Need some decorating advice - on the cheap

So my coworker and I have taken over the task of redoing our nursing room. Our company will pay for the paint and maybe a table. We are thinking that we would like a table (maybe with some storage), I am trying to think of some way to incorporate a bulletin board or something with some photos of our babies. I have PIP'd (or tried to) to give some ideas of what we're working with. Basically, we have the mission to make it a place that people look forward to going and try to make our little legacy for future moms. Any thoughts on what you would do to jazz it up?

    Maybe a little magazine rack or something and people can bring in some old magazines or catalogs.

    Michaels has some bulletin boards that were pretty cheap $9.99 and then if you have one of their 40% off coupons--it's a steal! Wink

    Ours has a filing cabinet, which people can store their personal items in. A chair and ottoman. A small table. A phone, in case someone needs to be on a call while pumping or something. A small refrigerator (for storing breastmilk).

    There really isn't much in the way of decoration in ours. We have a nice piece of art on the wall. And a potted plant.

    You could also add some little amenities that could be useful. A box of kleenex (maybe one in a decorative box or tissue cover), a bottle of Purell, a decorative throw pillow for the seating, a nice looking garbage can, a mirror for checking that you're presentable again after pumping (no buttons in the wrong hole, for instance). If you don't have a cabinet to store personal effects in, you could get some decorative photo boxes (Michaels has a bunch in various patterns for cheap). You can have a label on each with the person's name, and that could be their "locker" for their stuff.

    yes, that's how I read to do it. Can you tell me another (easier!) way? Thanks for solving it for me : )
