We picked benjamin moore's morning sky, which is a peaceful light aquamarine blue that reminded me of the sea. We love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-choose-a-color-for-your-nursery#post-555853 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 23:30:30 +0000 JoeysMama 555853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: That was so nice of your husband! </p> <p>Our nursery used to be my husband's office and he painted it a light blue when we moved in several years ago. When we found out we were having a boy, we decided to leave it that shade. It was one less thing to do and I love it now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-choose-a-color-for-your-nursery#post-555692 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:07:39 +0000 Minnie_Girl 555692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were team green, and I wanted a color that could swing in either direction. I also wanted a soft, soothing color, and not something neutral--so powder blue it was! We chose Benjamin Moore's Glass Slipper and it's jut perfect. Picking a paint color is so tough. This is the first time I felt like I nailed the tone I was going for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-choose-a-color-for-your-nursery#post-555655 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:50:31 +0000 Mrs. Polish 555655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just decided that I wanted gray since we were going neutral and I wanted to avoid yellow and green. I picked Seal by Glidden but had it color matched to Behr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-choose-a-color-for-your-nursery#post-555651 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:48:47 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 555651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we moved from Seattle, we brought a can of my favorite blue and painted the nursery that color. In this house, one room was already robin's egg and the other was brown, which is Lala's favorite color! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-choose-a-color-for-your-nursery#post-555645 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:46:27 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 555645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: the Benjamin Moore dragonfly? I love that color. I will use it in my house somewhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-choose-a-color-for-your-nursery#post-555610 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:33:50 +0000 Smurfette 555610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were house hunting so we decided to just keep the 2nd bedroom in the condo the brown color that it was, since we weren't sure how we would be in the condo. Then I found a pink, tan, and brown crib skirt, so it was too perfect. Now that we finally have a house we went with a tan wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-choose-a-color-for-your-nursery#post-555506 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:03:02 +0000 MrsStar 555506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ours is a pastel shade of green (if that makes sense?) my favourite colour is green so that was how it was decided! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-choose-a-color-for-your-nursery#post-555452 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:48:25 +0000 MrsH 555452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: yellow with teal and plum accents?</p> <p>Our nursery to be is a guest room right now but we will repaint when the time comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-choose-a-color-for-your-nursery#post-555450 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:47:59 +0000 T.H.O.U. 555450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: we have a teal nursery!!

We just like the colors :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-choose-a-color-for-your-nursery#post-555445 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:46:55 +0000 prettylizy 555445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The room that became the nursery was a really jarring blue colour when we moved in, so I brightened it up by going with a much softer lighter blue. We decided to keep that blue and add yellow and green to make a gender neutral nursery that I love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-choose-a-color-for-your-nursery#post-554881 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:45:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 554881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my DH and I moved into our house we picked a room to turn into the nursery one day. We didn't put much furniture or decorate it because we didn't want to have to change it when we got a bfp. I always imagined painting it teal, navy, or plum. Last time I went out of town my DH decided to surprise me and he painted the room yellow! I was shocked and kind of mad at first, but it has really grown on me. I love the color now. So I guess we will have a yellow nursery. </p> <p>Did you paint your nursery before getting pregnant? How did you choose the color? </p>
