- Margie
- Location:
- Birmingham, AL
- Division:
- Light
- Inspiration for my palette:
- My husband and I decided to be very traditional about our baby, and we did not find out the gender before hand. We wanted a room that would be gender neutral and also serene and peaceful. My sister and mother also offered to do a beautiful wall mural and cloud-like ceiling treatment, so we wanted to keep the rest of the colors light and netural so the room would not be too busy. What we did not know is how much our little bundle of joy would LOVE his light and calming piece of this world!
- Colors used in my room
- Antique whites, cream, slate grey, pale blues, greens, and pinks, and metallics.
- Tips for using color successfully
- At first, I always fall in love with key pieces. For this room, one piece was the bedding. It was the perfect gender neutral and also luxuriously soft. Then, my mother gave me the fabulous giraffe. From there, I chose soft colors that would complement and enhance the space without being too busy or predictable.

Yeah, I'm wondering too. This is a pretty room, for sure. But really the only color is white (I thought the "Light" category would be full of light colors). I get the blue is on the ceiling (but there needs to be a better photo of it if it's so important), but other than half the background of a small framed print I don't see pink anywhere. This is a good use of white, I think I counted 3 different shades. But they aren't listed separately, so well, color me confused and unmoved by this room.
I really like the light blue ceiling! Very pretty.
White is a color too, guys. I like it. It's very soothing.
This room is beautiful! Actually, there is quite a bit of subtle color in the mural over the crib and in the accessories, bedding. The photography is just soft, but also gorgeous! What a restful room for a baby!

Beautiful room, Margie! Love the clouds on the ceiling, and the topiaries with the bonnets are such a good idea!
Beautiful baby room! I love the blue cloud ceiling. So calming.
Seriously, you deleted my comment because I asked where the color was? The room is a whitewash. It's a legitimate question for an entry in a contest called "Room for COLOR." Good lord.
This neutral nursery is whimsical with pops of color that make it fresh and fun. I love it!!
Such a beautiful room and adorable baby! "Heavenly" all the way around. :)
