very little.
second hand bassinet $20 ($10 for custom foam mattress)
second hand cot, free ($100 for new mattress) - never used and dd is nearly 2.
second hand change table/dresser $30
built in robes
decorating was cheap, wall stickers and some nice mats
everything pretty much matches too
I spent more on cloth nappies and my baby carriers!
I bought minimal stuff initially but then have added to it over the 2.5 years...
to start I had bassinet for $120, chest of drawers from ikea $250, changing mat on top $20, decal on wall $100 (my little extravagance which made the room!), we used swaddles and then sleeping bags until he was 2 so just bought a couple of bottom sheets for maybe $50.
then later bought a cot from ikea (maybe $200), and an ikea expedit unit for toys (seeing a theme yet??) , and now have just changed it into a "big boy room" with yep, you guessed it, an ikea toddler bed and little bedside table, for maybe $300. I spent $100 on some custom linen from etsy cos I couldn'd find anything I liked. I LOVE his room. It's perfect! All the furniture is ikea but it doesn't look like an ikea catalogue because all the little accessories and linen, and awesome wall decal personalise it.
And of course, as you know AJ, I am hoping to use the bassinet and cot again...
I haven't read the replies, but I got a beautiful solid sleigh cot and change table/drawers and cot mattres for $589 including delivery....PM me for details!
