Decorating a Baby Nursery
No Need to Break the Bank
By Michael Holland
You're expecting a child and suddenly you need to find the time and the budget for creating your dream baby nursery. Before unleashing your credit cards, though, there are a few essentials you should take into consideration.
If you are determined to go with pinks and blues, you can make the look more flexible by keeping the colors pale, and then adding accent colors in bright primary colors.
You can find a large assortment of stick-on borders that are easy to remove and change as your baby grows. Look at borders with blues, yellows, lavender and sage or grass greens. Then pick up the border colors in your baby linens, lamps, curtains, mobiles and dressers.
You can paint an existing dresser in one of the border colors, and then easily repaint it when your child decides he or she has a favorite color. You can also decorate dresses with stickers or hand painted designs on the wood.
Either make or buy soft, deep seat cushions and pillows for your back in one of the colors on the wall's border. Try a print fabric with an accent color for the seat cushion, and blue or lavender solid fabrics for the backrest pillows.
