Must-Know Secrets to Score WOW-Worthy Baby Furniture for Your Dream Nursery- Ep. 6

How To Design Your Baby Nursery with Gabriella Milgrom

Finding the Perfect Pieces for Your Dreamy Nursery

Alright, friends! We've laid the groundwork with our nursery needs, mapped out the room, dreamed up a design with all the colors, textures, and décor, and even roughed out a budget. Now, it's time for the fun part: shopping! 🎉 But before you hit that 'add to cart' button, we need to talk furniture specifics.

In this episode, we're diving into the nitty-gritty of selecting the right pieces for your nursery, with a special focus on cribs, gliders, and changing tables. Because, let's be honest, babies come with a lot of stuff, and we want to make sure you get the best bang for your buck without compromising on style or functionality.

Highlights:

1. Cribs:
   • To crib or not to crib? That's the grand debate. While the media makes it seem like setting up a crib is a rite of passage, many babies start in a bassinet next to mom. But if you're buying a crib, opt for a convertible one that grows with your baby—a 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 option that transitions from crib to toddler bed, to chairs with a desk area. It’s an investment that pays off for years!
2. Gliders and Nursing Chairs:
   • The unsung hero of the nursery! You'll spend countless hours feeding and soothing your baby in this chair, so it's worth finding one that is comfortable, silent, and stylish enough to move into another room later. Pro tip: Go test them out in stores! What works for one person might not work for you.
3. Changing Tables:
   • Ditch the dedicated changing table and go for a dresser with a removable topper. It serves multiple functions and transitions easily as your baby grows. Also, skip the chic wicker changing pads—they're a nightmare to clean after a blowout! Instead, go for a practical, easy-to-clean option.

We'll also cover the best places to shop, from budget-friendly options like Facebook Marketplace and Ikea to splurge-worthy spots like Pottery Barn Kids and West Elm. Remember, higher cost doesn't always mean better quality—focus on certifications and approvals.

Key Takeaways:

• Detailed advice on choosing cribs, gliders, and changing tables.
• Tips for balancing style, functionality, and budget.
• Recommendations on where to shop for the best deals.
