Baby A's Nursery

When I learned I was pregnant with Baby A, I immediately began day dreaming of a sweet nursery with primary colors and simple uniqueness. I dedicated a whole board on Pinterest to it, knowing all too well we would be moving a week after he was born. We kept him in our room until he was six months old so there wasn't much of a need to set up his room when we first moved here. He began to outgrow the co-sleeper and so we started putting him to bed in the pack-n-play and honestly? That would have worked just fine, but my sweet babe often gets the shaft being the second child and all and I really wanted him to have a proper room. Our budget was low. The Cap'n would say- nonexistent, but we made it work. Would you believe I only spent $205 on his nursery, furniture and all? I used items around the house and made the bedding to cut corners. Here's the breakdown:

Crib: Walmart online $89

Changing Table: thrifted $25

Antique mobile: Etsy $15 (Antiques Galore Gal)

I already had this frame. I made the print using Microsoft Word. The bedding and bunting banner were also made by yours truly. My mom and mother-in-law had given me some beautiful fabrics that had just been taking up space in my closet until I found the perfect use for them. The cross-stitched artwork above the crib was my husband's when he was a boy, as well as the crocheted elephant mobile hanging by it. I made the yellow frame with a little fabric modge podge, mustard yellow fabric, and the cutest picture you ever did see.

Red Frame: Hobby Lobby $5.99

Above the changing table, I hung K's contribution to his brother's room. If you remember, I had him paint a masterpiece for his little bro with supplies we had already.

White frame: Target $19.99

I painted a black lamp yellow with leftover paint. The dresser drawers were mine growing up.

We also dropped $50 bucks on a new mattress, too.

I absolutely love this new space in our house. It has been a blessing to be able to change the babe in his own room where his clothes and diapers are all in one space. Before, his things were scattered about all over this house. I love rocking him in the corner and looking out at the room that was crafted in love! 

It's a special room for a sweet little boy.
