Here is a run down that should be helpful:
Heck yeah you can ask! The crib we didn't get from amazon. We live in DFW and so have access to a Nebraska Furniture Mart. We ended up going with the Kalani brand from them because 1) it's cheap and 2) it came with the toddler rails already (we didn't get the full bed conversion kit, still undecided there). You can get it from Amazon, but it's more expensive and I'm not sure that the rails are included!
It's the same deal with the changer and dresser combo. We found it at NFM but you can still get it on Amazon
The bookshelf we had to get on Amazon. Everything in store was cheap quality or extremely expensive. Some were also way too tall and a kid could seriously hurt themselves on it. So, we ended up with this.
We also ended up getting the travel system on Amazon, too. We made sure to check it out in the store first but the price is the same and shipping was free so we figured, why not? I also really like this system because the stroller will fit the carseat BUT when she's too big for the carseat, I can still use it as a toddler stroller.
The mattress we ended up getting on Wayfair because it was cheaper and shipping was free. We seriously spent hours looking at mattresses and ended up just picking one. You can get a super cheapie at $20 or you can shell out over $300 for one. We ended up getting one that's decently priced (maybe even a bit cheap) but figured we'd rather start there and see how she tolerates it, rather than spend big bucks on a super expensive one. This also has really good reviews so definitely do your research and figure out what's best for you!
Let me know if there's anything else you need! I love shopping and we're doing a lot of it! :D
I made this. The dimensions aren’t perfect but might help see a different way. https://imgur.com/a/XHTquaV so just some thoughts. Move things up walls for space. The glass enclosed dresser doesn’t look easily used. Move the desk over into the corner and move the tall dresser were the glass front one is. The chest and case on it are rough and not very functional. I’d get them out at least while figuring everything out. If you can add shelves or cubes above your side table that would add space. They would need to be screwed in. If you can’t then skip that. Hanging laundry baskets or use a shelf with a couple storage bins to toss laundry in. Depending on measurements possibly something like this on the glass front furniture. C&AHOME Cube Storage Organizer, 8- Cube DIY Plastic Closet Cabinet, Modular Book Shelf Organizer Units, Storage Shelving Ideal for Bedroom Living Room Office with Doors, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XFHW6LK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_fX7RDbR8FS51M shelves with storage cubes, containers or such is another option. Add shelves above the desk. Again bins, tubs, cubes even paper organizers can be used. Dollar stores can give extra options. Don’t consider things exclusive. I needed a closed container to hold chopsticks. I bought a pasta container. Think about how to move things up. Think about how you like things for ease. I like doors but for example some cubes come with or without drawers. Under the bed- I’d consider it storage. It doesn’t look convenient day to day. Under there you want to put this. DampRid FG60FS Moisture Absorber, Fresh Scent, 10.5-Ounce, 2-Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CBLW1MQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_L37RDb41XX5VS put reminders in your phone and empty it every few days until you know how much water it absorbs. You replace the crystals every so often. Keep it away from pets. Damp rid will grab tons of moisture but while you’re checking everything out make sure you don’t see signs of a pipe leak. Mold, soft walls, moisture and bad smells pay attention to. Other type cube options but not this brand ClosetMaid 8937 Cubeicals Organizer, 9-Cube, Espresso https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001UU0NJW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_G87RDbVTHK1NV
Whitmor Storage Cubes - Stackable Interlocking Wire Shelves - Black (Set of 6) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007ELALZC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_Y77RDbMDF1414
There’s also things like this if you have space. SIMPDIY Portable Shoe Rack Storage Organizer Shoe Box Storage System with Doors, Shoes,Accessories - Black (2x6 with Boots Cube 93x126x108cm/37x15x50In) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PZ6K548/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_3-7RDbVY3FSB5
Don’t forget what you choose should work for you. So even something like kids toy storage might work better for some. Like this.

Basically storage needs to go up. Bed drawers don’t work in large rooms so use for storage. Put damp rid out. Make sure no leaks. For me the idea is enclosed. Choose what works for you. Don’t forget if the idea of doors on storage cubes don’t work for you that you can use a curtain to cover it if you don’t want others to see. The idea is finding what works for you. If you move things and have a wall space open buy taller items. I’ve been redoing a smaller space so feel free to ask if you need some other suggestions.
Edit another idea is move that wood dresser to the window like in diagram, glass one next to it and cubes where the wood one is now.
Throwing out a few ideas.
Starting with the pine countertop. Apply a contact paper such as this marble one to add a more refined look. Choose a contact paper that is made for countertops and matches your home. Consider something similar to your bathroom or kitchen counters. There are many styles of contact paper such a tile and stained wood. I would also add table legs like these to stabilize the countertop, especially for my next suggestion. Make sure the countertop sits at least a couple of inches above your washer and dryer (I know it seems like a no brainer but just in case).
To help distract away from everything thats going on, I would add a cube shelving unit like this one. Use fabric cube boxesto store your detergent and other cleaning supplies. They come in different colors and designs. Make sure you order the right size for your shelving unit. This idea would help visually clean up the space. If you decided to do this, I would remove the wall shelf. I would not suggest doing this without attaching table legs to the pine.
Throw up a tension rod with a neutral curtain to divide off the room. I would use rings since fabric on rod isn’t good for constant movement. If your home calls for it or you’re into some extra, look into decorative hooks.
Hopefully my suggestions will help you create a great laundry room that fits your needs and requests.
So I know you were asking about the POANG in particular...but since you mentioned price...this is the recliner we got for our nursery...it's in a similar price range: https://www.amazon.com/Baby-Relax-Mikayla-Recliner-Microfiber/dp/B00VAS7QS0/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1498160535&sr=8-1&keywords=nursery%2Brecliner&th=1
I mean, it's not going to be as nice as a Lazy Boy, but it's pretty comfortable! And I'm 5'4" but it's got a tall back, and it would definitely work for your 5'6". I will say, if I sit with my ass all the way back in the chair, I can't reach the ground, but that's cause it's a pretty deep cushion. It reclines, rocks, and swivels, which is nice.
(on a related note: I think it's really comfortable...but I don't actually nurse in it, lol. I have a hard time getting my kid in a good position to feed without a nursing pillow, and it's not easy to get in a recliner, put the nursing pillow in my lap, and then a baby on top of the nursing pillow. So I did a lot of nursing on the main couch or in my bed, where I could lay the baby down next to me, set up my pillows, and then pick up baby and put her on the pillow. It's obviously easier now because she's 8 months old, but I still think it's easier just to sit on the ground and nurse her)
Bonus. See #3!
She used to say she could taste sleep and that it was as delicious as a BLT on fresh French bread.
I've got some tiny friends, if you're short here's what you do...
Go a little early and find a spot with something behind you like the soundbooth/PA/etc. Then you won't get moved around when the crowd rushes forward and you've got a secure spot. Find/bring some stuff to stand on. It's easy to grab a couple couple cardboard boxes from the vendor and layer them on top of each other and its stable. You only need a 5" platform to make you 6'. I've also seen people bust out folding stools like this...
http://www.amazon.com/Home-quality-Folding-adults-Inches/dp/B00II67DVW/ref=pd_sim_sbs_196_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=51AadUdMwdL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0W1KTTP24ZJX8PKPRYXV
 
Basically: Find a protected area and stand on some shit (by the sound booth is your best bet and its a good view, great sound)
So, it's a bit expensive but we got a stool like this and it was so worth it for us. My 20 month old loves it. Loves being able to help at the counter, play at the sink, watch me make something, look out the window, etc. We use it daily!
I use a wobble type stool for pretty much all VR games involving player movement - it’s the perfect balance between standing and sitting if you lean it slightly forward so it forms a sort of tripod with your legs but bears most of the weight.
I can still easily swivel and lean side to side as if I’m standing, but am anchored to the center of the field of view and comfortable. It’s also great for games like firewall and farpoint because you can adjust the height so your knees are bent a bit in a slight crouch. It makes movement feel more tactical and immersive than standing upright, but also takes the load off my knees that would happen if I actually crouched.
Similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GVVQO5G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_KSxLBbXTBK9D5
You are not a bad anything and I don’t mean screaming! Orchestrate the environment so that she can safely open any drawer that she can reach and let her do so. Cleaning up after the fact is a bit of a pain, but think of it as an investment in her ability to interact with her environment (which is really what solo independent play is). As she learns to do it close to you she will eventually be able to go play with her toys nearby. (Pro tip: move the aluminum foil out of her reach, the sheer waste, my god!) You don’t have to do anything but give her the opportunity—and clean up in the short term. My walker is now 18 mo and will do some of the cleaning up herself.
With that said, and this is advice you didn’t ask for, so ignore it if it’s unwanted, we bought this foldable learning tower that I often slide over to the counter so my toddler can bang a spoon on a cutting board while I prep for dinner. If you want her to feel included while you’re cooking that might be a good answer? It doesn’t work for independent play but if it makes you more comfortable with juggling what you need to juggle it might be worth it.
There ARE specialized chairs for playing, but frankly MANY chairs can work, and those specialized ones tend to be really expensive.
A lot of people use 2-foot-tall bar stools. Fender and other companies make them. They are anywhere from about $50 to $100 for a nice, tall, vinyl-covered padded one. You can get these at like Guitar Center etc. This type of stool is also what Guitar Center provides out on the store floor for people to sit on while they try out guitars & amps:
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/lifestyle/fender-24-bar-stool
I usually practice 4-6 hours a day and do it in 1 of 2 places:
Usually, I actually sit quite low on the ground, on a plastic Rubbermaid stepstool. I've been using this same one for many years. Here's a pic:
http://i.imgur.com/RR3MDJS.jpg
I cross my legs in front of me, "Indian style," but sitting on a stool rather than directly on the floor allows me to keep better posture. Being close to the ground keeps me at ear level for my amps, and also makes it really easy to program settings on my floorboard or adjust settings on my amp, as they are within arms' reach.
If I'm not practicing there, I usually practice on my piano bench:
http://i.imgur.com/Y7iom3h.jpg
This is useful for practice sessions when I'm working on theory concepts or ear training (using the piano), or if I'm doing sight-reading or learning new material and need the built-in music stand.
We have a glider that my sister got us for my baby shower. I admit I did zero research on them, and just went "well I need a glider and this one looks good". Turns out my husband and I are too tall to sit comfortably in it for extended periods. We moved the glider into our bedroom and bought this rocking recliner for the living room. It's super comfortable and is big enough to curl up or splay out on without it taking up a huge chunk of living room. We basically only use the glider now for nights when baby is over stimulated and won't go to sleep (just sit in a dark room and rock haha)
There's a big difference between preschool toilets and regular toilets. A regular toilet won't really help her like the preschool toilets except for getting used to the flush. Don't push your home toilet for several weeks. In fact, the more you push, the more she is likely to resist. She is little. A little potty makes sense for her.
We had a seat like your link and didn't use it too much. I carried it to the park for a while, but now I just hold her while she perches on the edge of any toilet without a child seat.
We have two step stools and I wouldn't want to be without either. This one has two steps so she can easily ascend and descend even when she's really gotta go, and this one folds up small and is a little higher so she can reach the sink.
Good luck!
It’s beautiful but I agree with your friend. My LO is only 5 days old and I’ve spent more time in the glider than anywhere else. Comfort is key. Is there somewhere else in your house you can put it?
This is the one I have and it has been a dream.
I was surfing Slickdeals today and saw that glider at babies r us and came here to post about it. Looks like you already got the memo.
I went ahead and ordered one for pick up. Hopefully we can pick it up tomorrow on our way back from my 40w Dr appt, as husband is coming to this one. We already got one from Amazon of our registry that was about $300, but for $100 I can use one downstairs too. I may actually switch them as I think the recliner is a nice looking piece of furniture and would look great in the living room.
This is the one I got from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00VAS7QS0/
I second this! Baby isn't quite here yet, but we have it setup and LOVE it.
For reference
I had a less expensive two piece on my registry at first, but my mom convinced me that if I was going to splurge on something in the nursery, this would be the furniture to do it on... I have a feeling that she's right.
drawer spice rack 1
.
drawer spice rack 2
Both of these are good options with very little extra work.
.
toy organizer my son loves this. He can be asked to pick up all his cars, trains, toy animals, etc and scoot along the corresponding box. He is 2.5 so I drew content pictures on the front of the box to help him
.
undersink shelving this is way easier than building shelves to go around the pipes.mi still use bins though.
.
drawer doubler for going in drawers to hold meds, first aid supplies or makeup
I'm using this mattress, it's very comfortable and the folding ability makes it perfect for this build. I had to cut a few inches off the sides of the 2 pieces that fold over the platform extension so the drivers seat could remain in place but luckily the foam comes out of the fabric really easily. Makes washing it a breeze too!

Yard sale season is coming up, so scour your area for those. We scored a free toy storage shelves like this and this lego/train table with storage underneath - both for free on the curb in our neighborhood. I also got alphabet foam mats like this one for $10 on craigslist.
As far as stuff we paid for that I'd recommend:
I'm not sure if you're looking for toy suggestions, too, or just room design elements...
I love the rocker/recliner I got on Amazon! The recliner feature is so useful when you've just rocked a baby to sleep and you want to get more comfortable. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CCNJVDO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
Hmmmm it looks like Moroccan floor seating done with a modern design but it also looks like a mattress sofa.
Try the links they may help?

I think this is the rocker/recliner I had on my registry, but I think this is the one we were given. I wanted one that didn't have an ottoman to be in the way (or that I could cat nap in if needed), but still rocked (and also the other reasons you described). I'm glad we were given something, though, even if it wasn't what we requested! We get a lot of use out of the glider. FWIW, we currently have it in the living room, since Audrey's bedroom is upstairs but she's currently rooming with us downstairs. I don't think it looks hideous in the living room, but we also look like college kids with our hodgepodge furniture.
I don't know how well this would work but have you considered something like this? (maybe 2 of them stacked?) https://www.amazon.com/LUCID-Folding-Mattress-Removable-Outdoor/dp/B01M4NBIK6/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1486887007&sr=1-1&keywords=folding+king+mattress
This one's thicker and has better reviews but Queen is as large as they go: https://www.amazon.com/Milliard-Tri-fold-Mattress-Removable-Non-Slip/dp/B00W67PH2Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1486887084&sr=1-1&keywords=folding+queen+mattress
What if your child "helped" with food prep? Stirring, pouring liquid and dry ingredients (with your muscles), mix salad ingredients, etc. I know it would be more work for you.
Something like this could help them watch food prep and be more involved. An engaged child is going to be more motivated to eat the meal they helped with. Also they can hear you say to others, enjoy/try this ---- that "child's name" made and then maybe they will try it too.

We got this one from Amazon and 4 months in are really happy with it: Baby Relax Mikayla Swivel Gliding Recliner, Gray Linen Gray Linen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CCNJVDO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-ab7CbQNF7E8S
It’s not as fancy as the PB one, but we like it!
Here is the bookcase, I'm very happy with it. (https://www.amazon.com/Tot-Tutors-Storage-Bookshelf-Collection/dp/B000IHJF60/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1498696855&sr=8-2&keywords=kids+bookcase)
And yes, she's a mini Eskie! Our vet says she's got a little Pom in her, and that's why she's not full size.
This bookshelf for my daughter's room. . . I want to get something that isn't dangerous and as this is made mainly of fabric, it is perfect. My daughter LOOOOVES books and here is where they are for now :-)
Thanks! It's from Amazon, here's the link:
Baby Relax Mikayla Swivel Gliding Recliner, Gray Microfiber https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VAS7QS0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_TYR7ybJKXNDA0
I built nearly the same (using that ikea item) and it's not needed imho, it's quite stable already (2yo using it daily). You might want to debur/soften the edges tho.
My daughter has been using it from 1yo; early on she struggled a bit to climb in it but it's fine after a few tries. After 2 she's started trying to sit on the bar (stopped now), so it becomes a bit short relatively quickly.
If I was to make another one I would go for something with an adjustable base like that one: https://www.amazon.com/Kidzwerks-Child-Standing-Tower-Adjustable/dp/B07BMN5YDS
Drawer organizers are from IKEA, you get two large squares, two rectangles, and two small squares in a pack for like $7.99 or something. (Found them online: http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/30300281/ ) Dresser is the HEMNES from IKEA.
The chair is this one: Baby Relax Mikayla Swivel Gliding Recliner, Gray Microfiber https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VAS7QS0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_zz5Qyb39H7W52
This is the one I got I love it.
We rotate toys. The toys that don't get much love go into storage. Three months later pull them out and rotate with the others that are not interesting. For the loved and most played with toys we use an upright toy bin rack like this
We went with bigger ticket items that we knew she would need. For Christmas my 10 month old got car seats for both our cars because her infant seat wasn't a kind that transitioned. For first birthday not long after she got a kitchen helper used from craigslist. I recommend the kitchen helper so highly, she is 2.5 now and we still use it every day and will likely use it for several years to come.
We bought this tower off amazon and have been pretty happy with it. It comes flat pack. We had talked about making our own, but this was going to be cheaper than buying the wood and tools required to make it. I second the Etsy recommendation. Search for Pikler triangle and you will get a bunch of options.
Wife is 5'0". She bought this for herself for the kitchen: https://smile.amazon.com/Folding-Step-Stool-Lightweight-Bathroom/dp/B06VWPYPLP and she is happy. Folds away next to the refrigerator and out of the way when not in use
I found this that looks pretty close (In fact I think its the exact same) - http://www.uncagedergonomics.com/wobble-stool/
Also found it on amazon - US
Closest thing I've found
My ex had one. Almost bought it for one of my shorter friends at work.
Make sure that the screen is at eye-level and the keyboard can be reached when your arms are at a roughly 90 degrees angle.
Also: Standing all day long in front of a computer will probably be result in all kinds of other problems from bad posture and your feet will hurt like hell. So any good standing desk solution should also come with a good stool to support you, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Learniture-LNT-RIA3052BK-SO-Adjustable-Height-Active-Learning/dp/B01GVVQO5G/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1493662537&sr=8-2&keywords=learning+stool+learniture&th=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=ss-p02110-20&linkId=fbc61146aa94b7d61b122d1e24f08d7e&language=en_US
Probably would work, but I've heard from friends that constantly using them as a bed lowers their impact reducing ability when used as a crash pad. Might just consider a folding memory foam mattress. Similar price, similar size, here's what we bought.
I have one of these on my wish list right now: https://www.amazon.com/KidKraft-Bookcase-Reading-Nook-White/dp/B00W610EZC
Have this one and it is nice for display but doesn't even come close to holding all the kiddos' books. https://www.amazon.com/KidKraft-14221-Sling-Bookshelf-Natural/dp/B0018MCVH4/ref=pd_lpo_21_tr_t_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=4Q63Y1NPQ7T4BHCD4T49
I use this one under my desk and it works great. It's not collapsible, but it's very lightweight.
Oh...you put yours away? Silly rabbit. :X LOL. I have a couple of those thin fold up ones hidden around the house. Like in my kitchen, you know that dead space between the fridge and the cabinets? :D
Also have a daughter of 20 months so I feel your pain!! Especially now she is getting so heavy. I recently purchased a kitchen helper thing like this, and it has been so helpful at home. https://www.amazon.com/Guidecraft-15924W-Kitchen-Helper-Natural/dp/B000SQNAQC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1493245600&sr=8-3&keywords=kitchen+helper
As others have said, don't do this. It's impractical, unreasonable, and a huge liability. Relationships are about compromise. Your financée will just have to use a step stool. Buy a few folding step stools. They even come in purple!
I got it from Amazon- brand is Kidsling

Or more generically, bins on shelves. We end up using these far more than our large toy boxes. The toy boxes end up getting used strictly for thigns that don't fit in the bins.
