Description
I wanted a nursery that my daughter could grow up in, not one that would always resemble a baby. She won't be little for long so I designed a nursery that she could grow up in or at least last until she was ready to design her room. I also wanted something that was vintage looking with a modern flare to it.
Design Inspiration
My inspiration for this project was the color palette. We had just moved in our house and painted her room mint green before I found out I was pregnant. I designed her entire room around that color so I didn't have to repaint.
Decorating Style
My decorating style is vintage/modern. I like to combine a little old with a little new.
Project Details
Dresser: Great Grandmothers, repainted
Twin Size Quilt: Serena and Lily (Instead of a crib blanket (which babies don't really use) I purchased a twin size quilt for when she got older.
Letters: Handmade by Mom
ABC Letters This is the tutorial for the letters not the actual letters themselves. The letters were hand made by mom.
Favorite Items
The changing table, it was my great grandmothers buffet. I just sanded it down picked a paint color and repainted it. It was perfect for my theme.
Advice
Don't be afraid to mismatch furniture, repaint furniture, or do somethings yourself. Start early!
I’ve seen so many alphabet walls and this one is one of the very best! Congrats on a beautiful nursery.
Awesome work on that alphabet wall! It’s really perfect.
I love the colors you have chosen. Restful.
What did you use for the letters? Fabric?
Scrap book paper that I picked up from Hobby Lobby, Archivers, and Paper source
Just curious whether you make/sell the alphabet letters? I’d love them for my little girl!
Could you tell me exact paint color? I LOVE it!
R these hard to make my grand daughter’s would love these
How r these made
These are very easy to make. They are made from paper mâché letters, scrap book paper of your choice and just different color paint for the sides of the letters.
The paint color is called poppy field
I am sorry I have just logged back on and saw this. I could make them, the paper would be different but I think that is what makes them each so unique.
If you email me at [email protected] I would be happy to give you step by step directions or even talk to you about making them for you.
What did you use to hang the letters?
Command strips they worked like a charm without damaging the walls
Thank u so much!!!!
Who is the paint color by? Thanks!
Can you tell me what the wall color is?
Do you make and sell? How can I reach you? I’m new to Pin Interest. Can I have you email please?
Hi All that recently commented the wall color is by Behr and it is a paint and primer in one. If I can find the paint can I will post again. As for the letters I do sell them at my Etsy store.

This room is beautiful! I would like to repaint my daughters nursery very soon and am having a terrible time finding the perfect mint color. I’m driving my hubby crazy w/the amount of paint samples I have tried only to decide they aren’t quite right. Have you been able to locate the paint can w/the name of this color? I absolutely love it and it would help me sooo much!
Your picture #15…how could I do that myself?
My girlfriend is having a gender reveal party and we wanted to use that as the guest book. Except we want to offer blue & pink so the guests can do that as their choice .
Did you find that paint can for the color on the walls?
The paint color is Jade Mist by Behr paint, which was purchased at Home Depot
