We have 2 options for our nursery - the smallish office that's right next to our room and warmer b/c of only one outside wall and one window or the larger guest room that's down the hall (not far - small house!). DH wants to use the office, but I think it's too small. 

If you know how big your nursery is and that everything fits well, I'd love your input. No need to share if you have a huge nursery b/c neither of our options will be a big room. TIA!

    Not sure what you consider huge, but my nursery is 12x10 and now that everything is in there it seems pretty tight with a decent size in the middle to place a play mat and give us some room to play.

    We have a crib, a dresser/changer, a glider and a bookcase as far as furniture goes.

    We've got a 10x11 room we're using as the nursery and guest bedroom.  It's a bit of a tight fit, but we've got a twin daybed (that pulls out and converts to a king bed, for when grandparents come to visit), a dresser that we'll also use as our changing table, a tall bookcase, and our crib.  The room also has a large closet, so that helps with storage.

    Here is a page of small rooms and what they fit.  Most rooms under 8X10

    We have a small, old (1941) house, and our nursery is right next to our bedroom.  (The other option would've been upstairs, though we're using that as an office/guest bedroom, since the only bathroom is downstairs.)  The nursery is about 9.5' x 9.5', and we've got a full-sized crib, dresser/changer, bookshelf, and glider with ottoman in there.  It's a bit of a tight fit, complicated by the fact that we've got three doors (bedroom, closet, and back door, the only entrance to our deck) limiting our wall space.

    Ours is like 10 1/2 x 12 but 2 walls are more or less unusable due to low windows & closet doors.... we have 2 cribs (they are back to back with the short sides against the wall, only way they'd fit), a large upholstered glider & ottoman & a dresser that doubles as changing table. It is super tight b/c of the way the cribs are placed. If we had only one crib flush against the wall, b/c of the way the windows & closet are, I'm not sure we could put anything else really in there without being in front of a window anyway. 

    GL! Below is the website  I used where you can create the measurements of hte room, including windows & doors that open into the room,etc and then pieces of furniture & 'arrange' them all different ways- it was really helpful for me to plan out a few things & then see what worked IRL (which was something different than I thought on paper).

    Our second bedroom that we're using for the nursery is 8'x11'.  We have a crib in there, an upholstered glider/recliner, and a bookcase we're using as a changing table and "dresser".  (We put folding storage bins in the shelves.)  The only additional thing in the room is a hamper.  There was already an elfa system on the wall that used to be the desk/shelves.  We removed the desk portion, but left the high shelving, which we use for both more storage bins as well as books/photos.

    Our nursery is 7x12. We are either going with the Graco Lauren crib or the Jenny Lind crib in white. They are both very small. As far as dressers we are looking at the Storkcraft Beatrice 3 Drawer White Chest (again mainly because of size). We also have a small storage unit from IKEA that they no longer make for toys, a window seat with storage inside, and an upholstered glider (no ottoman). That pretty much takes up the entire room.
