Where is Los Angeles?

Definitely paint the shutters black. The trim and panel around the window leave white. I agree with the idea of getting shutters that go to the bottom of the panel.

Seems like every other post on every other design blog these day is sponsored by this or that retailer. This room is the originality and creativity we need to see more of. Beautiful room, beautiful colors, beautiful design. Very nicely done.

Never would have picked this wall color. But, with the teal dresser it is just stunning! Love this.

Beautiful. What is the paint color on the walls?

Thank you for the kind comments! I did make the curtains using fabric from Amy Butler's Lotus line. The rug is indeed from CB2. I had my eye on this for a long time before I found the perfect spot for it the house. It is fun watching our two year olds try to play hopscotch. The pendant lampshade is from Velocity Art and Design (Norm 03). It has to be assembled, which is quite time consuming, but well worth the effort. The play kitchen is made by Elves and Angels, a family run business in Maine. I believe Nova Naturals sells it.

I second the idea of having crib bedding custom made in some of Amy Butler's fabrics. I am just finishing up my daughters' room and we did gray walls with fabrics from Amy Butler's lotus line and I love how it turned out. If you are looking for a twin duvet cover for now or down the road, West Elm has some beautiful light gray and ivory patterned bedding right now.

I am looking for a gray coverlet exactly like the one featured in photo 1. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, love the duvet cover in that photo. Where is that from?

Restoration Hardware's Sycamore Green mixed by Benjamin Moore (they have the formula, but bring in the color swatch) is a beautiful gray green that looks nice with white trim and changes color in different light. Also, Benjamin Moore's Silver Fox, which is recommended often on AT.
