Setting up a Nursery, Part 1

With our last little boy on the way, we have an opportunity for a first this time around: setting up a proper nursery before he gets here.

With Harrison, we were still in an apartment when we brought him home, so we didn't get to set him up a nursery until we moved into our first home a month or two later. When Sawyer came along, he had to bunk up with Harrison for 6 months until we got into this house where we could set him up his own room. But now with #3 on the way, we actually have a spare room to decorate before he even gets here.

Our baby furniture has served us well, and probably would have held up for another round, but since this third little guy is going to be up to his ears in hand-me-downs we decided to get something new for him. We sold the old crib, changing table, crib set, and a bunch of stuff out of the spare room, a surprisingly easy task using Woodlands Online. The proceeds from that helped us to pick a nice new crib and crib set with a fresh new design. Matched with a nice new dresser and side table from Rooms to Go and this nursery is already on it's way.
