nursery - blue paint for a girls room and wall decals

[Anonymous]

What do you think of a light grayish blue wall for a girls room? If anyone has done this, can you recommend a good color?
Also, have any of you used wall decals? Do they look nice or does it look like a big sticker? I haven't seen any in person.

First Snowfall (1618) by Benjamin Moore. I had our nursery painted this color not knowing the gender and it's perfect! Sometimes it's blueish gray and other times it's like a pale shade of violet.

I had bedding made by JavisDavis.com in the cottontail toile pattern and it matches perfectly!

Fwiw, blue has historically been for girls and red was for boys.

Pp here. That was supposed to be #1618

Thanks! I will look at that today. I appreciate it.

We didn't know what we were having, and painted blue as well. My plan had been that if DC had been a girl, we would have accented with a pink rug and some other accesories.

I have seen robin's eggshell blue in a number of girls' rooms -also very pretty. And i like the sound of PP's blue.

We did blue as well for our nursery - actually the room was already blue and we didn't change it. Worked lovely for a little girl matched with pinks and purples. Then when we moved house our DD chose blue herself!

You may want to look at Farrow and Ball colors. They have some beautiful grays/blues. By the way, DD's favorite color is blue...and I don't see anything wrong with that

Wall decals are fabulous! We bought a few off etsy from Simple Shapes and another vendor whose name I can't remember right now. They're awesome! They looks great, were easy and fun to put up, and let non-artsy people like my DH and I have a creative looking, cute nursery.

Love that etsy site - I had not heard of it before. Thanks!

I used the dotted decals from Giggle -- their animals stickers are really cute too -- on a blue wall and it looks really cute.

Our room is blue (two girls) and we have wall stickers all over. Both Seasons by Wallcandy and another flower form some other brand. Love them!

Check out the blue at PBK in White Flint in the girls section near the front of the store where they had it painted with a wave design on top --- it's a Benjamin Moore Color --- they have it labelled on the wall. Beautiful!

We used Farrow & Ball's Borrowed Light for our daughter's room and love it. We even used a "boy" blue toile for the crib skirt, then brought in some pale greens and pinks in the curtains, mobile, etc. It's such a calming space; I love spending time in there with her.

I also got wall decals from etsy for the nursery & were so happy with how they looked, we got some for another room in our house that we had a blank wall we wanted something on.

We used a light bluish-green-gray. Get SO many compliments and it's so calming, plus it looks great with the rest of the house. I just couldn't do the pink thing for the house, even though I'm not opposed to pink (and dress my DD in pink a lot).
