What are your thoughts? Do you like the idea of using colors that are traditionally regarded as “boys’ colors” for a baby girl’s nursery?

Love the nautical colors! Very classic and perfect for a baby boy or girl.
Such a gorgeous nursery!

This nursery is PERFECT! Looooove your vision here, Paloma!
I agree about creating a space that transitions throught the toddler years. I don't have kids but I always said if I ever had a girl I would request minimal pink stuff. I am not a pink person and purples would be more a baby girl's color with something uncommon like sour apple green and chocolate.
This is beautiful! I am glad to see a pretty nursery that isn't dripping in pink.
I love the color palette and elegance of this nursery. The details on each furniture piece give it a feminine touch.
Additionally, look at this curious fact regarding colors:
When colors were first introduced to the nursery in the early part of the 20th century, pink was considered the more masculine hue, a pastel version of red. Blue, with its intimations of the Virgin Mary, constancy and faithfulness, was thought to be dainty. Why or when that switched is not clear, but as late as the 1930s a significant percentage of adults in one national survey held to that split. Perhaps that’s why so many early Disney heroines — Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Wendy, Alice-in-Wonderland — are swathed in varying shades of azure.
Love it! I'm over the moon for neutral nurseries and I'm not talking yellow and green. I love the soft whites you used and the blue works lovely with it.
