I was forced to take matters into my own very pregnant (or puffy) hands.

Ok, maybe I wasn't forced. Maybe I was just a little antsy.
But I am having this baby 3 weeks from today (!) and she still didn't have a place to sleep.
Here's the thing, Mike is a busy guy. He works really long hours. He just hasn't had the time to move bedrooms around.
So I did it myself. I probably shouldn't have, but I just couldn't wait any longer.
Now Oliver has his room in the basement (which he loves), and Stella has a delightful room across the hall from me.

So without further ado, here it is. . . the red crib:



I have to say that Mike did a totally excellent job painting it.
I wasn't willing to sacrifice my unborn child's brain cells to man the spray paint myself.
Thanks, honey.

  6. What kind of paint did you use that is safe for babies to chew on? Basecoat? Top laquer? I'd love to paint ours for the next one.

  8. OK, love it! That looks so great! But no more moving furniture by yourself!

  9. I'm the same way! I was carrying furniture by myself all around as I was moving bedrooms... a girls gotta do, what a girls gotta do.

    I would also like to know what paint you used, so that I can be sure to use the right paint for the baby as well.

    P.S. I made the bread AND the cookies. Probably ate one loaf by myself and many cookies. YUM. My family thanks you, my hips do not.

  12. Word. That looks amazing. If only I were a few feet shorter so *I* could sleep in it. :) That's so exciting that Miss Stella is only three weeks away!

  13. Love the red! I'd like to know paint you used, also.
    And I made the pumpkin bread yesterday. Two deliciously large loaves. Cleo's been nibbling on the bread all day. :)
