We wanted to design a nursery for our soon to arrive little man, but did not want to go the traditional route. We wanted colors and a design that can grow with him, yet still be relevant for an infant.
Design Inspiration:
My sister sent me an image one day of an owl and said "what about putting owls in the nursery?"...from there all of the thoughts came. I started pulling ideas together from different images and came up with our colors first.
Project Details:
For our square wall I used excel to map out a grid and randomly colored out the squares. A few hours of careful taping and quart size paint in each color and it was done. Our wall decal came from Etsy and was a good fit to what we were looking for. I did opt to just buy the sheets separate vs. a bedding package which saved a lot of money. For the crib skirt I bought matching fabric and used hem tape to hide the cut edges. I added velcro to the top edge and the metal crib frame. The whole thing was under $20 and was the only way to find a simple skirt to match the sheet.
Favorite Items:
I love the owl pillows! A woman on Etsy makes them and she worked with me to select the exact fabric and colors that I wanted.

That multi-colored squares wall sure look like a labor of love. I cannot even imagine myself going through the trouble of measuring and then taping and then painting. I admire your patience!

I went awhile after ordering that I never heard from them. Once I emailed they finally responded, but the instructions were not mailed. I had to you tube how to put up the decal. Beyond that I liked the quality and design.
