The Democracy Baby

Since asking you, the blogosphere, proved to be such a help in determining the name of our baby we enlist you again. We were not planning on painting the babies room. We have a thing against our (read: my) somewhat shoddy paint skills and our (read: my) tendency to leave little spots and streaks where there shouldn't be any. But when we moved the bookcase out of what is now the play room into what will be the baby's room, we found the wall behind it was a bit beat up. So since we would have to repaint anyway, why not pick a fun color.

Saturday we headed off to the paint store, kids in tow to look at some samples. This is Jonah's selection:
Cup of Joe with India Ink and a highlight of either One Enchanted Eve, or Shadow Dance. He wasn't sure which. While I think it is a rather sophisticated color palette, I don't think it is quite right for a little girls room.

Here is more where we are headed.
The fabric in the middle is what will be the bedding (bumpers will be the brown polka dot and the skirt will be the floral) lovingly being made by Grandma P. And we are trying to choose between green (Pear Green to be specific) and yellow (Mellow Yellow if we are splitting hairs - It was either that or a color called American Cheese...) What do you, blogosphere, think?

Here is the shot with the rug (still rolled up) and the lampshade.

The rug is sort of a braided pink and green. While you are weighing in, let me know what you think I should do with the lamp. The lamp itself is white, (it was in the boy's nursery) but the lampshade is new and more girly. But the white lamp with the somewhat off white shade is not jiving for me. Paint it brown? Or pink? Or leave it white? Or what?

So you can make a most informed decision, the furniture in the room is all white; white crib and white dresser (lovingly made by Grandpa B.) and an as of yet unpurchased but probably ugly, yet functional, glider.

So, green or yellow? Or a different color entirely?
