I've been cooking up a baby for about seven months now and I'm a little sad to say the nursery is almost complete. I ended up forgoing the $400 round wall shelf in favor of some cheaper Ikea wood wall brackets and saved where I could with the help of Craigslist. Time and time again I have been told by my Mom friends not to spend too much on a nursery that the baby will be growing out of before I know it. Did I spend too much of cute sheets and baby clothes, of course, how could I not. But for the crib, rocker, and rug I did some major online sleuthing and managed to get the high end look with out the price tag.
