Inspiration: Navy, Red and White Kids Spaces

The nursery is a red, white and blue color palatte. I love the color combo but I think there is a fine line between beautifully coordinated and hokey americana. I think you really need to use restraint when dealing with the palatte of our nation’s flag. Here are some inpiration pics of the combo done right:

It’s a fun and classic color combo. I think what I’m liking the most are the room that relied more heavily on the blue and used red sparingly. Red is a bold color; it’s also a favorite color of mine so I’m trying to use some restraint. So far, the red in the nursery comes from a red pouf next to the glider and this cute little Janet Hill print in a red frame above the twin bed in the room.

Ahhh, that VERY thin line between good taste, great taste and then theres NO taste!! Love your choice for a colour way/and the brass wall lamp adds a bit of depth and richness. . . and the bed is WONderful. Anxious to see the result for Sister!!!

Well, if anyone can pull of the look, it is you, my friend! I notice than several of the rooms have variations of blue, including a lighter blue. I think that’s one of the keys to making it feel like full-fledged americana.

Correction: feel LESS like full-fledged americana. 🙂
