| A fun panoramic from my iPhone! |
My red trimmed closet doors were inspired by Kate's. The color is Burnt Peanut Red by Benjamin Moore. The walls are Newburyport Blue by Benjamin Moore with Martha Stewart's Glass of Milk (now by Glidden) below the chair rail. You see how I made my paint color choices here.
DIY Display Stands (coming soon):
I also love the opposite side of the room. It was such a large expanse of wall I needed to break it up with a special paint treatment.
All the furniture and fixtures in the room were something I already
had. The crib was the only piece of furniture that remained untouched.
Everything else got a makeover.
I wanted to use a lot of wall art and nick-nacks that reinforced the
"nautical" theme of the room.
The picture ledges and white frames are
from Ikea. The letter J was from Home Goods. Some of the decor (like the darling $10 model ship or pair of buoys) were thrift store finds:
While others were things I made myself including.
I shot these photos on my trip up to Marin County (north of San Francisco) when I helped Kate (Centsational Girl) with her Alma house playroom. I still get all excited when I see myself on her blog! Squeee!
There was this boat, abandoned in the middle of sea of iceplant, so I shot some pictures of it.
Who knew I would use them 2 years later in a baby's room?
I also found this great printable "You are my sunshine" print from ShoesOffPlease.
Since it is currently the one song that always makes the baby smile I
used it.. I did have to photoshop it to turn it from a vertical to
horizontal print.
I can't wait for my baby boy to grow up in this room! I hope he loves it as much as I do!
Sharing at TDC's (and these) parties!
