But, I think you have to be careful it isn't too overpowering. We tried to do mint for our old playroom and it just looked too bright/crazy, especially with all the toys, so we ended re-doing it later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1943055 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 13:08:21 +0000 catomd00 1943055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you don't want greige but check our behr chocolate froth if you change your mind! That's what we used in my daughters nursery and I love it with pink accents! </p> <p>I am totally loving a mint with gold though - would be gorgeous with the white furniture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1943050 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 13:05:02 +0000 loki 1943050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.KMM: yay, thank you! haha. i was like omg do i have the worst taste? i think it's so cute. and LOVE my inspiration pic. thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1943047 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 13:04:03 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1943047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like it with the yellow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942797 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 11:15:55 +0000 loki 1942797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: i know, i'm so obsessed with that rug! haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942786 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 11:10:28 +0000 Ajsmommy 1942786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm partial to lilac but that's b/c DD is that color (was that way when we moved in)</p> <p>I do love the mint though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942785 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 11:10:27 +0000 coopsmama 1942785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mint would be dreamy with that pink rug! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942779 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 11:08:45 +0000 loki 1942779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: ya it's funny how getting others opinions can sway your own opinion in a totally opposite direction! i do really like them all. so i'm still torn. maybe i'll let DH have the final say when he sees my amazing mock ups haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942758 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 11:02:48 +0000 Mamaof2 1942758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: nope, I winged it!

I would do a very light mint though :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942635 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 10:11:21 +0000 loki 1942635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @NeekieRose: i'm not TOO too worried about the chair because we are planning on putting our futon in there too and it's really comfy. but if i'm finding it's not cutting it, i have no problem ditching the chair and getting a better one. this one happens to be free... if we find one for cheap maybe i'll swap it out! thanks :)</p> <p>@LuLu Mom: oh ya coral would be super pretty!</p> <p>@mrsjyw: i don't actually own that rug, i just desperately wanna find something similar. but if i can find different colours, i'm cool with that. just love the stripey rug! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942587 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:51:28 +0000 NeekieRose 1942587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted mint but I think a coral would be pretty too. </p> <p>And I concur with @Smurfette, you really want a comfy chair. I originally planned on using a rocker that my MIL (who passed away) had used for DH but it was not comfortable. In the end I was so glad we got a super comfortable recliner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942577 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:47:49 +0000 mrsjyw 1942577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE the pale lilac, but with the pink rug I'd go with the mint! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942573 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:45:46 +0000 Radish 1942573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mint! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942572 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:44:56 +0000 LuLu Mom 1942572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. Our themes are almost identical, I just bought a deer for DD2 nursery ;) and also have those gold polka dots already that I will be using too. Our colors are cream, gold, and coral with dark brown furniture. </p> <p>2. I love the mint and lilac (I'm not much for pink) </p> <p>3. Another option is a light coral, that's what we are doing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942568 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:44:13 +0000 Smurfette 1942568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: Mint if you are going to do a pink rug.</p> <p>If you are planning on BF, get a comfy chair. I get the meaning behind the chair you want to use, but if it isn't comfy, you will be miserable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942567 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:43:48 +0000 Adira 1942567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the mint! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942560 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:42:25 +0000 loki 1942560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: @avivoca: ya i really didn't want to do pink at all but loved the way it looked when i tried it out... surprised myself! but ya i'd definitely go with a suuuuuuper light, barely there pink.</p> <p>@yellowbird: my orginal thought was to do mint... but when i started playing around so many colours looked great. i loooove mint i just worry i've overdone mint. it was a huge colour at our wedding just this year haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942556 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:40:26 +0000 avivoca 1942556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the light pink! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942553 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:39:56 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1942553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go with the palest PINK you can find. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942552 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:39:55 +0000 yellowbird 1942552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the mint! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-paint-colour-help#post-1942546 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:36:36 +0000 loki 1942546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just found out we're having a little girl so obviously I'm thinking all things girlie. I've had an idea in my head for a girl nursery for a while but now that it's time to actually pull the trigger, i can't decide on a wall colour.<br /> No matter what I choose, i want it to be reeeeeally pale/subtle... so almost white with just a hint of the colour and then lots of pastel &amp; gold accents. </p> <p>We are getting the hemnes white stain dresser and the gray brown sundvik crib. I am also getting a white faux taxidermy deer head with gold antlers cuz i've wanted one forever and what a perfect excuse! haha. I have a chair that i got when my aunt passed away and i'd love to incorporate it even if it isn't the most comfortable chair. it is similar to the one shown buuut it's not as dining room... a lot more lounge chair. if that makes any sense. the only wood showing is the legs and i would paint those gold or white depending... but i couldn't find something similar.</p> <p>i considered just doing a neutral greige or something but our entire house is greige so i'd love to add a little colour. </p> <p>which do you think looks the best in my insanely amateur Microsoft paint mood board? almost too embarrassing to post but i'm bored ;)</p> <p>ETA: I will be making a ribbon mobile with ribbon leftover from my wedding in ivory, pink, light coral &amp; mint... also, i will be including a gallery wall over the dresser/change table.</p> <p>[attach=5228/14/nezf90.600x256.nurseries-yellow---mint.png]</p> <p>[attach=5228/14/nezf92.600x256.nurseries-lilac---pink.png] </p>
