Xpost - Painting childrens room - HELP PLEASE!

I had a dilema recently about where to put the kids. We have a 4 bedroom house which is great but 2 are upstairs and 2 are downstairs. I can't see myself being upstairs with 2 kids downstairs, they are only 4 and almost 2. I can't do it, although I really want to.

So now Emma and Jeremy are going to share a room. They are young enough now for it to be a non issue until we find a new house.

I want to paint their room though. Right now its green, it was the nursery. I know Emma wants a ballerina room and the boy is OBSESSED with things with wheels. Cars, trucks etc.

My question - Would it be weird to paint 2 walls pink and 2 walls a boyish color or break the room down the middle and paint 1/2 pink and 1/2 a boyish color? The rug in there is beige so it can go with anything.

HELP!!!

I think it could be really cute.

I would go to home depot and get one of those folders that shows all the colors in the smae family so you can pick a boy color and a girl color that match.

you can do anything your imagination wants!!! Id have a blast with totally splitting the room and doing each his/her own side/ colors, theme etc!
my boys' playroom has about 6 different colors in it, between the walls, ceiling, we have some kinda chair rail thing, so i split the colors there, etc.
I LOOOVE lots of color, im crazy like that
its a kids room, no rules !

Thanks, I gotta keep in mind that I am 7 1/2 months pregnant and I have to get it done ASAP. I don't have the energy or ambition I did months ago so I need simple and easy

so then go with 2 walls each, even if its a diagonal split,lol. if that makes sense.
I think it would look awesome
theyd get a sense of pride of ownership in their own "territory", and be happy to be in the same room too
ugh, what pregnancy does to us, we think up the biggest projects at these times..
it feels like you were just preggo yesterday with jeremy!
