My eight-year-old, Layne was tired of her pink room. Blue is her new favorite color, you know. That was all she needed to tell me. A blue room was born.
Layne and I worked together to spice things up and decided to add a stencil. We agree that it added a little extra pizazz. I bought the stencil at JoAnn's and used a metallic paint to make the design stand out. It looks shimmery and dreamlike at night.
The room is still a work in progress. I would like to add easy stuff like a fun chandelier and wall art; and not-so-easy stuff like crown molding and window trim. Who knows...by the time I get around to adding the "finishing touches", Layne may have a new favorite color and I can go visit my friend Frank again!
p.s. In case you were wondering, our kitchen has been 5 colors in 5 years. Half bath on the first floor, 3 colors. Kids bath, 2 colors. Gretchen’s room, 3 colors. Layne’s room, 2 colors. Master bath, 3 colors. Office, 3 colors. Dr. Phil? Help!
