Blue for Girl's Room?

DH and I both love the color blue. We picked out a beautiful bedding set that has pastel blue in it.

Well, we painted the room a blue pastel color and it looks great, but I'm getting a couple of comments from people like how can you paint a girl's room blue?

See the picture - walls are similar in color (if not lighter) then the ones in this picture. I think its beautiful and I see no problem with blue for a girl!

Are we crazy?

that bedding looks very pretty. But if it was me I would go with neutral cream walls and accent in colors in the bedding or sage walls. I just couldn't do a girls nursery blue, but then again, I don't think I'llk dress my girl in blue until I add a headband or something girlie.

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

you're not crazy. Do whatever you like.

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

I don't think you're crazy.

Colleen won't either.



See the girl's bedding thread.

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

No, I definitely don't think you're crazy. I love the color blue so regardless of sex, the room will have blue in it.

I don't understand why anyone would comment...it's not like a blue room will magically turn your girl into a boy

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

i don't think you're crazy at all. that is a gorgeous shade of blue - like a robin's egg! i think it's totally appropriate for either a girl or a boy, and no one is going to mistake your little one for a boy because the walls of her room are blue!!

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

I think its beautiful.

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

our child's room will be blue whether it is a boy or a girl, because DH and I dont feel like re-painting the room, and we both really like the color... i think you can make blue girly or boy-ish

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

Blue ( in the shade you are talking about ) is very pretty. It's not like you can't accent other colors like yellows or a little pink. I am not even talking about now. You can always do it later.....down the road when she is done with her crib and ready for a bed.

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

I think blue is fine for a girl. My friends 7 year old daughter picked out blue for her room...and she's such a girly girl.

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

You're not crazy. Our office which is becoming the baby's room is already painted blue... "Blue Stream" from benjamin Moore. I told DH that whatever sex it is I want to leave that color in there because I love it.

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

my favorite color is blue too and think the room is gorgeous for a girl!!!!

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

I would have no problem with it and I think it's great that you do it. I'm tired of pink meaning girl and blue meaning boy. But then again I really wanted to make our nursery a sports/Yankees theme regardless of sex.

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

Hey, I have mulled over blue for a girl's room before I even got preggo.

I loooove blue it is my absolute favorite color and have absolutely no problem with it at all!!! (Actually, I think it happens to be a great idea )

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

I love it.. girls can have any color room, boys thats a different storie.. cant paint a boys room pink (well you could but would be weird).. I say if you and dh like the blue then tell everyone to stick it.

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

This is the bedding I liked if were having a girl... the room would be painted blue:

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

i think blue is nice for a girl.

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

My niece who is 5 just had her room painted last year and it is blue and has a cinderella theme. Go with what you like and don't listen to others, it's your choice, personally I think that nursery pic is beautiful!

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

I love it! Girls can have a blue room.

Re: Blue for Girl's Room?

Thanks all! DH and I love it! It's bright and cheery, but also a very subtle.

It looks so blank now though because the room is empty. Once the furniture comes and we get an area rug and start decorating the walls, it will all come together!

Have a great day!
