Creating Your Dream Nursery WITHOUT Going Broke- Ep. 5

How To Design Your Baby Nursery with Gabriella Milgrom

Turning Budget Nightmares into Dreamy Nurseries

Raise your hand if you've ever started a home renovation project on a whim, only to watch it spiral out of control faster than you can say “over budget!” Yeah, me too. In fact, my recent office upgrade turned into a financial fiasco because I was so eager to finish and focus on my nursery. Spoiler alert: I went way over budget, and I don't want that to happen to you!

In this episode, we're diving into the art of creating a detailed nursery budget. And by detailed, I don’t mean a flimsy list with a few line items. We're talking about a comprehensive plan that covers everything from must-haves to nice-to-haves, ensuring you’re prepared for every possible expense. Because let's face it, babies are expensive!

Join me as I walk you through laying out your budget in Excel. Whether you're a spreadsheet whiz or a visual learner who prefers a step-by-step video (which I’ve got linked for you in the workbook!), I've got you covered. We’ll break down your budget into three priority tiers, each capturing different aspects of your nursery design:

1. Priority 1: Must Complete - The essential elements that can't wait.
2. Priority 2: Would Like to Have - The functional features that would be nice but aren’t critical.
3. Priority 3: Nice to Have - The design flourishes that can be added later if funds allow.

We’ll also discuss the costs associated with cosmetic upgrades, hiring professionals, and, crucially, how to incorporate your baby registry into your budget. By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to balance your nursery dreams with financial reality, ensuring your space is both beautiful and budget-friendly.

Remember, a budget isn’t set in stone; it’s a living document that evolves as your project does. So, grab your workbook from gabriellamilgrom.co/nursery and let’s turn that potential budget nightmare into a dreamy, picturesque nursery without the financial stress!
