If you had more than one baby (close in age), or are having twins of opposite sex..would you

put them in the same room??

When this lil newbie is born, my dd will be only 13 months old..
We are going to be in the middle of a HUGE renovation when he comes, and although this time, i will be putting him in my room with me in the beginning to make nursing easier, he will hopefully be in his own crib by 2 months (g'd willing)
Anyway, we are putting Melania and newbie together, at least for a year..in a master sized bedroom..i cant stand the thought of having the room not painted the way i want it, since Melanias room looks like a princess fairy room right now, BUT..i do have to compromise..
So..my thought is, since Melanias furniture will be on one side, and hers is ivory..id like to do his furniture in black..the floors will be Beech oak..
can i do a merlot wine color for the whole room..and accesorize each side seperately? Her side girly girl, his total boyish???

Any thoughts on other paint colors? Melanias bedding and accessories are light pink, raspberry, pale yellow and hot pink..and its pretty high drama, (chandeliers, puffy tutus on the wall as decor etc..flower balls)
My ds will have tatoo print style bedding, and framed music posters (total lil punk rock room) lol

my two will also be sharing a room. I am actually working around the bedding I will chose for my DS and then coordinating my DD's side with it. We just re-painted my DS room this year to this great green color, so I will do pink, brown and green theme on my DD side of the room and then brown, beige and green on my DS's side. Obviously the themes will be different...I still need to figure out what exactly I want to do LOL. but at least I have some direction. I have time to get it all figured out as she will be in our room with us for couple months too.
I think what you described is perfect def coordinate the sides.

My two will be sharing a room, but I am still team green. Your plan sounds perfect though!

DS and DD share a room - they are about 15 months apart.
