Picking out paint colors!
On Saturday Andrew and I went out to try and find a dresser for Everett's room and to look at paint colors. I have looked all over the place for a dresser on the Internet including craigslist.org and have had no luck! Either I was going to have to buy a dresser that was cheep and refinish it (or should I say Andrew refinish it) or buy a dresser that is $400 and still have to refinish it! I was starting to get a little frustrated. So we decided to try our luck at the stores in Macon. We went to Rooms to go found nothing there, then we went to Burlington Coat Factory (we had heard from someone that they had a lot of furniture) we found some nice pieces but again they were $400 and we were going to have to refinish it, finally we went to a place called the Macon Transfer Company. The Macon Transfer Company apparently started many years ago when trains would drop off their unneeded items there and so they began selling it. This place was super cool! They had anything from antiques to toys to regular furniture and at a great price! Andrew and I looked around and finally ran across the dresser! The colors are not exact but they are really close, the dresser looks really nice, and it was only $200!!! I may put new knobs on but I haven't decided yet. Here is a picture After we were done we went to Lowes to look at paint colors. We found a bunch of different yellows that may work so I took home some samples to compare to the wall decorations we have to pick out the perfect one. I asked some opinions from others about which one they liked more and we eventually wound up choosing "pecan cream" Everett has been kicking a lot this week. I try to bother him to make him do it when I want but he seems to be a little stubborn and will only do it every once in awhile. Andrew hasn't felt him move yet but I am hoping it will not be much longer. I know he can't wait! The other night he was kicking so hard I thought he was going to hit a nerve or something! Our twenty week appointment is on Friday! I cannot wait cause that means I get to see my little boy again and see how much he has grown! I will let you know how it goes. I realized I haven't posted a belly pick in awhile so here is a new one for you! I am definitely starting to get a bit of a bump!
Andrew and I have been together for 8 years and been married for a year and a half. We just had a little boy named Everett on November 18, 2009. We are so happy to finally be parents! We look forward to where this journey takes us and hope this blog helps everyone stay up to date with what is going on in our lives!
