On Sunday, the Hubs and I went into full baby furniture mode. We had already found the crib a couple weeks ago, but after looking at Peanut's room, we came to the conclusion that the enormous 64" long dresser that I previously purchased was just not going to work. With the help of the Hub's BFF, D (of D & G), we took back the dresser and started our hunt. We went to the furniture Mecca, otherwise known as Southcenter (which I absolutely despise) and began our hunt. After about 3 hours, we realized that getting what we wanted for a bargain was not going to happen, so we went back to old faithful (Merry-Go-Round Children's store) and got exactly what we were looking for:
The Crib--Pali Designs, Salerno Crib:
The Dresser/Changer--Million Dollar Baby, Annabelle. Look how proud the Hubs is that we *finally* found one we like!
One of the cool things about this dresser is it comes with a top, so it can look like a traditional changer like the picture below, but when you no longer need the changer, the top converts to a nightstand (comes with attachable legs):
And finally, The Glider--Best Chairs Storytime Series, Patoka w/Ottoman in Taupe. We really wanted a chair that didn't look like the typical wood glider and so we got this (the ottoman glides too, so comfy!):
The great thing about all of the furniture we got was even though it cost an arm and a leg, the crib converts to a toddler bed and a full bed and the dresser s/he can use for life and the chair can nicely go in a rec room or den. Next project: painting the room!

So cute!! Who knew your hubs could look so excited about furniture. Perhaps he hasn't thought about all of the assembly that needs to happen next. :) --Sister C
ReplyDeleteWow, when I see all this really nice furniture, I can't help but think that you must look back to your early days and think of how deprived you were :)

Haha Dad! I know the baby doesn't care what kind of furniture we have, but the chair was purchased out of sheer selfishness...thinking about all of those late night feedings and wanting to my comfortable. :)
