Nursery

Okay, it's still not done. I have to finish making the artwork and hanging up some letters... and I wanted to make a leaf mobile... yeah, and a dozen other things that will probably never happen. :) So here's the little guy's room so far.

We tried really hard to keep it cheap - but I still probably spent too much considering how decorated the rest of our house is. Oh well, it was fun. Here's a little breakdown, just for the sake of us remembering:

• Crib - gift from Mama & Papa Payne!
• Dresser, shelving tower, 2 white shelves on wall, and lamp - $85 as a bundle on Craig's List! (Yes, I feel like we stole from them! Such a good deal.)
  
• New lampshade - $15 from Ikea
  
• Rocker - $35 on Craig's List, fabric to recover was $40 = $75
• Curtains - $10 from Ikea
• Valance - DIY, fabric was $16
• Birdcage - $15 on Etsy
• Big stuffed bird - homemade by my Mom
  
• Baskets - $20 from Ikea
• Nightstand - $30, half off from Ikea's "as is" section
• Owl Nightlight - $25 from Urban Outfitters, can you tell I splurged on silly things?
  
• Frames - 50% off at Hobby Lobby, I think about $40 for the big one and three small ones.
  
• Bedding - $40 on Ebay. Really, we're only using the bumper, so wasn't such a good deal in hindsight.
  
• Ottoman for rocker - $18 from Walmart
• Paint for walls (Benjamin Moore Gray Horse), molding, and spray paint - $50
  
• Little nicknacks - under $10 from the thrift store and Joanns.

Total: $429

Sorry Blogger is lame so these pictures are not in order.

Finn's pajamas match the bumper. He insisted he be part of the decor. :)
