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!!

I have BM Pale Sea Mist in DS' room. It is also a nautical theme. The color is more of a pale greenish yellow depending on the lighting. I have a captains bed similar to the bed in your inspiration room, it is currently in the garage waiting to be painted while 2 year old DS sleeps on a mattress on the floor. And here is the same color when it was my daughter's nursery. She never actually even moved into the room, she wanted to sleep with her older sister. We moved here when she was 18 months. I think it looks better in the lighting when it was a "girl room" because my camera was better.

Blue/Chocolate bedding for sure! Would love that with something like the airplane wall decoration in pic #1 Look around at your other stores for accessories that maybe aren't just "airplaney" Bringing a "pig" piggy bank in with mostly the same colors but maybe one "new" color will all some eclectic look. Check etsy to some wall decals that may give you an idea of what to put on the wall or other things that you may want to incorporate. You can order those or paint something like them...My mother suggested we paint a tree on an empty wall in my baby girls room, so I went on Etsy, and have a tree, some birds, squirrels, nuts, etc. that my parents painted based off the decal. For something else on the walls, I would love to see some basic frames with shapes or letters in a boyish colored plaid inside them. Or maybe check Target for some wall decor "words" in boyish prints/plaids...above my babies crib is "Dream, Dance, LAugh" in girl prints. I put one in the middle on the top row and the other 2 on the bottom row. I thought it would be a lot of words, but love it. I also got one of those book shelves that hang on the wall from Target, but have seen them at PB or landofnod. Pick some books to display in their that coordinate with your colors but don't have airplanes...this will give you a picture that isn't out of place but helps with the overly matchy. A basket of baby blankets or burp blankets will add more pattern and texture to the room. Don't forget Hobby Lobby!

I am less concerned about the bedding and more about the artwork on the walls. Here's why. The bedding you will use for maybe 2, 2.5 years. Then she will move to a bed, and you'll be buying new bedding all over again. So yes, get what YOU want for the crib. But are you going to want to replace the artwork in a few years when she starts to show interest in fairies, ABC's, ballet, or race cars? I would look for something more youthful and lighthearted for the artwork. I like Les' idea of the red (though I think she forgot the link to whatever she wanted you to see at JCP). My DD (now 7) had a cute red/white crib quilt and very pale apple green walls. Not TOO girly, but fresh and colorful without being too much. As soon as she started having her own opinions, though, we painted her walls pink and got a pink and white quilt for her bed! (Her choices.) Another option could be periwinkle, which IMO is a gender-neutral color and could be pretty with the wood crib.
