I wanted to share some of my favorites that could work well with your theme - Oopsy Daisy prints - like the Alphabet with Kooky Birds or Jellybeen Tree, Caden Lane bedding, and wall stickers by Wallcandy (I have the Not Neutral one in Lillie's room).Christie & Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859582187560388904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-41144404194570287272009-09-21T08:16:45.708-05:002009-09-21T08:16:45.708-05:00Love the Oeuf crib...super cute and the Walmart ve...Love the Oeuf crib...super cute and the Walmart version is really close.

It looks comfy too. Yikes-having a baby opens up a whole new world of ways to kill time on the internet. Etsy alone would suck up hours!

As a couch, it feels awkward not having arms. As a bed, the mattress isn't awesome because it's folded in such a strange manner.<br /><br />If it's just going to be for a night or two, I'd say it's a great purchase to use for guests.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12278402391095589249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-69691391493965559282009-09-20T10:02:07.021-05:002009-09-20T10:02:07.021-05:00Speaking from experience on the nursery chair... W...Speaking from experience on the nursery chair... When I was pregnant with Emma I fell in love with a cute expensive rocker that "looked" far better than its comfort level. Once she was born, I discovered it was hard to nurse in and the sides and back where very uncomfortable. By the time she was 6 months, we could barely both fit in it. Major downer. So when I got pregnant with Chase I promised myself a big, fluffy, comfy rocker and wasn't so much concerned with the look. And its the best purchase I ever made! <br />So be sure that the chair is really comfortable, especially if you are thinking about nursing. <br />Love the cute etsy finds!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02140708125498071286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-82311351207596425752009-09-20T09:11:39.863-05:002009-09-20T09:11:39.863-05:00You will find what makes your heart melt!

You can do site to store shipping with them, which means shipping is free! I prefer the Walmart crib over the Ikea crib BUT I wouldn't pay $300 for a crib. We paid $150 and I think $100 sounds even better. :)<br /><br />I LOVE that glider - it's the one we have. :) If you end up ordering it, wait until Target has one of their free shipping on furniture deals and you'll save a bunch of money. When I ordered mine, it was on sale, plus an additional 15% off, plus free shipping so I got a killer deal. And I think that glider in particular would be very comfortable for both you and Nate because you are both tall and it's got a super deep seat. <br /><br />I really like the Ikea chair too, but I'm not sure I'd want a stationary chair instead of a rocker, especially since I'll be breastfeeding and be in the dang thing all the time. But that's just me!<br /><br />The rug is fab and that changing table tray is awesome. How convenient for in the middle of the night changes!<br /><br />Adorable art, but you should definitely make some of your own. And ditto on the mobile. Every mobile I found on Etsy that I liked was $50+ and I think I spent $14.00 making mine. So DIY it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-58988842273355374102009-09-20T08:39:05.664-05:002009-09-20T08:39:05.664-05:00I love the rug from Ikea.

In fact, that rocker continues to be a lifesaver. I was going to recommend IKEA for a crib, because Consumer Reports rated one of them as a "best buy". <br /><br />I do like that crib from Walmart (even if Walmart is evil) and the tray changing table that fits over the crib = genius. we have a changing table that includes a dresser to save on space. We also got a crib that converts first to a toddler bed and then to a full size bed -- more bang for the buck!<br /><br />I love all the etsy stuff -- so cute!Ryan and Max's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763260513037637985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-34635400790824959532009-09-20T08:39:03.227-05:002009-09-20T08:39:03.227-05:00I would die and go to heaven if I found the Oeuf c...I would die and go to heaven if I found the Oeuf crib on Craigslist.
