Save big on your nursery decor by painting or wallpapering a dresser yourself. It’s a fun weekend project. Here’s a bit of inspiration. Click the links beneath each to see it larger and/or for a tutorial.

More B-U-Y than DIY? Shop Craigslist and Freecycle.org for freebies and cheepies near you. IKEA is also a great source (Malm!) if you’re lucky enough to live near one. You can find inexpensive but stylish dressers under $200 at Overstock.com, Target.com and elsewhere. Instead of buying a kids-only item, choose something that will grow with your child. Add color by switching the knobs or handles out with something fun. You could even add removable decals.
And don’t forget: A dresser can double as a changing table. Just attach a changing pad to the top (many come with straps for this purpose).

Please, please, where did you get those alphabet/number prints? Love them!
The alphabet and number prints are from Penny People Design. Their print prices are really affordable but shipping from Canada is expensive. Be sure to order all the prints you want at the same time to save on shipping costs.
