Nursery Deets--Where I got everything!

Here are Liam's nursery project details!

I love, love, love crafting, so there's a lot in here that I just made/repurposed/designed myself, but if it can be purchased somewhere, I'll do my best to let you know where I got it!

If I forget something or you're wondering where I got/how I made a specific item, feel free to ask.

I didn't really have a specific 'budget', just that I wanted to be as thrifty as possible here. (Having a baby gets expensive, after all! I wanted to make our dollars stretch!)

By learning a few new skills--aka picking up sewing for the first time in my life, scouring Craigslist endlessly, thrifting, & shopping at discount stores (Ross, TJ Maxx, etc.) and Amazon, I was able to put this entire room together for under $500.

It definitely took a lot more time/work than just buying all brand-new, fancy things, but to me it was a labor of love + it's more unique and more my style.

 Gallery wall 

(probably my favorite part of his room!!)

All the frames here & elsewhere in the room I either got at Goodwill, or the cheap 3$ ones from Wal-Mart and then spray painted.  All together I think I spent maybe $30 on my frames.

The three red frames on the right & 'Oyster' prints I designed myself. All of them I had printed at Office Max for less than six dollars!

Feel free to contact me if you'd like any of these or something similar! (I'm still working on getting an Etsy shop up & running)

 Little 'toy' bin in corner-TJ Maxx

Dresser--Awesome Craigslist find (came as a set w/ the nightstand for 100$ all together!)

Repurposed dresser & knobs myself. 

I was going to buy new knobs, but couldn't bring myself to spend 35-40$ just on new dresser knobs. All I did was cut out circles of fabric I already had and mod-podged them to the front of the knobs. 

Chalkboard:

So I got this ugly frame on the left from Goodwill years ago, thinking maybe I'd one day use it for something...And I did! I ended up having to cut out the middle, which was just cardboard, and replaced it with a piece of plywood painted with chalkboard paint. The frame I simply spray painted. 

One other recommendation I have for being 'thrifty' is....Start buying diapers, and sign up for Amazon mom!

It's free to sign up, and you get awesome discounts on diapers/wipes in bulk when you use their 'Subscribe and Save' program. I think we have at least 6 months worth stockpiled. (Thankfully space wasn't an issue for us so we were able to do this!)

If you have a Prime membership (great to have if you live somewhere like me where you end up having to order things online a lot) you get free shipping on almost everything!

And I think that's all--

Let me know if I left anything out!!
