Design Inspiration
Our first purchase for the room was an old sturdy dresser I found on Craigslist. I knew I wanted to work with the colors gray, black, and white so we painted the dresser a dark gray and added black hardware to it.
Decorating Style
I wanted something on the more nontraditional side. A room he can grow into and I didn't want it to feel babyish.

The dresser! It was such a fun project and felt great to take something old and make it new again. Plus it's one of a kind! I also think the blanket that my Grandma & I sewed is very special. A great memory!
Advice
Keep it simple! You don't have to use traditional baby colors in your design, think outside the box and do what you love!
Sorry I am replying so late. The new baby is keeping me busy! It’s Better Home and Gardens from Wal-Mart, the shade is Chromium Grey. Thanks for the compliments!!
I am also curious about the shade of gray paint. Looks great!
