Project Nursery: Step 1: Paint!

We have been wanting to start on Dmitri's playroom for a while now. The fact that I am approaching the halfway mark in my pregnancy with jelly bean # 2 has put a little bit more pressure to get it started, so first on my list was changing the backdrop.

I have had a long argument in my head about whether to paint it at all, since it was a nice blue color. I asked your opinion, and you said without hesitation that it was worth it to paint it. My vision for the room has changed a little bit, one reason being that we want to keep it "gender neutral" (as if colors could have gender...) since we don't know what this baby will be yet (We find out next visit!).

So we picked a slightly blustery grey.

Here is the before...

And here it is now!

 I like that it has softened the room, like a fluffy cloud on a windy day.

I am planning to add accents of orange, red, yellow, and pink!

Any ideas for accents?

The color is Olympic's Georgian Silver!
