Cotton Candy Pink

Maddy has been asking for a pink room for over a year now. She LOVES pink, princesses, polly pockets, Barbie - basically anything girly. When we found some adorable bedding at Target, that matched what I had been looking at in Pottery Barn Kids (just never went on sale), we knew the bedroom would soon be pink. It was hard for Sam and I to re-paint her room because four years ago, we moved her into the bigger bedroom and painted her room. We researched what we wanted for her (she was too little to voice an opinion beyond Dora) room and found a rug online. We matched the colors to that rug (even though we never bought the actual rug) and drew a mural on one wall. Then we spent every evening for a week painting her room and it turned out better then we could have hoped! To paint over that was sad because we invested so much painting her "old" room and we loved that mural. But we are allowing our little girl her independence and have granted her wish to have a pink room. So now one wall is Pink Chintz with some wall decals from Target (until we decide on something different eventually) and all of the other walls are now Cotton Candy Pink. We think it glows a bit at night, but Madison LOVES it! She would love it even more with princesses dancing on all of the walls and a giant Cinderella castle - but at least she gets the pink! Here are some photos of the old green room (excuse the picture of me - it is the best one I can find of the mural) and the new pink room - how my baby girl has grown and now the rocking chair is in her sissy's room!
