Baby’s Perfect Nursery on a Budget

Ahhhh I go back to work fulltime next week and it’s completely scary. I have NO idea where the time has gone. My sweet little Finley will be 3 months old. Her nursery is finally done and I’m hoping to transition her over to her crib in a few weeks. I’ve kept her in our room since I’m such a nervous mommy I like to lean over every few hours to make sure she is ok. She is sleeping much better now, thank goodness. I’m hoping we will be down to only one feeding during the night so I’m not a complete zombie at work. There is so much I want to share, but finding the time to take pictures, write a post and share has been non-existent. So please bare with me in my mommy transition. (Please excuse the post photos too, they aren’t the best. Between my camera being dirty and pics from the phone, it was what it was haha).

Finley’s nursery is a fabulous mix of big sister furniture, repurposed pieces, thrift/yard sale finds, and new purchases.

Here are the before pictures. The crib, mobile, and glider were from Hartley’s room. The wall paint color was leftover from our main level . It is Sherwin Williams Versatile Grey.

The diaper changing table was a yard sale find for $10. I chalk painted and added cute little rose knobs. I also added a mix of thrift store baskets and ones I found from Homegoods. The mirror above the changing table was a $5 thrift store find. The changing pad cover and bedding set are from Target. I also have the matching muslin swaddle blankets which are my absolute favorite for everyday use. The large floral art piece above the crib is from Target as well. The other wall art is all from Hobby Lobby with the unique canvas wreaths and baby announcement door wreath I created mixed in. Ohhh and the fabulous hanging light pendent is from Joss & Main.

The blue dresser was a free hand-me-down from my mother. If you follow my Instagram stories you saw sweet Hartley painting this with free leftover paint samples mixed with baking soda for a DIY chalk paint mix.

Hope you all love my nursery. Do you have a favorite piece or idea? Will you repurpose or shop secondhand for your little one?
