Paint Colors!
So who has started on the room yet!? I know I can't wait until June 2nd so we can start! But was curious, has anyone chosen their paint colors yet for the nursery. There are soooo many to choose from! Just curious what your colors are? boy or girl?

Re: Paint Colors!
Our second bedroom (baby's room) was baby blue when we moved in. We are having a girl, but I think I am going to keep it baby blue. Our decor will be mostly lavender and I think it will actually look really nice together. Plus, we rent and I don't really want to deal with the hassle of painting it again when we move (which may be before baby is even a year old).
I'm really not a fan of pink... but I am trying to teach myself to like it because I know that regardless of my taste, I am going to be given tons of pink sh!t since I'm having a girl!

Apple green, by Benjamin Moore. We are doing a green/orange modern nursery with white furniture, regardless of sex. This is the color:
This is what we're doing. We're not having twins, so we'll just go in either direction after we find out the sex of our LO.
This is what we are doing but with black and grey furniture.

My first order of buisness is to do my daughters room since I figure as a girl, she has a right to the bigger closet so we are moving her. I also feel like I can do her room better now that I know her. Here is my inspiration board I have put together for her room.
I will also point out that DH is bent out of shape that I want to paint her room blue and says that I can paint our boy's room blue. I want to do his orange though (it has wainscotting so it would really only be half orange). The orange is still an argument in process. I love these space dinosaurs for a boy.
We're doing light turqoise either way... and then orange or yellow like this
I would suggest using Behr paint its low VOC (volatile organic compounds that can cause cancer and cause that paint smell) It works really well and they have some great colors.
We are having a girl and our nursey will be pink. The walls are currently a dark aqua so we are using that Behr (sp?) paint that includes the primer in it.

Our family of 5 is complete!! Love our boys!
We painted the "office" green before we knew it would become a babies room (didn't even have time to furnish it). Since we are having a girl, it will have green walls with pink, brown, and yellow accents. If we were having a boy, it would've been green walls, with blue, orange, and brown accents.
This is what we're going to do for our baby boy's room:
A pretty baby/sky blue on the top and a nice light (not mint) green on the bottom. The theme is Lambs and Ivy Team Safari.
We're team green, so I wanted a gender neutral room that I can add splashes of colour to later. We painted 3 walls of the room a bright green colour, similar to the green pictured above. The 4th wall, where we've put the crib, is the same green with chocolate brown and a lighter green stripes.
Once baby is here, I will add either turquoise or magenta accents for some extra splashes of a more gender specific colour.
