Baby-Bean is going to be such a Little Princess!

My mom and I went out shopping today. Such a nice day (great to get a good visit in...and great to do it while buying fun baby stuff!). Poor Grannie didn't get to feel Baby-Bean move, and as I write this, she's finally up again, and kicking up a storm! Sorry Grannie, you'll get your shot someday soon!

Anyways, back to the shopping.

We ordered Baby-Bean's crib and change table today. SO CUTE!!! I was totally into the espresso coloured dark wood...but Grannie and Prof-Man have talked me into the girlie white! I'm shocked...but I absolutely adore it! I'm totally buying into this girlie-stuff thing...it's so much fun! There's a distinct possibility that I'm going to take it overboard though (once I set my mind to something, there's no stopping me!).

Back to the crib...here's a pic. Note the adorable crystal knobs on the drawers (the drawers under the crib was an add on...but totally worth it). The crib is a gift from Grannie and Grandpa.



It's a convertible crib -- first into a toddler bed...then into a double bed later. We actually got the full conversion kit for free today (well...I wouldn't say it was "free"...it was included because we spent a silly amount of money on the crib, drawers and change table!). But it was technically "free"...so that's always nice! I love that this will be Baby-Bean's furniture into the foreseeable future. She may end up painting it etc., but it's neat to think that this will last through her teenage years (must stop thinking that far ahead...time needs to slow down, not speed up!).

Anyways, here's the change table.



I think the colour in both of these pictures is actually the "linen" colour. We decided to go with the "white"...mostly because Prof-Man informed me that our little girl will probably prefer white (off white is an adult colour in his opinion). I liked that he had an opinion on the matter, so we went with the white! (I should note that I actually prefer the white for a totally different reason: it goes with our base boards etc. I'm too "matchy matchy" to handle having white and off-white in the same room (that's a decorating no-no in my world).

Needless to say, I'm super excited about the new furniture. I think it's going to be gorgeous. One more picture...here's the sample nursery with all of the furniture together (we're probably going to ultimately get the shelf piece...but decided that it might be a little much right now...want to get the pieces in there before we decide whether to add more furniture).



So, now the important question is this: What colour should the nursery be!?

One of the sets I've been looking at is a ladybug set that has a sage-mint green accent...might do the walls in that colour. But I also think that purple/violet would look really cute with the white furniture!? I'm really not sure. Any thoughts!? I have to decide soon...because Prof-Man has offered to sand down (one of the walls has some weird lines on it from the last paint job we did) and re-paint the walls...but he won't do so until we choose a colour! Need to take advantage while the offer is still open! :)
