Also, it might not look so bad when the room isn't empty anymore.<BR/><BR/>And the crib will look better dressed, as well. I actually like the sleigh-bed shape of it.Jenny-Fairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07406804998226262581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21528753.post-27145944024824354182008-10-20T14:13:00.000-05:002008-10-20T14:13:00.000-05:00I vote re-finish the crib with all that free time ...I vote re-finish the crib with all that free time you've got *wink*<BR/><BR/>I'm joking, Crystal.

You just want the best for the Dustin Jr. or L'il Crystal!<BR/><BR/>You are so talented that I KNOW you can repaint that room if you want to. Tape off the ceiling and the trim and paint. I do it all the time. In fact, once you do it, you will never want to pay a painter again. Then put that crib back on Craigslist and get one that you like. It doesn't have to be expensive, just safe. You're right, the baby won't care, but you do and that's equally important.The Rock Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653277401124290907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21528753.post-56324299540359415722008-10-20T09:06:00.000-05:002008-10-20T09:06:00.000-05:00((Crystal)) You are going to be a great mom!

And far as the pink walls goes...you can always re-paint them or just find ways to make room look betterJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13909374462324135288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21528753.post-30949227839501531422008-10-20T08:44:00.000-05:002008-10-20T08:44:00.000-05:00We bought nursery furniture that I ended up not li...We bought nursery furniture that I ended up not liking the crib too. We kept it and it was fine and now I don't think about it too much. <BR/><BR/>Your decorating doesn't have anything to do with what kind of mother you will be. And recognizing now that you might do some things you will regret later may help you. Because I do something every day that I could regret, but you just having to forgive yourself and keep on going.heidi @ ggiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05245994200237421760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21528753.post-22330238626613470682008-10-20T03:50:00.000-05:002008-10-20T03:50:00.000-05:00Oh ((((Crystal)))), if I lived closer I'd come ove...Oh ((((Crystal)))), if I lived closer I'd come over and re-paint the nursery for you. Really. I just finished the kids room in September (orange and green, they picked the colors) so I'm a painting machine lately.<BR/><BR/>You'll be a great mom, and you know what?
