Evalyn's Room

The room that I almost cried about leaving in our current home is my daughter's room. When I found out I was pregnant I began the search of ideas to decorate a room for a boy or girl. I had a hard time finding an idea for a boys room, so I was extremely excited when we found out we were having a girl. That same day we went and bought the paint and I went to work. I spent a lot of time making sure it was the way I wanted. I am not good with change and thought about doing her room exactly the same...



 I love the colors and the idea, but I had to find something new to do. This is what her new room looked like before I started my work.

 Yup you see that... Popcorn ceiling... Yuck!

 The flooring isn't finished. Closet doors falling off.

Yes, that is a deadbolt instead of a door knob... Not sure what this room was used for..

I had decided I was either going to paint the room all pink or paint it the same way. I started googling the paint colors I used in her first bedroom when I came across this blog that had used the same colors.

I fell in love! I wanted the same tea cup vintage feel for Evalyn's first room and that is why I chose the colors I did. This was a way to bring the old room into the new room with a new design. I also LOVE stripes!

So I started my work... I scraped the popcorn ceiling off and re-textured. It is a lot simpler than it sounds. I did it with no help from a man. :)

I have started the stripes. I wish I had made the light pink stripes a little wider now but I am not going to change it now. I still need to do the brighter pink thin stripes. I am also having trouble finding where the flooring was purchased so I can finish it.

 Here is a picture of Evalyn she loves to drink from a straw so I distracted her today with playing with a cup while I worked.
