i've heard mixed reviews about buying a rocker/glider for our nursery. some say they are a must-have item to save yourself from hours of nighttime feedings, other say they are clunky and a waste of money.
i happen to be a believer.
i ruled out rockers, i wanted the freedom of turning in a swivel glider. i also wanted an ottoman to rest my tired feet & legs.
when looking for a glider, i was set on having one that was:
- modern-traditional...
- comfortable enough to spend lots of hours breastfeeding in
- & sort of neutral in color, so that the accent pillows can pop against it.
i definitely didn't want one of those old school, amish-y looking "regular" gliders. (i'm not like a real mom, i'm a cool mom. jk, but seriously.) while they are much more affordable, this was an area i was willing to splurge in the name of style.
i also didn't pick something based on being able to "fit it in" with our "regular" furniture. it's more like an investment for rocking & feeding our babes. if it doesn't "match" with our stuff after this, that's okay.
i came across a million that didn't fit the criteria...
some were too modern...
some were too traditional...
& some were just right...
i narrowed it down to three:
1. this land of nod swivel glider for $799.
2. this little castle glider for $449.
3. or this little castle glider for $449.
i loved the tufting on 2 & 3, so i ruled out 1. then i decided to go a little crazy & went with the pattern of 2! AND got the matching ottoman, for the same price as just the glider from land of nod. success!
