This Design on a Dime project is getting really fun! The only thing that would make it even better is if I had heaps of cash to pay for even the cheapest of the ideas! Really though, planning and dreaming is just as fun as actually doing it I think. No, never mind.
The inspiration behind Baby LuLu’s nursery comes from the Serena & Lily website. It is the room that features their Lucy bedding line (fitting, I think). I was looking for something totally girly and simple and of course, pink. Today I’m looking for a chair. The chair in the inspiration room would most likely be found at a thrift store, yard sale, an estate sale, an antique store. Somewhere like that, it’s a bit older looking. Please excuse my decorating terms; I have no formal education in interior design.
 As cute as the chair is, I don’t think it’s really super practical for what purpose I need it to serve. I need to be able to rock the baby and/or nurse. If I had a HUGE house, I might have a separate chair or place to do that but no, this room needs to be pretty all inclusive. So, here are the chairs I propose even though they look NOTHING like the inspiration chair. Your ideas or links would also be appreciated!

On a recent episode of the Real Housewives of Orange County I saw a twin set of ROUND CRIBS in the nursery of the home of Alexis. After that I was SOLD.
I searched and quickly came to the realization that in order to get my hands on one of these I was either going to have to steal it or cough up about $1800 for the crib, the mattress and the special bedding. Not an option for us at all! Not leaving out the fact that the round crib is not convertible. Once it’s done being a crib, it’s just done. No toddler bed, no double bed, nothing.
So now I’m on the search to find a crib that fits into the design scheme that I introduced yesterday. At a real person price. Which of these options do you think is closest to my Serena & Lily inspiration room crib? Yeah, I know the round crib doesn't fit in but I had to throw it up there to show you how adorable it is!
I actually came across a website called Project Nursery! I'm SOOOOO addicted!!

Here is my PRE-Home Show fabrics inspiration board. I LOVE this room from the Serena and Lily website. I also am totally, absolutely in love with all things Serena and Lily. I want this bedding or this set so badly but the price tag (although totally worth it) is nowhere near in our price range. So, I’ve been searching the internet far and wide to find some design on a dime ideas to replicate this room.
A part of me prays that I fall in love with some other design idea at the home show but then again I’ve already done so much work to start copycatting this room.
A friend offered to make a quilt for Lulu and the fabrics from this bedding set can be purchased by the yard on the Serena and Lily website. My plan is to splurge and snag up some yardage of that stuff (around $20 per yard! Yikes!) and have the quilt made with those beautiful fabrics. Another splurge MIGHT be the bed skirt. Isn’t it just darling?!
1. Watermelon Linen (Serena & Lily) $20 per yard. 2.. Green/Pink Espadrille Cotton Sateen (Serena & Lily) $20 per yard & $45 bedsheet 3. Pink Pixie Dot on White Cotton Sateen (Serena & Lily) $20 per yard. 4. White Pique (Serena & Lily) $20 per yard. (5-7 are my economical options) 5. Pink & Lime Stripe Crib Sheet (Carousel Designs) $34 6. CoCaLo Baby Tropical Punch Crib Sheet (Target.com) $14 7. Lamby Crib Sheet (Target.com)
