Ordered the Nursery Furniture




So we finally ordered the nursery furniture, our stroller and bedding. This was such a process. There is a small Baby Boutique in town. We went there first and found a set we loved! But it was super expensive. And, when you have a husband who runs a company and is always looking at the bottom line and how to save money...well you know where this is going. He wasn't satisfied with the 10% discount they offered us. So we took the brochures on the furniture and went on our way. We called about 5 other local stores (NY, NJ and MA) to compare what their prices were on this set. Well, this boutique was the most reasonable. They had the lowest price on everything. After 3 visits total, Michael spoke with the owner and got him to agree on a 18% discount on everything we bought! Sweet! Although, this didn't come without a huge blowout. We got into a major fight about it. But it blew over. We got everything we wanted at a price we were comfortable with. And, our mom's agreed to buy the nursery furniture, my mom also bought the custom bedding. Mike and I bought the stroller, glider and ottoman. No we just have to wait about 10 weeks for everything to come in, be delivered and set up. Now to start painting! Well here are the pictures of the furniture, and the nursery we are literally copying. I found it online and fell in love with it. We custom ordered the bedding to almost match it exactly! And, the stroller of course. I have coveted the Bugaboo Chameleon since before we even started trying to have a baby.

Picture #1 is the Stroller (Obviously)
Picture #2 is the Furniture
Picture #3 is the Nursery we are basically copying with a few minor changes.
