We have finally picked out some furniture for the nursery and while we wait for the weekend (and working on the nursery) I thought I would post the furniture and layout we’re pretty much settled on…
This is the crib we finally settled on: Child Craft Logan Traditional – in Jamocha.
Problem is that the Jamocha dressers that match (and look nice) don’t get good reviews (prices are good) – but seem to be made of particle board instead of wood. So I decided to shop around and started by looking for a queen size bed we like since this room has a queen bed as well.
For the bed I really wanted something with a wood frame but no footboard (a low profile so you can sit at the end of the bed – since it takes up most of the room). Finally I found a set I really like – and again – Ryan also liked it! These are actually from Jordon’s – we’ll have to go over to the store and make sure we like them in person before we finalize but I’m happy so far!

tall dresser $259 : http://jordans.com/Chests/BC2Z80640.aspx
low dresser/changing table $299: http://jordans.com/Dressers/BC0Z80640.aspx
Prices are not bad either, if the quality is good – we’ll see. So then I had to figure out if we could fit it all in the nursery so I measured the nursery details and used Jordon’s room planner to see how it would work… and it fits!
Nursery design
The only issue with this is that the changing table/dresser is behind the door to the room (the other door is for the closet). So we may swap the two dressers, putting the longer one over by the windows at least until the little one is big enough that we aren’t using a dresser for changing her.
Even the chair/ottoman fit – that’s great. And I can see from this that an 8×10 rug will fit just fine (we just have to find one that’s decently priced) 🙂
I’m so excited to have this picked out. Of course we won’t buy any of it until the nursery is farther along (read: done) but soon! And the decision part is the hardest part – so happy to be done with that!
