When we found out we were having our second baby I knew I wanted to do something fun in her nursery but I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I wanted something original, pretty, relaxing and budget friendly.

We kept the crib that belonged to our older daughter and I painted it a pretty shade of teal.  A neighbor was getting rid of a changing table and offered to give it to me for free! I paint furniture for a living and I knew a couple coats of paint could make this old furniture pretty. I mixed a custom shade of yellow and painted the changing table and side table to match. I originally wanted to paint the crib teal and the changing table coral but the coral paint wasn’t covering like I wanted. I had to improvise and go with another color which turned out to be a custom shade of yellow. It wasn’t my original vision but I love how it turned out.

I made the paper garland’s and faux embroidery hoops from supplies I had on hand. The hoops are made with diaper boxes, scrapbook paper, hot glue and ribbon. I also wanted a one of a kind crib skirt. I have no clue how to sew so I found tutorials online and made a no-sew crib skirt.

I think everything came together beautifully and it was all done without breaking the bank.
