Comments (11)My DS's room is not brand new or coordinated at all. I'm a BIG believer in re-using and re-cycling things. I have a second hand crib, dresser, changing table and carved oak wardrobe. Paid $150 for ALL of it. I have refinished all the pieces so that they look nice. I have a really comfy upholstered rocking chair I got at one of those half-off of half-off sales. Paid $100 for it. Got a bookcase for free, from a school that my husband and I volunteered at. They were getting new furniture, and this one particular bookcase was going to be tossed out. They gave it to me, and I brought it home and fixed it up. As far as wall decor....I got some cool peel-n-stick things that have all kinds of fun, colorful images....bumblebees, snails, spiders, flowers, ladybugs. I can peel them off the wall and move to another location, if I want. $4 at the DIY (do it yourself) store in town. The curtains I got in a second hand shop. They are designer curtains (lined and everything) that have sailboats, stars and moons, houses, airplanes... They look awesome, and I paid about $15 for them. I went to some shops in town around Christmas, when they had all their xmas displays in the windows. I asked them what they were going to do with those decorations after the holidays. Most had plans to re-use them again next year, but one shop had extra decorations and just GAVE me some. What they are, are pieces of cardboard that have different colored metallic surfaces....purple, red, blue, green. They were hanging down - about 8 pieces of cardboard to each strand - in the display window, and made cool, different colored patterns on the clothes when they reflected the light. I took them home, and shortened them - 4 to a strand - and hung them from the ceiling in DS's room, near the window. The reflected patterns on the ceiling and walls are so neat, and DS LOVES to watch them. Again, the shop gave those to me, because I had the nerve to ask, so they were FREE. Other things - sheets for the crib (I have 4 sets), the rug -I got on sale (like, MAJOR sale) for a grand total of $40. So...all totaled (minus my own labor and refinishing materials), my kid's room cost me $309.00 . I had to squeeze all the work around my full-time job at the bank, but I considered it a labor of love....See MoreMy century home looks like a baby's nursery! please help!
Comments (2)Actually, I've never liked the yellow since I did it - it was on the advice of my designer, and I've had to change her whole colour scheme room-by-room since it made the place feel depressing...I thought I'd start with the living room with the blue and add a complimentary colour to the adjoining room after I got a feel for the blue. I do have a green chip up on the wall similar to what you describe..been leaning that way as well, but I'm afraid the whole front of the house will feel too cool then...I'll post in decorating like you suggest :) Thanks...See MoreNeed help with furniture placement in baby girl's nursery!

Comments (5)Do you need that tall white armoire, since you already have the built-in drawers and the large closet? If yes, then I would put the tall dresser where the head of the bed is now. If there is room, I would put the crib on the wall you first suggested, between the window and the built-ins. I would get a changing pad for the top of the built-in and use that as the changing table. It will be very convenient in the middle of the night when you are sleepy to just move to the left and change her, rather than taking her into the bathroom. I would try the rocker and ottoman in the corner where the windows meet. A perfect place to sit with the baby. Congrats on the new addition!...See MoreGrand baby's Nursery
Comments (51)I guess I have posted too many picture this month so now they are being held hostage by photobucket. I don't have time now to fix the issue but I guess they will reappear at some point in time. Meanwhile I want to thank everyone for your congratulations and formyou compliments. As I held my grandaughter today, I was thinking of that day 29 years ago that I first held her mother. I truly have been blessed and I am so grateful. Sorry but I just can't resist posting one more picture...See MoreSweet Pi
