Argington is proud to be part of the Heigl family’s nursery.  Naleigh will be spending her first couple years snuggled up in the Sahara crib and will be getting those inevitable diaper changes in the Sahara changing table.

We’ve raved in the past about Argington’s Sahara collection and the incredible Uffizi bunk bed, but the new more delicate Bam line is our favorite yet. The ebony finish shown below is gorgeous, but these beauts are also available in bamboo and white. (Sold through Fawn&Forest.)

Argington Bam Collection, eco-friendly nursery, eco-friendly furniture, eco-friendly cribs, convertible cribs

Argington won Inhabitat’s BKLYN Designs ‘Best Kids Design’ Award in May and it hasn’t slowed down since. Argington has just announced the launch of its Bam Collection, a 10-piece nursery furniture line designed by husband and wife team Jenny Argie and Andrew Thornton to embody the grace of the art nouveau movement. Made from solid birch and birch ply wood (for ebony and white finishes), or solid bamboo wood, and certified to be free of formaldehyde emissions, the Bam Collection includes everything you need to outfit your bambino’s suite, including a bassinet, crib, changing table, wardrobe, and dresser

To keep up with your baby’s growth spurts—and save some cash for the college fund—you can also purchase additional conversion kits that transform your bassinet into a crib, and your crib into a toddler bed. If you love a bargain (and who doesn’t?), Argington is offering its bassinet, crib conversion kit, and changing table for $984. Available for pre-order, the Bam Collection will begin shipping in November.

Bam!

And that, my friends, is how you sell a bassinet in a depression.

Argington just announced their newest, greenest, and cheapest nursery furniture ever, and I think it might just rock. The Bam Collection is available in birch or solid bamboo. It’s simple, almost traditional, even, but it’s got smooth, modern details, and I expect it has a nice, high-quality finish and feel. [The first chance to kick the slats will be in a couple of weeks at the ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas, stay tuned.]

The Bam bed system is modular, so the crib actually starts out as a bassinet, which converts to a crib. Then there’s a second, separate kit for converting it to a toddler bed. Which sounds needlessly complex, perhaps, but it’s really a smooth pitch which reverses the kind of financial jiu jitsu that always haunts the discussion of buying a bassinet–an iconic, often expensive piece of baby furniture whose useful life can be measured in weeks.

The so-called Nursery Value Pack knocks the price of the bassinet [$359] plus the crib conversion kit [$329], down to the price of the crib itself [$585]. So really, you could just imagine you’re getting a nice deal on a crib, with the bassinet thrown in for free. And that frees you up to argue over whether you need a changing table. [If I had to choose, I'd rather get the dresser, below].

The lowest prices are for the two natural birch finishes–white and ebony, which really looks browner than black to me]. But I’m a sucker for bamboo, and even with a $200/pc. premium, it’s still the best price I’ve ever seen for solid bamboo nursery furniture.

Anyway, it all looks sweet; Argington’s even added a shopping cart to their website, so you can order it right now for mid-November delivery.
