We are planning on painting one of our guest rooms... reinsulating the window... and obviously the cost of furniture...
How much did your nursery cost? What is the average that we can expect to put into redoing a guest room into a nursery?

Ikea crib: $100
Mattress: $89
Changing table (used): $30
Paint: $40
Curtains: $7 for two homemade panels
There will probably be more to come, though: book shelves, decorations, etc.
We are using one of our dressers for the baby and will probably use our la-z-boy as our glider/rocker.
