I have a severe case of undecidedness in regards to the paint color for the baby’s room.  At least until we have more than one child, the baby room will double as an office, so I can’t be silly about picking some colors I might have otherwise chosen.

I was planning to do big stripes of two shades of off white/beige like colors.  Then standing there in front of all those paint cards at the hardware store got me thinking about other options.  So I ended up coming home with maybe 20 paint cards.

I’m actually considering a color called Seaspray which hints toward the green family.  It is VERY pale, but is also relaxing.  Initially trying to think through pairing a green tinted paint with pinks, if we have a girl seemed off, but now I’m kind of coming around to the idea.  I know I’ve seen shades of green successfully matched with shades of pinks.  And blues if we have a boy would not be a problem at all.

Stripes are kind of a pain to paint so this new idea might actually save us some time & effort.

If we were to do the stripes, I found two cards next to each other called Puffball and Mission.  Who could resist a color called Puffball for a baby room?  They are just two very similar shades of very pale tan.  But Seaspray might win the day.  I still have to show them to Dave; who will of course ask if there is actually a difference between Puffball & Mission and will offer no real opinion in regards to the Seaspray color.  But I’ll have involved him in the process.
