[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a win/win proposal for you.  You can save a fortune on all the baby crap by buying the substantial majority of it used (except for the car seat, buy that new).  Take the money you saved from buying baby stuff used and use that for the backsplash.

Getting baby stuff new is generally a rip off and you can get baby stuff in excellent condition on CL or FB Marketplace for 10-20% of the retail price.[/quote]

Truth. And you don’t need matching nursery suites. A good crib is under $500. [/quote]

OP here. My wife likes things to match. We will be getting everything to match. We will be buying a nursery set mostly like from PotteryBarn. She really likes those and says they’re high quality. [/quote]

I was just about to say, let me guess, she wants a matching set from Pottery Barn Kids.

Oh man, you are in for it.  It is cheap crap, but they make it look really pretty and so UMC that all the first time basic moms buy it up.

I really hope she didn’t furnish the condo with the same quality mass market mall store furniture.  Did you start a thread about her wanting the Pottery Barn baby furniture and then argue with everyone about how she only likes “high quality” stuff? And is this the same wife that only wants to eat organic and has you getting meat delivered from “local farms.”  I bet yes it is[/quote]

OP here. What is wrong with matching though? I would assume a nursery with all different colors would look like a clown room. We are looking at a variety of places but mostly BuyBuyBaby and will get a matching crib and dresser set. [/quote]

OP here. I get it. I wanted everything to match. PBK was one on my list and I took months to decide. In the end I went with a still expensive but less expensive option. I made a thread about it and almost everyone said PBK was overpriced and shopping would take a long time. We went with the Million Dollar Baby crib and dresser. It took about a week to arrive and looks great. We spent the most on the nursery chair. All of it cost around 2k instead of the 4-5k PBK would cost. [/quote]
