I spent forever trying to figure this out, because like you, our stuff was old crappy hand me downs that didn't match and I was sick of it wanted some grown up matching furniture. BUT, we are in a new rental, so I didn't want to buy anything expensive that might not fit in our next place (probably a house that we buy).

So, after way too much time researching and looking in furniture stores, we went with Ikea Hemnes for the dresser and wardrobe (the dresser is all real wood, at least, and it fit the space without being too expensive). We did get a pottery barn bed, though, which we will keep forever and ever, and may end up getting PB dressers down the line. I'm thinking the Ikea dresser could end up in this baby's big kid room, when the baby furniture goes to baby #2.

I had a hard time finding more modern looking stuff-- not super modern, but not big old traditional stuff either. So I ended up looking at Crate & Barrel and PB a lot.

@tinyperson: Haha we have the same bedroom! (our bed is actually all wood from PB but still- good taste

I actually bought an upholstered bed online from overstock. It was kind of a big risk not seeing it in person, but I love it! Then we bought dressers and nightstands from a local furniture store. I didn't want everything to match exactly...

we got our entire bedroom set from costco. com (bed frame, headboard, sideways dresser with vanity mirror, tall dresser, and two night tables). for everything, the price was really reasonable and what I liked about it is the price you see online is the price you pay (versus a furniture store where you have to pay tax, delivery fee per furniture piece, set up fee, etc). They came and set it up and everything.
