When we found out our sweet baby was a girl...Justin wasn't crazy about the idea of the walls remaining the blue color. (I'm pretty sure we discussed that we wanted a gender-neutral color on the walls last summer...wink wink.) Anywho...after much discussion of me politely explaining that I had strategically picked out the primer
and paint to be chemical-free...
and that I had spent some of my precious moments of my summer last year painting the room, he decided that we could make it work and it was okay if his baby girl had walls that were blue. Whew. Close one.
So I started my hunt for color inspiration to help ease his worries even more. (He's good at picking out colors of automobiles...not so much for interior design.) I wanted to give him a visual.
Here are a few things I have found online that have given me color inspiration:
This isn't a nursery...but I
love the color combo of the white, pinks, blues, browns, and greens. (This will probably be my main go-to picture as we decorate.)
I love the colors again...this time with some yellow thrown in. I also like the DIY inspiration found in the photos.
Love the whimsical feel to this one. (You can find more pics of this room by clicking on the source link under the picture.) The coral and orange colors caught my eye here.
So my big dilemma right now is deciding on the furniture color that will best accent our blueish/aqua walls with the white beadboard...white? light brown? dark brown? a mixture? I would love to hear your thoughts!
Those are all so cute! I know when I found out we were having a girl I was kind of stumped about the nursery! I had a boys room all planned out! ha! :-) I'm slowly working on finding some inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the dark crib with the blue walls, it's beautiful!!! But whatever you choose will be so cute! I can't wait to see the little room progress!!!
I really love the colors. They all blend so well. What ever yall decide will look perfect and baby girl will love it!
ReplyDeletei absolutely LOVE the first picture. the color combo is awesome. i always gravitate towards white furniture! haha! i think white or the dark wood will look nice.
ReplyDeleteI love your inspiration! And I agree with Amanda. White or the dark would look wonderful!
ReplyDeletelove the inspiration photos!!
ReplyDeleteMy vote is dark! But you can't go wrong with white either. They are just two different looks. I love both.
ReplyDeleteokay, i was wondering too if blue was gender neutral when you first posted that picture of the empty nursery but i LOVE it now with the inspiration! the white is so dainty and girly with the pink and yellow added, i cant wait to see it all finished up!
ReplyDeleteI love that you're going non-traditional with blue walls!
