When it comes to baby girls, everything comes in pink. Pink Clothing, pink baby accessories, pink nurseries – everything pink. I’m so sick of pink that I feel like I drank a bottle of Pepto Bismol. When the husband and I learned that we were having a little girl, we wanted to stay away from too much pink. We didn’t like the idea of indoctrination and following the cookie-cutter “girly” theory that little girls = pink. My daughter happens to like blue – does that make her a boy? Don’t get me started, I’m digressing…
Our house had been painted before we bought it and all of the bedrooms were painted a very pale grey. I had wanted to add a chalkboard wall (with black chalkboard paint) but we decided to wait until the Tiny Dancer was a little older. So, we left the nursery a pale grey and added pops of color to the room. We had some pink – just not ALL pink. I didn’t realize we were so on trend but apparently when it comes to nursery design, grey is the new pink. From very pale grey, to almost black, grey is a beautiful modern neutral. As a neutral, it works well with just about every color so you can add pops of brights or splashes of pastels or you can just highlight one accent color. Creating a blank canvas, grey is also gender neutral so if a brother and sister share a room, grey is a great option.
We are re-decorating the nursery so I’ll be doing a post on the before and after. But for now, here are some images that I found inspiring…
