In searching for inspiration for Kaiven’s room, I found that most boy nurseries felt like an extension of the mom – Just another room for her – I wanted this space nursery to be for him and not for me. I also wanted the space to be able to grow with him.

Any chance you know the type of projector your friend used? Love this look! You did a great job.
FunKrista
its one that he hooks up to play movies in his backyard on a big screen.
i don’t know what brand or anything, but we were able to connect it to my laptop and googled images of constellations to put up on the wall.
were you wanting the specific brand? if so, i will ask him and get back to you!

Can you tell me where the constellation wallpaper is from?

It’s not wallpaper. I hand painted it.

Hi Krista. This is beautiful! What is the color/brand of the blue wall paint? It’s wonderful!
Elle
Hi Krista,
can you please tell me where you got your light from? I love it, its so unique but simple.
Thanks
Elle
Hi Krista,
Sorry, just saw that you got it from Ikea, thanks!
FunKrista
Hey Elle – it’s from IKEA, but the copper bit is an addition that my husband added. We got copper piping from Lowes (i want to say it was about 20$ for the roll?) and he just sort of…haphazardly made it work. :)
FunKrista
@wendy – the blue is Valspar Indigo Streamer
@ak8282 – the cream is Valspar Dogwood Petal
both are form Lowe’s!
monica
Looks great! I have an off-white, black chevron shag carpet that I’m struggling to find curtain fabric for. I love the curtains you have, do you remember where they are from?
justina
Hello, I was searching a light for my kid room and your’s is absolutely amazing! I’m thinking of doing something similar, do you know the diameter of copper piping? And can you tell me where did you hide the end of pipe? ;) Thank you!!
FunKrista
@monica – they are from urban outfitters. we have recently moved and the window in his new room is too tall for these curtains. i’d be happy to pass them along to you for 50$ for the set (orig. $39ea.)
FunKrista
@justina – the pipe we used is about 1/2″ wide. we got it from the plumbing dept. of Lowe’s. My husband got some little copper clamps and then just clamped the two together at the top where you can’t really see it. We moved recently and get to redo this whole look all over again (yikes) but IKEA no longer sells these pendants. Big ole’ giant “boo” there. but they do have something similar that we are going to attempt to recreate this look. hopefully it turns out as cool!
Kaci
@funkrista – we are ready to embark on this wall for my new babe’s room! Did you have a fave image you used with the projector? I am so afraid of doing it wrong…which is silly, I know. lol
FunKrista
@kaci girl! i feel your pain! when we first did this project i sat staring at the wall, hugging my knees and rocking back and forth whining about how hard life is! Since we did this nursery, we have also moved so….i got to do the whole thing all over again. (boo) do you think i tackled this project fearlessly the second time around bc i’m a professional constellation painter now? NO. again. i sat in the floor hugging my knees rocking back and forth!
but. this is the image i used both times: http://artlovelight.com/wp-content/uploads/star-map-equatorial.jpg
i want to see pics when you are done!!!!!
MaeB

FunKrista

Brittany
What brand/size paint pen did you use for the constellations and about how big were the stars made from the stamp? Thanks!
Xochitl
Where is the rug from?
Courtney Guay
I am doing the same thing to my babys room. When you projected your images onto the wall did you use a constellation map to make the stars in their accurate spots? Or did you just project constellations at random?
chrystal
Hi! LOVE the room! What’s the paint color for the constellation wall?
Khyathi
What brand/size paint pen did you use for the constellations. Did you use Silver color?
