Lucy's Room

Lucy's room
Lucy's room is still a bit of a work in progress. We painted the walls Graceful Grey from Behr. I searched high and low for a grey that would be a true grey and this is really the one.

It magically matches her Sweet Sunshine bedding from Bed Bath and Beyond. Her bedding magically matches and contains very similar leaves and birds as the print given to us by Kate Mackley for Margot that says "Shine on." We bought a giant shaggy white rug from Amazon.com, but I ended up liking it for the living room better. So the living room rug went into her room.

Lucy's string orb movile
I made a string orb mobile to go over her bed. I originally made nine white, pink, grey and yellow orbs, but Daniel preferred a "less is more" approach, so we ditched 6 of the orbs and hooks. We bought the mobile from Amazon.com.

Lisa Walter's painting in Lucy's room
We've been slow to actually choose and purchase the art for Lucy's room, but we definitely know it will be Lisa Walter pieces.  She most generously gifted this one to Lucy. I love her style. If I were to be a painter, I'd want to paint like her.

Lucy's knitted baby blanket
I knitted Lucy a baby blanket. It's off white with a yellow border. It ended up being much larger than anticipated. Perhaps it will be a toddler blanket.

Lucy's room
Lucy's changing table is the Expedit Bookcase from Ikea with a changing pad strapped on it. I love these shelves. We probably have too many in our house.

There is more art to choose and hang to round it out, but for now it's a lovely room. Basic, but not too minimal. Lucy's room gets a lot of sunshine and I'm happy every time I walk in there.

Love the color scheme! Adore the blanket and mobile you made, too.

This is gorgeous- I like the changing pad idea. If we had room for one, I'd totally steal this idea.
