XP (kinda) - Crib Cost

I wrote up a post on Getting Pregnant Moms about this. I'm basically wondering if you all would think it's crazy to buy this crib. It's much more than I originally planned on spending, but I'm in love with it!! It does have the option to buy the converter kits to turn it into a toddler bed or day bed, so we'd be able to get several years of use out of it. So, am I being crazy or should I go for it?

Personally, I would not. But that's just me because I am el cheapo. I got our whole nursery set for 120 bucks.
But if you love it and you have the money, then why not.

Add me to the El cheapo couch. Our crib was $120, conversion kit included. Check how much the kit is. My friends crib was another $500 for each kit. Plus mattress.

I couldn't justify an expensive crib that's gonna get chewed on, but that's me.

My sister in law loves that crib. It's not my style, but it is beautiful. I spent a ton more on my crib, so I say go for it.

I know people who've spent that much (I wouldn't because I couldn't). But, I have been told that if you buy crib now that you may want to convert, buy the convert kit now in case you can't find it later.

I was originally planning on spending about $300 on the crib, but I haven't seen anything that I like or that didn't look like every other crib for sale. H and I really want our new home to be furnished with elegant pieces that are timeless, durable, and unique. I feel like this crib has all of those qualities. I just wish it came with a smaller price tag.

I also like that I won't have to worry about chew marks or wear and tear because it's cast iron.

So I guess I'm wondering if you would go over budget for an item that you absolutely love as long as it didn't break the bank. Or would you stick to your budget no matter what?

If you really want it, do it. We spent a lot on nursery furniture and I don't regret it at all. We have this crib: http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/larkin-4-in-1-crib/?pkey=bcribs& We don't plan on converting it. We plan on having 3 or 4 kids (DH and I debating this) and using the nursery furniture for each one. When they get to be bed age, they will get their own bedroom furniture.

If you can justify the expense go for it.

We spent $999 but that included the crib (which converts an includes the kit) a dresser and changing table. We had to buy the mattress separately. And i shouldnt say we, my parents bought it.

I don't think D would let me buy an expensive crib, but if you are able to I say go for it. Especially because it is classic looking and can maybe become a family heirloom:)
