Very pretty bedding! In the most current Fall/Winter PB Kids catalog there is a girls nursery done in a beautiful shade of clear crisp blue. It may be BM Antiguan Sky 2040-60 - I don't have my catalog w/ me. I'm just thinking how pretty a delicate crsip blue would be w/ those colors. I just got done painting a piece of furniture SW Buoyant Blue. When I saw the color on the chip I wasn't sure. Even though it was the lightest color on the strip it appeared crazy bright but I followed through and am so happy that I did.

juddgirl, that is precious. There's a thread on conversations about birthday parties for little ones -- and it started me just a'missing the heck out of the days when my little guys were actually little! My youngest just hit the big 1 - 0. And my oldest just got a physical for winter sports and he's coming in at 5' 10, 190 lbs and the new shoes we bought are a men's size 14. He's a moose. Point being, I totally relate to not wanting to take down the quilt! I'd hold on to displaying it for as long as you can get away with it!!! Those days go fast and you can't get 'em back. (now I need a tissue) Anyhoo, I paint virtually with Photoshop for the most part and pretty much do exteriors exclusively. Every now and then an interior room gets in the mix.

Rose, I like the teal that you chose, but it might be too dark for the whole room. Babies respond well to bright colors - who knows how the pastel for babies trend got started. If you really like color, why not paint each wall a separate color from the color strip, starting with the one that matches the shirt and going lighter from there? Lightest color would go on the ceiling. You will be spending a lot of time in there, so the color has to "sing" to you. I've never been a fan of brown and black together, BTW. My BR is a deep aqua with cherry furniture and white sheers and bedspread. I love it. Go with what you love.

Hi Jmenapr, Please see below a couple of Colours which will look great against white furnishing and would be great for a safari theme. Purbeck Stone - Farrow and Ball Range (This is a great Greige option, for the Safari theme.) --- Calluna - Farrow and Ball Range
