Oh, just perfect! Thank you for the terrific inspiration. /heads into basement to have a look at ye olde desk

Hi thrace -- sorry I didn't see your question until now. The walls and ceilings of Dylan's room are from the Benjamin Moore Historic collection -- "Edgecomb Grey" (which is warmer than it sounds and we have throughout our house as a neutral) and "Palladian Blue" (which isn't as cool as a regular light blue, and we doubled the formula on that one for a stronger impact, since the room is so dark.) Hope that's helpful. Good luck with your little buddy's space!

Crisp and cool and sweet, but not too sweet. Effortlessly lovely. Great that you have a budding DIY-er with the monogrammed trash can!

Thanks so much for the kind feedback -- it's humbling and lovely just to have his room featured on this site I admire and frequent, but I'm so very flattered by your words. Cheers, all!

er517 -- The egg prints are actual pages from ancient science/nature books and were bought over the years in antique shops, at flea markets and online. Look for "ephemera" in a shop's description, or sale's listings. And try searching "egg lithograph" on eBay for a sampling -- or "flower," "fish," or "vegetable" for some other interesting examples.

Thanks for the link tmoore -- those fabric slings are terrific! Already thinking how/where to incorporate this idea in our house...
