Storkcraft Hoop Glider and Ottoman

With our paint color, furniture, and bedding picked out, I started searching for a glider. I had completely forgot about needing a place to sit with our little girl! I found the Storkcraft Hoop Glider and Ottoman for $180. They have it in many colors and finishes. But I like the white finish, to match the furniture we picked out. And the green, it picks up the details in the bedding we choose.

Sweet Peach

Well, we finally decided on a wall color! My hubby wanted yellow. But I just don't like yellow. I think it's a little harsh. Not very inviting. I don't know, I've just never liked the color. Not even Dancing Butterfly. It's the color on the bottom row, center. I liked the idea of a pale pink or green. But I couldn't find anything that would go with our bedding. It was so frustrating!

We took I don't know how many trips to Home Depot. And when we met at Home Dept yesterday, my hubby suggested an orange color. That's when I found Sweet Peach. It's on the top row, 2nd from the right. We both liked it. And it will bring out the details in the bedding we picked out. Sweet Peach was bought, and right now my hubby is painting the nursery.

I'm supposed to be getting together an address list of our friends. My mom and mother in law asked for it. They're planning our baby shower. :)

Tiger Lily Bedding

This is the bedding that we choose. It's the Tiger Lily Collection. I really like that it's bright. And is not just pink. But has other fun colors in it, like green, peach, and yellow. And it's not too "babyish" and can grow with our little girl. That's important!

The 6 piece set includes the quilt, bumper, dust ruffle, a fitted sheet, a diaper stacker, and 1 valance. All so fun and cheerful for $125. Not too bad.

There are some other items that we want to get. Like the mobile ($34), art ($22), and a lamp($34.) We also need a hamper ($25.) Oh and we can't forget about the curtains. We need another valance ($19) and 2 sets of sheers ($39.) We probably want to get a few extra sheets ($11) and a blanket or 2 ($13.) That's just under $400 for all of that!

As our little girl grows, there are bedding pieces to match this set. Like pillow shames, and extra decorative pillows. You can even buy buckets and baskets to match. :) So just like our crib will grow with her, we can add a few pieces to make this set last longer!

Da Vinci Kalani Convertible Crib

Both my mom and my mother in law were curious about how a crib can be convertible. So this is the set that my hubby and I have decided to buy. And here is the crib in all it's glory!



This is the crib, functioning as a regular baby's crib. No drop down sides. That was important to me.



When our little grow girls a little and is ready for a "big girl" bed, we can lower the mattress and turn the crib into a toddler bed. With the little railing.



Then as our little girl grows, we can turn the toddler bed into a daybed. I think this is a great deal!



Then one day, when we're done having kids and they're bigger, we can turn the bed into a full sized bed.

I think this is a really good deal. Right now we can get the crib for $250. We still have to buy a mattress. But to know that we can use this for years, I think we're making a good decision. And after reading tons of reviews and talking to Lola, I know that this crib is going to be safe for many years to come!

DaVinci Kalani Collection

I never found the matching pieces to the crib we liked. I looked everywhere! All I could find was the crib. I was a little sad. And in a bit of a panic today. Our baby girl is going to be here in just over 3 months. And it's ridiculous how we don't have anything substantial in the nursery.

So I decided to do some online shopping today. Or at least, some looking. Because in the town where we live, the only stores that sell baby furniture are Target and Wal-Mart. We have to drive about an hour to the nearest large city.

But I found the DaVinci Kalani Collection. And I'm in love! There is something sweet and gender neutral about this set. The crib is a convertible crib, and it can grow with our little one. :)



Here is the DaVinci Kalani Collection. This is the crib($250), with the 3 drawer changing table ($280)on the left and the 4 drawer dresser ($340) on the right.



This is the matching combo dresser ($450.) It has 3 large drawers and some shelves behind the door. I really like this too!

This set, with a mattress is a little less than $1500. You get free shipping on all the pieces. And honestly, I think this is what we're going with. I sent my hubby an email of this set, and he likes it too. All I have to say is, it's a good thing we've been saving money. I never realized how expensive baby furniture is!
