Well, DH and I decorated 2 rooms that had to be neutral, which was challenging. No, we don't have white walls either. One room we painted lime green, my dh and his friend were like that's an ugly color, but once it was on the walls they both loved it. Lime green can go with pinks, purple, or blue, greys, it's a neutral color. Well for the bedding I, that was hard without getting a solid color, I found a cute dog and cat bedding set that is neutral and went beautifully w the lime green. The other room, well we painted it a tan but it came out peachy, but I decorated w bold colors, red, blue, green, and I made it into a farm animal theme. It came out really cute. Then for the comforter I bought a beige comforter with some green sheet and striped colored pillow cases that had blue, yellow, red, purple, black. That room came out great too! I guess I'm just saying that neutral doesn't mean white walls. Also we just bought furniture for our FD room, it's tan w the blue top. Either war we can dress it up w accessories that reflect a boy or girl. The other room just has a captain bed that used to be DH's but it's neutral. As far as toys, we have a container with all kinds of things in it, some from DH's youth, and other things that are neutral, such as balls, blocks, legos, chalkboard, chalk, bubbles, crayons, stuffed animals, puppets,trains, cars, stamps, ABC electronic games. We didn't have any babies or specific girl/boy toys, I bought my FD a baby and then w Xmas she got around 4 more. Our FS we bought him things he liked, transformers, cars, spiderman. Those were his toys to keep but the neutral ones that we started with we keep. Hope that helps and makes sense.
