| 18-10-2009 - Nursery Room | My mood while writing this blog:\'ok\' |
Well it took me 7 months to get hubbies ass in gear... (he hates the finishing of projects) but I finally did it with some positive reinforment, encouragement and down right bitching.. lol.. We are almost finished Charlea's room, we have a before and after shot on my page. still have some finishing touches but all the hard stuff I needed him for is complete... Releif! Im a go getter,, getter done is what I say.. he is a procrastinator.. see my dilemma... lol Anyway Im very pleased with him and the room. We managed to do the whole room, furniture, paint, boarder, chair rail, change table,car seat, stroller, rocking chair, stool, drapes, and 1 year worth of clothes for UNDER $700.00 canadian! goes to show him how thrift shoping and being organized and having a plan can really work for you in the long run. The most expensive thing we paid for was the Nursery bedding, we ordered form USA and in total cost 340.00 CND... shipping was the expensive part at 150.00 but the goup of 12 pc's was only 230.00 bucks.. We just cant get that here in Canada... not for that price.. the rest was generously donated from friends who have just had babies ( crib ) and the Dresser we had and clothes and such all purchased second hand off Fijiji.com. We re-finished the rocker I had from my son from 14 years ago, used an old computer desk for a change table..spruced it up to look nice, took a step stool from Ikea and painted it white ( it was light wood ) & we just have to refinish the cushions for the rocker, only thing I can think of that we need is a white wooden lamp base for our lamp shade... mabey I'll find that at Walmart... there is our storey, perhaps it will help to motivate someone and show you can make beautiful on a budget!! Happy decorating and Baby Love to you all!!
