Twins’ Nursery on a Budget
January 19, 2011 by Shelley
Several months ago I posted my little guy’s bedroom. I moved him out of the nursery and into his ‘big boy room‘ so I could change the nursery GIRLY. Goodbye blue, hello PINK! Eek! 
When we found out we were expecting two, we immediately starting buying in double. Double strollers, double car seats, double bouncers, and yes EVEN double cribs. Sheesh! Buying in double is expensive! A budget was extra important for this nursery.
We live in a small home, with very small rooms. Trying to fit two cribs in this nursery was near impossible! But where there is a WILL, there is a WAY. {Told you they would fit Honey!}
I couldn’t photograph this whole room because there simply wasn’t room for me to stand. Hopefully you get the idea. 
My mother-in-law is over-the-top talented and painted this ‘O’ to match the crib bedding.
Oh aren’t they sweet!
Two of everything makes me smile…
Do you remember the how to make a hair bow holder post? So easy and so fun! -I added a feather boa to the lamp shade for some texture.
I get to claim this ‘O’ and ‘H’! Not quite as fancy, but still super cute (and easy)!
Oh what’s that?! You noticed that super adorable picture in their room and want a close up? Well,..Okay!

Total cost: $221 {excluding furniture}.
2 sets of bedding: auctioned on ebay for $60 each (x2) = $120
Chloe & Sophie letters= $44
Feather Boas=$12
Up-cycled Lamp Shade= $0
Frames= $40
Chicken Wire= $5

When I was a kid, my friends across the street were twin girls. They were so much fun! Best wishes for you and your twin girls!!!!
The room is beautiful! Congrats on the adorable girls!
Oh my goodness! Pure sweetness. What a precious and happy place. Love it! (I only have boys, so I love the girlie look of this room).
What a beautiful nursery!! Please, please tell me where you bought your green glider/rocker? I am in search of one and love that!
L.O.V.E!!! Please, please come visit me and help me with my girl’s room…I’m in a decorating rut right now.
Everything is gorgeous. I just LOVE the bedding!
Gorgeous room! Where did you find the pink fabric for the hair bow holder? LOVE it! I have been searching everywhere for a pink/white damask or brocade with no luck.
Your mother-in-law painted all of the letters for my nursery! It is PERFECT and I keep convincing her to open an Etsy store! She even copied the toile fabric that we used! You can see the pictures here: http://laurenandeddie.blogspot.com/2010/07/weekend-update_27.html
The twins’ room is PRECIOUS. Thanks for sharing!
Great use of a tiny space! We have tiny rooms too so I can totally sympathize. xo
I so wish I had seen this two years ago. But may copy this for the girls now.
Uh. How do you feel about Parma? Want to come out and help me finish the twins room? We can lock the kids out with the cows!
Where did you get those cute lace leggings for your girls?? They are darling!! Super cute room too. Love it!
Ok, so when you posted about your son’s room, you replied to comments about a tutorial for the “B”…is it coming soon?? Cause I would totally love to make one for my son’s room. And your girl’s room is totally adorable as well!! Love it!!
Wow! I can’t believe you found that ADORABLE bedding on Ebay for $60 each!
This is beyond cute! What an amazing room and the pics of the girls are tooooo sweet!
SO SO girly and adorable, love it!
Oh, how sweet!! I have twin boys that are five 1/2 months and I wish you all the best and totally can relate to the “double” cost!! That’s a hard one but seeing the two of them together makes everything worth it! Good Luck and very cute nursery!
What a beautiful room!!! The bedding is wonderful… what brand is it? Congratulations on your gorgeous twin girls!
Wow! What a room! You are so talented and your girls are adorable. Congratulations! My favourite theme for a baby girl’s room is ladybug crib bedding, but in this case you’ve done such a great job you don’t need that advice! Best wishes to you and your family.
Also wondering where you got those ADORABLE lace leggings??? SOOOOO CUTE!!!
I recently re-did our boys room ages 8 and 2 so I had to find a happy medium
We chose a surf/hawaiian theme (we took them to Kauai last Christmas and they fell in love with it 
) I would love to send you pictures it turned out darling! We painted a couple murals on the wall. My eight year old had an idea to make it look like a front window of a surf shop so we painted a mural, I had a 4×4 ft window that we put over the painting and with leftover bamboo flooring and a little rafia we made the coolest awning that comes off the wall over his bed. Found another PB surf bedding set on KSL for $40 to match the one we already had. It’s amazing what you can do with the stuff you already have 
Absolutely precious!! Shows what you can do with a small budget as long as you are creative and willing to do some of your own work. This room is so beautiful, but the most beautiful part are the baby girls!!
So sweet! When I was planning my 2nd daughter’s nursery I probably spent, no joke, 2 hours A DAY for like 4 months on the Rate My Space site. So addicting. I didn’t help that one of my bff’s was also expecting a girl and we spent endless amount of time talking about all the nurseries on the site!
i have a set of boy girl twins. It’s the best. I love their nursery, but I am totally looking forward to creating a new look as a toddler room. Any ideas? Also, their second birthday party is coming up. I am a HUGE fan of party planning. I want to make it the Noah’s ark theme and say something like “2×2 They’re Turning Two, Come Join Us for A Party At Our Local Zoo”
Wow!! super cute! i love the color combination the wall,
beddings… I love it!!…congrats to your new twins.
Adorable! We are moving soon and I’ll get to actually do my daughter’s room. Love the frame with the flowers! Would love some details on how you made it!
We expecting baby this April i hope it’s a
baby girl.I would love to try the theme.
It’s beautiful!!
Oh my, Wow!! It’s stunning!!!
This is sooo beautiful…. I love what you did with the room! It’s amazing. And your twins looked so precious and sweet. I absolutely adore it!
How on earth do you have time to craft with twins? I have a hard enough time with one baby at a time! They are super cute, by the way. Love the tile, it’s my favorite part.

)

I love this. We are expecting twins too, but they are boy girl so I am REALLY struggling with how to decorate it and it is really stressing me out! Any tips?
Maybe same pattern different color? Brown/pink and brown blue? Look on etsy! Or there are some cute gender neutral sets these days (not just boring yellow).
I have been reading your posts the past few days & I’m pretty sure we have the same life
I also have a little boy with ID twin girls right behind him (20 mo apart). I’m planning their first b-day coming up & will be “borrowing” many of your ideas! You are so talented! Thanks for your posts & helping me feel like there’s hope for my creativity to thrive with this crazy (blessed) life!
