Pimp My Crib

We got the crib! 

As in the baby crib.. not a house since we obviously already have one of those. Ever since we bought the crib I keep thinking of the two old MTV shows: MTV Cribs and Pimp My Ride: and my mind is combining them.. I'm weird. 

Anyway, I fell in love with the Pottery Barn Larkin Sleigh Crib (naturally)...

but personally would never be okay with spending $1100 on a crib... that's just not how I roll... more like $110 but would make it look like it was $1100, if you know what I mean. 

I was trying to explain to Chad how I would probably look for nursery furniture on craigslist and hope we get lucky and maybe fix it up. He didn't understand how we would do such a thing or why people would put nursery furniture on craigslist. I then had to explain how most of it is gently used, or how some people tragically never get to bring home their baby, or adoptions fall through. 

Well later that evening we happened to be watching the episode of Parenthood on Netflix where *spoiler alert* Julia and Joel thought they would be adopting a baby boy and had the whole nursery set up and ready to go. Sure enough after the birth mom held her baby she changed her mind. I turned to Chad and said, "See!!! All of that nice freaking nursery furniture is about to go on craigslist!" He told me to open up my laptop check for it lol. 

So for fun I typed in Pottery Barn Nursery and wouldn't you know it there was our crib... used but in excellent condition aside from one small scratch on it for $475. Oh there's a scratch on it? No worries, I'll take that scratch off of your hands. I talked them down to $425 and picked it up Monday! It even comes with the toddler conversion kit which is normally an extra $100. Holla!
