Ok HAALP. Is this crib weird with this dresser? Sorry I can't find a stand some pic of my dresser. I feel like the crib should have a rounded top since the dresser front is curved?? Kohls has 15-40% off of select cribs: Graco and Fisher Price and a few more and then you get a free crib mattress. I saw this through ebates. alwayscheese is your post supposed to have pictures? Lol totally forgot to add them! 🙄 will do

alwayscheese i think they’ll look great together. The top of the dresser doesn’t seem curvy so they look very complimentary without being too matchy. Once we move DD to her big girl room (hopefully getting painted this weekend!!) we’ll put the crib back together and hang stuff in the nursery. I need to figure out what i want to do differently so it’s not exactly the same as DD’s. I think I’ll be adding more colors with pillows and framed prints. It’s mostly just grey and white with some red accents right now.

alwayscheese I think they look good together! They don't have to match perfectly. I love that light fixture, too!

This is more in our budget: Pauwer Metal Pendant Light Cage Industrial Vintage Edison Hanging Lamp Geometric Cage Pendant Light Shade (Black) www.amazon.com/dp/B072N2Z2SZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_HZFiAbA54RXZ3 looks like the cage is black, but I'm handy with spray paint. Already made the dresser handles brassy.

I need help with wall color! We're doing a baseball theme for the nursery so red, navy, white for the most part in the decor. I did buy a crib sheet that is gray with baseballs. The crib and dresser will be white. We were going to paint the walls gray but the carpet is a light brown so will that look weird or am I thinking too much?

Our main living areas are Behr’s Wheat Bread & I have a lot of white (moldings, mantle) with grey upholstered furniture & it looks nice. ETA: all my pictures make it look more beige than grey, but there’s definitely grey to it, too, honest!

tinyjoys my husband mentioned maybe doing a tan or beige color but i never thought of greige. Maybe I should go look at the paint store for something like that.

kayladawn91, also, if you’re doing more of a vintagey baseball theme, it would definitely go.

kayladawn91, also, if you’re doing more of a vintagey baseball theme, it would definitely go. We have a mix of vintage and more "cutesy" stuff going on. Here's a few things we bought so far. Browns and grays which is why I was struggling with wall color. And that's the carpet color as well in the one photo.

@kayladawn I agree with tinyjoys. I think griege paint with your carpet would look good. And if it’s an in between beige and gray, I think you could definitely do a mix of gray and vintagey decor.

So A3's big girl bed was delivered, and so was A4s crib. Goal is to set up the big girl bed this weekend and the crib this weekend so we can get an idea of how large of a dresser we can get for A4 (baby lol). We ordered everything from Wayfair. A3 is keeping her headboard from her crib, and we are attaching a platform base to it, and adding a foam mattress to it. I'm hoping that this will get her back in her own bed as she's gotten used to sleeping with us (thanks DH).
Big girl bedding was ordered from Pottery Barn, so hopefully that comes this week, too.

We painted furniture this weekend! Excited to finally be making some progress! Hopefully by Wednesday the dressers will be 100% done and in the room.
Right now it is a giant mess with stuff all over the floor in various piles. Haha.

So these are not 100% done... Handles need attached and I see some areas that need touched up but I am so excited!! The little table matches the comforter I bought for the twin bed that is in the room. I am very much not a pink person but I do love the comforter and I looked at SO MANY floral comforters. I will try to accent more with the teal and add in some lilac as opposed to doing pink anywhere else in the room. Also DH made the changing table topper. He is amazing 😍😍

nuggetrn that's awesome!! Does YH have plans for that topper? I could totally get DH to do something similar. He also thinks he's gong to build the crib. 🤔

nuggetrn I can't wait to see the entire room! I love love love the topper! AFM: I took her bedding out of the packages last night to wash today and OMG I'm going to have to steal it. The duvet cover is probably the softest cotton I've ever felt in my entire life.

He basically looked at some online and then put it together. They are really pretty simple. Then he fancied it up with the different heights. He just did a lot of sanding. He was also very worried about making any edges the baby might touch very smooth. It was cute. The one thing he kind of forgot to take into consideration was using the actual changing pad measurements for creating the hole for it. He got really really lucky that he made it an ok size for it to fit. So make sure your husband realizes that! Haha. He felt silly. Lol to making the crib. As much confidence as I have in their abilities I am sure... Just no. Let's focus our efforts on some other things.

Now that we know we're having another girl, I am really excited to work on the girls' room. I love my daughter, A's room currently, so we'll be kind of mimicking it again in the girls' new, larger shared room. We plan on painting the walls a lighter gray that what she has currently and we're fairly sure won't be doing wood flooring, but I haven't decided on a carpet color. A will be moving into a big girl bed and we bought a new (to us) crib from H's coworker. It's white, which I'm happy about, and we'll be reusing A's ruffle cribskirt while getting her another for her twin sized big girl bed. We'll do another navy blue painted dresser and I may update the pulls on A's so they all match, or I may just find similar, but different ones, for the other dresser. I'm deciding between doing the longer dresser like she has pictured above or doing the taller one of the set. Once we fully decide on a name, I'll place an order for another pennant banner from the same Etsy shop that made A's. I'm sure more will fall together, but we aren't doing much in there until after the holidays. The current plan is to get it painted and carpeted, then move A in there in January/February and then slowly work on getting the baby's things slowly moved in. It will hopefully be done around the time she makes her arrival.

We went to get a dresser for DD that was on sale at IKEA and they sold out in minutes right when the store opened 😑 We ended up just getting more storage cubes for her and we’ll just put her changing pad on top of that until she PTs.

katietopaz I was just browsing this thread because I need to get a little more serious with nursery prep. Can you tell me where you got the fox print you posted? I love it! I’m also pretty sure I asked you this same thing back on our BMB when we’re preparing for our M15 babies.

We converted Adrianna's crib to her big girl bed this weekend, set up the new crib, moved around some stuff, and need to figure out a dresser for the newbie. I also need to take down the animal decals off of one wall, and replace the valances.
Other than that, it's looking really good. Kind of hard to believe that a newbie will be in that crib soon.

I’m also pretty sure I asked you this same thing back on our BMB when we’re preparing for our M15 babies. I had to dig back to The Bump to find the artist's name because I keep forgetting to check the print in DS's room while he's awake, haha. I got the print at an art gallery in Downtown Disney, but you can order it online too - it's by the artist Jackie Huang, and the print is "Somewhere Out There" jackiehuang.storenvy.com/products/16798152-somewhere-out-there-fox-printI've thought about getting the 3D version because it's stunning, but a bit $$ for me.

Now I'm spiraling on Jackie Huang's art and I'm thinking of feeding my nesting urge by getting another print to put in the room the boys will be sharing, in honor of the new baby. Something that goes well with the fox print, but isn't necessarily foxes. I'm loving this one: And this one doesn't match, exactly, but would still be fun:
