Skye's Boho-Themed Nursery

I am so excited to finally post pictures of our little girl's nursery. Since we live in military housing, it can be difficult to really make your house into a home especially knowing that we are up for a move sometime within the next year. However, I'm growing to love a more minimal look and am embracing white walls and less clutter. I also didn't want to spend a ton of money on her nursery since I know that this is more for me than anything. I'm happy to say that it turned out better than I imagined and almost everything I bought was either thrifted, gifted or heavily discounted. It's been a slowwwww process of curating random items but it's been fun piecing it all together. Everything was based off the vintage crib sheet I had made for her and centered around the idea of an earthy, bohemian atmosphere. Take a look at the pictures and let me know what you think!I got the wooden chair at a thrift store for $10. The crib was Kaiden's when he was little so there was no cost there. I made the crib sheet from a $2 thrift store vintage, flat bed sheet.The pillows were $2 each from a thrift store. They have such unique designs and I know I would never be able to find them at a normal dept. store! // The hooks on the right are from World Market but I already had them on hand. // The little dress is from our trip to Cabo. // I'm super pumped to use this Maya Wrap ring sling that I won off Ebay several months ago for 1/4 the price of what they normally cost!The dresser was from our bedroom but I just re-arranged closets so that she would have a dresser/changing table. // I found the bird painting at a thrift store for $3. It's probably my favorite find ever!Curtain ties as decor were $3 each from Ross // A little rocking chair passed down from Ethan's family and a vintage, crochet blanket I got at an antique store for $10 // Some bird garland from World Market for $4More World Market Garland $7// All gifts from my baby shower! Handmade burp clothes from Etsy, Dr. Brommer's Castille Soap (lasts you forever) and the most AMAZING smelling organic baby lotion and shampoo by Shea MoistureHandmade letters for her name ($8 in Michael's supplies) // Organic, terry cloth diaper cover from Marshall's for $5// $2.50 lamp bought from a yard sale // Framed print and embroidery hoop made by friends // Wire bird cage with clothes pins and ultrasound pics $8 on clearance at Michaels (you can kind of see it hanging on the right)This canopy was the "big splurge" but I looked and looked and couldn't find one like it anywhere else. It was priced at $50 but I had  $20 in World Market store credit so it ended up costing me $30 in the end. // This BEAUTIFUL feather mobile was a baby shower gift handmade by one of my dear friends. It's beyond perfect...The faux sheepskin was $10 at Ikea and will be used for her newborn pics! // The rug is from Ross and was only $10 but it required a rug mat underneath which was $6. // I already had the white curtains and floor basket (which I filled with baby blankets and a boppy pillow.) // The curtain rod was $15 at Ross.Let me just add that our goal was to save money. I want to say in total all the nursery decor costed us around $130 and that was over a span of several months. Ross and thrift stores are my go to places and I made sure to purchase pieces sparingly, ensuring that they could be used as she grows older or in other portions of our house. It took a lot of digging (through dusty dirty junk), a lot of cleaning and washing but like they say: one man's junk is another (wo)man's treasure. :)
