The day I found out we were having a boy I started pinning modern nursery pictures on Pinterest. All my pins had fun wooden accent walls behind the crib, I loved the look of it! When Cam was born we were in the process of selling our house and I didn't want to do the project there and now that we have been in our new home for 3 months I felt ready to tackle his room and make my vision come to life! This project really requires 2 power tools: a saw (I used a miter) and a nail gun. Another side note is that the pieces of wood are long so you will need some type of truck to get them home.
First up was figuring out a paint color. The nursery furniture we have is the Simmons Kids Slumbertime Monterey line from Target in Rustic Gray. We have the crib & matching 7 drawer dresser.
The color on the walls in most of our house, including the nursery, is classic gray by Benjamin Moore which you can see on this before picture below. I love navy blue for a boy's room but was nervous it would clash too much with the crib. I looked at a lot of different shades of blue, sage greens, and light grays and landed on the perfect navy, Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore. I painted a little swatch on the wall behind the crib to see how they looked together and I defiantly was nervous but decided to just go for it. TIP: I got my paint from Lowes which doesn't carry Benjamin Moore but as long as you have the name of the paint they can color match in their system to be the exact same color!
First step was painting the wall you're going to use at the accent wall. I taped along the walls, trim, and ceiling and used a roller for most of the wall and a paint brush for the edges. I only did 1 coat because I was going from light to dark and felt like it covered very well. I picked up this $15 Linzer paint kit set from Walmart and it had everything I needed paint wise for the whole project (large and small roller with refill, paint brush, paint tray with 2 plastic liners, and paint tape.Next up was getting the materials. I have been wanting to get a miter saw for projects around the house and when I was at Walmart I saw they had an affordable line of power tools called HART. I picked up this miter saw which was on sale for under $60! This one is the same brand just a little bigger and is $130. The HART saw was SO easy to use and it was my first time! My step-dad let me borrow his nail gun for the project because I am saving up for one! Here is a list of the other materials I bought from Lowes:
- Minwax wood filler - $7
- 12 foot 2 1/4 inch MDF boards- $10 each (Lowes will cut these for you if you bring the measurements). I got 7 of these. If you go in the store to buy these they are in the trim aisle!
- Sanding block
- Target Simmons Slumbertime crib & matching 7 drawer dresser
- Custom name sign is the 35" size and cost $100 shipped
- Wipeable changing pad
- Rug 5x7 size
