It's simple and colorful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2008731 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 09:26:13 +0000 ladybee 2008731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: that nursery is beautiful!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2008683 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 08:13:27 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2008683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p> [attach=3033/15/nhnm2f.280x187.nursery1.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2008173 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 18:00:23 +0000 turquoisemama 2008173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a mix of dark wood and white with peach walls. </p> [attach=4716/15/nhmikn.600x450.image.jpg] [attach=4716/15/nhmikp.600x450.image.jpg] [attach=4716/15/nhmiks.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2008150 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 17:19:16 +0000 FaithFertility 2008150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have dark cherry wood furniture, tan walls and 1 carnation pink accent wall</p> <p>I will post picks for you in a few :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2008125 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 16:40:19 +0000 PrincessBaby 2008125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: We bought the PBK Larkin sleigh crib in mahogany for my DD1, and we did tan walls with light pink accents. It was cute, but I got tired of the dark and am getting it painted in Annie Sloan Pure White for DD2. Just thought I would throw that out there if you actually preferred white for a girl's furniture but have dark! You could always do Annie Sloan:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2007909 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 12:50:24 +0000 HTownMom 2007909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We already had gray/beige walls and light brown carpet, so we picked Lavender, Gray, and White for her nursery. The furniture is all wood with the picture frames being white and lavender sheets/accents. Gray blackout shades from pbk. </p> <p>Sorry for the poor iPhone pic quality. Congrats on the girl they are the best! </p> [attach=4679/15/nhm482.600x450.image.jpg] [attach=4679/15/nhm484.600x450.image.jpg] [attach=4679/15/nhm486.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2007788 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 10:56:52 +0000 sapphire 2007788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooh also this one!<br /> (I think that's the Pottery Barn rocker that we bought.

Although I've seen a few navy and espresso and white and if you imagine the splash of pink in there, I think it can help you visualize. Here's a couple examples of boy's rooms that could easily be made girly with a splash of pink. Also I attached one of the pieces of art we are using in our nautical themed nursery, with what it will look like when it is matted and framed in those colors.</p> <p>[attach=3707/15/nhlyv7.199x254.blue-gray.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=3707/15/nhlyv9.450x600.dark-baby-blue.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=3707/15/nhlyvb.600x399.pink-blue.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=3707/15/nhlyvc.318x375.navy-pink-pelican.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2007760 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 10:28:57 +0000 ladybee 2007760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sapphiresun: I know I've told you before but I love those pbkid floral prints.

I'd maybe add a chair rail and paint white below. Maybe a navy and white rug, white airy curtains and pink and navy accents?</p> <p>Kind of like this, but pink instead of red and more feminine curtains?</p> <p>[attach=2480/15/nhl4mf.400x600.image.jpg]<br /> Others pics I came across:</p> <p>[attach=2480/15/nhl4p1.580x435.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2480/15/nhl4p2.600x498.image.jpg]<br /> I don't love the crib against the navy wall, but it might work with white on the bottom or on a different wall.</p> <p>I also like the idea of beige walls with white, pale pink and gold. Couldn't find any great pics though...</p> <p>[attach=2480/15/nhl4ue.580x387.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2480/15/nhl4ug.600x398.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2007441 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 22:16:40 +0000 simplyfelicity 2007441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No suggestions, just wanted to say congratulations on a girl!!! :girl: :heart: :girl: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2007435 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 22:13:00 +0000 Pirouette 2007435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhhh yay!!!! We were totally convinced we were having a boy too :) we have espresso furniture and went with green walls and there's green and white in her bedding. It looks great together and with all her stuff in there, it looks girly, but everything was gender neutral </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2007434 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 22:11:03 +0000 PawPrints 2007434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats on the girl! I love espresso furniture. Here's the inspiration pic for our baby girl's nursery. It looks like two shades of blue though they are technically gray. We'll have airy white curtains and a mobile to lighten things up. DH bought the paint today! </p> [attach=1908/15/nhkzig.480x360.nursery.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2007415 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 21:48:30 +0000 erinpye 2007415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have dark nursery furniture we've used for both girls. For our first daughter we did lavender and white. We did turquoise, white, and a bit of pink for our second.

I'm just not sure on inspirational ideas! Have you started yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2007412 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 21:45:18 +0000 matador84 2007412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a pbk crib and twin bed in my kids room. The walls are actually a darkish blue-I think it is buckford blue by Ben Moore, or something like that. I love it! We have a white chest of drawers in there, a cranberry glider, the bedding on the crib is madras, the twin has a mint quilt and I can put an color in the room without it looking crazy. I was so afraid it would be too dark but I've loved it, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2007406 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 21:39:36 +0000 BandDmommy 2007406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: congrats!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2007403 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 21:35:20 +0000 sapphire 2007403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're doing navy and pink with espresso furniture. You're right, inspiration is harder to find, but I think it looks more elegant than white furniture with those colors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2007360 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 21:10:02 +0000 Hope 2007360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I think pastel/mint green and lavender would look gorgeous with dark wood. Also, pale pink and brown, or even baby blue with pink accents would look cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2007339 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 20:56:20 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2007339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: ooh I love that last pallet you posted. </p> <p>Congrats on the baby girl!!! :girl: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2007331 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 20:52:49 +0000 Ginabean3 2007331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!!!!!

If they're staying light, i think you'd probably be fine.</p> <p>We considered pink/navy for Cs big girl room. I love the combo. I think it goes really well with pops of yellow. :)</p> <p>Or pink/gray/white, with ruffles and lace, instead of lime? Or all together? </p> [attach=1353/15/nhkvzl.400x460.76e141afe31b63f79037e002b8d77abc.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-ideas-with-dark-brown-furniture#post-2007324 Fri, 02 Jan 2015 20:48:46 +0000 ladybee 2007324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: our nursery isn't huge and it feels kind of dark with the dark furniture, red, and navy.
