The theme:
"Everything got going when I found the neutral colors of the Pottery Barn Kids Chamois Lambie. I loved it," says Karen. "Then I found out it was being discontinued that very day! We ran to the local PBK store and bought all the bedding on sale."
The project:
"It took about four months to put everything together," says Karen. "The cherry furniture was on sale, and the glider we found in the clearance room at Ashley Furniture. Other accents we added little by little. Brian painted the mural in a weekend. He is far from artistic, but he found a picture online, blew up the image on the wall with an overhead projector, traced it, and then painted. He also did a complete redesign of the closet using ClosetMaid shelf tracking. The nursery is small (about 10 by 14 feet) and the closet is about 10 by 2 feet, so it was important to add more shelving to such a narrow space. Then Brian put in new laminate wood flooring after tearing up the old carpet. He really didn't plan that much beforehand, but was able to complete each project in a weekend -- with many trips to Lowe's for parts."
The budget:
About $3,350. The closet was a hidden high cost at $350, but the mural was cheap at $25.
