Looks great Cat! BTW, I like the color of your lounge chairs!

I'm personally afraid of color, preferring neutrals, but you've inspired me! I've already made one trip to pick out paint colors for my daughter's on-it's-way-to-being a rainforest themed bedroom. The pale pink is going away and grass green and fushia trim are what she wants. As she showed me the colors she liked, my thoughts were "Whoa!

Maybe we should think about this a little more." But, I think I need to relax, let go and let my daughter go "wild" with her color choices! She's the only one with a room ready for paint. Might as well have fun with it! It has been fun accessorizing it!

My first three houses all had pastels throughout. Now that I'm older, I've gotten a little braver.

Ryleigh's room is VERY pink and yellow with a turquoise rick rack horizontal stripe. I'll be so sad when she grows up and wants to tone it down.

Thank you!
I think it's the first time I'm as happy with an apartment, and with what I do with it. It's warm!
Rebarnmom, just dare! Playing with color is fun, and I'm certain your daughter knows exactly where she's going with her choices!
