I like the ideas of a close-to-white colour on the walls and then incorporating colour through drapes, pillows, throws, toys, wall art, area rugs, bedding, etc. <br /><br />My favourite room is also the light green with bold orange chair like you said Amanda. Green is always a favourite, and it's not boy-ish or girl-ish or baby-ish or kid-ish. Its just nice-ish!Emily Morricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331780147271948152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-546007747456627734.post-40967231010876009992010-02-11T11:14:48.319-08:002010-02-11T11:14:48.319-08:00great rooms! i especially love the cabbage patch g...great rooms! i especially love the cabbage patch green one with rusty orange chair, def converts well into a room the kids can grow up in :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08647973797843097788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-546007747456627734.post-59307109883692597122010-02-11T10:14:30.623-08:002010-02-11T10:14:30.623-08:00i'm no expert on this, i just know when i told...i'm no expert on this, i just know when i told my nurse sister-in-law i wished i could do the whole room in neutrals she said contrast is good for their brain development. so she agreed i wouldn't have to make it look like a clown exploded all over the room but that i did have to take into consideration both brain stimulation through contrast (even black and white is contrast though) as well as the ability to calm it down when they need to be less stimulation (bedtime). <br /><br />but i totally agree with you: the baby doesn't know that is a bunny, or a duck, or the stewart plaid. and by the time they are old enough to respond to one animal over another, how do you know you've picked the one they like? you could have spent all this time on a duck room and all he wants to do is woof.<br /><br />i say save that stuff for the toddler years when they will eat it up.<br /><br />i love the pictures you showed as examples, so much contrast but as you said, a room the parents would want to be in - and not have to repaint! they feel peaceful but cheery. just how a new mom would want to feel i suspect!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09159868523492227972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-546007747456627734.post-39438727161183110582010-02-11T08:43:17.114-08:002010-02-11T08:43:17.114-08:00Mmm, love the wall decals and classy cribs!

Though since working on the Plateau, I've seen some pretty hip strollers, e.g. the ones here:<br />http://www.babyzone.com/shopping/photos_strollers-over-350/rrrachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260992970530308894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-546007747456627734.post-60920807820370759012010-02-11T08:26:29.966-08:002010-02-11T08:26:29.966-08:00Yup.

It was the alphabet with animals or objects with each letter and it was AMAZING. But I couldn't justify paying $80 on it. :(Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875834913316556128noreply@blogger.com
