Colorblind

I have been spending WAY too much of my free time trying to figure out the perfect color for Baby Girl OB's nursery. We're going for "safari chic," so we really wanted to keep our brown / white zebra rug in the picture...which is also making deciding on a color a headache.

I'm more of a natural earthy tone - beige, white, brown - type of person, but I refuse to paint yet another wall in my house khaki. And Dan doesn't like pink. SO ... we are going bold, and going AQUA!

That was my mess from yesterday. Amongst Festa Italiana over the last two days, I spent hours contemplating what TYPE of aqua. Do you know how many different tones of aqua there are? And not only was did the aqua have to be just right, but I had to make sure the aqua would go well with our bright accent colors, meet yellow and orange (yes - orange - yipes!).

And the winner is ... Cooled Blue. Swatch SW6759.

I'm a little nervous, but I think it's going to be a pretty cool gender-neutral nursery room. I've never been one for totally girly. Let's just hope this color turns out how I'm expecting! And if it does ... here is my first art purchase I'll be making on Etsy!
