This Design on a Dime project is getting really fun! The only thing that would make it even better is if I had heaps of cash to pay for even the cheapest of the ideas! Really though, planning and dreaming is just as fun as actually doing it I think. No, never mind.
 
The inspiration behind Baby LuLu’s nursery comes from the Serena & Lily website. It is the room that features their Lucy bedding line (fitting, I think). I was looking for something totally girly and simple and of course, pink. Today I’m looking for a chair. The chair in the inspiration room would most likely be found at a thrift store, yard sale, an estate sale, an antique store. Somewhere like that, it’s a bit older looking. Please excuse my decorating terms; I have no formal education in interior design.
As cute as the chair is, I don’t think it’s really super practical for what purpose I need it to serve. I need to be able to rock the baby and/or nurse. If I had a HUGE house, I might have a separate chair or place to do that but no, this room needs to be pretty all inclusive. So, here are the chairs I propose even though they look NOTHING like the inspiration chair. Your ideas or links would also be appreciated! 
1. Best Sweetheart Glider $379 and Ottoman $139 (JC Penney)   2. Regency Premium Glider Rocker and Ottoman Set $300 (Target)   3. Storkcraft Glider and Ottoman $170 (Walmart)   4. Dozy Dotes Ellies Garden Rocker & Recliner $180

Re: Project Nursery: The Chair

All I can say is that in my nanny experience, I loved the chairs that had the arms at a comfortable height (with cushioning) for bottle feeding the baby. I also liked the ones with the glider footrests, but they did make it hard to get and out of the chair easily because they kinda get in the way and aren't designed in a way where you can push them out of the way with your foot. Style-wise, I like #1. Price wise, I think #4 will be the best bang for your buck.

Re: Project Nursery: The Chair

I have to say, LOVE the craigslist on this one - we got a $500 chair, practically brand new, for only $100. The previous owners had installed the back rest backwards (does that make sense?) so all we had to do was flip it around. I bet you could find a fantastic glider for cheap and recover the cushions to match your nursery really easily!
