We are starting to get all the little pieces we need to make a nursery…obviously we don’t have anything cute and fun to put in it yet, but we have started collecting the basic pieces we need for the room! I’m very excited about the deals we have come across. We are using my in-law’s crib (she used it for all four of her kids!), and it’s so pretty. It’ll be perfect and I’m so appreciative to them for letting us use it. We also got a great deal on some wicker furniture – Jonathan’s boss had some in his garage, and wanted it GONE, so Jonathan loaded it up on a trailer and brought it to our house a few weeks ago…it needs a little TLC, but for the price we paid, we are happy to fix it up and make it work for us. It also has some great pieces we can use in future bedrooms. The wicker comes with all the below:
1. Full size headboard
2. TV Stand
3. Hope Chest – or Toy chest in our case
4. Book Shelf (he included two others that are not wicker)
5. 6 drawer dresser and mirror
Along with all of this furniture, I purchased a changing table at a garage sale with the changing pad and a cover for $25. It’s a beautiful black changing table, that I can place baskets underneath for storage. I had not planned on purchasing one like this, but for such a great deal I couldn’t pass it up! I also purchased a wicker rocking chair right after I found out we were pregnant at a garage sale for $5. I’m hoping to find a cute cushion to put in the seat. In the baby’s room, we plan on putting the dresser/mirror, changing table, toy chest, crib, rocking chair, and book shelves. We are going to probably find other places for the TV stand and store the full size headboard for now. I know that wicker isn’t really “boy” friendly, but if we have a baby boy I am planning on painting the wicker brown and if it’s a girl we are going to keep it white.
We had planned on putting a primer coat on the furniture this weekend, but had trouble with the paint drying in the sprayer because it was so hot outside, so we are hoping we can get it done soon.
