[quote=Anonymous]You can get whatever dresser you want. It does not need to be a “kids” dresser, and it can be your changing table. 
I like the look of my Ikea gulliver crib, but it does have exposed cams on the sides and I probably wouldn’t like it if I didn’t know it would be gone in a few years. But in terms of function/quality, cribs are highly regulated and I think basically they’re all fine/the same.

Get a comfortable glider. I splashed out for an RH one that I really like, with Sunbrella fabric slipcover that’s easy to clean. But one from Craigslist would be good, my main objection to the ubiquitous wooden ones is that all the padding and fabric should be removable and washable. I don’t know why it isn’t.

Also, curtains are really important in a nursery. I’ve been fine so far with just blackout curtains (so a fair amount of light gets in the sides and tops) but I know for other people, their babies demand pitch blackness.

The other really important decorating element is lighting. You want very dim lighting available, like a lamp on a dimmer, and you need it to be easy to turn on and off when you’re holding the baby in the middle of the night (so put the lamp on a remote switch so you don’t have to bend and reach to turn it on and off).

I spent a ton of time and a lot of money (for me) decorating my nursery and I love and appreciate it every day. It’s very functional, it’s soothing, it’s got the right lighting for different tasks, and a fan which is important to me because I don’t like to use A/C until absolutely necessary. [/quote]
