(multiple choice) - What should I do?

I just got this email from my sister-in-law:

I was looking at your registry and saw that you picked out a white crib.  Are you going to paint the room a certain color?  I wanted to make the letters for her name to hang on the wall.  Just wondering what color I should do the letters.

My sister-in-law is wonderful, but we don’t have the same taste.  I was thinking just last night that I did not want to put the baby’s name on the wall.  I am also kind of particular and a control freak about the things that I will and will not hang on my wall/display in my home.  What should I do?

a.  Stop being a jerk and relinquish control of this one thing.

b.  Tell her politely that I don’t want letters on the wall (this will still hurt her feelings).

c.  Ask her to make letters than I can use on a bookshelf instead of the wall (is that rude)?

You’re not limited to the suggestions above, so please let me know if you come up with something better.
