Yes, the bedroom is such an important space. Everyone needs a space to call their own and that feels like a sanctuary. Kudos to you for giving yourself the gift of finally having a space you truly love to retreat to. I can’t wait to see what your room will look like after the new changes you make!

I moved from my house which I spent a zillion hours decorating, making every decision by myself, to his teeny apartment halfway around the world. Unfortunately he has opinions about the space, which makes things more difficult since we often don't agree. So until an hour ago, the bedroom walls were covered in blue flocked wallpaper. Except now that I've taken it down, I realize there was no paper in it -- it was more like wall carpet. He's had it for over 10 years, and since we both seem to have allergies, I finally said this has GOT to go. The thing is we've now gone from 'grandma's house' to 'crack den' and now I need to figure out how to get to romantic, dreamy sanctuary. At least we have a catalyst...

My parents painted my walls pink, too. When we moved into that house (after a less-than-thrilling move from rural England to dreadful-ville IL), that pink room made such a difference in my 1st grade state of mind. Also... opinion you value, eh? I am assuming Tim Gunn isn't invited to NYE or anything? My mom made me a Strawberry Shortcake comforter cover and curtains when I was in first grade.

I'm more a turquoise wall girl than pink, but either way, the male veto can be a serious problem. Looking forward to seeing the results. Sounds like fun!

She has two older brothers and most of the house is overwhelmed with sports-related EVERYTHING so this is the only space that's really hers. So she chose bright pink walls and THEY. ARE. FABULOUS. I'm jealous, actually. If I could paint the walls in my rental, I'd be doing it right now. She also got a little chandelier and frilly, girly curtains and even at 10 years old, I can tell what I difference it's made for her. Can't wait to see your 'after' pictures!!
