Birch Tree Baby Nursery

My Birch Tree baby nursery was inspired by the paint color (Benjamin Moore, Robin's Nest) and the accent colors of orange and brown. Then I saw wall decals of birch trees and had to have have something like them in my nursery. I was encouraged to paint my own trees free-hand after seeing other nurseries with similar themes online. We chose this idea before we knew the sex of our baby, and I think it is very gender neutral without being boring.


What brand and color of paint did you use?
Benjamin Moore, Robins Nest (eggshell).


If you added stripes, polka dots or other paint effects, tell us how you did it.
I added the trees on the wall by laying them out in Photoshop based on the room measurements. Once we were happy with the proportions, we projected the layout on the wall. Unfortunately, due to the layout of our house, it was very difficult to get the projection on the wall correctly, but we could get the rough idea of placement. Once we started painting, it turned out to be really easy and fun! We just used white latex paint (eggshell) over the base color.
