Dad, you rock! I just love when both parents are involved in the design of baby’s first room. The color combo and modern details are fabulous. Well done!

Really pretty. And the fact that it was the dad-to-be who designed the room adds extra cool points. I really love the wall decal with the integrated shelves.

I’m sorry, cjfnursery, I don’t remember the name of the Ikea panels and I don’t see them on their website now. The panels cost $20 for two panels and they are fairly heavy fabric. Sorry I can’t be of more help. When I bought them in the store, they were definitely marked down, so maybe they are no longer being sold? I’m not sure.

This is amazing. i love every last detail. Thank you for including the information on where you purchased items. I am going to attempt to replicate this.
Thanks so much for putting a Safe Crib in the layout. Nothing in the crib except a fitted sheet. Bumper pads, pillows, toys, etc are not safe have caused suffocation in infants.
This is a wonderful, versatile room. Brady can enjoy this decor for years to come. Nice job, Nick!

This is outstanding … I love the bright accent colors, how well the room is put together and especially the tree with pictures on the free-standing shelves out of the tree. What an incredible positive atmosphere for Brady and parents! Well done!

Beautiful room design. Love the family tree on the wall, very versatile room for either a boy or girl. Sure Brady is going to love his room as he grows up. Well done!

Wow, am so impressed with this room, It is so serene and so NOT like your ordinary nursery,babies do not need to be surrounded in “baby” stuff and I truly believe that that babies are more comfortble in rooms that they are familiar with. I have 6 kids and not one of them had a special “baby” type Nursery…This nursery gets a “20” out of 10!!!

The paint color was called Anonymous by Behr paint. How fitting for our anonymous child until birth. :-)
Love it! Gray is such a “HOT” color right now and it looks so great with orange! I immediately thought how awesome our custom gray & orange initial rug would look in that room!
Great article, I just given this onto a co-worker who was doing a little research on that. And he in fact purchased me lunch because I discovered it for him

We are using your design as inspiration. Thanks for all the info on where to purchase and the paint
Color. We are in Canada so no chance anyone will know that we copied you.
Hope you are enjoying your new baby.

Do you feel like the Nod ceiling light gives off enough light in the room or is it dim? I can’t tell if there is more than one light bulb in there from their website. Love the room – great job!
Did you choose orange accent bird decals or citrus yellow?? Thanks!!

It gives a great amount of light. We added a dimmer switch to the wall switch, too, to make it darker in the room at night.
