I'm not planning to really start posting until May, when The Design File is scheduled to officially launch. But a good friend and one of my biggest supporters in this venture wrote to me with a problem that I'm convinced you can help her solve.
Dear Design File,
I have two children, a 5 year old girl and a 2.5 year old boy, who share a bedroom. Can you recommend a color scheme that's gender neutral but allows for personal taste?
My daughter is a girly girl who loves pink. My son doesn't have an opinion yet.
I'd like your thoughts on paint, carpeting, curtains and bedding. We're thinking of white beds & furniture. I'd prefer that the comforters coordinate in some way - I want to avoid princesses on one and cars on the other - maybe two solid colors, or coordinating striped / dot / patterned comforters, and let their personal style be reflected in different sheets.
Help! This task seems insurmountable!
