Dr. Seuss Inspired Nursery

I grew up loving the Dr. Seuss collection books. I was looking for a neutral nursery theme when I became pregnant the first time with a set of twins (boy and girl) who we sadly lost at about 6 months gestation. We got pregnant the following year and decided to keep the Dr. Seuss Inspired Nursery theme out of memory.


What brand and color of paint did you use?

We used Behr 2-in-1. We still needed about 3 coats of yellow.


If you added stripes, polka dots or other paint effects, tell us how you did it.

We did stripes the good old fashioned way, painters tape. When we took the tape off, the lines were so messed up, we ended up making them squiggled. I'm glad it happened, it looks better!!


What brand of crib did you buy? Where from?

"The grandparents" purchased a crib from Babies R Us, I don't know what brand it was.


What brand of furniture did you choose? Where did you buy it?

Again, "The grandparents" purchased everything, from Babies R Us.


What bedding set did you use? Where did you buy it?

We could not find a bedding set that we were happy with. A friend of ours bought all of the fabric and made EVERYTHING herself!!


Tell us about your window treatments, lighting, rugs, wall decor and accessories. Where did you buy them - were any handmade?

The curtains were handmade by the person who made the crib set. There is a picture hanging that my sister cross stitched, she created the pattern! She
