Loobylu's nursery plans: blue or orange
Filed under: Playground Bureau, Baby Essentials, Decor
There are a few things I like about
watching other people's pregnancies develop, belly pictures and nursery plans. Loobylu is getting started on her new baby's room and sharing some inspiration. I
love seeing how inspiration will develop into a new nursery plan. She's considering either "crazy" orange walls or the more "conservative" blue walls with orange accents. Looking at her inspirations, I'm not sure she can go wrong with either. In fact maybe I can convince my mustard-loving son to give orange a chance.

christy said...Orange is tricky. I painted my daughter's room orange when we first moved in and the orange was so bright it looked like the lights were on when they weren't. It would burn out your retinas if you looked at the wall for too long. So, I ended up knocking it down to a peacky color, which is really annoying. The moral of the story is, if an orange seems remotely too bright, it probably is.

Limbo said...Allright Melissa, I read your blog regularly and have never commented but somehow wanted to at this esoteric moment.
Back to Max....knowing the color wheel and design pursuits, mustard and muted purple is similarly attractive to orange and blue....can you do a similar idea with Max's room? If you painted it a more toned, livable color that resembled mustard, and his walls are neutral now, it will look wicked exciting to him in comparison, and he will think you gave him what he wanted anyhow. Or paint the walls muted greyed purple and give him the brightest mustard yellow bed linens and accents he can imagine (following the blue walls, orange accent idea).
I remember your other post about this color issue and I am as controlling as anyone about what colors I live with. So, even though I want to honor the crap about kids having their own space, I totally get what you are saying.
Somehow, I just couldn't keep my mouth shut this one time. Silly.
