how exciting to see things coming together. i really like the colors you've chosen -- especially the wall color.
good luck figuring out the crib. maybe i'm wrong or maybe you already know it, but from the picture it looks like one or both of the main pieces might be backward..? could that be the problem?

They are actually pointed the right way. The whole thing is made somewhat more complicated by the fact that the crib is made to convert into a toddler bed and then an actual twin bed- so there are holes that are for use later but not for the crib portion. Most of the holes line up- the main thing that is confusing is that the side pieces have dowels that correspond to the bottom of the back piece on both sides, and top and bottom to the front. There are no other holes on the backside of that main back portion that don't exist on the front (we did think to check that ;) ). So anyway... We've sort of left it for the evening... not sure exactly when we're going to get back to it, but I certainly don't want it sitting in pieces for too long (for many a reason).
