Do your two nurseries match (furniture)?

We're just about to order our nursery furniture for dc#2 and are having a disagreement.  DS has espresso colored furniture in his room.  For dc#2, DH wants to get a different finish for the furniture - he doesn't want them to match.

I don't think it's a big deal if they have the same finish.  Each child will have their own room and you won't be looking at the furniture side by side.

For DC#2 (or 3 or 4), do you have the same finish of furniture or different?

    No, but the furniture in the first nursery didn't match, either.  I had an antique armoire in there that was painted white, got a white painted crib to match, and picked an espresso-stained dresser with a changing topper and an espresso-stained side table.

    Nursery #2 will be mostly espresso-stained.

    I wanted to do the same style, but a different color.  I ended up with 2nd hand stuff for the 2nd baby.

    DS's is espresso, and if this baby is a girl I plan to go with white. ?If it's another boy, I'll probably do the same finish as DS has. ?I just prefer the dark colors for boys and light colors for girls.

    Basically the same colors although DS #2's is a touch lighter but they are different styles.

    Mine don't match, but it's more because #1 is a boy & #2 is a girl.

    Both nurseries are done in cherry.  So is our living room, breakfast room, study, library, guest room and master.  Our dining room is in mahogany.  I only like the look of dark woods so cherry is pretty much my standard go-to for wood.

    Yep. We're actually planning to get the exact same crib. Here is our reason:

    We're keeping the larger bedroom as the nursery because there is room in there for the recliner and I spent a lot of time in that recliner nursing JD. When we furnished it we bought a convertible crib and the armoire and dresser/changer that matched the crib.

    JD now will move to a smaller bedroom and there's only room in there for the armoire and his crib. So the dresser/changer will stay in the nursery and we'll just buy the exact same convertible crib so it will match the dresser.

    Ideally I would buy a whole different set of furniture but this is the way it's working out for us so ... whatever. The kids will just have to have matching beds!

    i am not much of a matchy matchy person but my LO will have the same furniture bc they are sharing a room.

    ds1 has black furniture and LOs have dark cherry and we have espresso. although, ours looks a lot like the LOs.

    We will have the same.  We both really like DS's furniture and all of the bedroom furniture in our house is a cherry finish so it just seems like the natural choice.
