WEEK EIGHTEEN: Baby Room Completed!!

BABY'S NEW ROOM IS READY TO GO----
Well, not much to be said other than HERE IT IS! 99% finished...

The last piece which my super-talented sewing-diva mother-in-law is making for us--custom bumper pads, crib skirt and drapes in dark teal--check out the fabric below!

All and all, the entire project wasn't that huge of an undertaking financially which was our goal. As we've learned, baby stores out there prey on us poor "first-timers" with their crib sets + coordinates..and everything in between. Our aim was to still bring baby home to some style but do it without breaking the bank!!

Shelving ~ IKEA; $30
Plant - Salisbury Garden Center;$40
