Baby Boy Nursery: Gray, navy and pops of yellow

After years of designing nurseries I was so excited to finally design my own!

I started with picking paint I wanted a blue-gray for the walls and Benjamin Moore Silvery Moon 1604 was the perfect choice for walls in a nursery where I'll read Goodnight Moon countless times. For the ceiling I choose Benjamin Moore Hale Navy - a deep blue-black that made a great contracting backdrop for the silver gray star decals I purchased from Urban Walls $39 for a package of 50 stars.

Micheal's Studio Decor Marquee Star was $39.99 but I got it on sale for $19.99

I looked high and low on etsy for a wooden name wall decor piece that wasn't absurdly expensive.

Thank goodness I stumbled across Moon Snail Creations $45 dollars for a large wooden name with lots of options for color and font!

I bought this dresser for $50! It was white and I painted it with Annie Sloan chalk paint. Chalk paint is a versatile paint that would works beautifully on furniture without priming or sanding. It's easy to use and quick to dry! I purchased the paint at an adorable shop in old town Norcross called Chalk it Up https://chalkitupnorcross.com/

For the hardware I found these navy and white knobs at Hobby Lobby for 50% off.

Instead of a bookshelves I found these great picture frame ledges at Ikea a steal at $5.99 each!

White frames $10 each from Hobby Lobby. I found these in the table frame section and just ripped off the back stands. They were originally $19.99 but frames are always 50% off at Hobby Lobby.

I had been looking for a lamp under $40 that was unique and had some whimsy but had a hard time finding something I liked. I found this clear vase lamp at Homegoods $39 that you can fill with whatever you like! I choose this adorable little hedgehog stuffed animal. I like that as he grows we can re-fill it with different things!
