I Know How To Pick Em

It took me a while to find the right furniture for Brooke's room, since I had a picture of it in my head way before she was born. I knew I wanted a cream/ivory finish ... and it proved to be a challenging find. But find it I did, and soon after I ordered it I found out that the company who makes it filed for bankruptcy. This led to a LONG wait for Brooke's furniture, with it finally arriving the day before I went into labor.

The furniture looks great, and I'm lucky I found it ... because today I read that Morigeau is going out of business. It really is a shame to see a company with long-standing tradition that was producing quality baby furniture go out of business. They simply couldnt compete against the low-cost (and often low quality) furniture imported from Asia. I'm sad to see them go, but we are lucky that Brooke got to be the recipient of one of the last sets of furniture to be produced by Morigeau.
