Poppy and I usually watch an episode of “Designers’ Challenge” on HGTV while the babies have their naps. In addition to now being on a first-name basis with the host, the show seems to be giving her ideas.
“Mommy,” she said to me earlier today. “I wish a designer would come and design my bedroom.”
Oh boy.
So I asked her what she’d ask the designer to do with her room. Here’s her wishlist:
- Pink walls, “because it’s my favorite color,” she said. Her room is currently blue. For sake of clarification, in the event that we decide to repaint, I asked her what sort of pink she was thinking. “Hot pink!” she said. “Very, very pink.”
- A purple bed. She has a white bed now. We decided purple bedding would suffice.
- Some blue blankets.
- A red radio
Obviously, my girl is not afraid of color. Or opinions.
I wonder whether she’d be thrilled with something like this. Because I like it a lot, and we wouldn’t have to repaint!
Update!
I think I’m going to entirely copy these people. They even shared the paint names. Yay Internet strangers!
I love that room you linked to! I’m trying to decide how to paint & decorate Wendy & David’s shared bedroom & their playroom. The bedroom is trickier, because I don’t want their bedding or their spaces to be matchy, just not clashy. You know?
Jeni: Here are a few shared-room posts from that site!
“John and Isabel’s Shared Room”
“His ‘n’ Hers Shared Room”
“A Shared Gender-Neutral Space“
I would be thrilled with something like that! If I were a pre-k’er…
Poppy is a very colorful little girl!!! This definately proves that she stands out!!!!
