I am starting to plan (well who am I kidding, I've been secretly pinning nursery plans for months now...) our nursery and have my heart set on making curtains using fabric from Spoonflower... but have just realised these are going to be EXPENSIVE!

DH and I have agreed an overall budget for the nursery, and bearing in mind we don't need to purchase hardly anything new, we're ok with a bit of a splurge since it'll really pull the whole look I'm going for together, but all the same, curtains seem an odd and silly thing to spend lots of money on...

So I'm curious: What were your big-but-maybe-not essential nursery splurges?
