Nursery Decor & Baby Furniture

We were expecting a baby boy, and so we decided to paint the room blue. After applying the blue paint, the room looked a bit dull and that’s when we decided to apply a glazing technique to it called ragging on. We found the instructions for the technique at Behr. After applying this technique we put up the animal wallpaper border we had bought. The room was looking much better, but there was still much more work to be done. We went out and bought oak wooden blinds for the windows, which gave the room a touch of sophistication, and we thought it would be easier to keep the room dust free if we didn’t use fabric curtains. Since we went with the oak wooden blinds, we decided to decorate the room with oak finished drawer chests, crib, rocking chair and wooden framed art. At first we went to a couple of furniture stores to see if we could find nice baby furniture to compliment the room, but everything was very expensive and I didn’t want to waste my son’s college tuition on this. I went online and searched to see if there was anything that I liked at a reasonable price, and that’s when I came across the Storkcraft baby line of furniture. It was exactly what I was looking for, but I wasn’t sure where I could buy it at a good price and that would deliver the items in good condition. I finally ended up purchasing the Storkcraft Aspen Stages Crib with Drawer (turns into a Full size bed), the Storkcraft Beatrice 3-drawer chest, and the Storkcraft Beatrice 5-drawer chest at Wal-Mart. The prices were the best I could find online, the items were delivered via UPS to my doorstep in perfect condition and they delivered the items sooner than I expected and much earlier than the delivery date they specified on their site when I placed the order. The furniture arrived unassembled, but the instructions were very easy to follow and we were able to put everything together in no time. The only thing I was missing was the rocking chair which I also purchased in Wal-Mart because the price was unbeatable; I bought the Glider Rocker with matching Ottoman for less than $80 dollars. Next step was buying baby gear, but that’s a whole new other story.
