floorboards
We finished the painting in the nursery and today we are installing the laminate floors and then floorboards. H suggested possibly painting the floorboards the same pink as the bottom border color. I was naturally thinking bright white like the rest of the house. Am I being closeminded? Would pink be cute?

PAIF/SAIF/PGAL welcome
I'm starting to think pink too. This is my inspiration photo and though they only did 3/4 round instead of 3" floorboards, they did pink and it flows well.
Side note- does anyone know anything about that crib in the pic? I keep seeing pop up all over the place. Is it the must have crib?
First, you mean baseboards. Floorboards actually go on the floor. Only saying that to clarify what I'm going to say below.
Second, how is the pink against the flooring?
I imagine there are some tones of wood that will not look good up against that pink. In that case, I'd choose the white baseboards to break up (1) the strong colors and (2) the pink wall and the floorboards.
Third, ditto white furniture = white baseboards. I think that would look nice.
Fourth, when you re-paint, b/c you will at some point, do you really want to have to prime and repaint the baseboards? With white, you can leave them in place and just touch-up.
Fifth, take a magic eraser to a test patch of paint. Does it leave a mark? If so, I'd suggest going white with the baseboards - they get the dirtiest and easy clean-up is important.
Sixth, it's your house. Do whatever you want.
It's a Little Miss Liberty crib. We had one for DD when she was little. I loved it!

I love that crib also but wondered if it would be a pain to worry about round sheets.
So the floors are going to wait another week to go in. I decided (to H's delight, lol) that we are going to use the extra pink paint to paint inside the closet, and while we are at it we might as well readjust the shelves to make them more small baby clothes friendly so the fun project for today ended up being an entire closet renovation. But I'm pretty sure I want to stick with the white baseboards. We have them in the rest of the house and I like that little bit of consistency. Plus the thought of repainting them later sounds like torture. Thanks for the advice chicas
