Name: Blake (22 days)
Location: Boulder, CO
Color Inspiration: We wanted to bring our love of the outdoors into our daughter's nursery. We didn't want a traditional baby blue, so we went with a deeper more sophisticated blue for the walls. We found a beautiful soft green grassy rug and re-upholstered a hand-me-down rocker in a fun outdoor-inspired fabric. The tree wall decals really brought the room to life.
Color Inspiration continued: We love bright colors so we accent the room with touches of orange and pink. My mom created the floor pillows and I made the silhouettes of my husband and I on the wall.
Tip for Using Color: Be brave and sit with it before you decide to change it. The rest of our house are shades of gray, so this was a risk, but once we painted it, (and I sat with it in all kinds of light) I loved it. I wanted our daughter to be surrounded by color and life and feel this room does this for her.
Colors Used: Deep blue, a grassy green with orange, hot pink, black and white as accents.
Thanks for your colorful entry Alicia and good luck!

I love this room. It's so bright and cheery, and so personalized.
I don't know how anyone could say they are not feeling it!!! I think this is the best one yet! I LOVE LOVE LOVES it!!! Very cute!
So great!! Can you tell us the wall color and where you got that rug?
are the trees paint or stickers? What crib is that?
Oh wow what great colors! This is my favorite so far.
Kim- I think she got the rug at ZGallerie. I've been eying it myself for my bedroom. http://www.zgallerie.com/p-7581-indochine-area-rug-apple-green.aspx
Thanks for the comments. The paint is called Wipeout by Behr and the rug is from Zgallerie. The Crib is the Sparrow by Oeuf. The trees are stickers I found on Etsy. They come in a ton of pieces and was a bit time consuming to put up, but well worth it.
Can you tell me what the fabric is? I'd LOVE to re-do a chair with it.
love the room and all the pattern and textures!
I really like the tree decals from the Etsy shop... can you post a link to exactly which shop it was? I'd like to order some! Thanks!
The fabric is from IKEA! Here is a link to the decal. If it says sold, he always reposts a new one.

Do you have a source for the cloth storage bins in your expedit bookshelves (that is an expedit, right?)? I canNOT find anything that isn't straw/grass that has the right dimensions. Thanks!
And congrats on your new little one!!!
The dresser is from Overstock.com.
As for the storage bins, they are from Target! They fit the Ikea Expeit perfectly. They have several colors too. =)
