The Kid's Room

I finally got the kids room decorated after two years. So I wanted to originally paint the walls a cute blue, but then I found the perfect quilt that matched Coleman's bug pillow shams that was blue. So I ended up painting the walls green. I have so much green in my house already I was not excited but I wanted it a fun kind of bright green. So I picked out a green with the little color blocks that matched some of the green on the crib bumper and the pillow shams and it turned out to be soooooooo bright, you could say it was almost florescent. I was terrified, I did not like it at all, but was sick of painting so I decided to live with it for a little bit. After about a week with all the decorations up etc. I ended up loving it. It is still really bright but it is so fun and colorful for my little kids room. Next time I think I will do a shade lighter, but not too much, the color is really growing on me. I am not a daring person when it comes to color on my walls, but maybe I just turned over a new leaf. I love it because all of the decorations are white and now they really stand out with a bright color underneath.
