Today we got a Sniglar crib from Ikea and a few other nursery items. The Trofast changing table (see below) will convert to a dresser someday by just taking the top part off. The red doors go in front and there is shelving, too. Not pictured is a tall Trofast shelf with red drawers--this should come in handy to store stuff. We also got a cute mobile and a couple of bright rugs. Someday we'll post pictures of what it all looks like in "real" life.
We'll probably spend much of this weekend assembling our semi-disposable Swedish furniture, but you can't beat the price, considering that we got everything today (including lamps, some toys and other knickknacks that you just can't seem to escape Ikea without buying) for less than what some higher-end cribs cost. And as the Baby Bargains* book says, the $100 crib has to pass the same safety standards as that $700 crib.
*Thanks for sending this to us, Suzy! It has been a very useful reference tool!
