When my blogger friend Pamela, of Haartfelt.com, asked me to help her design a nursery palette for a series she’s writing on building self-esteem in children, I jumped at the idea. While my babies are almost as tall as I am now, I have several friends who are preparing to welcome new little ones into their families, and my creative juices are positively sizzling for them. I mean, babies are great, but an excuse to redecorate a room in your house? Even better! (Just kidding, kids. I love you, not just your cute rooms.)
The soft greens, gray, and yellow of this palette make me really happy, and I know this is a room I’d enjoy spending time in, even if it’s to change a diaper.
I’m currently working on a guest post for Pamela’s blog about decorating nurseries, so be sure to check it out soon for more inspiration!

Very soothing.
Thanks Mary!
Oh my…I just love this. So very soothing
Thank you Jacquie!
This is such a soft, soothing color palette. I’d love to do a room in my home in these colors
Thank Sarena! It’s got me thinking of what room I could redo too!
Defnitely soothing. Yellow and gray you feature look really close to what I have on some of the walls in my house, and I’ve been thinking about adding some green into the mix when I do some more painting, so now I have some extra inspiration.
Thanks Jeri! I think that green is a natural compliment to gray and green.
Meredith, Thank-you so much for contributing your time, talent, creativity, and professional touch to Haartfelt.com. I love this palette! I say forget the nursery! I want this for MY room, the colors are so soothing,
Me too Pamela!
I do love this color combination. I find myself drawn to these color allot. I can see why they are soothing the anyone really.
I agree Susan, there’s something very relaxing about the greens and yellows from nature.
How nice that the two of you are cooperating, Pamela and Meredith. Love the colours you decided to use for the nursery.
Thanks Catarina! It’s been a fun project.
If I may add a ‘dissenting opinion’, let me note that some people find the absence of stimulus unsettling and not soothing at all (yep, I’m like that) – IMO you could brighten your palette a bit without sacrificing its soothing qualities.
You’re probably not alone in feeling that way Andy! I’ll make the next one a little more “interesting” for all the thrill seekers out there.
