What furniture does your new baby need?
From cribs to changing tables the market has everything you
need in baby furniture to create a beautiful nursery. But don’t plan on
duplicating the showroom floor or you’ll end up paying for your
investment long after you’ve exchanged your baby’s mobile for the most
newly-released music CD.
To avoid breaking the bank when furnishing your nursery, think about
what your baby really needs. A bookshelf may look really nice but, is
it something you need right away? Remember you can always keep adding
to the room over time.
One necessity you’ll buy is a crib. It’s also the most expensive,
ranging in price from $100 to thousands of dollars. If multiple
children will be using it through the years, you may want to spend a
little more money to get a sturdier version. Some cribs also covert
into a toddler bed and then to a full size headboard and footboard.
Depending on what brand you buy and where, you can spend anywhere from
$200 upwards for this style. When you consider the cost of replacing
furniture several times throughout your child’s life however, this
investment makes the most sense.
Garage sales are a good place to look for baby nursery furniture. Often
you can spot a real find like an old, beat up chest of drawers. Restore
the wood by first stripping it and then sanding it down. Finish the
chest by staining and varnishing it and replacing the hardware with
some cute handles found at your local hardware
store.
Another way to save money is to look for dual function furniture
pieces. Instead of buying a changing table, find a dresser that is
about waist-high and place a changing pad on top. The dresser can then
be used as both a changing table and a check of drawers.
