Bedroom Colours

Lately, I've been thinking a whole lot about painting Kayla's room. At the moment her room is a medium pink and I've been meaning to paint at least one wall of her room ever since she got her big girl bed with her new duvet cover... Let's just say it's been a few months. Preferably I only want to paint the one wall since that would be the simplest, easiest, and quickest! I've been thinking a LOT about what to paint and the main thing I do know that I don't want to paint anything darker! Since I wanted to keep it lighter, I somehow thought about painting "the" wall in a pale yellow (although I like all colours, yellow is not one of my favorites). Something about a girly pink and pale yellow just seems really appealing and girly to me. The only person who seems to agree with me is Paul, who loves BRIGHT yellow... but take a look at this photo, how adorable is this room??


Since Paul seems to be the only person in the WHOLE world who enjoys my choice of pink and yellow, and since I was also wondering about how she would grow into it, if it would get to baby-ish really fast, I've been looking at some other colours as well. I've always known that green is my colour, but I realized how much I am always drawn to green while looking through all the paint chips! I happen to like my greens on the yellow side, and I like my blues on the green side. Most people think it's weird, but I have no clue why..

I have a couple paler avocado/oilve greens for her room, plus a beautiful, classic, blue that is slightly on the light side and just seems to have the right tough of green and gray and I am completely torn! I haven't decided if I would paint the whole room in similar colours or just paint "the" wall and leave the rest as is, I'll have to work on that later though... I'm so terrible with picking a colour to commit to - I love it all!

The greens below seem really washed out in the brighter picture, but I just couldn't hold my camera strait enough when I was taking the other picture! The darker pink is the colour that is currently on Kayla's walls and the lighter pink is similar to her duvet cover. The print at the bottom is from Joel Dewberry's Ginseng collection and is one of a few that I'm considering putting on Kayla's wall.
