I think I spent 1/10 or 1/20 of that. Bought everything used, mostly from thrift shops; I spent the most on the crib - a decent, sort of generic Jenny Lind style crib is what I spent the most on.

Infant car-seat carrier I bought had a good sturdy frame, it was cheap because the padding was torn up and stained. I used a polyfill sort of fire-retardant-treated christmas tree skirt (checked MSDS on the retardant used, for safety in contact with kids) to thicken and reconstruct the padding, and a nifty geometric designed cotton with bright colors and stuff, using the old cover cloth as a pattern. (Yeah, ignore my protestations, I *can* sew when properly motivated.)

Bedding, onesies, jammies, I bought at Salv. Army and St. Vince thrift shops.

The only thing I bought new were the cloth diapers and diaper covers, which were either pretty crappy or really, really expensive in the early 90's.

I gotta ask - WTF is "decor?" :) When Debbie was born, the "nursery" was a room with boxes and the crib, and a comfy chair for nursing. The comfy chair was from an office surplus shop.

Oh, I had some weird bright Disney wall decorations, I got those free from the lady who sold me the very good crib-sized inner spring mattress for... what was it? $10? $20? Something like that.

Man. That's just funny. Six grand for fitting out a newborn? Quick, someone tell the people overseas. They're so deprived.
