Last week Keith and I finally bought furniture. We actually only bought the crib and dresser (pictured here). Now, this is not our actual room (don't I wish we were this far along). Anyway, how did we choose, you ask? Well, we decided on the color and I had settled on either a traditional crib that I've had my eye on or the Cribs 4 Life crib. The traditional crib was on a 10-week custom order for the color I wanted. That made the decision fairly easy. The hunt has moved on to a rocker/glider. I found the most perfect chair at the same place we bought the crib, but of course the patterns and fabric for the chair were a big disappointment (dare I say absolutely awful). And now I'm searching for a simple dark colored glider with cotton-candy pink fabric. You shoppers out there give me a holler if you see one!I feel shopped out. I've been searching online for every random piece of furniture we need for what seems like days. Office chairs, consoles, bookshelves, benches, sidetables. It's never ending. Don't get me wrong I love shopping online since Keith and I have been to almost every furniture store, home goods and office store from Lake Mary to Altamonte Springs and found only one item that we needed for the house. So, I've discovered Amazon furniture. Thousands of products at my fingertips. Didn't know Amazon had furniture? Check it out. Awesome deals. One problem, I bought two "antique white" benches for $49 each. When they arrived, they were what I like to call "smoker's white," a color that really resembles "yellow." At least I can take them back to JC Penney's catalog dept. easily. Always check the return policy before ordering online! But today I found an even better deal on two side tables for $16. Yes, that's right, side tables for $16. Who cares if the shipping cost almost as much as the table for that cost, right? Let's hope they are actually made out of "wood" as claimed online and not particle board!
Keith on the other hand has had an amazingly productive day painting polka-dots on the walls of Kate's room. He's been working on the project for almost 10 hours, now and it's looking pretty cute. If you don't like it, don't tell him!
And, in case you're wondering, I'm still feeling great (other than completely panicked about all of the house projects that we've yet to complete). I am still pretty tiny and liking it that way! I've noticed my hands are starting in on the "puffiness" now. Did I mention that last week? Anyone want to take bets on how much longer I'll be wearing my wedding rings?
