Look What We Bought :)

We didn't know that we would get it this soon, but here it is!!


Our nursery furniture!!! The finish looks lighter in the pictures. In person it was a tad bit darker with a little bit of distressing....absolutely perfect! We didn't get all of these pieces.... only the crib and the "combo" which is the shorter dresser on the left (we got it without the hutch on top of it). The crib becomes a full size bed when we are done with it.... hopefully 3 kids from now :) Here is what it looks like as a bed.....
We found out that the store that sells this brand in Houston was having a sale this weekend and so we decided to go and ended up buying it for cheaper! We had read that this company could take up to 3 months to ship new pieces in so we didn't think it was TOOOOOOOO much overkill. Well, as it turned out, the store had it in stock so it is tagged for us just waiting to be picked up :) We're hoping to swap out the furniture in that room 2 Saturdays from now as long as my Dad ends up in town that weekend (although this may or may not be the first he's heard of it. Thanks in advance for helping Dad! :) I will send pictures as the nursery starts to come together. By two weeks from now I'll be awfully close to being able to put a name on the wall too!

who knew a crib could be so versatile?! clearly, i am not "up" on the latest and greatest advances in baby nursery outfitting. i love the practicality of the items you selected.

Thanks guys!
Em- I only heard about convertible cribs last year from a coworker with a baby. When I went shopping I realized that 95% of cribs now are convertible.

Erin- We bought it at USA Baby (because of the sale) but also found it at Baby's 1st furniture after spotting it online. Both stores carry companies that are more upscale than what you find at Babies R Us or Target, but not so upscale that they are too expensive.

My main tip? Get the Baby Bargains book I mentioned before. I tells you brands and items to stay away from and gives a letter ranking (with a detailed explination as to why) to every crib maker out there. Not to mention strollers, car seats, linens and the other billion things it reviews :)
