baby dresser

The first purchase for our little J was a dresser. We had this old Ikea dresser, but it was much too small and definitey not cute enough.

As you can see, these were some of the first few baby gifts we received. After a lot of convincing and promising, I convinced B to go to Ikea and buy a dresser. He is anti-Ikea, but how can you say no to your pregnant wife. So, off to Ikea we went and luckily, the dresser's quality past his test. Now the fun part.

When it was built it looked like this.

The hardware just wasn't working for me. I wanted something to girl it up or make it a little more sweet looking. After a quick trip to Target I found these.

Here is the first one. So much better!

And finally...

It is perfect. Now I just need to line the drawers, however that is proving to be much more challenging. I can't find anything local and all the cute wrapping paper online is soo expensive to ship, so I am still hunting. We also have some fun stuff for the wall above the dresser, but I can't hang anything yet until the drapes are up.
