Mila's Room

Mila's room is by far my favorite room in our house! I get a ton of questions from friends about where I purchased certain items, so I decided I would share my finds with everyone.

I have been dreaming of a turquoise striped nursery for years! And I gave my special birthday twin everything I would want in my room...and I literally gave her most of my childhood belongings!


 Wooden Monogram from here, Spray painted gold
 Pillow case sewn by a friend with the crib skirt fabric, stuffed animal from my aunt, and crib sheet from Candy Kirby Designs.
 Decorations were mine! Most of the books were hubby's and some were gifts.

 The bear basket was mine! And the shoes were a gift from a friend.
 I LOVE this crib sheet! And the quilt was sewn by a friend who used the white fabric from her hubby's grandma (either grandma or great-grandma). Vintage + Modern = in love!
 The cutie is mine hehe! The crib was this stud's crib from Carter's. The crib skirt was sewn by a friend, fabric is Michael Miller Textured Basics Shoreline Stripe Salmon from here.
 Dresser was a craiglist steal! I found it the weekend I found out I was pregnant, and I was praying for a GIRL! The Snow White poster was mine, and I bought a plain wooden frame 50% off at Hobby Lobby and spray painted it antique white. The smaller Snow White photo was mine from Disney World, original frame was spray painted antique white. Large gold frame is from Hobby Lobby 50% off, and image is from Deep Roots Shop. Circle frame is from Hobby Lobby, and the letter M is a cardboard letter from Hobby Lobby that I spray painted light pink. Small gold frame is from Ikea, and I designed the image.
 The pink bucket is from the dollar spot in Target, and I added a gold heart I made with my silhouette cameo. The gold confetti stickers are from Walls Need Love. (one package of the 2" gold dots)
 These curtains are my FAV! My sweet friend (who sewed everything in this room) also made these lovely curtains from this fabric.
 Wall paint is Benjamin Moore: Decorators White and Barely Teal (light tiffany blue in person) in Pearl Finish.



 The bookcase is from Ikea, and I spray painted it gold (same paint as the monogram). The rug is from Ikea.
 These are my dolls, and the texture book is from Sarah from Deep Roots Shop.
 I made the banner letters with my silhouette cameo, and my friend made the tassels.
 The pink dress was my baby dress. The 3 owl hooks are from World Market. And I made the wall art with my silhouette cameo.

 The nightlight was custom made from K and K Engravings in Dallas, TX.

 This sweet Proverbs 31:30 is my prayer for Mila, and can be purchased from Deep Roots Shop!

 My princess loves her room!
 And big brother does too!
And, I think I love Mila's room the most!

{Budget Nursery}: Finished Nursery

Caleb is here, and it's time to reveal pictures of his finished {budget friendly} nursery! Let's recap all the expenses for the nursery first:

Total cost for our thrifty furniture finds: $202.43
Total cost for paint: $114
Total cost for nursery decor: $85.93

Additional costs:
Crib bedding {fabric + paying a friend to sew}: $160
Shelf brackets {Ikea floating shelf kept falling down--bummer}: $10

Nursery Grand Total: $572.36

{the crib was a gift, but found on sale for $179.99, and the mattress was a gift--would have cost $90}

My cheap frugal Hubby is so very proud of my budget friendly nursery! Even if we didn't receive the crib and the mattress as a gift we would of spent only $842.35 total....under $1000 for a room design! Happy dance! I still can't believe after going over the receipts that we only spent $572.36 on the nursery...that's how much some people spend on a crib!!! I guess my Hubby is right {sshh, don't tell him!}, being frugal can be fun!

This is what $572.36 can buy:




When I was first describing to my Hubby how I wanted to decorate Caleb's nursery he didn't like any of my ideas, but now that it's complete Hubby says it's his favorite room in the house {I guess I'm right on that one!}!

Happy budget designing, thrifty finding, and frugal shopping to all you friends out there!
