Baby Chalos' Room Update

So for the past four years, we have been window shopping and finding our favorite baby items...So when we started this adoption process, it became even more fun.  We are actually getting a baby - we have no idea when, but it is happening.  So if the PERFECT baby item comes along, we can buy it.  It serves a purpose.  HOORAY! That is exactly what happened this weekend.  We were doing the weekly Craigslist search and came across the crib. Our DREAM crib- retailing for WAY more than we could ever afford- BUT on craiglist,we got it for MUCH less than we would have paid for a crib that we didn't love SO we HAD to buy it.  We got up on 6:30 am on Saturday and headed down to Franklin to pick up this crib and it was perfect. The couple selling it were SO sweet and supportive as we told them about our journey.  They gave us a custom made conversion kit (which turns it into a toddler bed) for free.  All of that to say -

WE BOUGHT A CRIB.  SHUT UP. and here is a picture.

The blanket that is sitting in the crib is not a permanent fixture BUT we will be using it.We found it in a vintage store in San Diego California.  :)  The colors in room are going to be gray and yellow.  I have been drooling over a crib set for the past four years, but now that we can finally purchase it- we found out that it is discontinued.  :( BUT on a happy and exciting note, I have decided, with the encouragement of some of our best friends, that I am going to channel my inner seamstress and make the bumper, crib skirt, and maybe even a blanket.  Here is a picture of the AMAZING fabric that I picked out for the bedding....

The dark fabric is what we will be using to recover the rocker that has been handed down to us from Chad's parents (it used to be Chad's Grandparents)....

So that is that. A light hearted happy blog post.  Can't wait to show you our next project as we prepare for the LONG awaited day that baby Chalos comes home.
