Decorating on a budget and finding super deals has always been a hobby of mine. In my family, we brag about how cheap we got something and then try to one-up eachother. So here's my turn to brag.

I found this practically new crib AND mattress on Craigs list for $40. It matches Carter's changing table perfectly. NOW, if I had all the money in the world, I'd be all about Pottery Barn, but since we don't, this is as good as it gets. So far I've spent $85 on a dresser, crib, mattress and changing table in Carter's room, and to me, "that's a good thing."

On Saturday I'll tell you about an even better deal I got.
