Frog Prince Baby Nursery

by Bobbie Whatley
(Iowa Park, Texas)

My daughter-in-law and I wanted a whimsical type nursery but still wanted it to be masculine. We searched and searched for some type of inspiration to help us with a theme. Finally we came across a photo of a little girl kissing a frog prince and the theme was set. We knew from the beginning that we wanted a black and white color combination and finally settled on green for our third color. From that point we let our imaginations flow…


What brand and color of paint did you use?
We used Valspar signature colors in Fresh Parsley, Black & White in a satin finish.


If you added stripes, polka dots or other paint effects, tell us how you did it.
We added striped to the bottom part of the wall by taping off 12 in. sections and painting in alternating colors of black & white. For the top border of the wall we created a connecting diamond shaped pattern using a diamond stencil I created out of cardboard. I used a small circle sponge to add metallic gold dots where each diamond meets.
