I used to do needlepoint (my grandma was our summer childcare) and I’m sure could find a kit or something, maybe for something leafy/botanical.</p> <p>@bees_knees: malted milk looks exactly like the color of my elementary school bedroom! It is uncanny. I’m not against pink, in general. We have light floors and white trim, though, so that color may not be ideal in our space.</p> <p>I did see this picture <a href="https://uwdecals.com/products/ferns-eucalyptus-wall-decals" rel="nofollow">https://uwdecals.com/products/ferns-eucalyptus-wall-decals</a> that I thought looked dreamy, with a crisp white wall and some green accents elsewhere. For my older daughter I painted a mural of mountains behind her crib, so I feel like it would be a nice symmetry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-colors#post-2927212 Thu, 07 Jul 2022 13:19:55 +0000 bees_knees 2927212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure how you feel about pink, but our daughter’s room is Sherwin Williams Malted Milk and it is the perfect sophisticated blush color! It looks great against our dark wood trim and brass accents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-colors#post-2927211 Wed, 06 Jul 2022 18:40:22 +0000 winter_wonder 2927211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@karenbme: we painted my daughter's room yellow and really like how bright and cheery it looks! My grandma also made little embroidered frames pieces that we hung in her room, similar to the one in this pic. </p> [attach=5135/22/remhra.270x600.Screenshot_20220706-183946.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-colors#post-2927209 Wed, 06 Jul 2022 13:58:20 +0000 karenbme 2927209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m due with #2 at the end of the year and ordered a pullout sectional at lunch today for when our guest room converts to nursery #2 and learned that they’re operating on a 3 1/2 month lead time, which means I need to order basically now to have any wiggle room before my due date, but I’m drawing a blank on nursery colors. </p> <p>Baby is a girl. Big sister’s room is violet and blue so I wouldn’t want to repeat that. The room is already painted a pale grass green that could work for a nursery but I have no ideas for complementary colors, or we could always paint. Help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-pair-with-a-turquoise-wall#post-2225346 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 15:09:15 +0000 MsMini 2225346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go with a big bold pattern that has some turquoise in it, as well as another accent colour in the coral/orange/yellow family, then I would put the coral/orange/yellow onto the couch as solid throw pillows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-pair-with-a-turquoise-wall#post-2225315 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 14:44:36 +0000 Umbreon 2225315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady baltimore: I really like the last print there.

We went with a fun color scheme since the rest of the house is pretty neutral. </p> <p>We painted one wall a bright turquoise, and the other three walls a lighter beige. The furniture in the room is all dark. We have some black book shelves, a black desk and a dark grey couch. All the furniture is around beige walls. Nothing is against the bright wall, so it stands out. </p> <p>There is a pretty big window in the centre of the turquoise wall. Originally, we were thinking of getting some dark curtains, thinking it would help make the wall pop. But now that we got our couch in (last night) I think there is enough black in the room, and I don't really want black curtains. </p> <p>What accent colour do you think we should consider? The couch is directly across from the window, so I think getting some throw pillows to match the curtains would be a good idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating/page/2#post-1370558 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 13:24:16 +0000 LovelyPlum 1370558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH loves it MORE than I do!</p> <p>And don't worry, there are years where our decorations have been up until Valentine's Day! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-settle-a-debate-christmas-decorating/page/2#post-1370556 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 13:23:44 +0000 MoonMoon 1370556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted other-he handles all the decorations, and taking them down.

I am nothing in comparison to him.

He does like to help me decorate but he won't do it himself. I think that is a little to do with the fact I love decorating. Christmas is my favorite holiday, </p>
