Well, we did it! We ordered our nursery furniture yesterday. After all the shopping and trying to compromise on a style for the room, we walked into a wonderful store around the corner from our house to look at a glider and found nursery furniture we both like. The good news is that it should arrive in 4-6 weeks - just in time to set up the room! So without further prolonging the suspense, here it is...
Our Crib:
With the toddler bed conversion kit:
Our Combo Dresser/Changing Table:
The first set of bedding (we both liked the style and the colors, which are both feminine and contemporary):
The whole reason we went to the store in the first place was to look at this rocker/glider (which we ordered, with the ottoman) in brown:
We also broke down and ordered a bassinet. We weren't going to buy one because we weren't excited about anything we saw. But this one is perfect for us. It is exactly the right height for the bedroom. Also, we both like that it's features are minimalist and that the bedding portion is soft and well padded. It is also removable so that we can move it easily from room to room with us. Also the bedding fits nicely into the crib, which will help baby get used to the crib when we move her out of our room:
