You guys, we are so close to having the nursery done! All I have left to do is hang art and make/hang curtains. Considering where we started, we’ve come a long way. We recently got a new piece of furniture for the room and I am so excited about it! Check out the world’s most comfy (and pretty) nursery glider: The Custom Habersham upholstered glider from Home Decorator’s Collection.
We still have our old glider from when the boys were babies, and although it’s a little worn and could use a good cleaning, we will use that one in our bedroom as a backup. I chose this new glider because I wanted something stylish, comfortable, and something that could transition from being a nursery piece to something we can use in another area of our home later on. I ordered this one in the “Zanzibar Dove” color — a really pretty, neutral gray. It’s part of Home Decorators Collection’s new baby and children’s line called Spencer & Gracie.
There are a few reasons I love this glider. First of all, I love that it doesn’t look like a typical nursery glider. It’s a piece of furniture we can use even after the baby phase is over, so it’s a great investment. It fits in with our home’s decor and we can put it in a living space without it screaming, “Hey! I’m a nursery glider!” I also love the texture of this particular fabric and the fact that the chair swivels. Oh, and I love that it’s the most comfortable chair ever. When it was delivered to our house, it sat in our entryway for a few hours until Chris came home and carried it upstairs. I sat down in it, and I literally dozed off for a bit right there by the front door. Yes, I was exhausted that day, but it really was just that comfy.
One word of advice if you choose to order this glider — order it early! Each one is custom made (in the USA, by the way!) and takes about 8 weeks to be delivered. It’s well worth the wait though. Also, there are several different fabric options to choose from.
I’m still playing around with rearranging things and finishing everything up, but the finish line is so close!
You can check out past nursery posts here, here, here, here, here, and here. I hope to have the room finished in the next week or so (considering my due date is in 2 weeks and my other two babies were each a few days early!), and I look forward to sharing lots of photos soon.
UPDATE: You can see the finished nursery reveal here.

Erin @ DIY on the Cheap says
Thanks Debbie! I’ve been sitting in it plenty and baby isn’t even here yet! 🙂
Carrie says
I love it! I wish I had a glider like this when my daughter was a baby !
Erin @ DIY on the Cheap says
Thanks Carrie! I wish I’d had it when my boys were babies too, but definitely happy to at least have it now for my third (and final!) baby!
Nancy says
Erin, it is beautiful. Love that your nursery is so classy. You will love this chair. I have a swivel rocker and it is the most sat on chair in the house!! Two weeks to go, so excited for you and your family!!
Erin @ DIY on the Cheap says
Thanks so much Nancy!
Kim @ Sand & Sisal says
I love your nursery! The rocker is so pretty too. I need a new one for our home.

Thank you Kim!

That last picture looks so cozy!

Thanks Jae!
Katie says
Oh my it’s gorgeous! I never realized how much and how important it was to have a good glider. We bought a used one on Craigslist. Big mistake… Hardly any cushion and squeaks! Jon has to oil it weekly. In hindsight if I could change anything about the nursery I would not have been so cheap and invested in a good cushiony glider!
Erin @ DIY on the Cheap says
Thanks Katie! I lived in the glider for the first year of each of my boys’ lives, so our old one is quite worn out. I knew I wanted something comfy since I always spend so much time rocking my babies and sitting in it to nurse!
Andrea says
Love the color. It looks very comfy.
Erin @ DIY on the Cheap says
Thanks Andrea!
Shannon @ Fox Hollow Cottage says
Such a pretty, soothing color. Perfect for lulling baby to sleep. And mommy too 😉
Erin @ DIY on the Cheap says
Thank you Shannon! I’m sure I’ll be dozing off in the chair often. 🙂
Abbie from Lovin' Our Chaos says
Love how beautiful gliders are now these days. I wish I could have had one like yours, that DIDN’T scream BABY ROOM!!
Erin @ DIY on the Cheap says
Thanks Abbie! Gliders have definitely come a long way over the past few years!
Jenna says
I love the glider, Erin! I am so jealous too – I had an ugly one – so wish I would have had something more like this!
Erin @ DIY on the Cheap says
Thank you Jenna!

Amy Anderson says
I LOVE gliders – this one is pretty because it’s not just for a nursery! Good choice!
Erin @ DIY on the Cheap says
Thank you Amy!
Christina @ The Frugal Homemaker says
Love the glider Erin! I am going to have to check out their regular chairs because I have been looking for a chair just like that (but not necessarily a glider) for our living room. Can’t wait to see the whole nursery. Loving that poof too!
Erin @ DIY on the Cheap says
Thanks Christina! They have lots of beautiful furniture to choose from. Hope you find something you like!
Erica says
Love the glider! I have been looking for something similar. How is it working now that you’ve been able to use it? I’m worried about it being too short…was this an issue for you? Thanks so much!
Erin Spain says
Thanks Erica! I really love it. I am short myself (5’3″) so I don’t notice it being too short, personally. My husband sits in it fine too. It’s very comfortable!
Amy Littler says
Hi. I can’t find a link to this glider online? Do you know of one?? Thanks much!!
Erin Spain says
Hi Amy! It came from Home Decorators Collection, and their furniture is now available through Home Depot, so you could check there! Not sure if they still have this exact one, but worth a try!
