Nursery Decor Update
I'm all about doing things on the cheap.
Today I took scrapbook paper and whipped up some simple & cheap wall art. I found coordinating papers that had the same colors as my crib sheets. (Hobby Lobby, 60 cents) I cut out some simple flower and butterfly patterns and used good ole' rubber cement to apply them. The frames were old ones I already had.
Again, nothing fancy and nothing to brag about. But, it's cheap & adds some color to the room...
I also covered some letters in matching paper. The letters were cardboard (Hobby Lobby $2.50) and I used Modge Podge to glue the paper on. Here is the last initial. I can't show you the first initial yet since the baby's name is a secret!
I also found a rug that matched (Meijer $25). The rug was my big splurge but quite necessary to cover the dirty-white Berber carpet.
The Christmas Tree Shoppes had these little bookcases on the cheap too (the small one was $19.99). They have scalloped edges and lattice on the sides. One shelf will probably end up in Kennedy's room.
I also got this wall cubbie for $12.99 at the Christmas Tree Shoppes (Have you been there!? What don't they have?). I think I'll put some of the extra scrapbook paper behind the cubbie holes to add some excitement and carry out the theme colors better.
And, finally, I'll find a place in the nursery for this mirror. I got this a long time ago at a garage sale ($5) and never found a home for it. Today is this mirror's lucky day.
I've ordered a simple cherry dresser from Walmart as well and it will double as a changing table. I really wanted to find a used dresser but found nothing.
So, there you have it. It's not as thrifty as I would normally like but with I've tried to keep it somewhat low budget! Now all we need is a baby!
