have you checked out HGTV's Rate my space. I was looking on there last night and saw some very beautiful kids rooms/nursery's. One room (for boys, but it could be unisex!) RED bedding, with accents of blue, cream, brown, etc. The bedding was PB with ivory looking stars on it. Didn't scream boy to me. Very cute! Green walls. :o) Saw another boy nursery on there that had caramel apple colored walls. Crib was cream with glaze. Bedding was pale blue toile. So very cute. I've seen that exact toile fabric in pink as well. So you could paint the room the caramel brown, do her bed in the pink fabric, and his in the blue. Wow, would that be cute. Then do their accessory pillows, etc. in creams, ivorys, chocolate. It's much cuter IRL than it sounds. LOL! If you like shabby chic, you could always just do various shades of vanilla in the room. If your children won't be playing in their room (ie: markers and messes) than creams/ivory's/whites would be sooo pretty. :o) Can't wait to see what you do. Congrat's on expecting!!

Very pretty bedding! In the most current Fall/Winter PB Kids catalog there is a girls nursery done in a beautiful shade of clear crisp blue. It may be BM Antiguan Sky 2040-60 - I don't have my catalog w/ me. I'm just thinking how pretty a delicate crsip blue would be w/ those colors. I just got done painting a piece of furniture SW Buoyant Blue. When I saw the color on the chip I wasn't sure. Even though it was the lightest color on the strip it appeared crazy bright but I followed through and am so happy that I did.

I second the suggestion of a pale, aqua blue for the walls. This would have more character then white, and would look yummy! Here's a pix of a Tiffany blue, not quite the same color, but it will give you an idea of how the color can bring it all to life. Accents with brown and soft white, accessories would be darling.

Pink can be cute with a fresh green, purple, grey, yellow/orange or soft browns. For my taste, I'd want to have something fun (and not overwhelmingly monotone) for a little kid that respects a kids playfulness, and babies tend to see contrast. https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/513598459/pretty-pink-vintage-blush-deer-bambi?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=fawn&ref=sc_gallery-2-1&plkey=a30bb3e95d52cad9d27f58643af3f55ef9774b82:513598459 https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/537123280/deer-family-woodland-nursery-decor-deer?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=fawn&ref=sc_gallery-2-4&plkey=a931313a810d0460455a000aebad4a87f874e7b4:537123280 https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/622155258/green-jeans-gardener?ref=listing-shop-header-1 https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/293224739/fawn-in-ferns?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=fawn&ref=sr_gallery-2-43&organic_search_click=1 https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/614343796/1979-mushroom-house-gnome-bowling-set?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=mushroom&ref=sr_gallery-1-45&organic_search_click=1 https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/129065230/pink-and-orange-elephant-print-16x20-art?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=pink%20and%20orange&ref=sr_gallery-1-45&organic_search_click=1 https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/502937925/flower-painting-floral-watercolor?ref=related-2 https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/5836230-laughing-baby-elephants-monochrome-hot-pink-orange-by-micklyn https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/454161-ortrud-a-by-helena https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/7827958-surprise-party-smaller-by-katerhees https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/6153525-7-butterfly-world-green-by-shopcabin https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/6814266-call-mountains-pink-by-nouveau_bohemian https://www.jellycat.com/us/dancing-darcey-elephant-xyzdd6e/ https://www.jellycat.com/us/odell-octopus-xyzod2oc/ https://www.jellycat.com/us/kitty-tails-book-xyzbk444kt/ https://www.overstock.ca/Sports-Toys/Animal-Toys/featured/3186/subcat.html?featuredproduct=6388414&featuredoption=8633800&cid=269694&gclid=CjwKCAjw2MTbBRASEiwAdYIpseYYPA8DPIuZCiFFjExisxcZxZxibSvrX-Lzy7Htdm2Tj12cSFbfgBoCBHoQAvD_BwE https://www.amazon.ca/Folkmanis-Puppets-Funny-Puppet-Green/dp/B00KWI5YB0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1534192095&sr=8-2&keywords=folkmanis https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/10319719/ https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/80266232/
