Cool and Retro Neutral Gender Nursery

May 10, 2011 By: Flavia

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! 
Here we go.

Nautical Nursery {once again}

I can’t help but wonder..”where did time go?”…A year ago I was painting, designing and buying all the nautical decor for my baby’s nursery…and look at “us” now…I am chasing a fast speed crawler all over the house and gone are the days of the “cute”, “everything in place” nursery….Every night before I put baby to sleep the room looks like a hurricane just passed through. 

I enjoyed so much shopping for nursery decor and creating things that once again, the nautical nursery bug bit me  and I went and did some homework for you! (not for me, not for now)…When they interviewed me for the article featuring Logan’s nursery, they asked me my special tip for mommies to be that are decorating their babies nurseries themselves. I had to say that the most important thing to do when it comes to decorating a nursery is to mix and match within the same hues and theme. If you try to match each and every piece in the room, you’ll go crazy and probably spend a fortune! So, today I picked some things here and there and I recreated  a Nautical Nursery that I’m sure  you’ll absolutely love. 

Go ahead and take a peek!




1. Graco Charleston Non-Drop Classic Crib, White
{ this is the same crib I have! a steal }

2. Sherwin Williams Interior Paint SW6786 Cloudless
 { I used Valspar – Clear Blue Sky, same thing right? }

3. Nojo Sea Babies Tom The Turtle Plush and Sea Babies Ollie the Octopus

4. White Chapel End Table in White

5. Sea Babies Printed Canvas Art – Set of 4 (10″ x 10″)

6. Tadpoles Classics Gingham Blue – Coverlet

Tadpoles Classics Blue Gingham Crib Bumper

7. Suede Glider Rocker Recliner – Green

8. Under the Sea Lamp w/ Shade

9. South Shore Furniture, Changing Table, Pure White


And… take it from there! Maybe you prefer a cheaper glider {I would too!} but a pricey top of the line crib  but the idea is here and I am sure you’ll have fun too putting together a beautiful nautical nursery for your little prince. If you do, send me some pictures I would love to see what you do and I’ll feature it on my blog!

Come back soon to find more great ideas! Thanks for looking, have a great day!
