Color For Your Cupcake


This Color Recipe is screaming girls nursery!

I was never a big fan of the pinky pink, bubble gum nursery's.  Don't get me wrong, I love pink but only a select few.


This is a great place for bubble gum color.



A few years ago I had the pleasure to design a nursery for a client who didn't have a budget for her project. She wanted the best of the best, and the most expensive materials. Everything was custom ordered and designed. Well, many hours and $10,000 later (some of the fabric as $325 a yard) a very classy nursery was designed and these were very similar to the colors she wanted. Are they a bit to mature for a baby girl's room - yes, I think so, but nevertheless, it was beautiful!


So here a the colors for a very classy baby girl.

This photo by Pottery Barn shows the wood stain that would look best in this room. If you can get a mahogany wood that would even be better.

Benjamin Moore has a great color selection starting from Georgia Pink 2092-60. Watch your undertones with these pinks - keep them warm and muted and baby soft.

  1. Donna, the wall color is gorgeous, and perfectly suited for a little girl to have for a long time. Once the crib goes, the color will beautifully transition throughout her years. It's tricky working with pink, you don't want it to look too flesh colored. You did a great job.

  2. Thanks Lynne. I hesitate to choose mature colors for a baby girl's room but it's definitely a color she can grow into. The great thing about these colors is you don't have to choose ALL of them in the room, you can choose just one and that'll change the whole feel of the room.

  3. I like mature and vibrant colors in a nursery. Babies outgrow the soft pastels too quickly. I also like the bolder colors better because they appeal to a baby's eyes more.
