Finally. This mamma is breathing a long sigh of satisfaction. One more thing to cross off my "baby-do-before-he's-due" list. And it's not even womb baby's room. We now have three cribs in our house. Three. Two of them were given to us (isn't that wonderful?) The twins are almost two years old but I couldn't bring myself to switch them to toddler beds just yet. They sleep so well and are so nicely contained in their cribs. I'll let them adjust to the new baby and then we'll try turning them loose.
I am so thankful that I didn't break the piggy bank for this room. From start to finish, we've spent less than $100. The most expensive item was the fabric for the curtains I made. The dresser was given to us and we painted it and the bookcase. The walls were washed in a fresh new color. All of the other little odds and ends that make this room unique I found at thrift stores or in my attic. Scrapbook paper and vintage children's books from my childhood home were framed. And the two little babies now sleeping in their beds-- are memories in the making.

I LOVE the room, it looks so lovely. Great choice in colors too. I agree with you leaving your twins in their crib for now. I think people try to rush their little ones to big kid beds too early sometimes. My little one is 25 months, and although I am ready to have him move to a big boy bed, I am in no hurry.
What a fabulous room well done. I love the simplicity of everything put together! The vintage items are gorgeous - I love each and every one of them and you have them displayed so cool! You did an amazing job!
It looks amazing! I love all the colours together and the cute little toys on the shelf. I bet it's lovely knowing it's all done and finished ready for the new bubba!
This is my kind of room! what fabulous taste and style you have!!
Oh you did a fantastic makeover her! I love it, and that's my kinda budget! Your very creative, and ya know I had my son in his crib until he was 3 1/2 and he transferred to a toddler bed for just a short time and now is in a twin. My daughter will most likely do the same! I love that they loved it! Why ruin a great thing?!
Cool room! I love the idea of framing pages from vintage books!
It looks gorgeous. I want a room like that for myself! =)
Your nursery is so cute. My fave part: that chair!!
I just LOVE it, Joye! So unique and colorful! I bet they love it too!
I love it...it's so cute! I love all the vintage charm, it's adorable! I'm not a matchy-matchy person...and this is my kinds of style and with lots of memories already there! GREAT job!
Alex and Emily were both in cribs right up until their 3rd birthdays...they never tried to crawl out...so why make it harder on me! Good luck...I'm getting excited for your new arrival too!
Now that's decorating on a budget! And it looks fantastic!!! The picture of your twins is breathtaking. Beautiful job!! Now come help me!! :)
It IS yummy and you definitely try it! I can't get over how serene, yet child-friendly this nursery is! Great work!
Once again, I am totally in awe of your mad skills. I love the vintage stuff, especially the old books. When I started teaching, I found a bunch of old books like those about to be thrown away. I use them to decorate my classroom now.
It looks adorable, Joye! Great Job! The little vintage owls and bird are so cute!
I love this room. It is amazing! That ABC cross stick is to-die-for!

I LOVE each and every corner of this room. WOW..I adore vintage. I was tickled to see you have a red chair on of those shelves. I found three at a yard sale (10cents for all three) ..fantastic job and amazing for the total cost..
Oh my... the yellow clock.. with pudgy birdies... and worn books... to die for! be still my little heart :)

This is one of the best blog baby rooms I've seen in a while! I love your use of color and pattern to make such a cheery space. The art selection and framing is fantastic. Thanks for sharing!!
Oh my glory! This is adorable! I'm adding your post to my DIY Day recap. Love it! Love it! Love it!
LOVE. Great vintagey feel. Lil Chick has the same crib bedding, isn't it fun?
I love this! So many of your books and framed prints reminded me of my childhood favorites. Thanks for sharing. Now you can rest a little before that baby makes its appearance?
What a lovely room! My head is swimming with ideas for our playroom after seeing it...
Don't rush your twins out of their cribs. Happy babies = happy mama. My son is 3 and is still happy as a clam in his crib. What's the rush?
Coming over from A Soft Place to Land. I love this room! It is so sweet and I like all of the personal, vintage touches. I really love that you did it on such a small budget!
It's PERFECT. Oh how I love vintage baby rooms. Your taste is wonderful. I really don't know how you found the time and energy to do it with your busy little ones. And of course I had to read your story in the sidebar and was overcome with emotion. May God bless you and yours.
This room looks so fantastic- you have an amazing sense of color!
This room is DARLING! I love the vintage look. I've been thinking of doing three images over my boys crib just like your tree, bird and pear! Now I've got more inspiration!!
Beautiful!

The room looks awesome! I love the vintage feel!
I love old stuff....so much personality! Great job.
Can I ask about the pillow? LOVE IT! Where did you find it?
Enjoy your babies....they grow so fast!
Thanks for all the lovely comments! <3
Michelle~ I picked up the little red bird pillow at a World Market store not quite a year ago--I'm not sure if they still have them!
Such a precious nursery! I adore the vintage vibe and all the fabulous colors!
SO cute! I love all the vintage touches and all the colors and patterns are so fab!
