apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Emmett's 'Organic Garden' Nursery
Small Kids, Big Color Entry # 14


thumbs up

Name: Emmett
Age: 5 months
Location: Tallahassee, Florida

Color Inspiration: I wanted the room to be gender neutral since we chose not to find out the sex of our baby. I pulled the green, orange, and brown from the bedding. I painted my mismatched old dresser and nightstand the same color/pattern to look like they belong together.

Give Kristen & Emmett a THUMBS UP if you think this room belongs in the finals!

Tip For Using Color: Painting existing furniture is such a quick and easy way to intoduce a new color into a room for very little money and can make the room look a little more cohesive.

Colors Used: The wall color is Valspar "Herb Cornucopia", the trees are Valspar "Organic Garden" (leaves), and Olympic "Fudge" (trunks).
