Around the Town

I LOVE Mike dearly. And I love that he's a fireman. But I just couldn't go with another Fireman themed room. Mikey's room is adorable! I really love it. But I wanted something different for Danny (he's already got a nickname!) I want some jungle animals. Mike wanted fire trucks. And we settled on this crib set with all sorts of cars, trains, and boats.

It's called "Around the Town." And we paid about $250 for everything. Including the mobile, some pictures, and the curtains. :)



Mikey already loves it! We got it in a few days ago. And I set it all up that night. The next morning when I was making breakfast, I found him sitting in his brother's room. Pointing to all the different pictures. He started to tell me what everything was. So cute!

That was Mike and I's compromise. I really like it. Mike painted the room a green to match the little trees. And it really makes the bedding pop. It's such a difference from our Fire Engine room.

If you didn't know, Mike picked out everything in Mikey's room. And we've decided to try once more after Danny is born. I'm hoping for a little girl to spoil. :) And Mike has said that I get to pick everything out for her!

In case you're wondering why we didn't just use Mikey's crib and bedding, like my mom is. We bought him the crib that grows into a toddler bed. Which he's using right now. And the bedding, it grows with it too. We just had to buy a few things. I really like this company. That's what we went with on Danny's too!

Nursery Furniture

If you've ever had a baby, you know it's expensive. We learned that with Mikey. Mike and I thanked our lucky stars that we had a small wedding in Vegas. Because we got pregnant right after we got married. And we had to buy tons and tons of stuff. I was still in college, and he was the only one working.

This time around, well hasn't been much easier on our bank account. Because we got Mikey furniture to grow with him. So no handing down our nursery furniture. And we just bought a house! So we're on a budget. And I've been searching...

Recently, I have found this cute set. The DaVinci Kalani Collection. We got it at Target. In the color expresso. And to be honest, we waited until one of their baby sales. And we got this entire set for $1200 and free shipping. Yes, it was less expensive online than in the store. So weird! We just finished setting it all up. :)



This is a hutch thing that goes on top of a dresser type thing that we bought. You can see that in the bottom picture. I really like all those shelves. And I plan on buying some small baskets to store some essentials in. :)



I really like this changing table. After our baby doesn't need a changing table, you can take the railing off. And then it's just a set of drawers. :)



And this is the set. I'm not sure why the other 2 pieces were not in this picture. I like the chest of drawers a lot! Very cute. And the dresser thing, love it! The taller side, it has deep shelves. I'm thinking it would be a nice place for books and stuff. That's where that hutch attaches too. Mike "super attached" the hutch to the dresser. And he attached the entire thing to the wall. Yes, that meant we had to paint the baby's room first. Which we decided on a nice green color. :)

And the crib. It's perfect! And one of the 4-in-1 cribs like Mikey's. A little more in the beginning. But in the end, you save a lot of money. Now if we just knew whether we were having a boy or girl so I could buy some yummy bedding!
