We are slowly making progress on the nursery. It doesn't help that every time I go to do or buy something, I'm sure I should toss the whole plan (I actually thought about doing matte pale gray with white trim the other day.....). WTF happened to nesting? I missed it this go around.
But, we are proceeding as planned--because I made the plan before the fatigue got hold of my decision making powers.

Still to do:
- Hanging art
- Take down shelves down, painting the window trim green and the sashes a matte black (I think)
- Chair slipcover
- Window solutions that aren't snow white
- Add shelves to closet (terrifying!)
When I'm stressed about the glossy green, I just look at the closet--I really love the wallpaper (wish I could have just hit the whole nursery with it....). The Million Dollar Baby changing table is not great quality (well, same as you might see at a Buy Buy Baby or Babies R Us nursery section, but if this came from Land of Nod I would be livid). It should last a few years, and for 300, I don't really care. I'm thinking gold knobs and detailing....
Should I paint the changing table top a different color?
While I contemplate my choice of high gloss paint, let's check out some of the amaze-balls, first-world, totally indulgent decor/toys that are currently on the market, as styling can really make a nursery.

In a 10x10 room, we can't have it all. So the question for you is: What to buy?
I'm LOVING the green, and I'm loving how you went full-fledged on the trim and doors. Oh, and the wall paper! I adore it all!
ReplyDeleteBTW - My vote is for the giant stuffed animal in the nursery. The rest of the options should go in the playroom. I mean, it's only good parenting to introduce your children to Eames and Starck at an early age. :)
My vote is for giant stuffed animal. It's soft and no one will get hurt should they fall on it in a burst of enthusiasm etc. The giraffe is a good combo - it's got the cool Serengeti vibe and it's face is serene. The wall paper looks great and as a life long fan of the color green all i can say is well done.
