Contemporary Baby Animal Nursery
http://www.pepperdesignblog.com/?p=9913

Our contemporary-meets-traditional nursery fits perfectly in our 1930s home and offers plenty of handmade projects to inspire. When we didn't know the sex of our new baby, we opted for a gender-neutral baby animal-themed space. After meeting our little girl, coral was brought in as an accent color through the curtains, bedding and artwork. Handmade projects include: custom glider cushions, a made over changing table, felt butterfly mobile, hand painted wall art, matching crib bedding, fabric pennant, coral curtains, fabric lined bookshelf and baby clothing art.

How to paint bathroom tiles - Bought a resale and can't immediately afford to replace the bathroom tiles. How do I paint over or use some sort of painting technique to camouflage basic 4x4 shiny white tiles? »

Morgan Spenla Hi Hayley, much of the crib bedding was handmade (with the exception of the coral bed sheet). You can find more here: http://www.pepperdesignblog.com/2011/05/03/project-nursery-handmade-bedding-finished/

klikas Thanks! For the wall with the stripes, did you bring the color down to 25%?
6 weeks ago ·
Morgan Spenla Actually down to 35% for the stripes, but a more drastic transition would look nice (the stripes in this room are very subtle).

Hello. Love the rug! Where can I find it? »
· Comment · 7 months ago
Morgan Spenla Hi Tessa, this is a generic rug from Home Depot or Lowes - found it all rolled up in the carpet section! It holds up to the wear and tear of a toddler very well. I highly recommend Overstock for affordable, plush white rugs as well, we've gotten several for a great deal + low cost shipping.

Morgan Spenla Hi, the glider is by Stork (we found it on Amazon at a great price) and I had slip covers for the cushions made out of a favorite fabric from Thibaut. You can read more about it by searching the nursery posts at: PepperDesignBlog.com. Thanks!
