You can easily buy cute baskets for the changing table piece and put your diapers and items in those and use the drawers for clothing, blankets, etc. Believe it or not, the dollar tree actually has cute baskets. I stocked up for Whitaker and use them for toys, laundry, diapers and such. Plus they grow out of things so fast that all those drawers will just hide clothing that is too small. Thus making it quite frustrating when you have a baby that doesn't want to get dressed and you force something over their head only to find out that it is too small. Less drawer space makes you stay on top on those things! (well at least it does for me) Whitaker can now crawl to his bookshelf and take books off the shelf too. It is quite cute! We are so excited for yall!

My sister had the hutch above her changing table and as Landon got bigger, it got harder to not hit his head on that and she ended up changing him on the floor most of the time.Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05094961551574308520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927230669866848874.post-65380250141475783342011-11-30T00:21:25.424-05:002011-11-30T00:21:25.424-05:00I totally vote none!

Baby clothes are small (which you will realize when you start to fold a basket and it takes a hour!). You only want to have what size she is wearing in those places anyways and store the extras until she fits in them. Husbands don't pay attention to sizes! The less furniture in the room the less clutter. I also have an opinion about the paint. We painted only the wall behind the crib pink and left the others neutral so it wasn't overwhelming and the pink was like an accent wall. Just a thought.

Just a side note, the dresser I used for my first apartment was my brother's baby dresser. You could buy a used dresser for cheap, change the hardware, paint it a fun new color, and even sand it give it a chic distressed look.Erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927230669866848874.post-28687948570393414062011-11-29T19:21:35.539-05:002011-11-29T19:21:35.539-05:00Dresser.

Plus - more babies equals more furniture down the road. I know you can always use a bookshelf - but a dresser is really something substantial that can eventually be used in many rooms in the house, and maybe Baby can take it with her when she goes to college. Tear! (Sorry!)<br /><br />Good luck!!!Steel Magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16705333990914255885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927230669866848874.post-21676916449825674552011-11-29T18:54:29.135-05:002011-11-29T18:54:29.135-05:00my vote is dresser--it will be full before you kno...my vote is dresser--it will be full before you know it and you will use it forever! :)Stephanie Aldridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126508716288680136noreply@blogger.com
