A fresh coat of paint is my absolute favorite way to not only update a room but to add a little drama. Sarah, mother to three-month old Griffin, must agree. By painting the room a warm shade of cafe-au-lait, she created a rich backdrop for an elegant and sophisticated nursery. Inspired by Dwell’s Circles crib bedding, Sarah used a few old pieces from other rooms in the house alongside the new crib, glider and rug to get a clean and eclectic feel. Other finishing touches include a bookshelf made by Griffin’s grandfather and vintage family photos in crisp white frames. The alphabet cards positioned above the crib add just the right touch of modern. Read on for more details.

There’s a *very* similar bookshelf by The Land of Nod: http://www.landofnod.com/family.aspx?c=74&f=5381&pc=16

Wow, what a great room. Sarah must be a super-great mom to expose her son to good design at such a young age. :)

Add me to the list of people who wants to know where that bookshelf is from. That’s exactly what my twin daughters need.

The bookshelf was made by my stepfather. He actually worked off a picture I saw on a real-life nursery featured in another blog! I think Walmart had a very similar one at one time but I can’t find it anymore.

Wow, simple but creative — love the nursery! I really like what you did with the Charley Harper cards. I have them and have been trying to think of how to display them in my (future) nursery. I was thinking somehow on the closet doors, but I like the wall application too.
I also love his name.

Love the alphabet card idea. How did you apply them to the walls?

I used those 3M strips. I tried glue dots first then double stick tape but they fell so I had to try something more hardcore.
I used a ruler to set the width apart and applied a strip to the bottom and top. It actually went a lot smoother than I had expected.

[…] is your favorite item(s) in the room? The bookcase is my favorite item. I saw something similar on Project Nursery and fell in love with it. I told my husband exactly what I wanted and the measurements, and he built […]

How did you hang the paper lanterns? Would love to know – your room turned out beautifully!
