My nursery fabric came in! PIP

My nursery fabric swatches came in! You can't really tell, but the aqua and orange are also in the paper airplane fabric. My H loves planes and I have the very best memories of my grandpa making paper airplanes with us and flying them around, and his name will be the baby's middle name. I don't know exactly how we're using each fabric yet. The paper airplanes will just be some small touches. The big one will probably be the crib skirt and a pillow for the glider. Any thoughts on what color to paint the wall? Keep in mind that we rent so if it's not a neutral, we have to paint it back (which we are happy to do if we need to).

Oh and one more question! I think it needs another color. Maybe yellow? I love to decorate, but am not very good at it!

I  love those fabrics!!! So adorable!

[vtdiamond]

Love the fabrics, especially the aqua and red one!

Maybe grey for the walls?

Those are the same colors I am using in my nursery and have used in several parts of my house in general.

I have also added at varies times white, yellow, dusty purple, grey

I've seen some things where lime was added too.

[estrellita]

Love those! I agree with grey for the walls!

So cute!!! I like the grey for the walls too! And I agree I was going to say yellow for a third color, or maybe a lime green, but that might depend how the colors look in person.

Eta: SW makes a nice light greigey grey called Worldly Grey. Sort of goes with the theme too!

My H has informed me that gray is the color of depression and despair and we cannot put that in a nursery. I told him he has no business making decorating decisions!

Lol!! How about greige or taupe? Does that sound better

Ok how about a really really light and airy Aqua? One that is the same time as the real you have? Sort of emulates the sky...

No way! DD's nursery was gray and it was beautiful. It's such a great background color and makes everything else really pop off it. (I kind of hate using that term, but it works!)

[krystee]

That's what I told him! It's a classic neutral and a beautiful base color for a room. He is adamantly against it. I like the idea of the light aqua. Since we are not using a ton of the aqua fabric, it wouldn't be too overwhelming.

I love, love, love the fabrics. Where did you order from?

I would do a pale aqua (with gray tones) for the walls.

Also you need this:

and this:

626 I ordered from spoonflower.com. I had never heard of it, but I searched plane fabrics on Pinterest and both of these happened to be from there.

Very cute! I like grey for the walls too, but if your H hates it, light aqua would be pretty too.

[MrsAggie]

I love the fabrics! So cute! Another vote for gray walls. I think light gray is cool and calm, not depressing

[rachelgreen]

Hahahahaha. You *know* I know all about your DH's love for my city but now it's going to be your theme too?? I think that it is adorable and so appropriate. I can't wait to see the finished products.

Now as for your questions, I think a gray with blue undertones would work well on the walls and then punches of yellow would look awesome too.

[demandypants]

I love the fabrics! Especially the one in front. Such a great palate for a nursery! and gray walls are not depressing. Silly DHs.

It's also the theme of about half the baby outfits we've purchased. And I think we're doing our maternity photos at the airport H flies out of. Have I mentioned he's obsessed?

I freaking love it. That means that you should do some pics from my house too, lol.

So cute!! I love the airplane theme. I think grey would be nice for the walls, or a pale blue.

[626]

krystee have you seen this too?

I think they sell it on Amazon and Roseberry Rooms too.

Would be perfect for your nursery - I just love the theme. Kind of wishing I'd done something similar!
