Amos' room is fresh and cheerful. His mom Sarah tells us how it all came together: The centerpiece of the room is the wall decal by Designed Designer. I wanted the main palette to be a soft gray and white with pops of orange so I painted the walls Sherwin Williams Grayish.
We've been so happy with my first son's Baby Mod crib that we went with Baby Mod Modena 3-in-1 Fixed-Side Convertible Crib for Amos. My mom sewed the crib skirt out of Waverly Cross Section in Charcoal, which also makes an appearance on the pillow in the rocker and and the closet curtain. My mom made all of these and I'm so grateful! The gorgeous hand crocheted blanket was a gift from my friend Annie.
The bookshelf is an original built by my stepdad. I love how it makes books a part of the room and how easily accessible they are. The birdhouse nightlight was also crafted by my stepfather from a basic birdhouse bought at Michael's. I cut the little squirrel and bunny decals on my Silhouette using white flocked vinyl.
I got my Eames (ripoff) rocker as planned and added a grey knitted pouf from CB2 and Marius stool from Ikea. One of my favorite pieces in the room are the limited edition Heather Ross prints hanging above the rocker. (I had them first, btw!)
Beyond my original palette of gray, white, and orange, I brought in a light blue and green using the Give a Hoot Shower Curtain from Target. I bought one curtain to hang in front of the closet and an additional one for the rocker pillow and window shades. For the shades, I simply cut out some of the owls and used spray adhesive to adhere them to my roller shades.
The changing table was a generous gift from a friend which I painted blue to match the owls in the curtain. The color is Sherwin Williams Liquid Blue. I love the way the yarn initials fit above the table.
This tree is one of my favorite touches. I decided at the last minute to move one of the decals in to the corner of the room and then I added a black vinyl decal (cut on my Silhouette of course) that make it look like my husband and I carved our initials in the tree. My husband thinks it's cheesy but I don't care.
Below the tree is a table and chairs my grandparents gave to me as a child. As far as the closet, since I never EVER close my other son's closet doors I decided to remove the doors in Amos's room and make it part of the room. I painted the inside of the closet the same orange as the birds. It was scary at first but I really like the way in turned out.
In fact, I love the way the entire room turned out. It's so serene and is one of my favorite rooms in the house.
We can see why - thanks Sarah! Readers, find Sarah at Salt & Nectar.

What is the wall colour?
It's Sherwin Williams Grayish.
I love, love, love this room! Our nursery has a similar theme, so it's always great to see how another person has interpreted similar ideas. I especially love the owls on the roller shades - ingenious. And the birdhouse lamp - we inherited a birdhouse that we are going to turn into a lamp, but I wasn't sure where to cut the holes - yours is perfect! Thanks for sharing!
Strange how similar my daughter's room is to this. Same color birds, same type of bird silhouettes, white tree. The main difference is her room is predominantly light turquoise with accents of gray. http://wonderfuljoyahead.blogspot.com/2011/08/les-room-tour.html
LOVE LOVE LOVE. I wish I knew how to keep design this simple and beautiful. Well done!
Just beautiful. So refined, yet still playful. Love it. PLEASE, please tell me where I can purchase the white bookcase/display.
Thank you so much monster girl!
hhs, sadly my stepdad made the bookcase display. He has been known to sell them if you live near Kentucky!
Your stepdad should sell them on etsy.com. It's so cool, so useful and keeps the books off the ground. I'm in Vegas, no where near Kentucky!
I love this crib, could you tell us where you got it? Thanks!
Ignore request above, found it at walmart :)
