I have to admit, with both our families out of town, I am grateful we moved when we did and have more space to house all the family when Baby W arrives! Having a "nursery nook" off the master will be very convenient, as well.
With planning the nursery, I really wanted all the investment pieces to remain neutral should we have both a boy and a girl, and if that ends up being the case, changing out smaller items like bedding and pillows.
Get ready for online shopping overload:
Crib:
 |
| After poring through online stores, this was definitely the most affordable, attractive-looking, and several of my friends swear by it. I do not plan on using the wheels. They look like part of an office chair. |
Mobile:
 |
| This was the first item I ordered for the nursery, and I was pleasantly surprised by the price point from Restoration Hardware. These exact mobiles were twice as much on Etsy and shipped from overseas. I love that the mobile is gender-neutral, simple, and has sweet bunnies for a boy or girl in the future. |
Changing Table:
 |
| This piece from Restoration Hardware was definitely more than I had planned to spend, but the sad truth is, everything else on the market seemed like plastic, cheap, wobbly furniture. Since I was SO good with the other items, I took the plunge. I was torn between the heirloom white and warm grey, but ended up going with white. It was actually less expensive and will be a classic addition for years to come. I even think using this on the patio for outdoor entertaining in the future will be useful. |
Mirror:
 |
| I absolutely adore a French Louis Phillipe-style mirror, but some of these are costly. Tried and true Ballard Designs came through for me at a fraction of the cost. |
Glider:
 |
| I had originally planned to purchase a less expensive glider, but I decided having micro fiber material may not be comfortable in the dead of summer. We chose to bite the bullet on this Pottery Barn, 100% cotton glider. I know it's on the top end price-point wise, but even K agreed to pay a bit more for quality materials. |
Foot stool:
 |
| This beautiful foot stool was my inspiration from RH. I was able to re-create the look by finding a similar french footstool at a local antique store and plan on having it recovered for a fraction of the price. Stay tuned for the before and after. |
Bassinet:
 |
| This was another long-awaited find. Bassinets can run up to thousands of dollars and you'll only get a few years' use out of them until you pass them down to your kids. As with all the major items in the nursery, I wanted the ability to re-purpose this, and the ivory seemed suitable for a boy or girl. |
Chippendale Whatnot Shelf:
 |
| These small Chippendale shelves can run you some big bucks but I scored a great deal off Etsy and knew I had to move quickly for its price point. I can't wait to place little trinkets and cups on the shelves. |
Chandeliers: |
| I like this chandelier for a boy or girl because it's not as frilly. My husband refuses to have chandeliers but I will ask for forgiveness later. |
 |
| If we end up with a little girl, I think these are really cute and I like them for even later on when the room reverts back to an extra closet/dressing room. |
Giraffe Rocker:
 |
| This was the second item I bought for the nursery from My Habit. I love that throws in some color to the white and neutral palette of the room. |
Storage Baskets:
Animal Prints:
 |
| Aren't these animal prints precious? Plan is to frame them each in gold frames at the flea market and hang above the crib. |
 |
| I originally saw these ticking baskets on Wayfair and then Joss and Main (owned by Wayfair) ran an incredible sale on them with free shipping, as well! I originally was going to wait to get them in blue or pink, but I find the yellow different and more versatile. If we plan to use them elsewhere in the house, they are neutral enough and don't scream a baby's nursery. |
High Chair:
 |
| One of my favorite clothing stores also has a home line, and I fell in LOVE with this high chair from Zara! |
I still need to find a rug (probably from Eatmans) and change out the heinous drapes that are in there now.
