PIP: Do you think a bookcase like this fits in with our nursery decor?

The bedding is made from this: 

Overall, I'm going for sort of a vintage-y/shabby chic sort of feel.  Her crib is white and I refinished her dresser, painting it the aqua from the stripe and adding crystal hardware.

Would you go for the dollhouse bookcase or a simple white one.  If the latter, have you seen any reasonably-priced, but durable and cute white bookcases anywhere?  All the ones I've seen in person look cheap since white furniture is often laminate and not wood painted white.

I love the bookcase and I think it goes well with what you have pictured/described. 

And congrats!  I didn't know you were having a girl...so exciting after two boys, huh?!?!

love it!  dd has a dollhouse bookcase that I found at Michaels and painted myself.  it's been a hit for 3 years.  lol.  I think that bookcase would go perfectly with what you've described.

I think that bookcase looks really cute with the decor you picked out!  That being said, if you're looking to keep the furniture for a while, DD would grow out of it at some point.  The advantage to just basic well-made furniture is that it lasts forever.  We have a few pieces my parents bought for me when I was a kid.  They've been refinished a few times, but are still super-sturdy!  I think they got the pieces at a local woodloft type place that sells all wood, unfinished furniture.

I love the dollhouse bookcase, and I think it would look great.  Another idea is one of those Jenny Lind style bookcases.  I think that style would go well with your other things, too.

I saw that one at Michael's yesterday!  I'm definitely not paying $400 for the PBK one I posted a pic of.  Target has a very similar one for $80 and that unfinished one is only $30!

I love the look of that one, and think it goes well with what you're doing. That being said, it looks like it won't hold all that much.  DD has a TON o books, and that would never hold them all.

OMG - I don't know if I can stand all the the cuteness. I think that bookcase would look great. Although I could see my DD taking everything out and using it as a dollhouse!

You can't go wrong with plain white though, either. I think whatever makes you happy!

We have that bookcase and love it! I definitely think it would match your decor.
