White crib & dresser - what do you have?

krissymac · February 2011

I either want a white crib & dresser or a natural/oak color. It seems like the expresso color is very trendy and popular right now, but I just don't think it will go well in my house - I have oak trim & doors.

Since I am having a girl, a white crib & dresser would work, but I just can't decide on which set. I want a wide dresser that can also serve as an area to put a changing pad on. Tell me which kind you have and where you found it.

I am looking at the Hemnes 8 drawer dresser from Ikea. Solid wood, only $299. And pairing it with the Gulliver crib, $99. I do NOT want a convertible crib which is why I chose the Gulliver. I will probably also add the Hemnes twin bed frame as well since the nursery will take away my guest room and I have a 2 BR condo.

Solid wood, nice looking, very reasonably priced.

I think the Hemnes dresses will go with any furniture actually and I plan to replace the knobs with some handpainted ones from Etsy.

I, too, am looking to get the Hemnes 8 drawer dresser and Gulliver crib from Ikea.

I really like white in nurseries. Light wood is NMS though.

I tend to think Expresso is classic more than trendy. We have all expresso in our home so we decided to go with it in the nursery as well.

eta: I have heard complaints of white chipping though.

I'm looking at this dresser (I'll change out the knobs) and this crib. Both in white.

We have the Munire Urban. We got the crib, combo dresser, hutch and nightstand.

It's on it's 2nd kid and is in great shape!

We do have it in espresso, but I think it would look great in white too.

I hate to burst your bubble, but the Hemnes dresser is not solid wood. I was interested in it, but the product description on the Ikea website says it's made from:

Top panel: Particleboard, ABS plastic, Acrylic paint, Foil
Leg/ Drawer bottom/ Support rail, front/ Side frame: Fiberboard, Acrylic paint
Side panel: Particleboard, Acrylic paint, Foil
Back: Fiberboard
Drawer front panel: Particleboard, Acrylic paint, Foil, ABS plastic
Drawer sides/ Drawer back/ Support rail, back/ Plinth back: Solid pine
Leg rail: Solid beech or birch
Supporting leg: Solid beech or birch, Acrylic paint

Just ordered the Munrie Bristol in white. The best pure white furniture I could find.

We have 2 Graco Lauren cribs and the Ikea Hemnes 8-drawer dresser, both in white. Can't beat either for the price and they are sturdy and look great together. The changing pad takes up about half of the dresser-top, leaving plenty of room to put other stuff there, and the drawers are really deep and hold a ton. We bought some of the Ikea drawer separator things for the small drawers on top to separate diapers from creams, etc. and to hold small stuff like socks, hats, etc. Works perfectly and we love it.

We have the Bonavita Payton crib and dresser. Very sturdy. It's a convertible crib though. We purchased it locally at USA Baby. I haven't had trouble with chipping. My sister's Espresso Crib from Restoration hardware scratches like crazy. I think it all depends on the manufacturer.

Hemnes 8 drawer dresser, love it. I have a BabyMod crib from Walmart. The style I have is the Olivia and has the dark wood on the bottom, but they make other styles in all white.

I like this one:

We have the white Ikea Gulliver crib ($99, made in Ukraine-- not China!), and we took an old dresser we already had and are painting it white with non-VOC paint. Affordable, safe, and eco-friendly.

DS has cherry furniture, so I want a different look for DC #2, regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl. I haven't done much research yet, but we will probably get a white dresser from IKEA (Hemnes?) and either the same crib DS has (Baby's Dream) in white or the Kendall crib from PBK in white.

We have the Cocoon 1000 in vanilla for DD#1and have loved it.

We just got the Munire Bristol set in white this weekend for DD#2 and love it too! I am a huge fan of white furniture for little girls.

Lkat17 · February 2011

We got the Babyletto Mod crib (it's in the nursery now and looks good) and I've ordered the White Blake dresser from Land of Nod, which will be here this week. Can't wait!

We got the Munire Urban Safeside crib in white:

We went back and forth between a honey/oak/maple or white for a long time and funny enough landed on Espresso (it goes with the most color combination for our room).

We are doing the Graco Lauren Crib in Espresso (mainly because it is sturdy and the color was easy to match with other brands) and the Storkcraft Beatrice Combo Dresser for the changing pad / dressing area.

We got the Ma Marie by Stanley (you can buy it on www.laylagrace.com)

And it's espresso, not expresso.

MrsH_08 · February 2011

We ordered the Young America Slat Crib in cotton white and we have a Ragazzi dresser/changer combo in a honey oak color (bought from CL). We also have a corner shelf unit in white. And we ordered our glider with a neutral fabric and honey oak wood. I'm hoping that will be enough to pull it together without the pieces all being the same color/collection. I'm not a fan of espresso or any dark wood, myself.
