Description
We did this room for around $1,100. Details on my blog: http://heidimitchellphotography.com/blog/?p=1062
Design Inspiration
First, I saw a room on Project Nursery a long time ago that had an ABC wall. I loved it and knew I wanted to do something along those lines in our nursery if the baby was a boy, which he is!
Secondly, I fell in love with the owls from DwellStudio, so I built the color scheme around that print.
Decorating Style
A balance between vintage & modern.
Project Details
We bought an old 1920's dresser at a flea market for $75. With some sanding, painting & beautiful new hardware from Anthropologie, we love how it turned out!
Wall Paint: Winter's Day low VOC by Olympic
Dresser Paint: Swiss Chocolate by Valspar
Dresser Knobs: Anthropologie
Rug: Pier One
Bedding: Design Public
Crib: Babies R Us
Favorite Items
The ABC wall & his Scripture art that I made him. Psalm 23 is one of my favorite passages from the Bible, and I love having something special that I made just for him in the room.
Advice
Choose a modern print you love, and then build the rest of the room around it.

I just love those colorful owls. And I love the framed ultrasound pic :) I think that's an original touch :)

Hi Heidi:
Thanks for answering that. I think it's still difficult getting them painted and having each look different and still come together quite beautifully!

This nursery is amazing! It's not pastel baby-ish; it's not wild and crazy over the top either. It's a perfect balance of style and fun. You did a great job! The alphabet wall is fabulous!
