Crib and Glider are in!

We originally were looking at the Graco Ashleigh convertible crib (non-drop side) in cherry. Saturday when we looked on Amazon it was on sale for $127! So we decided to buy it today, since Tito had to go to work to get his code for his Amazon coupon since it was in his work email. Well when I logged on, it wasn't on sale anymore and was back up to original price of $199. Still a good deal, but we were in love with it more when it was cheaper! I looked at other Graco cribs and they had the Sarah non drop sided crib with slatted ends, not solid ends. I liked it but wasn't in love with it. So I looked around some more and ended up finding this crib:


Stork Craft Tuscany in Espresso

Loved this style from the beginning. Converts to a toddler bed, day bed and eventually a double bed (although we're not sure we'll use that option.) On sale for $140...looked around a lot online and found it for $250 and up. Read the reviews and it got 5 and 6 stars everywhere. It's not cherry like Tito wanted, but espresso. Similar enough in my mind, and I preferred this color anyway first. Definitely good for a boy but also would be good for any possible future girls.


Also got this glider/rocker and ottoman in espresso/beige:


Storkcraft Tuscany Glider in Beige/Espresso

We'd tried it out in Babies R Us and liked it a lot. Wide enough in the seat, and had the important cushions on the arms (in my opinion). The best part was the free shipping from our Amazon Prime account! Both arrived within days, and days ahead of scheduled delivery!

The room is a blank slate right now, waiting for some furniture to fill it! Next up is a dresser and a small, two level shelf for books and toys.
