Color

We decided to paint the nursery a Behr paint color called Fortress Stone.








This small swatch comes across less green than the actual paint color. But we liked the how it was in between a gray/sage/taupe that would allow us to switch up the room as the baby grows.


I selected 2 fabrics at JoAnns, one was a gold that has a sweet snow berry pattern. The twigs are brown and the berries are white. The 2nd is a subtle chocolate dot pattern, the small dots are gold.

I made simple window panels and have plans to make a quilt as the the weather gets cooler. May make a pillow to match but I found some great pillows from West Elm that matched the wall paint. They are mixed textures but all the same color. There's one that I'll embroider with the baby's name once we know.



My FIL and husband made a great tray top for an existing chest of drawers - this was a great way to use it as our changing table. I finished it with several different stains and then rubbed it with a bees wax matte coating instead of using lacquer.

I bought a sweet little side table for like $20 at Hobby Lobby. The distressed finish works great in the room.

Stay tuned...more posts to come!
