Personalized Kids Room on a Budget, We were able to put the finishing touches on the room with a custom made name decal from Right on The Walls http://www.rightonthewalls.com

, Kids' Rooms
Bennett's Bright Room, The Ronan bedding from Serena and Lily was my jumping off point.  I loved the green paint--daring for me., Kids' Rooms
Girl's Room on a Budget, Almost everything in our 7yr old daughters room was purchased from Target or Craigslist.  , Kids' Rooms
Baby Jayelle's Nursery, My husband and I bought our first house when I was 6 months pregnant (I'm at 38 weeks now! = ) ) so you can imagine money was tight. My strategy was buy absolutely nothing until after the shower so that I only buy what I really need. Even after the shower gifts still trickled in from people who couldn't attend, out of towners, online purchases, etc. So once all arrived and I saw the holes I found ways to fill them on a budget. 

Take a look at how at came out

Decor wise - only the crib and the nursery bedding set were new. I bought the rocker/gilder & the toy storage bench on Craigslist. Took some spray paint and clearance fabric from Walmart to give them a facelift. 

Also, the curtains I bought in plain white from Kmart and gave them the same Walmart fabric treatment. And the wall decor I made using a pack of cardboard flowers as stencils. It was a pack of 12 for less than $3. I used them as a template for the paintings and the fabric cutouts, then painted the cardboards and stuck them on the walls as well. 

The shelf was a lucky find on the street outside my neighbors house with a "free" sign. A little spraypaint, some shower gifts on top. 

And as for her name I skipped Babies R Us' $6 per letter option (Jayelle has way too many letters for that) and opted instead for a pack of foam sheets from Walmart for $5. I printed letters at home, used them as stencils and cut them out of foam. 

The dresser/changing table was a hand me down that spray paint and $6 worth of new fixtures, and some leftover ribbon from a shower gift spruced up very nicely. 

If you want to do it cheap, this is my suggestion. And I have to say, I'm still very proud of how it turned out. =), Kids' Rooms
a little whimsy, My little girls, little nursery. I hand painted the flowers and choose colors that were muted yet pretty. Then I add lots of friends. , Kids' Rooms
Chic Teen Room, My daughter wanted a room makeover for Christmas and this is what I came up with.  I used a few things that she already had and added new bedding and some new accessories., Kids' Rooms
