When Chad and I ordered baby H's furniture we were told it would take 6-12 weeks for it to arrive. Two weeks later, we got the call that it was already in!!! We were in no way ready to pick up the furniture at that point. We still needed to have the chair rail installed and get the room painted. The store we got the furniture from said we could wait up to 90 days to pick it up which was great, but we knew we had to get the room done before we leave for NJ on December 23rd since neither Chad nor myself will be in Michigan in January. Chad will be traveling for 4 weeks straight for work and I will be hanging in NJ while he is away. The only free weekend we had in December was this past weekend. So after all our family left Michigan, I was fully dedicated to painting the nursery before we picked up the furniture.
It took me 5 days and eight trips to Home Depot, but I finally finished the room at 9am on Saturday morning.... one hour before we left to pick up the furniture!! Chad and I decided to go with pink and brown as the color scheme. Under the chair rail I painted pink, brown and white stripes. Above the chair rail I painted a slightly lighter shade of pink.
My tape job for the stripes.
The finished product!
Chad and I were so lucky that our friends John and Rachel offered to let us use their truck to pick up the baby furniture. The four of us set out at 10 am on Saturday for the 2 and a half hour drive to Grand Rapids. We had to take both of our cars to make sure all of the pieces fit and oh my did they fit perfectly in John and Rachel's truck. We honestly could not have planned it better. They were able to fit the crib, hutch and dresser in their truck and we took the nightstand and conversion kit in our SUV.
Once we arrived back home our friends Adam and Kate were so kind to help Chad with getting all the furniture upstairs and unpacked. All the pieces were already together except for the crib which Chad and I assembled together. Everything fit and looks perfect in our little girls room! The only thing left to do it to decorate the walls, find window treatments, and fill her shelves with diapers, books and stuffed animals:O)
