Absolutly brilliant love it especially the light. When my daughter was little OH painted her room pink with bright pink stencills all around he even made one of her name, she had barbie ( of course ) buterflies, stars, moons, all sorts, every thing was pink. Now its a light shade of lilac still with bright pink carpet and Barbie curtains. I keep meaning to buy new ones.

So you'll teach Bean to love caterpillars? S/he'll have a crisis when you squish one!

I'm hoping the phrase "kill the light" will stick, and caterpillars will fear Bean.

Tee hee, thats lovely, love the light!
I painted a "camoflage" wall for my son a couple of years ago, which he loved at the time but now he wants me to paint his room like the inside of the tardis! My daughter is much easier, as long as it's pink she's happy!

Is it only me that thinks that light is really scarey ?

talking of polka dots, i did this in the summer in the girls room, white walls, big red polka dots all over ha ha! one tip, do 3 different sizes, dinner & side plate and saucer, they look really cool!

how topical, cant wait for bean to come now, how exciting!

Superb light. We need to redecorate the now 13 year old's room - I must take pics of it first though as he has a lovely giraffe on one wall and a heffalump on another. The palm tree in the corner and up on the ceiling gave so many problems (not least finding brown paint) that it never did get finished Any grapes need some blue/green curtains with animals and alphabets on? (OK so we don't redecorate often)

I LOVE that Pillarcat light ... does it take low-energy bulbs?

As to your polka dots ... you can use cheap acrylic artists paints (from The Works if you've got one). Cheaper than tester pots.

ermmmm.....debating with myself here(whether to post this or not!).....as a newborn nanny of many years and having to deal with over stimulated babies for hours on end.....will you keep one wall clear until you see if Bean is an easily overstimulated babe or not.....could save you a load of argo!. some babies get over stimulated very easily but it can take hours to unwind them enough to have them settle!.

other than that.....the light is coooool!!!.

Rachel is right about stimulating colours. Red* is a no-no. In fact, pastels (pale pink, blue, lemon) are all better than primary colours.

There was an experiment with painting a prison pink ... it actually did calm down the inmates.


* fast food places use red a lot, because it makes you eat quicker. Fact.

Squish it quick..........

HW, you are gonna be one amazing daddy
