Show me your boy or neutral nursery (or inspiration)

[FastHands]

I think we are 95% of the way agreed on painting our nursery furniture white, and now that we know it's a boy, I'm ready to get things started!

Of course I've looked at plenty of stuff online, but I'm hungry for moooore as nothing has really done it for me yet. I kind of knew what I wanted to do for a girl, but DH wasn't really a fan so it's probably better this way anyway.

This is the only pic I could find on my phone or on Facebook, but it will give you a general idea. We were team green last time, so this is a neutral nursery, and we will use it without any changes for this baby, as our son moved up to a big boy room.

I just found this one I kind of like

I love this one too! I'm not sure I can get DH on board with pastels though. My imagined girl nursery was basically that teal/mint/whatever color with pops of coral instead of yellow. He was not a fan. haha

Here is my son's nursery. It's navy and orange with espresso colored furniture.

Nice! We live too close to gator country to do blue and orange, but we have a tan/dark-beige wall color in there now, and a navy like that would probably go well without requiring painting the wall (BONUS!). Thanks for sharing!

We aren't finding out genders. I always wanted gray walls, white furniture. We're doing teal accents mainly, but there may be pops of yellow or other colors in there. Here's my fav inspiration:

Here's my gender nuetral nursery inspriation:

We aren't finding out the gender, so we plan to do gray and yellow. The bedroom walls have already been painted with Behr Ashes. We will be going with a white crib and changing table.

Orange and blue should NEVER be ruled out.

Also, I can't decide which one, but I really want one of these in the nursery: www.spinelessclassics.net/

We are not finding out so I am also looking for neutral colors.

I am digging Owls lately

I want to do a travel theme. Currently the bottom half of the walls are wood paneling, which I want to paint like the basket of a hot air balloon, walls above painted of a landscape spread out below, and probably fabric on the ceiling to look like the balloon itself, with the light fixture as the burner. I don't have a concept picture, but the bathroom in the Jules Vern room at the B&B where we went on our honeymoon was decorated like this, and I just fell in love with it.

Plus we have all these souvenirs from our various trips that need somewhere to be on display.

Though who knows if I'll be able to make time to actually make it happen, lol. There are like a million things our house needs more than a cute nursery.

I was going to suggest orange and light blue, as that's what I've done for our gender-neutral nursery. Would that be too "gator-y"?  I'm not ready to share pics yet, because DH is building the crib by hand and it's not quite finished yet (Agh! 2 weeks away from due date! I want it done!), but this was my inspiration:

Here's a shot of the crib skirt my mom and I made for the crib. The closet curtains will be made from the same fabrics. I'll try to post pics of the finished nursery when the crib is done.

This was what I did for DS1 and we are reusing it for DS2. I know not everyone is into brights for a nursery, but I wanted something bright and fun. I made the crib skirt, changing pad covers, some of his blankets and added coordinating fabric for the bumper. Ton of work, but I still love that room

[mrspost08]

I love this nursery & it's my inspiration for ours. I wanted a calm room.

[bowies]

I don't have any pics of ours yet since it's still a hot mess in there, but I can give you the paint colors.

Walls: Benjamin Moore Winter Gates (gray)
Ceiling: Benjamin Moore Hale Navy
Accent colors: Sherwin Williams Lime Rickey and Behr Peacock Feather (or similar)

The furniture is a mix of white and espresso, contemporary in design.

Here's DS's room:

And I really, really want a map/geography theme. If this is a singleton, we won't find out the gender so this would work for either. I want a light mint green on the walls, a grey crib, and maybe white dresser or mint dresser. I pinned the bottom two nurseries.

We're loosely basing our nursery on these. I love the mix of neutrals. We're going to end up having a mix of woods in the room too--light wood for the crib and chair rockers, white dresser, and end table, and dark wood mirror and bookcase. The colors will be white, cream, gray, a little bit of gold, and yellow (pillow for chair, lamp, and some of the pictures have some yellow in them). There won't really be a "theme" but the prints I have are woodland animal watercolors, and I bought an owl bank from Target that's adorable.

I like the mixed wood! I keep forgetting you didn't find out. When I see your pics I always think boy.

sewpinkgal where did you get the nursery rug? It's adorable!

Thanks! It's by Momeni and we bought it on Overstock.com. Here is the link, though I know it is sold on other sites, too.

I love the print, but it sheds more than I would like for a rug for a nursery. Not sure if we got a bum one or if that is just the way it is made.

Here's a link to my Pinterest board for the nursery, we've done a lot in there but it's definitely still a work in progress. It's pretty color saturated though, I'm not sure if that's your thing. I always admire neutral, calm rooms but I just can't seem to resist a good theme.

[ringstrue]

This was DDs room BUT we are using the same nursery stuff for DS, so just remove anything pink from your brain, .
