Bed Building

I fell in LOVE with this baby bed. It's dainty and simple and perfect. And her very excited grandparents felt she needed it to. ;) 

Side Story - 10:15 pm the doorbell rings and my Beloved and I look at each other. I have an overactive imagination and I've seen too many seasons of Criminal Minds so I'm convinced it's a serial killer. My rational Beloved looks through the peep hole and says "it's a baby bed." He then goes on to say that he'd like to be upset with the FedEx driver for dropping it off so late but if he's still delivering things at 10 pm - he's had a much rougher day than we have. :) 

Another Side Story - the bed arrives during a week our AC was going out and it was HOT so we had no energy to build the bed in the heat. We had to endure a large box (which totally freaked the dog out) for several days thinking we'd build it as soon as the AC was replaced. But by Saturday at 8 am with the AC being replaced - we couldn't wait any longer and we built her bed in the heat and enjoyed every minute. 

Yay! FINALLY!! 

Daniel's aunt encouraged us to read all of the directions. Daniel doesn't need to be told this - he likes directions. He pulls out the sheet and starts with "congratulations on your recent purchase..." and I sighed and snapped a picture. ;) I'd have skipped to the picture part of the directions. It's a good thing Alice has a very patient dad who insists on knowing all the information before he gets started. 

Keep in mind - we had no AC and it's 8 am so I look a hot mess and I don't care. I didn't actually use these items - I assisted by supporting the sides while my Beloved did all the work.

 Progress!!! It turns out that building a baby bed isn't as complicated as we thought. 

ALL DONE!! 

And it's perfect!
