URGENT :) Paint for combined master bed/nursery!
Please help me!! I'm having a baby any day now. She'll be our second in a 2 bedroom bungalow, so for the foreseeable future we plan on sharing our master bedroom with baby. House is 1950's with typical teeny'/nonexistent closets, so I hired a guy to build ours out, in order to be able to ditch the giant Pax we've been using since we moved in. Of course that all got delayed, so now I'm in my final week of pregnancy with an unfinished room (eek!). Need help choosing a paint colour!
Floors are a dark engineered hardwood. High ceilings, white crown molding. One window, doesn't get a ton of natural light. Bed will be in front of window. pictured below are new closet doors, new bed, and rug that will go in the end of room opposite the bed, along with grey-brown hemnes large dresser (used as change table) and a white poang and lamp for nursing corner. Comforter is grey-white-black to hide dog fur.
Issue with walls is that one of them is done in some kind of very old textured beige wallpaper (thought it was grasscloth but not sure on closer inspection) and I don't really have the time right now realistically to deal with that so it's going to have to stay (for now!) so what's a wall paint that would be nice with these components, and not look terrible next to a beigey wallpapered wall?
I'm going out this afternoon to get something and will be getting it painted tomorrow. Yes, I should have sorted this all out much earlier... Working full time, pregnant, with a preschooler underfoot due to covid closures has a way of intervening in the best laid plans!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much.
roughed-in closet shell, doors and closet kit going in next.
the beige wall that will be staying. old bedframe, current duvet cover, current dresser
new bedframe
new rug
closet doors
closeup of what I think is the wallpaper, it feels hard/plastery? Does anyone know what this is? Can it in fact be painted over easily?

Comments (9)thank you everyone. We have no idea if our new addition will be a boy or a girl. I am secretly crossing my fingers for a boy, though, since I have two girls already :) I am not afraid of color... I definately do not like white walls! LOL! As I said, most of our living area is behr prominade. I absolutely love this color. Our kitchen is a milk chocolate color (forgot the name) and it works because our cabinets are all white. The computer/play room is glidden honey beige. Our bedroom is orange and our daughters room is behr midsummer night dream (another color I really love). So while our colors are all over the place, they all seem to work together because they have the same level of intensity. So far nothing in this last room really works with the rest of the house. The honey beige is not a bad color, it is just not as warm/creamy as I expected. It is definately more of a yellow. I think I might need to prime in there before I continue looking at color samples against the wall....See MoreNeed Urgent Bathroom Help
Comments (13)poolroom- It sounds like you have the unenviable task of trying to fit 6 gallons of crap into a 5 gallon bucket. The only other thing I can suggest is this: -move the shower location to your WIC area -shrink that unnaturally long vanity down and move it a bit -reconfigure the closets (Maybe not quite to the relative proportions I show, but have two defined areas so she doesn't poach yours! That sliding door can be moved up to expand her closet area if she gets territorial over this intrusion.) By widening her closet as I've redrawn it, she could even have a small, central storage island as well. P.S.: You could even put in a wall between the two closet areas and each have a separate pocket door to access your own closets. Think of it as your own little man cave!...See MoreJust need color!

Comments (7)Ooooh, yay, I converted you to purple!!!! lol I'll see what I can find. :-) My bedding is largely from Pier1 (they just happened to be selling plum when I was in the market for new stuff), all cotton, washable, yadda yadda; I'm in central TX, so I totally understand. I actually have a "summer" bed with a quilt, and a "winter" bed with a duvet that uses the summer quilt (folded) as an accent and for occasional added warmth. I'll be back.... Edited to add: Plum Floral Stripe Quilt at Overstock White with Plum Medallion Quilt at Overstock (Wayfair and BedBath&Beyond have it, too.) Botanical Taupe with Plum Quilt at Overstock The beautiful thing about all of these is, if you want to bring out the plum, you can add all kinds of accessories, like solid plum sheets, extra pillow shams, a tailored bedskirt, fun accent pillows, and a solid chenille throw. If, however, you'd rather go the solid-quilt route (I posted the prints first, because your original bedding is patterned), I found these: Bed, Bath, & Beyond Cotton (yay!) Quilt Wayfair Solid Quilt (Bed, Bath, & Beyond, and JCPenney have it, too.) Penney's Cotton Medallion Quilt (Absolutely don't pay full price at JCP -- they frequently run 50%-65%+ off entire order sales.)...See MorePeachy-pink paint for master bedroom?
Comments (39)The room is so small it's hard to get a photograph of much. I'll try to put together a layout. Here are some of the items I have for the room. I'm not opposed to getting rid or replacing the furniture, I do want to see if it might work together first. The white IKEA dresser and desk have silver knobs. I'm also not committed to the velvet drapes. For artwork I have some black and white photos of my kids, or I was thinking of some inexpensive prints maybe of vintage vogue magazine covers or Erte. The IKEA hemnes secretary cabinet will house my sewing machine so I'm leaning towards fashioned themed artwork (two prints max). I don't want the room to look like a teen girls though, with thre blush tones and artwork....See MoreJenni Lee
