came across the free crib, we couldn't say no. The only problem was that it was in a honey color (which was very nice! just not what we were looking for) and we decided we wanted to paint it white.

We are not typically big DIY people, but decided this would be a good experience. I sanded the crib, and Christian primed and painted it. I definitely realized, after Christian began his part of the project, that I didn't sand as well as I had hoped...but I think we're both satisfied enough with the completed crib. It will be baby's crib until Micah grows out of his, and then we will make the switch. We are still pleased, however, for the job we did and think it will be a fine crib for the time frame we plan on using it.

Final outcome - yay!!

Baby's room still has a bit to go, but it certainly feels nice to have the crib put together and makes the prospect that we will be bringing a baby home in a little over 6 weeks a bit more of a reality...can't believe it's coming so soon!!
