Keating's Future Nursery

My initial inspiration came from watching You, Me and Dupree one night with my husband. I absolutely LOVED their bedroom with the cool denim colored walls and the creamy white board and batten trim work.


When I talked to B about adding the board and batten to Keating's room, he thought it was a great way to spruce up our cookie cutter home. You know, get a leg up on all of the other houses for sale on our street. Make our little 3 bedroom something to compete with!

I like the idea of adding a ledge to the top, to add framed photos. I also like the distance the boards are spaced in this photo.

Ive shared this before, but this is the main fabric I am using for bedding. I want the wall colors to coordinate, but not be too matchy. Im thinking the color blue of the cowboy's jeans...

Something like Durango Blue from Ralph Lauren I like that it doesnt scream "LITTLE BABY BOY"

Or a little lighter with Cowgirl Blue - Ralph Lauren

B is a fan of green, me not so much... This is Palm Leaf - Ralph Lauren
I like neutrals, but Im trying to steer away from them. Our entire house is pretty neutral. This is a nice color though. Safari Tan - Ralph Lauren

Thoughts??

  1. I like the green, but I also like both of the blues. Based on the color choices, I think I would go with the darker blue. I don't know...just a thought. Very cute ideas! :)

  2. I say the lighter blue or the yellow. At least on my screen the fabric appears to be really dark. I don't remember if you mentioned where else you're using the fabric, but if it's in a lot of places (pillows for a chair, a lampshade, long curtains for the window, general padding elsewhere in addition to the crib bedding) then you want some light color to balance the navy/black background of the fabric.

  5. I love the idea of the board and I've never seen it with a ledge for picutres, too cute!

    I like the lighter blue and the yellow. I think the yellow would really pop with that fabric.

  6. I like the darker blue! I think that it would look so great and really pop right up against the white bead board. That fabric is super cute...can't wait to see what you decide!

  8. I really like the dark blue - plus they are infants for such a short period of time. With my little guy I went with darker colors and I was so happy, I didn't feel like he grew out of his room quickly. In fact he is now 3.5 and I didn't have to repaint when I switched him to his big boy bed. I did a caramel with a darker caramel and navy vertical stripe. Have fun - little boys are so fun!!
