a new room for the girl

The girlies birthday is coming up and as a birthday gift, I told her we could re-decorate her room. So, for the past few months we have been looking around at options and ideas for bedding/style.


this is what I had in mind...



this is what she had in mind...









While our style choices may be different and I will give in and she will obey :) I think we found a cute happy medium (by the way, I am really liking that chalk board stripe on the wall in the pottery barn example above)


I can get my pink and white and she can get her green, brown and more "tween" look. Today we are off to look at paint options - she is wanting every wall a different color...aahh..here we go again!

hi, i came across your blog and enjoyed the stories of your ur kids. I am also turning 40 this year. I have 2 kids that are 15 & 20. I love the choice for the bedroom. I remember when my daughter wanted each wall a different color. We "settled" on one wall a solid color, and a horizontal stripe running around the other 3 white walls. It looks kinda cool. Enjoyed your blog!

Oh what fun! I remember when I was her age and my mom and I redecorated my room for my birthday. I loved it!
