Description:
I wanted a nursery that was "out of the box". I wanted something completely original and something that my husband and I created together. Thank goodness he is so handy. He built the raised panel wanes coating and put in the rustic wood floors all by himself. He also built the closet and the book shelves. I created custom curtains by using the leftover paint from the closet project and also painted all of the pictures frames to coordinate with our color scheme. I found a lot of amazing details on Etsy.

Design Inspiration:
My husband really wanted to build molding for the walls and I fell in love with the bedding. We decided on a Turquoise and Gray color scheme and everything kind of fell into place. The owls and the chevron were an after thought but probably ended up being my favorite elements.

Decorating Style:
I am very matchy-matchy and I fight it so bad. I love more of an eclectic look. I am very detail oriented and love love LOVE accessories.
