It looks like the carport area has now been fenced off into a side yard/ patio area. I'm wondering why they got rid of it, and where they park in the winter in Denver? On the street? That would be difficult with the snow they get there...

It is insane to spend that much money on a dresser/ changing table. First of all, the pulls on that piece look like they could cause some serious dents in a toddler's head, and you really want to spend that amount for something your kid is shortly going to be banging on with a toy wooden hammer and coloring all over? It would be much wiser to just buy a quality vintage dresser from Craigslist, and add on one of the generic changing pads that just screw/ snap on the back of any dresser. By the time my kids were 8 months old, they were too wiggly to change on a table anyway, so you end up just changing them on the floor.
What people buy before they have kids is SO different from what you really need once you have them! Oh well, live and learn... Good luck.

As far as functionality goes.. there is one plus: a padded dresser might be nice in avoiding a baby/ toddler bump or bruise here and there. However, everything in a baby's room/ home gets dirty... Poop, pee, puke, boogers, crayons, dirty sticky fingers with who-knows-what, etc... this dresser would be impossible to clean without just removing the padding... what a pain! NOT functional!

A mom of 18 month old twins

Thank you for sharing this pretty room! It's great to see such a beautiful room put together in a small space. You have great ideas that are very helpful and inspiring for those of us that also have small nursery spaces.
