Christopher's Nursery « Project Nursery

A Project For: Christopher
Age: Due May 2012
Location: Tulsa, Oklahoma
Description:
We wanted to design a nursery for our second son that was something that could grow with him. We also wanted a calm, neutral space with a burst of color, so we decided on a bold green accent. The artwork and accessories are simple and playful, perfect for a little boy!
Design Inspiration:
My first inspiration was the quatrefoil, a design element which I studied during college in Architecture and Art History classes. We incorporated it into the room with the bedding and the wall decals. My other inspirations were projects from Project Nursery and items on Etsy.
Decorating Style:
Modern with clean lines, a burst of color and pattern.

I love the color choices you picked! Its perfection. The green curtains with that rug is absolutely fabulous too. And the huge baby pin by the door is by far my favorite! One of my favorite nurseries!!!

I love the green color accents! Your child’s name above the bed, are those vinyl wall decals too? If they are how did you make them?

Thank you,
Carolyn Moore

How did you make the wall vinyl? Been looking for something like this for my boys room.

Erica,

I knew I wanted quatrefoils, so my husband had a graphic designer at his work design and print it. However, I have seen something pretty similar on Etsy. Good luck!

I believe the quatrefoils are 8.5 inches in height and width, with 3 inch spacing. Hope that helps!

CAMathison,

The lamp was used in my older son’s nursery and I’m sorry I don’t remember where we got it. However, we recently purchased the new lamp shade from Z Gallerie to match the nursery.
