Nursery Furniture!

We have nursery furniture, people! Well, we don't actually have it, but it's ordered!

We started looking around at furniture this past week, just to start getting an idea of prices and to see what we liked. We'd already set our budget and wanted to see what we could find. Well, we found a furniture store that had a brand that got great reviews. They carry lots of different styles (and other brands). We found a set that we liked. We tried a few more furniture places but ended up not finding much else that we liked. So we went back and ordered our furniture on Saturday to take advantage of their 4th of July sale. The crib we bought is convertible, so we can change it to a toddler bed, a daybed, and a full size bed. Probably not with this kiddo, but with the next one. Anyway, in order to do all that converting you have to have conversion rails - which of course are extra. So the deal was if you bought your furniture and mattress, you got the conversion rails for free. Sold.

We bought the Mun.ire Ess.ex set in si.ena, which is a darker cherry toned stain. It's beautiful! Here's a photo, courtesy of Goo.gle Ima.ges, of exactly what we bought. Well, almost exactly. We did not buy the hutch/bookcase thing that sits on top of the dresser. But otherwise, we ordered everything just as it is in this photo:

We also ordered a Natu.rePed.ic foam mattress. Both the furniture and mattress brands got great reviews in Bab.y Bar.gains, so we're feeling really good about what we got.

So we bought that Saturday. Then, I went to Bab.ies R.Us today and ordered a chair for the nursery because they had a coupon for 20% off one piece of nursery furniture. Saving money? Yes, please. Matt and I had already scoped out their chairs and loved this one.

This comfy chair that rocks and swivels will arrive at the store in 7-14 days.

We'll eventually order the ottoman that goes with it, but since my coupon was only good on one piece of furniture I decided to wait and see if I could snag another coupon sometime in the next few months to use on the ottoman.

Next on the baby agenda: start cleaning out the room that will be the nursery; find bedding we like so we can pick paint colors!
