How do you convince a little girl that “barney purple” is a bad color choice for bedroom walls?
There are a lot of bad choices one can make in life… “barney purple” is not one of them. Help her expand her mind and creativity. Let her help you paint her room “barney purple” – you don’t have to do it all in one day. There are ways you can brighten it up, lighter brighter curtains, desks, photo frames, bed covers, pinstripes (as mentioned) I can’t tell you how many colors and themes I have painted on my daughters rooms. When my oldest was 14yr she decided she wanted to “journal” on her pastel colored walls. She notated important moments in her life. When friends spent the night or came over to celebrate an event, they signed her wall. I thought it was a mess at first but there really are worse decisions she could have made in life. Now she is getting ready to go off to college. Her younger sister is already making plans for her room, which includes painting. The thought of painting over all those precious moments makes me sad. But, my youngest is now 15yr and moving into a new era
