They're just folded in the drawers of her dresser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381744 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 14:30:13 +0000 BeachMama 381744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a matching dresser to her crib, whch also acts as her changing table. We figured it'll stay with her as she grows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381707 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 14:16:08 +0000 Mrs. Pen 381707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We upcycled the one I had in my room as a kid :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381683 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 14:10:27 +0000 banana 381683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, we bought a white dresser for her room and a dark brown dresser for my son's room, to match their room decor. I need to use a dresser for their clothes because whenever I hang up their clothes, I forget they're there and I end up with brand new clothes, never worn. At least if I put them in the dresser, I can visually see all of the clothes and they get worn more often that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381645 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 13:59:02 +0000 ValentineMommy 381645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: That's the dresser in MY bedroom, lol. I've had it at least 4 years and it still looks brand new!</p> <p>We bought a new one for LO that will double as a dresser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381584 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 13:29:29 +0000 MusicaV 381584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a used dresser off of Craiglist. It takes a while to sift through the ads of ugly dressers, but it was worth it. Our changing pad is on the dresser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381229 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 11:26:45 +0000 heffalump 381229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When LO was still in my belly I was shopping with my mom and we saw a very cute dresser at an antique store with hand painted pastel dragon flies on it. She wanted to buy it right then and there and I said no, we didn't know if she was a boy or girl yet and it was such a girly dresser. So the second she found out she was a girl she called the store and told them to put a sold sign on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381159 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 11:06:59 +0000 Smurfette 381159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are planning on getting one. It will be the changing table as well. The closet isn't huge so we need the storage. Plus I would rather fold then hang her clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381155 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 11:05:54 +0000 mrsjyw 381155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, our changing table/dresser combo is plenty of additional space for LO's things... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381154 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 11:05:51 +0000 phdmommy 381154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: We got the same one! I love how big it is and how much it stores. I prettied it up w/ some Antro pulls and painted the others gold. I too had visions of re-doing an antique dresser...but ya know...millions of excuses. Still, very happy with the purchase as it will grow with her for many years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381128 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:55:21 +0000 winniebee 381128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bought a new one - doubles as changing table, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381125 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:54:40 +0000 shopaholic 381125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: That was going to be my choice too if I couldn't find an antique one w/in my budget! Nice and roomy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381124 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:54:39 +0000 LemonLong 381124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We installed Elfa from the container store in her closet. There is only one tiny bar for hanging. We had about 4-5 drawers put in, but everything else is in labeled bins. It looks nice and is super easy to put clothes away in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381109 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:49:49 +0000 SugarplumsMom 381109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I had time, I would have hunted down an antique but by the time I got around to it, I was well into my 3rd trimester and could barely walk. I ended up getting the white Hemnes. I needed something substantial since her room doesn't have much storage options. I'm pretty happy with it.<br /> [attach=1448/12/md2pb1.500x500.hemnes-byra-med--lador__30435_PE118674_S4.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381106 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:48:13 +0000 Sammyfab 381106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. We bought two ikea dressers that also act as his change table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381077 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:40:37 +0000 MamaMoose 381077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we bought a matching crib and dresser and then a little piece that attachs to the top of the dresser and holds the changing pad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381073 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:39:25 +0000 DillonLion 381073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a matching set: crib, dresser, and glider/ottoman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381068 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:38:14 +0000 Minnie_Girl 381068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm using a dresser from a family set that I grew up with. It's vintage furniture (probably 80 years old?), the perfect height, and --best of all--it's FREE! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381019 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:25:41 +0000 pinkcupcake 381019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought her a new dresser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381017 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:25:11 +0000 ladyfingers 381017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a new dresser. We knew we wanted his to double as a changing table and we didn't have any elsewhere in the house that were long enough. I initially looked for a used one but FIL offered to buy us a new one so we did that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381004 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:22:13 +0000 Mrsbells 381004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we didnt have a dresser for ourselves plus her crib came with a dresser and changing table </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-381000 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:21:30 +0000 autumnlove 381000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a new dresser that my FIL bought off our registry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-380972 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:15:32 +0000 mamabolt 380972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took one out of the guest room and painted it white, I figured guests really didn't need to put their stuff in drawers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-380965 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:14:35 +0000 chopsuey 380965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never had a dresser for ourselves so Lo got a new dresser.<br /> I can't imagine hanging up all of her clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-380964 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:14:31 +0000 shopaholic 380964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a vintage dresser for the nursery for storage and also to use as a changing table. We're also going to install the Elfa in the nursery closet and I will put in some bins and shelving since 1/2 the drawers will be used for diaper and changing stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-a-new-dresser-for-your-los-room#post-380933 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 10:05:57 +0000 mediagirl 380933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got so fed up with hanging M's clothes, I dumped all of the clothes out of my closet dresser and brought it into her room. Now she has a dresser. It's free. My clothes may still be on the floor but that's okay, they're summer things I don't wear right now anyways. :) </p> <p>Did you get your lo a new dresser or re-purpose one from somewhere else in the house? </p>
