Dresser is done!!

John and I put the dresser together for the baby's room- and while it was more difficult then the crib- it was not as bad as I expected it to be. I think the directions made it seem more difficult. You definitely need two people to put it together- do not attempt alone!!

It is from JC Penney's- it is the Olivia collection changing tower- that matches our Olivia crib in Espresso.To complete the dresser we added the changing pad, which I purchased from Target, covered with an organic cotton changing pad in sage, that I got on clearance at Babies R Us (gotta love a sale!).

It is very sturdy and definitely large enough to fit everything that you need for diaper changes and a great place to store blankets, socks, and other baby clothes.
It has a separate space where I will put a lamp- below that it has a door that opens up to two shelves, great for extra diapers and tall bottles that you may not need everyday.

Overall, I think it was a great purchase- it was reasonably priced and looks very nice in our nursery. I would definitely suggest JC Penney for their baby furniture. It is a little scary ordering furniture sight unseen, since there is no where to see their baby furniture- but we are very pleased with both pieces, they arrived well packaged and damage free. Definitely no regrets!

We have a crib in our house!

As of Friday we are officially approved for our adoption license. Let the waiting begin! To top off our great news weekend our crib and dresser came in and was ready to be picked up. We had ordered our nursery set from JCPenney online- and we had it shipped to the store.

We had a great friend of ours who has a truck come with us to pick it up. Two JCPenney employee's rolled out the furniture out to our car and loaded it up for us.

After we unpacked everything from the boxes- which was very nicely packed- we found no damage to anything. The directions were really easy to understand. From start to finish it took us about 30 minutes to put the crib together.

It looks so nice in the nursery, it's so exciting! We got the Olivia crib and matching changing tower in Espresso. It is really sturdy and the color is just beautiful! It definitely is a dark chocolate brown color, which matches perfectly with our house. Our crib mattress also fits just great. I LOVE it!!

Tomorrow we tackle the dresser- I will keep you posted!!
