We had a busy Saturday, highlighted by our purchase of this one of a kind* used white crib for $40 on Craig's List. It needed a paint job and it's missing a screw, but that's okay because Lorein loves a project. She was so happy yesterday painting away. It was cute. No matter how cute it is, though, it doesn't overcome the weird factor of walking into the extra bedroom and seeing a crib. A crib?! Lorein also got some weird pillow thing called a "boppy" on Craig's List for $5. All of her internet scouring finally paid off.
And here it is with the side down!
* one of a kind: it's branded as a Lea crib, but Lorein can't find any Lea cribs anywhere on the internet. So, either it's super-old, a top-secret prototype, or a knock-off produced by some criminal gang who saw all their plans thwarted by the fact that Lea doesn't make cribs. I prefer the middle option.

How exciting! Baby stuff everywhere! It is amazing how quickly the next 3 months will go by...and you will have a baby! It seems so far and yet it is just around the corner :)
Baby stuff! Whoo Hoo! I love the crib! Any plans for what "theme" the baby's room will take on? Or, if there is no separate room for the baby, what types of things would you and Lorein like to "dress" the baby in...meaning, does Lorein like Disney characters or anything of the sort?!
It looks way nice! I am so impressed that you painted the crib.
Wren, it looks great, and the price was super. Very nice!
its definitely a secret prototype...i mean look at the wheels, and the wood....oh yeah!
40$ is such a score! Way to go Wren!
Thanks everyone! It's so true, I can't believe how fast time is flying by. I'm not sure on the theme for baby's room yet, and I like just about all baby clothes. I figure he won't be too picky...for a little while at least=)
Your kid is going to be sleeping in high style. It looks really nice.
We got a crib from Clint's mom that he and his siblings used. It too needed a good paint job, and we scored some free paint left at our apartment. Sadly, the new paint job got banged up a little during the move. I figure I'll wait until we move again before I touch it up.
