Blue Jean and Teddy Nursery

I found a Blue Jean and Teddy Bear nursery bedding set that my husband and I both fell in love with. When we were finally expecting our son I started decorating the nursery.

I bought two kinds of blue paint and used a Woolie technique and meshed them together into a faded blue jean look. I trimmed the base board and molding with light blue. Then I hunted for a paint for the crib to match the bedding but not meld into the wall color.


I could not find a green to match, so I took my blanket in to a hardware store where they did a color match on a machine. Then had their doubts, but when it was made and it matched perfectly I cried tears of joy right there in the store! Much to the embarassment of my teenager.

I cried again a year later when I took the crib down and my son had refused to sleep in it, he was terrified of the crib for some reason.

But now the blue still matches their Spiderman and Godzilla bedding!
