As someone with a 1 month old girl, trust me when I tell you there will be plenty of pink *everything* to go around. I like pink, but have had to work very hard to keep her wardrobe to no more than 50% of outfits being pink. That is much harder than it sounds! Plus, every gift that you get will be pink. We own 5 pink nice blankets, and that doesn't count the additional 8 or so blankets that come in the packs. We have been given countless pink outfits, upteen pink stuffed animals, pink pictures frames, pink hats, washcloths, towels, etc. We didn't buy any of that... it was all gifts!

(side note on gifts to the gift-givers... consider buying baby something in sizes other than 0-3 months. We have received so many dresses in that size that there is literally no possible way she will ever wear them all. I lost count when we were in the 20s, yet they continue to come. We recently received an adorable outfit in 3-6 months and I was thrilled as we didn't have anything in that size yet. Just an idea for people.)

All that to say, Winnie, choose pink as an accent color for the room, but consider another one as the primary. Our daughters room has taupe walls, and the bedding is a nice combo of taupe, light/soft/muted pink, and white. There is also a splash of light green to mix it up. I find her room very soothing and not overwhlemingly pink. Yet, there is enough pink to know it is a girls room.

Again, I love pink too, but believe me... it really gets overwhelming when all the stuff starts pouring in.
