An exciting addition to the nursery arrived this week! I was on the hunt for a dark blue dresser after seeing an inspiration board on one of the baby websites awhile back. Then, my in-laws graciously offered to buy us one and the hunt began.
My criteria for the nursery dresser was that it not be specifically a changing table, that it have the capability to grow with our son, and finally that it be well made so that it would last for a long time. I'm envisioning him using this dresser well into his adult years. Hey, a girl can hope right?!?
This is the Camp Dresser from Pottery Barn Kids. It is sturdy, extremely well made, and I love the color! Since most everything else in our house is neutral (or as my sister says, "blah") I wanted something that would pop a little bit in the baby's room. We saved some money when the PBKids sales lady dismissed the changing pad wood holder and gave us a tip that attaching velcro straps to the underside of our changing pad would affix it firmly to the top of the dresser just fine. Awesome. Thank you sales lady.
We are trying not to go overboard with the baby stuff. I know of people who had one, sometimes two or three of everything for their kids and their homes just become crazy baby messes. So Blane and I decided that we're only making three "bigger purchases." Each of these purchases must be useful past the baby stage, save for the crib which we got for a steal so I was okay with that. Two of our three largest purchases are now officially here and I'm getting excited to finish this room up. Crib-check, Dresser-check...still awaiting the third but I'll keep you posted on that one. :)
25 weeks and counting!
