Description
With the costs that come with a new baby, we couldn't afford to go crazy with our nursery, but we still wanted something beautiful and feminine for our baby girl. Almost everything in the nursery was second hand or DIY, costing a total of around $500.
Design Inspiration
I wanted to go for a beautiful and feminine shabby chic look.
Decorating Style
Girly, but not over the top.

Advice
You don't need to spend a fortune to create a beautiful nursery! Have an idea of what you want your nursery to look like and then scour Craigslist, eBay, garage sales, thrift stores, etc. to find similar items!
