Last night my dad came over and helped me hang everything on the walls and install the bookshelves. I am so grateful for his help! I was very anxious to get everything set in place, and it finally is. Yay for Poppy! Here are some pics as of this week (11/27):








I am a frugal mamma and doing a lot of the projects for the nursery myself, so I thought it would be fun to keep track of exactly how much we spent making Poppy's place perfect :) Here is the breakdown:
