So maybe you’re still not convinced you have the time, talent, or inclination to make your own art for the nursery. You can still pick up some great pieces at great prices from the artists and artisans at Etsy.com (I’ve certainly given away some fab ones here on BC!). Here are a few finds:
Pop a custom name art print from 
Trendy Peas (left, $29) into an inexpensive frame.
These limited edition bird prints from Barking Bird Art (right) are really “tweet”! $18 for an 8×10.
Galerie Anais, based in Paris, ships original paintings to the States for much less than you might expect. Who could resist this original “Hou Hou” painting (left) at just $26.
Etsy carries other decor and storage items for the nursery, too. These reversible fabric bins from Baffin Bags are $20 and come in a variety of 
colors and patterns.
What are your favorite Etsy artists?

Cute nursery artwork. Custom made pieces too … http://www.etsy.com/shop/babylamms
I love so many of the wall decals you can buy, nothing like looking like you had a mural painted on the wall without the huge cost. We are putting one in our nursery after we get the walls painted next week.

you can always request other items from etsy too, for those of us who are new to it. i just discovered etsy and have requested a tag-like ribbon blanket to be made for DD. i gave my color scheme and idea and price range, a couple people got back to me within a few minutes…they explored ideas with me until i settled on one. i also have a request for a sock monkey put out.
