What brand and color of paint did you use?
The blue walls were painted with Behr Premium Ultra in Serene Sky.


If you added stripes, polka dots or other paint effects, tell us how you did it.
I drew a tree on the wall with pencil and then painted it with brown acrylic craft paint.


What brand of crib did you buy? Where from?
The crib is an espresso sleigh crib from Pottery Barn Kids.


What brand of furniture did you choose? Where did you buy it?
The dresser is from Cottage By the Sea, a small boutique store, and we used a Pottery Barn Kids changing tray on top of it. The glider is also from Pottery Barn Kids.


What bedding set did you use? Where did you buy it?
The bedding is the organic cream cotton set from Land of Nod. I wanted the bedding to be very simple in order to balance out all the patterns, colors, and textures on the walls.


Tell us about your window treatments, lighting, rugs, wall decor and accessories. Where did you buy them - were any handmade?
The drapes and changing pad coordinate with the bedding.
