Description
I am a lover of contemporary living. Ever since I thought of making our daughter's nursery I was looking for something that looks modern and contemporary. After my rigorous research I finally settled down to "Gray and Yellow" theme, Gray was to give the room that elegance and Yellow was to diffuse that freshness and incandescence for a girl's room. I loved how the combination was vivid as well as graceful.
However, I wanted to keep a balance between splurging for the nursery and 'thinking too much'. I think I was able to get to it finally!
Thanks to my husband AJ for taking wonderful shots of the nursery!

I got my inspiration from all the beautiful projects that have been submitted already. I had previously done my son's room, and I also wanted Ayana's room to be as pretty as she herself is.

Thank you Nella, I wanted to keep door sign simple yet catchy :) I was pretty pleased how it went with the look of the room! This is the beauty in “Do-it-yourself” projects, you can mold so many things as per your choice!
Thank you, Rose. Yes! I loved all the meanings of Ayana when we were picking names for her-
Beautiful Flower (Swahili)
Innocence (HIndi)
“God Listens”(Japanese)
Lovely, I wish I would have saw this when my Ayana was born years ago!!! FYI, Ayana means beautiful flower in Swahili.
Cute door sign. And when you enter, you get greeted by the sunny and cheery feel of the room. It’s the kind of room that exudes happiness.
