Usually I'm pretty frugal, so before our baby was born, we were looking for some great deals for his room. We didn't find out what we were having, so we went with neutral that would work for either gender...and for any future children. We got some great bedding from Burlington Coat Factory on clearance made by Lambs and Ivy. It's called Zoofari. I figured that if we had a girl, we would add flowers and butterflies to accent.
We also got the furniture at Burlington on clearance. This ended up being a huge issue because I wanted the furniture to match since we'll be using it for years to come! That meant I had to call all of the local stores to check their supply. The bad thing was that they had started clearancing it about a year before we bought it, so most places were out!
We ended up getting the crib first at a local one as well as the convertor set. Then we got the hutch from one near my parents. I then found the changing table...at two locations in Texas. Neither of them were near where family lives, so my parents took a day trip to get it!
I think it ended up all looking pretty good together. It has been difficult to get all the pieces together and matching bedding, but I think it has been worth it. I, however, will not buy bedding or furniture in the future if I am planning to match it up!
It looks great to me! The furniture in our nursery doesn't match. Looks like he's happy in there to me!
