I've moved our nursery around a couple of times now. First I went for pretty but functional, then I went for very functional but decided it looked boring - it just didn't gel with me - so we've just moved it back to pretty. Now I'm happy

Like you, I thought it waould be more practical to have the chest of drawers next to the change table so I had easy access to singlets, jump suits, etc but I figured it won't be that hard for me to be a little more organised and have that stuff on the change table before I put bubs down. I have a nappy stacker hanging off the side of my change table and I have all the cleaning necessities on the first shelf of my change table (wipes, nappy rash cream, cotton wool balls, etc) and spew rags, towels, face washers etc on the bottom shelf.

The cot and chest of drawers look stunning together so they are the two items you see when you first walk into our nursery. I have my Gro-Egg on the chest of drawers so I will be able to see the temp of the room as soon as I peak through the door. Bubs will have a nice, dull light beside their cot that way too.

I also have a breast feeding chair and footrest on one side of the change table (with easy access to the spew rags, washes, etc) and a bookshelf on the otherside of my change table. It looks gorgeous and I think it will actually be very practical.

Good luck setting your nursery up. It's good fun and you will know when you have everything in the right spot.
