Baby Boy Nursery On A Very Small Budget!

    I recently had my first baby over the summer. My husband being a full time student and plans for me to stay at home with Anson, didn't leave us with a lot of money to spend on a nursery. So I had to think outside the box and take whatever freebies I could, and I took a lot!
    Let's start with the basics. The dresser we already had which was nice. It was from Ikea and is a few years old. The crib we got used. It's a vintage Jenny Lind which I love!! $50 for the crib with hardware, and mattress. We didn't have to do any refinishing due to its awesome condition. We used a changing pad on top of the dresser so we didn't have to buy a separate piece of furniture. That pad was from target, with a minky cover off of amazon. (American Baby Company $15) As for bedding, my amazing mom offered to make a crib skirt, quilt, curtains, and decorative pillow. The fabric probably ended up being the most expensive. It's not quite done, but I'll be sure to post the pictures when it is!
    Now for the details! Whenever someone was offering up old decor I tried to take it. So my aunt was getting rid of an old Crate and Barrel shelf with matching picture frames. These were originally pink so I had to refinish them. She also gave me a throw pillow that happened to match perfectly and a lamp base that matched well too. I threw on a cute lamp shade from Walmart and it was compete. A lamp to match the nursery. Basically all for free!!
    We wanted Anson's nursery to be rustic with a cabin-like feel. So i turned to my brother for some deer sheds he had laying around. They added a perfect touch.
    My lovely sisters threw my baby shower, and knowing I didn't have a lot to spend on decor, they decided to make some for the shower that also matched his room. They were included as gifts for me to take home and decorate with. It was awesome!!
    Here was one of the most fun parts!! I wanted to do a picture collage but not spend a lot of money. I searched Pinterest for woodland printables. I found a few, and with some of our own pictures sent them to Walmart to be printed. I got all the frames from Walmart as well. Some are super cheap to be honest. The most I spent was for the large Remington picture. (Hobby Lobby, 50% off) Then the hubby helped hang them all up. That wall is one of my favorite things! I also used some of my husbands stuff that always ends up in a corner as decoration too. (i.e. Cowboy hat, rope, fishing poles)  Last but not least... I refinished my pink childhood rocking chair.
    All in all, I think it has come together quite nicely, without spending too much money. Now we just need bedding to tie it all together! If anyone has questions on how the decorations were made, or where anything was from, feel free to leave a comment. I'd be glad to answer!

Happy decorating!!
