Enjoying color...

In preparation for selling their home, the previous owner had everything painted off-white. Everything. Walls, trim every surface was the same 'color'.  While amazing bland and boring, I am thankful for this clean slate. We have the opportunity to put our own touch on this house.  And as we do, our vision and style comes through. Sort of...
On a whim, I went to the store and picked up a swatch of heavily saturated color, thinking that Sunni would not say, yes. However, she did. I am a fan of the blue...it is a rich deep BLUE. (not to be confused with blue). Then as we were putting on the walls we struggled with the chair rail.  We have never had a chair rail running in our rooms. Something new. So the quandary of how to best paint color(s) and which, where...once again the joys and peril of home ownership. :)
That said, below are a couple pictures of the progress. We held an informal, unscientific poll of how best to put the room together...SO without additional hesitation and stalling...

AND probably MORE importantly, is the joy of painting a little girl's room. The challenge becomes making it feminine and 'girly' while still setting the stage for her own personality to shine through without expectation and requirements from society and her parents.  (And more importantly without TOO much pink...it is literally taking over our world).

 So as you can 'sort of' see, we went with an Aqual/teal(ish) color. We really like this color...in real life. With the colors and fabrics we have picked out we are SUPER excited...and hopeful that one day (probably after she stops drooling all over herself) Evie will love it too. And if not...well, then she will be a 'typical' child, who desires to be counter-parental. :)
