Baby's Room on a Budget
Saturday January 10, 2009
A new nursery doesn't have to break the bank. Your child will be growing in leaps and bounds and even though many parents enjoy putting together a new baby's room, babies are pretty easy to please in the decorating department. You can put together stimulating artwork yourself with inexpensive materials rather than buying lots of color-coordinated prints that you'll probably be taking down as your child grows and takes more of an interest in her own space. Remember, too, that safety is one of the most important factors in a baby's room. Keep it simple and take advantage of some of these nursery decorating ideas.

Paint is one of the most inexpensive ways to “spruce” up your nursery…inexpensive decals for babies wall can look cute and as baby grows older, they can easily be removed! I found that the cribs that converted to beds were not such a good investment- teething took care of that!
Baby registries are a good way to get what you want and not break the bank.
A group of co-workers or friends can chip in $10-$20 and it soon adds up. Don’t be shy, let them know which baby gate will work on your stairs (not all work on wrought iron rails which were populare in the 70’s)
