What is your or your OH favorite color? How do you feel about pink or purple?

Is there a turquoise colour in the bedding? I think a light version of that would be nice on the walls, and then accessories in pink and purple like the other colours in the bedding.

Do you have Benjamin Moore where you live? Victorian Mauve would be nice on the walls.
Also, this blog has some fun butterfly ideas ( I noticed butterflies on the crib blanket) http://weedecor.com/category/decorat...oms/butterfly/

thanks i was thinking of doing the walls, a very soft lilac purple to match the trimmings of the set or a dusty pink

but i guess it seems too much?

We've done our nursery with yellow on top, green on bottom and we'll be separating with a border. You have both yellow and green in that bedding. Perhaps that would work? Our colours are quite strong as it's a Safari theme, but softer shades would be nice? Then you could get that border shown in the first picture to tie it all together!

That sounds pretty

I think a lighter purple than the one in the pic, more like the blankets purple would be pretty.. can you post pics when you finish?

. I just did a whole blog post about how I did my nursery, we did a vintage theme! Just have fun with it no matter what you do!

Not a fan of lilac for walls. I go like the pale aqua idea though. All the same pink and purple might be a bit overpowering if everything is the same shade. I think in the first pic its a bit heavy on the eyes.

Have you been on http://pinterest.com/ I am seriously in love with this site. Put in nursery and a try a few different colours and see everyones inspiration. If you find a pic you like click it twice then it takes you to the original website sometimes. This might be a personal blog or a website to buy from or something handmade on etsy. My best find on there was using drawers from an old chest of drawers as underbed storage. I was just about to pass on a chest we had taken from daughter room to fit in cot instead (they will have to share a room) and she has no underbed storage. As they were both painted in the same wood i was over the moon as drawers look perfect under it. Just a bit tricky finding wheels that are not to big at the mo lol.

I have the same vibrating bright starts chair its really lush isn't it!
