So here it is, the nursery is completed...FINALLY! It's not easy working on a room between baby naps!
I contemplated painting the ever-so-popular tree mural on this wall, but decided I wanted something a little different.
Since we live steps from the water and Gray comes from a long line of sailors (on his dad's side...haha, definitely not mine...I get seasick, ugh.)
I decided a simple nautical feel would be perfect for the room.
I painted the upper portion of the room BM Blue Bonnet while keeping the lower portion BM China Blue. I used poster board to create a template for the "waves" using a large bowl as the "half moon" shape.
I found a sailboat silhouette on the internet
and freehanded the image in a large scale on the wall with a pencil. I then painted it with a custom color that I mixed up myself.

You are AWESOME!! This nursery is worthy of being featured in the Serena & Lily catalog or something b/c it certainly has that high-end yet soothing vibe.
Gray's so lucky. =]
I love this room! The mural looks wonderful and the green houndstooth bedding is adorable! Where is it from? You did such a fantastic job :)
Gorgeous! I love the soothing colors, the simplicity combined with the creativity is genius.
Gives me hope that a nursery CAN get finished once the baby is here!
I hope Gray enjoys his nursery for many years to come! It will definitely grow with him!
