::nursery furniture::

For architectdad and me, other than the actual pregnancy and birthing processes, decorating the nursery was probably the highlight of our entire baby experience so far. After searching all over for the perfect nursery furniture, we decided on the Aerial line from Nurseryworks.

A friend, who is currently pregnant (congratulations to A and E!), asked me which pieces of baby furniture we have. The pieces we bought are the Aerial crib with the toddler conversion kit, the Two Wide changing table and the Sleepytime rocker. All of the pieces are custom, meaning, you can pick your desired design and color for the ends, slats, rails and changing table door. We picked the snow circle ends with bead slats, and snow circle door. The rails for the bed and changing table are dark pine. The rocker is copper microsuede with dark ash legs. The website is interactive, so play around with the different combinations...it's fun! We bought the Nurseryworks bedding in orange Macaroni and pink Sea Holly. For a boy, I love the blue Peaberry. So modern and crisp.

Try buying the furniture from a place that offers free shipping, because you certainly don't want to pay $500 extra for shipping. However, since the items are heavy, there may be a surcharge anyway for handling. Try Design Public...seems like their handling fee is the lowest.

For the walls, we painted it a crisp white and applied wooden circles from FOLD on top. The circles are shipped primed and ready for paint. We painted the circles white, pink and orange to create a custom pattern. You may want to buy more than one set of circles, because each set only comes with 8 pieces. We bought two sets from Design Public; one set of smaller circles and another of larger circles. I also bought some round mirror discs and integrated them into the pattern.
