    My husband and I created this gender neutral nursery when we started the adoption process. We had no idea when we would be matched or if we would be getting a boy or a girl, so we had to be prepared for any scenario. We used a painting of a sparrow for our inspiration.

    My husband and I began the adoption process in March of 2010. We had no preference as to boy vs. girl and we had idea when we would be chosen or how far along our birthmother would be. We created a gender neutral nursery using a bird (nature) theme, inspired by a painting of a sparrow. I found a rug at Nebraska Furniture Mart and matched the wall color to the blue in that rug. I cut birch trees out of white contact paper to create two accent walls, and I made a mobile out of tin birds I found at Hobby Lobby and twigs from the yard.  Our son was born on September 3rd and we've been able to personalize his room little-by-little with his name and colorful toys/books. I created the artwork over his crib by cutting bird silhouettes from craft paper. I also covered paper mache letters with fabrics to spell his name.  Our son is such a blessing and we love the relaxed mood in his nursery.

        This room is just lovely.  You said you didn’t go to a traditional baby store, which really made it all the more amazing because this doesn’t look like an adult’s room just converted to house a baby.  In fact, it’s one of the loveliest nurseries I’ve seen, and thoroughly unique!

        Can I ask you where you got the hanging book holders on the wall? They are exactly what I am looking for. The room is beautiful!

        Thank you so much!  I ordered the hanging book shelves from Land of Nod. They’re called “Bin There Done That”. Lots of colors and styles to pick from.

        I love, love, love your nursery; it is gorgeous! The Jayhawk book and the W pillow are fantastic. Jonathan Adler?

        I love what you did with this room.  But I think it’s the accents that made this really standout.  Can you teach us or at least provide us with the stencil you used for the sparrows?  My favorites in this room are those that you made yourself :)

        Is that the Lullaby Glider from Target? If so, is it comfy? The yellow one would be perfect for our nursery, but I am nervous about ordering a chair I have never sat in. Thanks!

        That crib is lovely :)  And so are those stuffed toys… where’d you get them?

        It looks fabulous!  Great job creating a modern, whimsical room that your son will not out grow.  Can I ask where you bought those soft blocks?  They are exactly what I’m looking for!

        I love this rug!  We represent this line in our showroom and if you look really close, the damask pattern is made from little animals…great sophisticated style, with the whimsy a child’s room needs.  This rug is available at http://www.doodlefishkids.com and comes in two colors!

        Love this nursery! Fabulous job! Would you mind sharing the paint color? I have purchased 5 paints samples already and none of them is what I am looking for.
