What a pretty quilt! Your DD has wonderful taste is fabric. The pillows are so cute add so much.

I have to agree with the others to let her paint. I think it would really add a finished designer look to the room.

When I was growing up our parents would buy us paint and let us paint yearly as long as we were willing to do the work. Not only was it a good learning experience but a fun family project for all.

You did a wonderful job on the quilt and accessories; they look great!

As far as the wall paint, I'm glad you decided to let her do it. All the comments here are absolutely true: paint is personal, relatively inexpensive, and can be easily changed later. More important, you let her express herself in a positive way and make memories that will last her whole life.

I would advise, like some of the others, that you let her do some or most of the work. Then when you need help painting the living room later this year, she will have experience and you can recruit her to help!

Your DD did a great job of choosing fabrics for this wonderful quilt...Love it and the pillows too.

Such a lucky girl to have such a talented mom.

Cute quilt and pillows. I'm with your daughter - I say, let her paint her walls the colors she wants. It's her space, where she spends a lot of time. In five or so years when she's out of the house, you can paint them taupe again. The colors will match the quilt perfectly.

my 12 year old daughter cut her own hair.....after all, "it's only hair"
