Even though Georgian Bay is bold, it brings a serene feeling to any room that is painted. I recently painted Georgian Bay as an accent wall in my son’s nursery. The room was already painted a cool shade of gray, but it needed a little something to give it more personality.
So, a grid accent wall painted in Georgian Bay was the best way to brighten up the room for an ocean theme nursery. My son is almost 5 years old and still loves the blue wall in his bedroom.
