apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

You did a great job- it's a beautiful room. I love all the vintage items that you mixed with the modern crib.

I love the yellow color! Warm and sunny not too bright.

I love the green acessories...especially the Ugly Dolls!

Love it!

Are those Margaret Keane prints? I love those, my husband and I have had a print in all of our homes, and some people find them "creepy" but we love them! Very sweet room.

The prints were a gift in high school and I'm not sure who they are by. I know what you mean by some people find them "creepy" but I love them too!

i loooooooove this room!

I love how you used the extra fabric on the dresser. The whole room is very cool!

Wow, I love the room! What color and brand of paint is that? It can be difficult to find a yellow that's not too pale nor too screamingly bright.

Nice. I especially like the fabric inside the drawers.

Awesome! Put together and clean and still cozy. I wish I could get my daughters room to have this feel!

Thanks for the nice comments! The paint is actually green in person, but the lighting is really bad and it looks yellow in the pictures. It is the eco friendly paint Aura by Benjamin Moore and is called fresh cut grass. This paint is amazing and the color is great in person.

What an eclectic and stylish room! I'm inspired! I especially love the clean lines of the crib -- can you let us know where it is from?

this nursery is simply adorable. Great job!

love this! i picked the same bedding.

It is an oeuf crib that we got from a great store in Toronto called Ella and Elliot.

super cute room, where did you get all the "monster dolls" from??

I love the mobile. The one with the blue robin's egg and the birds. Can you share where did you order it? thanks

We bought the ugly dolls a few years ago, but I can't remember from where. They just happened to be colors we used in our nursery and ended up looking great in there. We ordered the mobile from Spunky Sprout. Here's the link http://www.spunkysprout.com/floffamo.html. I had to convince my husband that we "needed" this mobile, but I'm glad I did because it is so beautifully made and it is my favorite thing in the room.

Lulu, where did you get the baskets in the Expedit from? We have the same bookshelf and I haven't found any baskets that I like for it yet...

Thanks!

The baskets are from Ikea. I have found that pieces of the baskets break off really easily and it seems like something Oliver could choke on. I am actually looking for different baskets for his toys. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Would the STRIKT box from ikea work?
I am a fan of see thru and plastic, personally. I bought a LEKSVIK coffee table for toy storage and ended up taking a tape measure to the superstore and found a see thru plastic container that fit like a glove. I drilled two holes in the side and tied on pretty ribbon as a handle.

That's a great idea! Thanks for the tip.

I hope you don't mind but I am going to copy this room for my son- alot of the elements I already have vintage cowboy prints, circle decals and fabric curtains- :) I have been looking for something for my sons room for a while and the color will look good with the rest of the house and still make him happy. I was stuck on what to do but seeing your room made me see the potential of what I had and it is as simple as some paint! his walls and furniture will have to be done- I like how the white looks against the wall. We moved and my son is in a smaller room now and his furniture just looks huge and obtrusive in Navy. This was a huge help! Thanks for the ideas!

You're welcome! I hope your son enjoys his new room!
