Oliver's Light & Bright Nursery

A Project For: Oliver
Age: Due April Fool's Day 2012
Location: Houston, TX
Description:
I started out not wanting a theme for his room, but we ended up with a lot of airplanes and some elephants, too! The colors are light and bright and fun- yellow, blue, gray and white. We splurged on his glider and crib, but everything else in his room is pretty budget-friendly!

Advice:
Mix and match things you already have and start your search early so you can get good deals. I saw on Project Nursery when we were getting started to look outside of the baby stores and found that really helpful!

Are you happy with the rug? I’ve been looking for ages for a rug like this that is within this price range! They grey looks a lot darker in your pictures then on the website. Is it? What size in yours? Love the room. Mine is very similar and the rug has been stumping me!!

I LOVE this nursery, great job!! I’m wondering what size your rug is? I’m going to get a similar one from Urban Outfitters, and I’m wondering if this is the 5×7 or 8×10?

Sorry this is so late, this is my first time logging in since the baby was born!

The rug is 5×7 and yes it is a little darker than on the Urban Outfitters website. I like it and think it’s fine on top of carpet, but if you have a hard floor it would need some sort of pad under it for sure. It’s not very soft either- when I put the baby on the floor I usually have a blanket under him (when he’s a little older he’ll be fine). The corners curl up sometimes, but if I just flip them under for a day it lays flat again. For the price, I’m not complaining :)

Sorry but I have no idea about the paint. The room was already this color when we moved in, and the paint in the garage doesn’t have a name or code on it! It’s just walmart paint.

Hi! I was curious if there is a difference in paint color in the pottery barn crib and the ikea changing table!? I love pottery barn but want to save some money by going with the changing table you used however I’m a little OCD on matching the furniture!! Ha
