it's a blessing and a burden

why doesn't someone write a song about how fabulous monday's are?
oh...i know why. guh.
i thought today would be a fabulous day to report that through many google searches, sweat, and victories, i kind of but not really have a few basic photoshop functions in my back pocket.
"why didn't i take a photoshop class in college!!??"
***shakes fist at sky***
with my very basic understanding of photoshop i tried my first attempt at an inspiration board. and what might i need inspiration for?
answer: gender neutral bebe room
people, this is tricky and inspiration is a must.
"gender neutral" is a blessing and a burden.
blessing: your options are incredibly limited.
burden: your options are incredibly limited.
the other day i purchased some bebe clothes at gap that i was certain were gender neutral. i had a conversation with the salesman that went something like this:
me: "looking at these clothes, would you say i'm having a boy or a girl?"
salesman: blank stare and beads of perspiration began forming on his forehead.
me: "it's okay, there is no wrong answer."
salesman: "a...a...b-b-boy??????" (he was real REAL nervous.)
me: "that's what i thought. thanks!"
salesman: "so what are you having?"
me: "blah blah blah..."
so now looking at my little inspiration board below...does this scream gender neutral or does it lean towards the boy side of the scale?
but naturally, since compiling this little board's goodies i've found other goodies i like even more. so maybe we'll have another round of inspiration in the coming weeks.
farmer and i are feverishly working on finishing the basement so we can get my office/guest bed out of the soon to be bebe room...then the transformation can begin. i feel like we may be running a little behind on this task. but a farmer's gotta farm, am i right or am i right?
