Baby Nursery Bedding & Furniture

Baby Nursery Bedding and FurnitureBy: Adriana Copaceanu

Your family is expanding, and you need to start planning the nursery for the little one. The choices may seem daunting at first, but if you take it a step a time, it’s not that hard. If this is your first, a lot of things will be taken care of by family and friends at a baby shower, but they will probably want your input.FurnitureThe variety of baby furniture is as large as adult furniture. You have your choice of many styles, wood stain color or painted, and new or used. While buying used furniture is frugal, be sure that the furniture still meets safety standards and check for any old recalls that may have been missed by the previous owner. Most used furniture is in very good shape, and is well worth the savings.There are three basic types of beds for newborns, cradles, cribs and co-sleepers:

Cradles are usually recommended for newborns, as it’s easier to keep near the parents’ bed, if there is room. It’s also more comforting for the newborn. However, the newborn outgrows the cradle fairly quickly.

Cribs are an investment, but by shopping wisely, that investment will pay off in the long run. Many of the cribs today are convertible, so they can be reconfigured into a day bed, toddler bed, and eventually a twin bed, by simply adding supports and the larger mattress.

Co-sleepers are becoming more popular as many families enjoy the closeness of a “family bed”, but don’t actually want the child in their bed full-time. They are an attachable mini-bed on the side of the parents’ bed. They allow the baby to be within arms reach for nighttime nursing, but still have separate sleeping areas. Many people prefer this to actually having the infant in bed with them, for safety reasons as well as a less traumatic transition later, when they feel it’s time for the "big kid" bed.
Dressers -Dressers are another important feature in a nursery. Most cribs have matching dresser sets, but it’s not necessary to have all of it match, as long as it coordinates nicely. Many dressers come with a changing table that can be placed on top, so the baby can still use the dresser as they grow.Be sure that the dresser is a solid construction, and that it won’t tip over after the little one begins the climbing stage. Check that the knobs can not come off easily, as they can pose a choking hazard.
Bedding- The bedding is one of the most fun parts of any nursery (not counting the baby). There are endless choices for the bedding (which usually consists of sheets, bumper, sheets, and comforters). There are many varieties of the traditional pinks and blues patterns, as well as gender-neutral designs for the parents-to-be who wish to be surprised. One of the recent trends in bedding is using bright primary colors, especially combinations of red, black and white. Studies have shown that these colors help the newborn’s eyesight focus quicker.There are hundreds of licensed character bedding sets, with matching accessories to decorate the nursery quickly and easily. Many of these are designs that most children will continue to love as they grow older, making it easy to save money in decorating in the future.

Taylor's Featured Designer for September

Taylor's Featured Designer for September is artist
Wendy Sternschein

Originally from NYC, this artist currently lives in Chicago with her British husband and two toddlers. Upon having her second child, Wendy decided to leave the corporate world to raise her children and pursue her first love; painting.

As a young girl, Wendy was inspired by her grandfather who owned an art gallery called Blum and Schloss in NYC in the mid thirties with their acclaimed paintings of famous scenic views on tile and canvas.

Wendy grew up surrounded by her grandfathers’ paintings throughout her parent’s home, and this led to her passion to draw and paint.

This hobby, which started when Wendy was 5, turned into something a bit more lucrative in her twenties, selling her artwork to friends, local boutique shoppes and through word of mouth.
Her artwork is unique, whimsical, vibrant and personalized which adds a special finishing touch to any child’s room!

Buying The Perfect Baby Gifts

Buying The Perfect Baby Gifts
With the arrival of a new baby, friends and family members of the new parents should think about what baby gifts to buy. However, the gifts bought would depend on the gender of the baby. This is mostly the case with colors. Girls traditionally get pink gifts while boys would get blue. You can go with a neutral color if purchasing it before the birth.

The best baby gifts, especially for baby showers are something to announce the birth of the new baby. This can be anything like a lace handkerchief, baby pillow, a personalized silver spoon, a picture frame, or a personalized diaper bag. Many parents would prefer to receive a personalized gift rather than one without any sentimental value attached to it. Putting a little thought into this can go a long way towards getting just the right item.

The second idea that could be bought for a baby is toys. All children love toys, and a soft cuddly teddy bear, doll, or truck can be played with by children of all ages. Depending on the toy selected it can be played with even until the child is older. It is important to check the age level that the toy is recommended for before you purchase it though. This can avoid you buying a toy that is not safe.

The third idea that would be good baby gift is clothing. There are numerous clothes that someone could buy for a little baby boy or girl. It makes a thoughtful and considerate purchase for the new parents as clothing is something that all children can always use.

Very popular baby gifts to buy are a basket of various items for the new baby and mother. This can include a healthy food basket for mom, or a basket filled with numerous baby supplies for the baby. In this way, both mom and baby will be able to enjoy the gift together.

Therefore these are just some possible ideas that can be considered as baby gifts. Look around various stores or websites for more ideas on the popular trends in gift giving. You want your gift to be both memorable and useful so try to put some thought into it. The new parents will very thankful if you do.
