My friend Sarah, the designaholic (although she's certainly not in denial about that fact), took the time to put together various design elements to produce a fabulous nursery for MJ. As we all know, the more money you're able to spend the more fabulous your designs can be - generally speaking of course. The good majority of us however live on a budget and have to be somewhat realistic in our design choices. As much as I would LOVE to just snap my fingers and have all of Sarah's findings make themselves at home in MJ's nursery - well, it just ain't gonna happen - I can quickly hang that one up. But I have decided to challenge myself by following Sarah's design as closely as possible only finding budget friendly alternatives. Here are the main components that Sarah chose:
Rubie Green East Village fabric
rubiegreen.com
rubiegreen.com
scalloped mirror
pbteen.com
pbteen.com
The grand total of this nursery design is roughly $3500 - and this excludes the extra accessories. I wouldn't be able to afford to give birth to MJ if I threw down that kind of money for her nursery. Luckily, we already have the crib and the dresser which Sarah included in her mock up. I've already acquired a few alternative pieces, but I will reveal the budget friendly nursery in its entirety when I have completed my search.
Let's also keep in mind that Evan's big boy room is currently underway too - so I can't put enough stress on the word budget. Not to mention the guest bedroom. The rest of the house is somewhat in order - needs some more accessories here and there, but the major components are there.
OK - it's on.

you forgot the driving force behind the concept which was the giraffe print but we know thats out. So back to the birdhouse idea over the crib and that Serena & Lily lounger can be the Tullsta on rockers?
Yeah, the giraffe is definitely out, but I do like the birdhouse idea as an alternative. Not sure if I can pull off the rocker conversion. I don't have the proper tools and Robert's step-dad said it's definitely doable, but harder than one might think. I found another chair that I think will work.
