Yesterday I shared a picture tour of our little boy's nursery. But because I've already received emails asking about various items and because as a thrifter I think it's fun to know where/how much people get stuff for, here is a nursery project breakdown Young House Love style. (If you've ever wondered about something they own, their source list for each room in their house is impressive!)
I'm thrifty to my core, so you won't be surprised to find that most of his room is second-hand items.

I've had a blast these past 5 months thrifting with a baby boy in mind. And I love that so many items in his room are unique finds.
It's so much fun to thrift with a specific purpose (besides just finding fun items for my shop)!
This obviously isn't an all-inclusive breakdown but Josh and I decided that when it was all said and done we spent less than $250 for all the furniture and accessories in his room.
I think we could be on Design on a Dime. ;)
