Name: Emily
Location: Retro Mushroom
Children: Simon, 8 months
Inspiration: the pursuit of gender neutral! We didn't know our son's gender before he was born and we wanted a room that would work for either sex. I had a very hard time finding bedding that wasn't overtly boy or girl.
Inspiration continued:
When i came across Litto's Retro Mushroom bedding I knew I had a winner and I picked the paint color based on the bedding.
Tip for Using Color:
Learn how to mask and seal with painters tape. It is a life saver and the only way to get clean smooth lines when you are painting.
Colors Used:
The lime green is Parker Paint 7685a

I think it looks great - I wouldn't have chosen the color but it looks great together with the furniture.

Our location is actually Seattle WA : )
I made the owl prints - they are ink sketches filled in with watercolor.

I love the visible wood grain in the furniture.
However, cutting in works better than painter's tape for clean lines.

The photos above the rocker are my son Simon and my Neighbors daughter. They were born 2 weeks apart. You can also see a close up of them on my blog.

How could a bedroom not work for a baby of a certain gender?
