some of you might remember this ceiling that i painted a few months ago. i painted white and yellow stripes on the ceiling, and i painted the dresser in a dark blue-black with thin white stripes. well, the nursery is finished, so my client let me come back and snap some official "After" photos. can i just say I. LOVE. THIS. NURSERY. i have a feeling you guys will, too...
ultimate cuteness. they aren't going to find out the gender of the baby, and i think she did such a fun job using neutral colors! love, love, love. check out the curtains! and what about that awesome light fixture?
the other side of the room, which shows the dresser! don't you love those shiny pulls? i don't know where she got them, but i love them. i also adore the way she has the curtains tied back with the rope and silver ring pulls!
the dresser was a piece that was my client's dad's when he was younger (so it's the future baby's grandpa's! awww). this is what it looked like before i painted it:
and, after! (sorry for the crazy-lit photos! my camera kind of stinks sometimes!)
the crib! love the zebra, too. and the dots bedding. ok, i love everything.
how cute is the elephant artwork? i love all the furry friends in this room! really also love the 'rough' elements like the rope and the wooden surface that the elephant is painted on. there is also a lucite shelf hanging above the dresser that adds such a sleek, modern feel, as well. texture galore.
what a lucky baby.
this all looks so fantastic!
ReplyDeleteyou did an awesome job adding character to this nursery:)
happy fourth weekend!
thanks, barb! you are sweet! :) you have a happy 4th too!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous gender neutral room. It doesn't scream "nursery either". With a few changes, this room will work for years for the baby as he/she grows up.

I love love love this room! beautiful and such a good example of using what you have and not spending a million dollars!
ReplyDeleteYou did a GREAT job, and I agree the rough textures of the rope and the elephant artwork go perfectly with the sleek charcoal knobs and sunny ceiling!
ReplyDeleteGreat meeting you today. You are right - I totally love this nursery!
ReplyDeleteI love the stripes on the ceiling and I LOVE what you did to the dresser. It's so sophisticated that I could easily see this growing with the baby. Seriously, LOVE it. The knobs and color are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteglad you guys love the room, too! i knew it'd be a hit ... she did such a wonderful job with it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful room! I love every detail!
ReplyDeleteGreat room. Did you buy the handles? I have a cabinet with awful handles that when you take them out leave a big hole. I want your handles - I am drooling over them. Please help

ReplyDeleteHow adorable! Saving these pics for baby inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your blog. :)
I LOVE this nursery! Dont know if you had an inspiration photo when you started out but I actually have an old Domino magazine(November 2008) with a nursery that has alot of the same elements...yellow/white striped ceiling, blue/black dresser with thin white stripes, white ceiling light fixture, white slat crib.But I like yours better b/c the one in the catalog doesnt look finished(no window treatments,etc...)!:)

wow! great nursery!
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest nursery I've ever seen! Where is that fabulous light fixture from?
ReplyDeleteThis is my fave so far!! I can't even imagine the pain in the neck (literally) of painting stripes on a ceiling! you crank these projects out constantly...yay for you for being so busy!!
ReplyDeleteTried to find out if you revealed where the dresser hardware came from but couldn't find it. Can I ask where you got it from?
ReplyDeleteThanks and fantastic job!
