Boy or girl? Doesn\u2019t matter as long as your baby is healthy and happy. That is unless you want to prepare by painting your nursery a traditional, gender-specific color. Then it does matter. It may feel a bit old fashioned to paint a room pink for a girl and blue for a boy, but many people feel that creating a space that speaks to the specific child they are bringing home helps them mentally and emotionally prepare for the journey they are about to embark on. It\u2019s also a nostalgic nod to the past. It\u2019s a classic choice that many people still make for their nursery.<\/p>\n

Looking for a twist on the classic pink or blue nursery? Try an accent wall, or paints stripes or make use of a chair rail with color separation. Let your imagination run wild, while also incorporating a traditional look.<\/p>\n
