our son's nursery is proof positive that with a lot of love & a little searching, you don't have to spend a lot of money to create a unique space you love.  the key was patience - we didn't run out & buy anything, we collected key pieces over the course of my pregnancy.  and as we did, the room came together as the perfect space for our son.
