How to create a Chic nursery for under $120


Second hand is your best friend. Mis tint collection from Sherwin Williams is a gold mine. Online garage sales are a Godsend. Goodwill. Craigslist. Word of mouth.

We purchased this crib for $20 from a family member before our first child was born. Used it for him, painted it, and is now our second child's crib.
Paint we had from when we bought our home and crib we already had. $0

Dresser was an online garage sale purchase. Painted, New knobs, added legs(free thanks to my dad's craftsmanship.) $45
Shelf and wood basket were hand-me-downs.... Painted with paint we already had. $0
(Shelves like this one can also be found at the dollar store)
Changing pad and Pottery barn cover were purchased as a set from online garage sale. $10

Lamp and shade we already owned. Covered an old bumper with new fabric and made valance. Glider and ottoman found on online garage sale.

Glider/ottoman $40
Bumper/valance $10
Lamp/shade $0

Wall colors... We had a little yellow paint leftover from previously painting our bathroom. (Mistint previously purchased, $3 for a gallon).
The Gray had been previously purchased also as a mistint for $3 which we ended up using the entire gallon for the nursery.

Yellow paint $0
Gray paint $3

Mirror was a goodwill find on 50% off day.

Mirror $3.

We are all about negotiation, sales, and finding a good deal!
