What happens when mid-century modernites find out their having a baby? They start planning the ultimate modern nursery, of course! Stefanie and Reed Smith are self-proclaimed modern thrifters – always looking for the deal of the mid-century! With a budget of $1,500 they set out to create a bright, airy nursery. Enjoy!

i love your room! can you tell me what color paint you used on the walls as well as where you got your crib sheet set?

Love your color! The owl art is interesting, but a little creepy.

The art is a bit startling, in context of a baby’s room. But I know it will still be great in a kid’s room. I would carry the owl image around the room somewhere else so the painting feels at home. It’s a funky cool modern room.

You did all these for under $1,500??? WOW!!! Am not worthy!

Very beautiful nursery. It looks stylish and doesn’t look the least like a budget nursery. I’m undecided about the owl-themed mural or artwork though. Part of me likes it and finds it artistic and creative, but part of me thinks it’s rather dark and not quite right for a baby.

My favorite is the display shelf by the window. I love the wood in dark stain and the cute and pretty what-nots you have displayed.

I love the little owls on the shelf. Where did you get them?

On the adjacent walls, the prints (you might not be able to see) is an educational illustration of iconic design pieces, the ABC’s of design, if you will – designed by Blue Ant Studio.
