Well, we finally made a decision about the room colors. We had been seesawing about whether to paint the room (Bethany is for, the parentals are against) or not. We had painted it for Bethany's 9th birthday in dark brown, aqua, white and turquoise. Needless to say, painting over dark colors can be a challenge so we were not really excited about it. But Bethany was all for pink.
So Bethany and I went to the fabric store to get ideas from the fleece patterns and soon discovered a shocking lack of turquoise and brown. Guess what, though! We saw the cutest brown and pink block pattern with butterflies on it and were inspired!
A compromise was reached keeping the brown and white walls and turning the blue walls two shades of pink. So far we have the turquoise wall primed with two coats and nothing on the aqua one yet. Do you think a dark pink color will cover the wall okay without a lot of show through? Never painted over a dark color before. This will be a new experience for me.
I'll post a picture when it is done.
Here's hoping...
