We are in the process of trying to choose colors for the baby's room.

Because he's a little guy.. blue is the obvious choice.. we have a couple of test paint pots but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for colors other than the “standard” blue?

thanks for the feedback coldplay - I was thinking along the lines of blue - green too.. just something a little different.  I could even have a seaside theme with blues and greens and colorful fish etc.  Just don't want the same old thing as everyone else!

Yeah julia, that sounds very innovative.

Ty it out. Im sure it will look wonderful and you will be showered with compliments.

Hello Julia!  Congratulations!!!  I'd say that blues and greens would look lovely, and there's lots you can do with those colours to create an under water/aquatic theme.  Perhaps some stenciling?  I know it's a bit of a cliche with nurseries, but you could add some brighter, contrasting colours (pinkos, yellows etc) by stenciling different coloured fish and things like jelly fish, shells etc.  I guess it depends on how much time you have though and what sorts of activities/interests you like..  Both myself and my partner love the sea, and so I'd go for this type of thing.
