Our furniture is made to last a lifetime so it only makes sense that we (finally!) introduce cribs that not only last a lifetime, but grow and change over your child’s lifetime. We are proud to introduce two new designs–the Panel Conversion Crib and the Cape Cod Conversion Crib! Each crib is available in any of our gorgeous finishes and will convert to a toddler bed, headboard-only full-size bed and complete full bed with headboard and footboard. Photos and pricing of our conversion kits will be available soon.
When Pockets and Cristy Alvarez decided to start manufacturing children’s furniture in Southern California, there was no debate about style. They wanted to recreate their own personal lifestyle for children…California, Coastal, Cottage. What is Cottage style? Cottages were typically vacation homes–relaxed, comfortable, homey with a mix of old and new. Cottage style is all about relaxing with family and friends. Relaxed style and impeccable quality were most important to Pockets and Cristy when starting the line. Newport Cottages is bench-made from solid hardwoods in the U.S. Finishes are hand-rubbed and distressed to achieve a slightly aged and weathered look. Little “imperfections” are not structural defects but intentional, meant to make the pieces look perfectly at home with well-loved vintage and antique furniture. We like to think our furniture tells the beginning of a story that you and your family will tell for years to come.

My sister-in-law is pregnant with her first baby. As the family baby furniture expert, I invariably get asked “What do I need?” We are eagerly awaiting the gender so we can start planning her nursery. And to answer her question? It is my feeling that every nursery should have a crib, a changer/dresser, a bookcase, a glider/rocker/chair and a side table. From there, layer on bedding, artwork, lighting and rugs. Add the miscellaneous gear and décor pieces to your registry. (Your family and friends are dying to by you presents for the new baby. Register at a great local boutique and a big box store to give everyone a good selection from which to choose. And, your parents want to help you out with the big stuff. Let them…and say thank you. This is what grandparents are for.)
When shopping for nursery furniture, especially when shopping for the first baby, ask yourself a few things:
Our cribs, for example, convert easily into toddler beds with the addition of our toddler guard rail kit. 
(Look for more options in this category from us soon!) This buys you up to 5 years or so with your crib. Our dressers, like our best-selling Taylor Changer Dresser, are made to last a lifetime and can easily transition into the big kid room. Any dresser of a comfortable height, usually 32” to 36” for most people, can be used as a changer with the addition of a changing pad. Most changing pads include hardware that allows them to attach to almost any dresser top.
If you plan to pass the nursery furniture to the next baby, consider neutral colors and styles that could work for boy or girl. Don’t be afraid of white for boys—it’s crisp and modern. I love our Ricki Crib for either gender. Simply change the fabric on the panels for a whole new look.
When choosing a style for your nursery, you’ll find the options endless. Modern is certainly hot right now. If you prefer a cleaner look, the Cody Crib, shown above, is perfect for a modern nursery. I love the Celine Crib for a more traditional look.
Color can also transform a room. Bright colors like our new Orange Juice and Bahama Blue can give a modern edge to a more traditional crib, like our Cape Cod Crib. White furniture is always crisp and clean. Vanilla Bean or Cream is a perfect choice for a more vintage-style nursery. Keep in mind that dark colors take up more space visually whereas light colors can open up a small space.
Measure your room before you go shopping. Many boutiques, like our Fashion Island store in Newport Beach, offer complimentary in-store design service. Their design staff can help you draw out your room and determine the best placement of furniture. Don’t forget to make room for storage pieces like our Poet’s Bookstand or our Toy Chest. Tiny humans come with a lot of stuff!
I hope these tips will help you plan out the perfect nursery for your new arrival. Let us know if we can help!
Best,
Cheyenne
We are committed to safety here at Newport Cottages. As you know, our cribs and bunk beds meet or exceed all current federal safety standards. However, we’ve made some changes to our bunk beds to stay ahead of impending changes to federal safety standards for bunk beds. Right now, it is recommended that bunk beds no longer have finials of any kind. We have eliminated the finials from all our bunks.The only bunk we have not changed is the Turned Post Bunk. Like cribs, the posts are fine as long as they are more than 16″ high. It is still recommended that a child be at least 6 years old before they sleep on a top bunk. We want kids to have fun on their Newport Cottages bunks, but stay safe, as well.
