Nursery Help!!!

Lboldt2826

So at this point I figured I would be insanely stressed about labor pains, my body, decisions regarding birth, Ect but for some reason I've gotten myself stressed over the nursery. Silly I know! We are having our first..a little girl so I want her room to be pretty and elegant however I'm having a hard time with deciding on a dresser style/changing table to go with her crib. I have ordered the crib already (Chelsea Sleigh Crib- see attached) and it is a antique goldish color. I don't particularly love the dresser that goes with the set. I would really love a French provincial dresser that could be painted (see example image)Question being..what color dresser other than matching the goldish color could I go with on the dresser? Thanks so much!

Have you picked any other pieces for the nursery?  Personally I would take a photo of the crib colour and head to the local hardware store and start looking at paint samples.  I would also look in to if the dresser you want is paintable versus something you have to stain.

If you've already got a color palette in mind for the room I would see what you can pull from that would work well with the dresser.  Personally I love the look of an antique blue with gold but it really depends on the gold and personal taste.  It will also depend on how much of a focal piece you want the dresser or crib to be.  Staining in a natural wood can be super pretty too and there is the advantage of being able to use a waterproof finishto help protect the wood from wear and tear.

My H's grandfather passed away recently and we inherited a dresser from him that we are currently stripping down and will stain a cherry colour for our change table.  I'm a big fan of the natural wood and the dresser itself is quite ornate with lots of really pretty scroll work on it that I think would just be diminished if we were to paint it instead.

Not sure if any of that was helpful but those are my 2 cents.

That crib is awesome!  I'd say to paint/stain the dresser a complimentary color.  You could always go with pink or stain it an espresso color.  Or, if you have other pieces (ie: a rocker) in the same wood tone as the dresser, that would look great as well.

I would go with an actual color--pink, lavender, light blue, etc. instead of a neutral. What's your color palette? Alternatively, I think you could go with a dark wood stain. That would provide nice contrast to the light gold crib.

Unless that crib turns into a twin/full size bed, the dresser will be around a lot longer.  I'd go with a darker wood stain for it, since it's probably going to get banged up.

What a beautiful crib! Have you chosen bedding? I would let that dictate the dresser color.

I also bought a Bratt Decor crib. I drove down to the outlet to get it. I wanted a white Casablanca crib but all they had was the pewter color.  I bought it. But, now I'm having the same problem. What color do I paint the dresser / changing table?   I'm thinking I may still paint them white. Not sure, what do you think?

For your room, with the gold crib I think I'd do a white dresser.

If your walls are a neutral color I'd go with a light blue as an accent.

I was thinking white but I also like the light blue ish color a few people have suggested. Beautiful set.

I love your crib....however, i would not mix colors between the furniture. It may look like it doesn't fit in. If you can't find all the pieces in gold, you can always paint it.
