Name: Sheldon Gray (10 months)
Location: Milwaukee, WI
I have always dreamed of doing a nursery and was so excited to get started once I found out I was pregnant. I am a children's portrait photographer so I have seen a lot of nurseries and been inspired by many of them! We live in a very old house but love modern design elements so I tried my best to find a nice balance between the two. My all time favorite children's book is The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein and have always wanted to try my hand at a mural. The closet mural is from the cover of the book.

This room has great bones. Well done. Love all the natural light and your choices - ESP the rug.
I wish I could have read that the mural was a vinyl wall decal purchase so I could get it!
I love the closet mural! What a great room!
what is written next to a mural? what paint did you use to draw it?
great nursery! and i LOVE cloth diapers! where is the grey felt basket from?
The mural just took me back. The first word that came to mind about this nursery, is "refreshing." Well done!
