Playroom Reveal: Creating an organized play space for Colt baby to grow into

Wow, we have come a long way from Colton playing in a playpen to the living room to sharing our gym to now having his own play space he can grow into. I’ve never been so proud of a room reveal and I hope you love it. Before the room just had his toys everywhere and it felt like the room was missing something. Turns out it was furniture. We needed some organizational pieces and storage solutions. When shopping for baby furniture, I wanted to make sure I found high-quality items that transitioned with Colt baby as he grew.

I found this company called Milk Street Baby and was in awe of their gorgeous, functional, well-made, high-quality, furniture.

Why Milk Street

Safe finishing. Certified Clean.

Each finish they use is Greenguard Gold Certified. Having certified finishes means their products have met the industry standards for low emissions and stricter standards for health & safety.

Their furniture is engineered in the USA, built and finished by hand, and ready to ship!

At least 20 sets of skilled hands will have touched your nursery furniture before it ships!  From construction to finishing to packing, artisans and woodworkers have built your collection with precision. Just like pregnancy, all good things take time! While their nursery furniture takes a minimum of 12-16 weeks to build, they stay fully stocked so you don’t have to wait!

5 – Year Warranty

Furniture is for keeping. By registering your product, they will protect the beauty and value of your furniture.

What We Picked Out

The furniture is shipped already put together so it was a breeze. It’s the most well-made furniture I’ve ever seen. It’s heavy, strong, sturdy, and I feel totally safe having Colton around it knowing it won’t fall on him. This is the furniture I would use, as an adult. It might be nicer than what I currently have. The high-tech features and function are amazing! I have a feeling we’ll have these pieces for life.

Colton’s Reaction

We organized and set up his playroom then surprised him and he flipped out. He was so excited he was spinning in circles. Then he very carefully went up to his new bookcase and looked at every picture, every dinosaur, every book in awe until he got the courage to touch something. Then he inspected the furniture, opened the drawers on the dresser, and shut them. They’re soft-close drawers that have some weight behind them so I knew he wouldn’t smash his finger. He was so happy. I loved it.
