Description
I created an aqua and orange nursery for our baby boy, Phoenix, using modern furniture and animal decor. I can't get enough of the owl theme, so I included a lot of owls, but tried to tone it down for my hubby. Although I wish I was, I am not a do it yourselfer; instead I scoured the internet to find what I wanted. Some tidbits: I fell in love with the two tone furniture. The french and english bulldog artwork look exactly like our dogs, He-man and She-ra. The Phoenix decal above the dresser was my hubby's addition to the room. You can't see it well, but the print above the bookshelf is of San Francisco, which is close to where my husband and I lived when we first met. I copied the P in the orange frame from another project nursery profile, Vera's nursery, where she had it in yellow. Oh, and that glider is expensive, but it's the most comfortable one on the planet and it's cute.
Design Inspiration
Aqua, Orange, and Brown
Decorating Style
I like modern furniture and not so cutesy animals. I wanted a nursery that wasn't super babyish, but had fun and bright colors

ricagorby,
just wanted to say thank you for finding out the paint color! we were able to get a sample of it and the color just darker than it (fog buoy) and are going with fog buoy. there's no way we would have found this perfect color without your help :)
