Help me pick our furniture color! w/ Poll

I can't pick! We need to get our order in I am 24 weeks now. I am also torn b/c they come w/ different handles for the dresser. We are just getting the crib, and the double dresser for now b/c we are still renting a condo. If we get our house soon enough I am also going to get the tall dresser, and the nightstand. The white set comes with hanging metal handles, and the black set comes w/ clear crystal knobs.

TIA!!!!

eta: When we move I am going to do the nursery w/ purples for Chat Icon

The black is stunning and I'm drawn to it.
But for a baby girl's room- I'd go with white.

Re: Help me pick our furniture color! w/ Poll

I'm going with purple for a Chat Icon in the nursery as well. I'm having the hardest time find crib bedding masculine enough for a boy. The room in already painted, and we have yet to decided on the furniture finish. Sinc eyour having a girl I think white will be best especially if you decided to use some lavendar hues...GOOD LUCK...

Re: Help me pick our furniture color! w/ Poll

Honestly, I think you could go either way.

Question that might help you decide-- if you have another DC, and specifically a DS, would you want to use the same furniture or get new things for the new baby? If you'd use the same, perhaps you'd prefer one color over the other if the sex of your next child is different. Just a thought.

I voted white. It just looks so adorable. But I too would ask about getting the crystal handles. Or trying installing them yourself afterwards if you really like the crystal.

Re: Help me pick our furniture color! w/ Poll

Both r nice. Personally I went w/ an antique/distressed white. I read a lot that the white stays better b/c on darks the nicks and scrapes show up big time.

I do think both are gorgeous, however, since you are having a girl, I think the white is so classy!!!!

I like both but I think it would depend on the bedding. Do you have that picked out yet?

As nice as black is, just remember that every single tiny particle of dust will show up on it!!!! Ever have a black car? If not then check out some black cars when you are out tomorrow lol You'll change your mind!

Re: Help me pick our furniture color! w/ Poll

Thank you all for your opinions. The furniture is by Munire it is the Savannah collection, they have it at Behr's on LI in both colors. I feel the same as you ladies mentioned about the black getting nicked easier and it getting dusty. That makes me lean more towards the white. I wish we could just do something to switch the handles but they can't I asked. Also the white handles hang & have two holes drilled into the drawer, the black crystal are knobs so it is just one hole. So I couldn't even switch them out myself. I think I am leaning towards the white, even though I also love the black. Also we plan to just keep this as Chat Icon furniture so we will buy a new set for the next Chat Icon
