For my third baby boy I wanted to create a cool, modern nursery different from ones done for my two older boys. The inspiration came from a bird wallpaper print that I found that was great, but way too expensive. I found some amazing decals on Etsy that were actually way cooler than the wallpaper and ordered them in the color scheme I wanted (Black, White, Aqua Blue and Fern Green). We painted the back wall black to offset the decals and the other three walls aqua blue. I added fern green accents throughout the room with the rug, bedding and lighting and mirrored the bird theme on the opposite wall by having decals made for a plain white dresser I found at Ikea. Quinn’s two older brothers painted some small wooden birdhouses from a craft store to line a wall shelf and then I found another large birdhouse made from recycles materials for on top of the dresser. I absolutely LOVE the custom birth announcement canvas I bought from Trendy Peas and the fabric “PLAY” letters are great too. The crib and changing table are from the Babyletto Mercer and Modo collections and the Ikea black and white lightbox provides the perfect soft lighting for middle of the night diaper changes.

      I think the birdhouses were a nice touch, and to have them painted by Quinn’s older brothers is sweet.  :)  I think you’ve done great with this room… mod without going overboard.  I love the birth announcement on the wall.  I’d like to suggest getting something for the lounger you have there, something that would bringing it up with your color scheme… but that’s just me :)

      Thank you so much for your comment and suggestion. I TOTALLY agree about the glider. It’s the one place that I couldn’t justify buying new because we already had two of them and the good ones are SO expensive. I found the throw pillow from Dwell on clearance at Target and if you look closely at the picture you can see where I started painting the cording of the chair black with a fabric paint marker. Quinn came a bit early so that project got put on hold but I’m hoping once I finish it will help tie it in a bit more.

      Hi atticuspm!

      Congrats on your baby boy, Quinn is my third and they are so much fun! :) For the decal you should send a personal message to the seller (she’s great – very responsive and created the custom dresser decal for me to go with the wall in no time). Tell her you’d like to order the decal and in what colors (there is a color chart listed or you can choose one already designed). She’ll then send you a custom listing which you can purchase. Good luck and so happy to be an inspiration for your room!!!

      Four colors in the scheme!  Now that’s quite difficult to pull off.  But you did great with the room. I love it!!!  It makes me want to take my shoes off and chill :)
