Hi Friends,
Pink for a girl or blue for a boy, right? But what do you do when you're having one of each? The expectant parents choose light green for the walls because it's a calming, gender-neutral color that doesn't have any stereotypes associated with it.
Once it's on the walls, though, it seems too bright, so host Jane Lockhart tones it down and adds a fun texture by taping broad stripes along the wall and applying a glaze to alternating stripes. Because babies spend a lot of time in their cribs looking up, the ceiling is painted a sunny yellow. When painting a stippled ceiling the first time, use an oil-based paint. It acts like a sealant and keeps the stipple from pulling off.
Next, carpeting is replaced with hardwood floors, which attract fewer allergens and bacteria. White wooden valances are built for the windows, and deep blue shades are hung. For a finishing touch, the babies' names, Max and Lucie, are stenciled onto the valances.
Did You Know? Green is the most popular color for nurseries. Yellow ceilings reflect more light and make a room feel brighter.
