I had little bits of pink in my room, but when we had people staying I was to sleep in my sister's room so the pink was minimal. I finally got some pink at 18, when we moved house. Mum hated the bed linen and curtains I'd bought for my room though, and changed it to beige when she re-decorated. We had a pink carpet when I was very young and Sis and I shared a room.

DS has a room that has a beige carpet, his walls are white with silver stars, and there's a blue transport border around. He has jungle/zoo/Noah's Ark on his bed. If we had a girl, it would be the same except she'd probably have a pink, flowery border. We're thinking more of resaleability of the house.
