Phew. Aside from toys, which I'm not counting as part of the room's budget since they were mainly birthday and Christmas gifts, that brings our totals to...
Furniture - $658
Art and accessories - $356
Lighting - $122
Soft furnishings - $265
Storage - $171
Paint - $70
...for a grand total of $1642. That seems like a lot to me, but it does include almost every single thing in the room, and it was spread out over more than a year. I think the room will grow with the little man too, so it was worth it. :)

  3. Lizzy you have done a fabulous job, I love the cool of the walls and pops of bright color. The pillar in the corner is a great feature and the wall color you picked really shows it off
