Design Question: White furniture with "creme" based accents?

If you are a designer then you will be best to help me. I am decorating my nursery for my little girl due 3/10/2008 (just around the corner), and I have a white crib and white changing table. I ordered Wendy Bellissimo Vintage Teaberry (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2407335) and my concern is the bedding has more creme (with a tiny bit of white, and I mean a tiny bit --- a few "white" specs in fabric).... Will this look stupid with WHITE, WHITE baby furniture. We would buy a honey bed (which is what I think would look best) or even a cherry wood BUT this bed was given to us by a neighbor along with a changn table and mattress for $75. I normally would not have puchased something like this for my first baby (a used bed) but it was in perfect, perfect condition, and at 40, well, I would like to think I'm more wise and recognize a smart deal rather than get hung up on "have to have brand new". My question is "will this clash?"... (more below) We have the bed put togehter with a one piece (the hamper) from the Wendy Bellissimo bedding group, and I have to tell you it stands out a bit, but once I get the crib bedding (bumper pad, etc) and curtains all set up, it may blend... BUT I'M NOT A DESIGNER. I just want her room to be lovely. Wall Color is a deep beige or maybe more of a deep cream look. We just moved into a new home with a 12 mos paint warranty that is deemed void if we paint the walls. So my husband is very insistent we NOT paint her walls (i'm bummed but it makes since). Basically the paint warranty covers all of the "nail pops" that are common with a new house.

1. It's more important that the furniture colour match with each other, and it does. It will look beautiful, just like the example on toys-r-us that features that set with, of all things, a white crib. They have designers who set that up, right? They can't risk not having their products look the best. It'll be perfect.
2. A baby's room, first and foremost should be colorful. There is nothing wrong with white furnitures, but if your accent colors are also in the same family of white... more of like monochromatic, it will definitely look bland. Those colors will not clash, cause like I said they are in the same family. But try to get other colors and use them as accents all over the room, this way, you can make the room look fun and lively. You can base your accent colors on your baby's gender, it's a girl, so get some accent colors in pastels, like pinks and yellows and lavander, and you know girly colors. And by the way, what is the wall color? You might want to consider that too in getting your accents.
