Description
We didn't learn our baby girl's gender before hand so it took me a while to complete her nursery. I chose gray for the color scheme knowing we could add pops of pink or green depending on if we were blessed with a girl or a boy. Pink it is! We live in Southern California so I wanted a nursery that reflected our relaxed modern California style.
Design Inspiration
I knew I wanted gray for our nursery. We purchased the Oeuf Sparrow crib before she was born, but it wasn't until after her birth that I really started adding to the design of the room.
Decorating Style
Modern, yet minimalist with clean lines. I like decorating with neutrals so I can mix things up with different colors when I need a change.
Project Details
The dresser was our bargain find. We found it at our local Goodwill store for $20 and then daddy sanded and painted it. I also had a friend make all our pillow covers. Our window coverings are basic white roller shades that I covered with fabric.
Favorite Items
We love the day bed. We cuddle and read books on it every night and it's great for Nanny to stay when she visits. I also love our rocker. It's not as bulky as some of the rockers/gliders out there and we can take it from room to room.
Advice
We invested in a few nice pieces with some bargain items mixed in. I'm not a crafty person, so I asked for help from friends who are!

Thanks for the comments! I was nervous to tackle the shades but it really was pretty easy. I simply cut the fabric and glued it on with a spray adhesive from 3M (specifically for fabric and plastic). I only glued enough fabric to cover the shade when they are down, probably about half the length of the shade.

Love the room! If I have a daughter next her room will also be gray! She will be in our current room which is gray right now and I thought I would just leave it since pink and yellow look good with gray. AWESOME Idea with the roller shades! I think I may have to do that in my sons bedroom! What kind of adhesive did you use?!
