Good morning! It is time for Fix It Up Friday! Today I want to share with you how I have been able to have some “new” nursery furniture for our new baby without spending much money.
The dresser is part of a set we inherited from my husband’s grandma when we were newly married. Two of my boys have the other two dressers in their rooms. This dresser I had painted pink for my daughter several years ago. It has been in her closet storing junk (She has another dresser for clothes.) and she was willing to part with it for her new baby sister.
It took me a couple of hours on Saturday to put about 5 coats of white enamel paint on the dresser. You would have thought it was red with as hard as it was to cover up the pink. Thankfully, the day was windy or it would have taken much longer to paint.
I painted the knobs with some red glossy spray paint and have already filled the dresser with Janna’s tiny clothes. 
Finally, I covered two cardboard boxes with some red and aqua felt. The boxes will serve as extra storage for diapers, burp cloths and blankets as well as add a decorative element to the room. I used my tutorial for covering boxes with fabric.
Who says you need to spend a lot of money to decorate a nursery? A little paint and some time is all it took for me to create this look for our baby.
