Paint the room. My son has orange walls and carpet.

She did a great job picking out the fabrics. You did a beautiful job on the rest! You can both be proud.As far as the walls go, be glad she doesn't want to paint them black! Maybe she would be happy to start with three aqua walls and the taupe wall behind the bed. It would look great...add more lime green accents. Even if you end up painting the way she wants it, it will be okay.

How perfect is that!! I vote YES on her wall color ideas, too!! It's an easy place to let kids have some say. And paint is cheap. :wink:

What a striking quilt and pillows! Let your DD have her "WILD" side, it's only paint and you can paint over it when her tastes change. They're only young once and want to express themselves. Just remind her about paybacks when she has a DD of her own one day and wants to do the same thing. Enjoy, my DD is 26 yrs. and still loves bright colors, lol!

Really cute. I think Aqua walls would look nice.

beautiful job and oh so girly.

PLEASE PLEASE let her paint the room whatever color she wants even if you HATE it. Her life and yours could be changed in a split second and you could regret not letting her paint her room the way she wants to. I know this all too well. Read the threads I have started about my daughter and you will understand why I say PLEASE let her do it.

UPDATE: Aqua & lime green paint bought,painting tomorrow! What sold me? The wonderful comments and votes for let her paint it, it's only paint.I also spoke to my mom today, commented on posting and the great response, she quickly reminded me of my (Lavendar phase) I had lavendar walls,sea foam green carpet,and peach accents you know that early 80's decor.Whoops How could I have forgotten that?So I had to test the colors out, the quilt pops against the aqua and I do have to say it looks fantastic!Thanks for the lovely comments, will post when we get the second coat on.

That is so cute with the pillows and all! Great job!

Mamagus,
Years ago, my son wanted a Teal colored bedroom. It was quite bright and before the color was popular. When he went to college, we repainted the wall a beige. I wished I kept the teal color, because it's popular, now and I love teal. Eiltcoq.

Beautiful stuff! The colors are great and the pillows really make the whole thing. You did a super job on it all.

And I agree with April - it's only paint. My 14 year old daughter has deep pink walls and an accent wall of black and white stripes. Definitely different from the white walls she had before!
