This week in ‘planning your nursery’ it’s all about the money, baby. That’s right – the budget! In addition to discussing things to consider in putting together your budget, later this week will be featuring three design boards for nurseries with budgets ranging from $600 to $2000.<\/p>\n

You have the room picked out, taken measurements, started playing with all kinds of ideas as far as style and color – maybe even made a few decisions! The next (very important) thing to do before you head out to shop for the goods is to put together a budget for the room.<\/p>\n

Consider each piece you will need to buy and choose a budget for each. Think about pieces you might want to invest more in (for example a dresser that can grow into the teenage years or a chair that could be re-purposed for another room in the house later). Once you have a budget for each piece, add about 20 – 30% for decor, combine your totals and you are set to start shopping!<\/p>\n

For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crib: $250 – $300<\/p>\n

Dresser\/Changer: $250<\/p>\n

Chair\/Rocker: $400 – $450<\/p>\n

Crib Bedding: $200 – $250<\/p>\n

Decor etc. : $250<\/p>\n

Total Budget: $1500<\/strong><\/p>\n

However you compile your budget, allow a little room for the unexpected. There are always little additions that you can’t plan for. Plus – it’s a great idea to add pieces of furniture for the nursery to your registry. They are often a favorite for group gifts and many places give you a discount on remaining items that you would like to purchase yourself.<\/p>\n

Coming later today: A Bright and Modern Nursery under $600!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n
