If there's ever a time in a gal's life to have hot pink walls I'd say 10 is perfect!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13433889745647109411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425727782334917141.post-75318700128197069682012-02-17T11:54:06.931-08:002012-02-17T11:54:06.931-08:00It's so fabulous that you let her do it her wa...It's so fabulous that you let her do it her way. When the kids help, they are so much more invested in not just making it theirs, but keeping it nice. The desk is grand, and I do love the Bloomin' Pink walls (you're right, they are PINK). I see what you mean about the loft bed.... but there's not much of a way around it unless you lighten up from black to white. Maybe a light cushion on the window seat would help to reflect more light into the room? Or some scattered mirrors on the wall opposite to the window?That's Ms. Amy to You...https://www.blogger.com/profile/18357451593852423745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425727782334917141.post-76448699249629090292012-02-17T10:51:09.265-08:002012-02-17T10:51:09.265-08:00I can't say enough about how amazing it is tha...I can't say enough about how amazing it is that you've allowed your daughter to create a room that she loves. When I was a kid a wanted a white bedroom. My parents wouldn't allow it, and I never got over it...I now live in a white house. My kids have a turquoise, black and gold room, and I wouldn't have it any other way (well, yes, I would totally have it another way :)). Wish I had some words of advise about the loft bed. Is there anyway to paint it out in a lighter colour (as you've said it doesn't fit on any of the other walls?). Just close your eyes, think of the light and the happiness of your daughter. Take a deep breath and walk away :)<br />Love the Harry Potter montage!<br />jenniferdouglas.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425727782334917141.post-59394642255016110902012-02-17T10:33:02.014-08:002012-02-17T10:33:02.014-08:00Thanks Hila.

Just not sure where I'll draw the line, with my daughter. My sister had New Kids on the Block posters on every wall AND the ceiling. So yeah. That might be too much "expression."Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000400260579054708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425727782334917141.post-38981250496210337412012-02-16T22:14:41.043-08:002012-02-16T22:14:41.043-08:00Oh!

She'll be over it soon enough, and then maybe at that point she will like more of what you like. My mom was a great mom, but there wasn't a speck of me in my rooms growing up. I had no say. So, major pats on the back to you.<br /><br />You worked hard this week. Thank you for sharing it with me, too. :)Juleshttp://www.pancakesandfrenchfries.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425727782334917141.post-67501403262842190722012-02-16T17:52:34.713-08:002012-02-16T17:52:34.713-08:00I'm impressed by all you work!

It would also put it right up against the odd window-seat/window wall, blocking even more light. I'd love to know what your 10-year-old wants!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000400260579054708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425727782334917141.post-64118016753269508362012-02-16T15:18:04.475-08:002012-02-16T15:18:04.475-08:00I think it's awesome because your daughter is ...I think it's awesome because your daughter is happy. And you did a lot of work to get it that way. I'm impressed! But I would feel the same way if it were my house. It's torture because if you could put the loft bed on the white wall, it wouldn't block the light so much. But since that window is set back, it probably won't work. I'm sure you've thought of everything. Sounds like you're just gonna have to get used to it like you said. It's not bad, though, as far as tween rooms go. You should hear what my almost 10 year old is requesting!pamelottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055212577337197472noreply@blogger.com
