I love the rug, mostly because it was a project I took on with my best friend. We saved almost $200 copying one I found online. I also love the ikea chair with ikat pillow and hand knitted blanket made by my mother in law.
Advice:
Do as many shapes as you want, but try to stick to the same exact shades of color.

I’m using these colors for my nursery! They’re a great combination. Is the rug a DIY project? Where did you get your inspiration and how did you make it, if you don’t mind me asking? I love it!

Hi Amanda, I actually got my inspiration from another nursery here, http://projectnursery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSC_0045-678×1024.jpg. When I began shopping for the rug, I was having a hard time finding one that was the right color and size for less than $200. So, with the help of a good friend, I decided to give it a DIY try. I bought this rug from Walmart for $40 in Ivory, http://www.walmart.com/ip/Herald-Square-5-x-7-Rug-Ivory/13846221, three cans of RustOleum spray paint in Fire Orange, a few rolls of duct tape to layout the stripes and a can of Scotchguard to treat the rug when it was dry. My friend did all the spraying since I was pregnant, but it really was pretty easy, just a bit time consuming laying out the stripes. The paint finish was a little crispy at first, but now that we’ve walked on it for a a bit it feels just like a regular rug. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for the info! I hope you & your little man enjoy the room!

Love the colors. I think the turquoise and the orange were a bold color choice, but they look wonderful together.
