With this room in their new home destined to be the nursery, Marynell painted it gray until she found out if she was expecting a boy or a girl, and then added color in accessories.

From Marynell:

We moved into our new house when I was in the first trimester of my first pregnancy, and we immediately knew the COMPLETELY blue room next to our master bedroom would end up being our nursery, so we painted it gray and waited to figure out the baby’s gender. Once we found out she was a girl, we set about doing our Coral, Gray and White nursery. I love how it turned out and can’t wait for her to spend her time in there!


We painted the crib, a dresser, and modified a changing table for her, as well as adding a DIY Box Valance, cushions to the rocking chair, and lots of coral accents! We are so excited to welcome her home to her cheerful room!

Thank you Marynell!
