Chris and Julia of Chris Loves Julia “amped up” an unfinished six-drawer dresser from IKEA and turned it into the piece they’d been dreaming of for their in-progress nursery. Julia says it was an easy makeover, involving the addition of couple of boards and a coat of mint paint. Now the couple can sit back and enjoy the $3,000 they saved and pack their beautiful dresser full of tiny clothes!

Mable from Lilato Laka shares another fun addition to her son’s nautical-themed nursery with this decorative ship wheel After spying a wood steering wheel at Hobby Lobby for $44, Mable challenged herself to recreate it. Sure, the wheel would have been pretty inexpensive with a coupon, but where’s the fun in that? Plus, Mable already had most of the supplies on hand to make her own. Mabel’s wheel looks so much like her inspiration that I honestly did a double take to figure out which was which!
