Tip For Using Color: Consider painting furniture a color instead of white , it adds a sense of whimsy pink and aqua are not a common pairing but they go very nicely.


Colors Used: The wall color is Pink Buff by Glidden.

are those birdcage decals? Source, please--i adore them. My little gal's room is aqua with red, pink & white accents--the birds would look smashing in there!

I love this room. It's so cheery. Where did you get the cornice for over the bed. Brilliant idea!

I LOVE the bed itself. Can you tell me where you got the actual frame? What about the bedding itself? Absolutely Beautiful!

The cornice "I" made , and the bed is an antique bed , it actually was my{sophies momma} childhood bed, I don't know where my parents got it , I just painted it from the origional brown stain finish , much more girl friendly.
