Everything else, we bought used or ridiculously cheap. We got a separate changing table, because we found one on clearance at Kmart for $5. It isn't the prettiest, but it has extra storage underneath, and I can use the top of the dresser for his books. I also found four matching dressers at Goodwill for $10 each, so we use one dresser in our office, one as a nightstand in the guest room, and two dressers are in James' room. One is out in the room itself, and we keep a lamp on it, with current clothes in it. The bigger one we actually put in his closet, and keep too-big clothes and future toys in it. We took a cheap behind the door mirror, turned it sideways, and put it over the changing table to entertain James while he's being changed. I didn't like diaper stackers, I just bought blue plastic bins and filled them with diapers under the changing table. I love the little plastic hanger on one side of the table, because it holds the wipes container in easy reach, but out of the way. A glider was essential for us. I actually use the one my mother used for me as a baby. It's ugly, but it has a lot of memories for us. I covered up the bottom with a simple white blanket, and covered the top with my baby blanket. My baby blanket is too fragile for him to play with, but it was the color inspiration for the room. It's part of our bedtime routine. We come in, change his diaper, sit and hang out for a couple of minutes, maybe finish a bottle, then it's in the crib. Speaking of the crib, we loved our little light-up seahorse. It sounds cheesy, but it's basically a cute gloworm from our childhoods. It stays in the crib, and only gets turned on for sleep, which helps James know when it's playtime in his room, and sleep time. A hamper is really really really essential. We just used a cheap white one, but when our guy has a blow-out, it's so nice to have a plastic container to toss the sheets and clothes in and haul it down to the basement. I thought about a nicer looking cloth one, but the sheer amount of nasty messes make them impractical because you have to wash the hamper with the messy stuff! ETA: I wanted to share some of the products we use. This is the crib we bought: http://www.target.com/Graco-Lauren-Dropside-Convertible-Crib/dp/B000VX9HJ6/ref=br_1_5?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&searchView=grid5&searchNodeID=371871011&node=371871011&searchRank=pmrank&searchPage=1&searchSize=30&id=Graco%20Lauren%20Dropside%20Convertible%20Crib It's very affordable, convertible to a toddler bed and full bed, sturdy, easy to assemble, and looks nice! The seahorse we use and love is: http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=2341&e=detail&pcat=buocean&pid=43203 It's not the most sophisticated looking thing, but it plays soft classical music with a quiet ocean noise. We used this bedding: http://www.target.com/DwellStudio-Target-Bedding-Collection-Zoo/dp/B000VPBOA4/ref=sc_qi_detail?ie=UTF8&pf_rd_r=14H3C8CNREN6KCSPDS2N&pf_rd_p=445868701&pf_rd_i=5205&pf_rd_s=bottom-5&pf_rd_m=A1VC38T7YXB528&pf_rd_t=5201 It doesn't really match the theme of his room, but the sheets are ridiculously soft and it looks really cute. Instead of spending money on changing pad covers, we buy the dwell studio recieving blankets: http://www.target.com/Studio-Target-Flannel-Receiving-Blankets/dp/B001KJU3RU/ref=sc_qi_detailbutton?ie=UTF8&pf_rd_r=1ZRP0CFF4T7Y1FBXXX7A&pf_rd_p=465357931&pf_rd_i=B001KJU3RU&pf_rd_s=bottom-6&pf_rd_m=A1VC38T7YXB528&pf_rd_t=5101 they're 3 for $12, they're super soft, and oversized, they're perfect to swaddle with, and use as changing pad covers. They come in a ton of different, modern prints. I love them! I would absolutely buy your crib and car seat new. Everything else, we bought used or ridiculously low-cost. We got a separate changing table, because we found one on clearance at Kmart for $5. It isn’t the prettiest, but it has extra storage bottom, and I can use the top of the dresser for his books. I also found four matching dressers at Goodwill for $10 each, so we use one dresser in our office, one as a nightstand in the guest room, and two dressers are in James’ room.

We took a low-cost behind the door mirror, twisted it sideways, and place it over the changing table to entertain James while he’s being changed. I didn’t like diaper stackers, I just bought blue fake bins and filled them with diapers under the changing table. I like the modest fake hanger on one side of the table, because it holds the wipes container in simple reach, but out of the way.

A glider was essential for us. I really use the one my mother used for me as a baby. It’s hideous, but it has a lot of memories for us. I covered up the bottom with a simple white blanket, and covered the top with my baby blanket. My baby blanket is too fragile for him to play with, but it was the color inspiration for the room. It’s part of our bedtime routine. We come in, change his diaper, sit and hang out for a couple of minutes, maybe end a bottle, then it’s in the crib.

Speaking of the crib, we loved our modest set alight-up seahorse. It sounds cheesy, but it’s basically a cute gloworm from our childhoods. It stays in the crib, and only gets twisted on for sleep, which helps James know when it’s playtime in his room, and sleep time.

A picnic basket is really really really essential. We just used a low-cost white one, but when our guy has a blow-out, it’s so nice to have a fake container to toss the sheets and clothes in and haul it down to the basement. I thought about a nicer looking cloth one, but the sheer amount of nasty messes make them impractical because you have to wash the picnic basket with the messy stuff!
