Unsurprisingly, one of the first things I daydreamed about when we found out I was pregnant was sprucing up the baby's room. Who knew it would take me this long! We are finally painting it this weekend. Early on, we were going to do one accent wall in a fun bright lime green. I was imagining a nice modern space accented with lots of pretty pale birch wood and white. But as plans for the room developed, and I realized how many repurposed items we would use, I started thinking something a little more neutral would be good. Also I think a nice dark grey wall could be quite soothing- I have been tempted to do it in our room for ages.

Here are the samples I came home with the other day. After some second guessing, I am pretty sure we will go with grey. Ben likes the medium one. I am stuck between the medium and the very dark.

Decisions, decisions. Here are a variety of grey in other kids' and babies spaces. What do you think?

    i would note that 1) almost everything looks better against a dark grey wall and 2) when our bedroom was green it eventually took on some disturbing associations.

    hmm... i'm with ben here. if you were planning on doing the whole room, i think the dark grey would be best. however, since you're just doing an accent wall, the medium grey will flow better with the other three white walls. the light would be nice too, but i'm kind of liking how the medium has a bit of a warmer tone to it.

    I love. I love light and medium best, for what it's worth.

    lightest gray. on an area as big as a wall, you run the risk of it looking dark & dreary with the other ones..

    I think, for just one wall, I'd go with either light or medium grey. I really love all 5 colours together, though!

    I recently discovered this blog and your lovely individual blogs. I think the two middle colors of grey and the yellow underneath it look really good together. I hope you keep blogging after the babes are here.

    i like the lightest gray. we had light gray walls in our last apt. i think it would great with accents of the darker lime. good luck!

    You already know my input on that via Twitter, but I love the dark grey! Our girl nursery is medium gray.
