Thom told me last night after I had been on the laptop for about 3 hours looking at baby stuff that maybe I needed to take a break for awhile because I was becoming obsessed. I could see why he would say that, but the thing is, I'm not really obsessed, I just want to decide on a POA (plan of action) so I can get it underway. After I know what I'm doing I will be able to focus on those specific things and not such a broad range. For example, at first I was convinced that I wanted an armoire. Well, an armoire didn't really fit into our budget since I couldn't find a decent one for under $1,000. Then I saw an idea on Project Nursery for a shelving unit with all these baskets and I thought that may be the solution, but I then have to find baskets that a) fit the dimensions of the shelves and b) fit the decor of the nursery. This is hard to do when you are looking online.
Here is the Nursery I saw that I liked with the shelves. I would probably put baskets in most of the cubbies/shelves to hold all the various baby items:
Here are some shelves that I like that you put baskets in:
I also love the idea of creating a "boutique" type feel in the room by hanging some shelving and a bar on the wall to display clothing:
I got my bedding (yay!) in the mail and I love it. I just got the bumper, sheet and bedskirt, not the quilt, which she can't even use right now anyway. And our crib will be black, not white.
So that's one thing down. But now, I have to get a rug, curtains, decor for the walls, a mobile, etc and it needs to match the bedding. The only sure fire way to do that is to go out to stores and see it in person, because it's too risky to do online because of color variances.
I found some things that I really like online, I may post them later. But for now, I'm still trying to sort out how we can accommodate style, budget, space and functionality. *sigh*.
