Seriously, everyone -- it's fine if a boy likes pink and is otherwise a gender-normative boy, and it's fine if he likes pink and loves everything feminine, and it's fine if the kid likes pink because he identifies as a girl. Freaking out over any of those things is just going to traumatize the kid, and it won't keep him from being transgendered or pink-loving or gay.

It's not often that I see a house tour that gives me a warm fuzzy I-wish-I-could-move-in feeling, but this one is the exception. Love the collections, love the colors, love the side-of-the-road aesthetic. Brava!

I have to ask -- what does "male feel" mean to you?

In decorating, "manly" often seems to imply dark colors and neutrals, stripes, an absence of pink... /- duck hunting related items.

But seriously, this is 2010, right? "Manly" could include pink, pastels, or disco balls. You have to define it for yourself.

In terms of your space, I agree with the folks who suggest either picking up the color of the tiles (either the blue-grey or the maroon) or going with a grey or brown. I also think you could pick a warm pale yellow/cream, which would harmonize with the tiles IMO.

Or there's always pink.
