Jamieson Not to sound snooty but it's called an abacus. Checked in products in houzz referred to CB2 wall decor. Unfortunately I don't see the item listed, keep looking and I'm sure you can find one. Good luck!

Anne DeCocco Silvery Moon/1604 by Ben Moore. I clicked on "more info" beneath the photo and one of the many fabulous green tags told me! I love those tags.

Is the Bold Yellow paint semi-gloss? »
· Comment · 21 months ago
The Shabby Nest This looks to be semi-gloss. Semi- gloss is the best finish for furniture pieces. It is easy to clean and the sheen is not too glossy.

What was the source of the colorful abacus? It is terrific and unique. »
· Comment · 2 years ago
donnajohnson Yes, I thought I had done that but no tags appeared on the abacus. But please excuse me if I overlooked the tag! In any event, thanks for responding so promptly with the information I requested. I LOVE Houzz and perusing so many fabulous and inspiring photos--it's my new guilty pleasure! Donna

Sheila Schmitz No problem at all; just wanted to be sure you knew about that feature. So glad you are part of the Houzz community, Donna! I hope you come back to show us what you do with the abacus. ;)

What Houzz contributors are saying:
This sunny-yellow painted dresser also doubles as a changing station in a nursery. Tip: Source thrift stores, flea markets and yard sales for affordable furniture finds that are still in good condition. A fresh coat of paint will add instant style and give your piece a custom look.
Abacus. This gigantic wall piece is pretty sweet, isn't it? It's from the CB2 collection in case you are interested. Tip: I'm guessing that something like this would be pretty easy to replicate with a handful of dowel rods, paint, an old frame and some large wooden beads if this version is not in your budget. Maybe you can even get your other half in on this one (if, of course, you fall into the right vs. left household I'm talking about).
added by Vanessa Brunner to Get This Look: Colorful, Classy Nursery
Storage is key in a nursery — especially when it comes to your changing table. This chest of drawers turned changing table is great because it offers a ton of highly organized on-hand storage, but it also can stay in the room as a functional piece in the post-diaper stage. The combination of wall shelves and storage hampers work as great organizational tools too.
added by Shawn Gauthier to 15 Ideas for Your Baby's Nursery
Add a vibrant color. Introduce your baby to a world of exciting color by painting a piece of furniture a bold shade. The lively twist will give the room a focal point.
This vintage chest of drawers takes on a new life when given a vibrant paint job, and it stands out even more when placed against a soft, light gray wall.
Primer is important because without it, your paint will chip, peel, and bubble. Stains from the wood below will show through. It is key to achieving a saturated color such as this sunshine yellow-colored dresser used as a changing table in a nursery.
added by Jen Jafarzadeh L'Italien to Happy Color: A Rainbow of Dressers
This dresser is painted a yellow that simply spells cheerful. And for now, it's doubling as a changing table. Don't be afraid to try a bright or intense color for a dresser. Choosing a color to paint furniture can be simply based on a color you love. As an accent color, yellow sings.
Another dresser-turned-changing table gets new life with a bright yellow coat of paint.
8. Repurpose and salvage.Decorating a child's room need not cost a fortune. Look to vintage sources and even other rooms in your house for furniture you might be able to use. For instance, an old dresser can be a changing table now and still be useful when the little one has moved on from diapers.If you are doing a lot of vintage shopping for your child's room, the pieces you bring home may not match each other in finish or style, and that's OK. You can easily repaint the pieces in a color you love, and the new hue will make the mismatched furniture feel like part of an intentional collection.
