So precious!!

Let me first say that of all the big nursery pieces we had to pick out and buy, the glider seemed a no-brainer... wrong. Gliders are ridiculously expensive and finding one that had every feature we wanted (that we wouldn't still be paying off when Crumb got to college) was proving to be impossible. We had finally decided to forget the glider and just get a nice rocking chair from Cracker Barrel or something. Fine, done ::lots and lots of pouting::
Enter WonderMom: "Cat, there is a glider going up at the auction this weekend - it's white with yellow and green fabric that we could cover and it doesn't have an ottoman... but do you want to take a look at it?"
Cat: "Well, we wanted one that was espresso color with an ottoman and we've really just decided to get a rocker... but thanks so much... perhaps I'll go with you to the auction just for fun."
2 days and 1 auction later - I am now the proud owner of a beautiful, white Dutailier glider with not so bad yellow and green fabric... all for the ridiculous price of...... ::drumroll please:: $35!! Yes, that is correct, $35 for a glider that normally sells for at least $400. As for the fact that it's white and the fabric isn't a total match and lack of ottoman I would say... white is the new espresso, what fabric and who needs an ottoman?? WonderMom is going to make new covers for the cushions, the white wood actually fits in the room quite nicely, and I've found that a regular stool works just peachy! SCORE!!
Thanks, Mom!! You rock (once again).
Wyatt and I were so excited to get it in the room - he even put in some "practice" time... probably the cutest thing he's done so far (well, at least this weekend - he's pretty precious)... I can't wait for it to be a baby rather than a teddy bear!
