I really admire all those expectant mommies out there that have chosen not to know their baby’s gender. I could not possibly ‘survive’ 9 months without knowing. Sometimes I think: ” hmm, maybe I’ll do that if I have another baby…” and then I think “Oh no! if I have a baby girl I want to design a beautiful Shabby Chic/Cottage Style Nursery”…so…no. Yes, I really admire those ladies that compromise many things just to be surprised on the day of the delivery. In that case, I thought I’d sketch a “white/retro/splash of color” design for a Neutral Gender Nursery.
Here is my inspiration room.

Retro room for boy or girl. |
First of all, I love the white. What color can be more ‘gender neutral’ than white right? It is so calming and refreshing!. The turquoise adds a girly/boyish touch and the gold detailed and mirrored armoire puts the “retro” in it. Using the white as a canvas {that would be your paint color}, put all the splash of colors you’d like. I picked green, orange, yellow and turquoise. As always, I show you my fabulous online finds!
