The Girl Picked Blue

Sharing is caring!

The girl picked blue is the enchanting color my daughter picked for her bedroom!

Well we’re about 2 months into the new home and one of the first makeovers I wanted to cross off the list was my daughter’s bedroom.

A little girls room with a child sitting on the floor beside the bed.I simply loved her last bedroom… and so did she.

A little girls bedroom with wallpaper and pictures on the wall.It’s going to be tough to outdo that one.

So this time around when I asked her what color she wanted her walls to be, she of course picked blue again… her favorite color. And I have to say that makes me happy since it beautifully complements her bedroom furniture and… well, it’s not pink.

Painting the bedroom wall poetic prose clark kensington paint .The color we chose this time was the calming hue Poetic Prose from the Clark+Kensington line at Ace Hardware. I actually thought when I first picked out this color that it would be a little lighter. Yikes was my first impression on the walls. But then the hue began to grow on me.

The bedroom painted blue.And now I actually kinda love it.

Blue bedroom walls for girl.The mirror used to hang above our fireplace in the old house. Seems to almost match her furniture perfectly, right?

A cream dresser with flowers on it.I won’t get too deep into her bedroom as there’s still some BIG things to show you in the coming weeks, like her stage. Remember when I first showed you a sneak peek of it here?

And we need some window treatments and lighting (yeah, there’s only a socket there now).

But so far it’s amazing what a simple gallon of paint can do.

    I love your daughter’s bedroom furniture. The shape of the pieces is so bold and beautiful. The blue looks great on the walls.

    So chic and adorable! Wondering where the bedding is from?!?! I have been looking for JUST the right bedding to do a white transformation…but I need help!!! Any insight?

      Her bedding is from Target! I’ve also seen tons of similar pintuck styles from Joss and Main. I actually just bought a queen size set from there for about $70! Included the skirt and 2 shams. LOVE it!

    The blue is gorgeous – like you’re floating in heaven. And the touch of pink sets thinks off nicely. Can’t wait to see the stage!

    Love the blue! I might have to get a sample of this! I’m trying to figure out what color to do our bathroom and this might be just the right color!

      Kim, this is a gorgeous color! And it translates really well from bright lights to a darker space. So cheerful yet not too overbearing!

    That’s what I’m looking for! Something that is beachy but wanted to add a chandelier over my tub and make it look glamorous also!
