T & M

So, to start off... We started the nursery with a goal to not spend a ton of money but to make it so we could also use the "big" stuff for other babies in the future. Lets just say, we totally accomplished that!!  I think a lot of it had to do with us starting early on in the pregnancy so we could take our time and pick up on the best deals.

We decided we wanted to get a new crib so that it lasted through our future kids. This was our biggest purchase. I waited for it to go on sale so we got it for a pretty good deal!

 Tyler did an awesome job setting it up!

We then had my mom keep her eye out for a dresser because she loves going to yard sales.

She found this beauty for 5 bucks!
 The bottom needed to be glued a bit but it was an easy fix. Tyler painted it an off white color.

Next, we were on a search for a changing table. I wanted something sturdy with drawers.  After looking at yard sales and keeping an eye on KSL adds we found this one! for 15 bucks!

Next we wanted to make a Mobile for above the crib. So I went to Roberts when they had everything 50% off and bought supplies for that. This was one of our funnest projects.






Next, Tyler painted a shelf we got from the DI for 2 bucks
Tyler did an awesome job!
My mom bought some of the cute things to go on it at Hobby Lobby!



One of my biggest projects has a been making a rug for the Nursery. I went online and watched some tutorials on how to make a shag rug but, I didn't really find what I was looking for. So, I made up my own way of doing it. I picked out 4 different kinds a fabric and cut them into strips and tied them onto the grid stuff. I'm still working on it but I'm getting really close to being done!
Here's what's done so far






My mom also bought lots of flannel fabric and made me several double sided flannel blankets (aren't shown in the picture). They are going to come in so handy.
The blankets in the crib were given to me at the baby shower. The two bottom ones my mom made (from fabric from that store) and the top one is from Cindy who I use to work with. Beautiful blankets huh! I got so many things at my shower.  We are so blessed to have so much support from our friends and family.

This is the finished product.. (without the bed skirt.. it wasn't done when I took this pic)

My mom got us the mirror! I love it! and also the butterfly and flower wall decor.


My mom also got us the boxes! I put her hats in one and her bows in the other and the basket was given to me by Keltsy! Love them!
