As we get closer to closing on our first home (less than two weeks!), I am getting really excited about decorating, except for one small detail- I stink at picking paint colors. Really, really stink. I feel like I’ve got a good handle on what looks good together décor wise, but every time I pick paint, I love it in the store, and then somewhere between Home Depot and our walls it changes into an awful, strange different color. So I’m reaching out to the world, here are some of the things we have bought for the boys room- and I want to hear/see what colors you think would look good. While I am a fan of long lasting neutrals, I am also trying to let go of the reins and trust others opinions, so I’m up for anything.

bedding / bookshelf / totem pole growth chart / rope mirror / curtains )
The boys room where we live now has a few more kind of outdoorsy décor elements that we might include depending on how it looks, like some lantern-y looking things and this print by Katie Daisy, but I know I want to start off with what we have above. A sweet neighbor of ours gave us a set of bunk beds that are a pine, natural wood kind of color and I’m considering painting those too. Would that be going overboard? Maybe something dark like the color in this room-

I probably should nail down that wall color before I even start thinking about the bed, so let me hear your expert opinions! What color should I go for? Grey, blue, yellow, orange, you name it, I’m listening!

I love grey walls, but that might be because I love neutrals too! I love the items you picked out above! We’ve been wanting to put together a cute toddler room for our three-year-old, but he still hasn’t figured out how to climb out of his crib so we’re holding off still!
