Brianna's New Room!

Well, at long last Brianna has the new room we've been promising her for the last few months. As of right now it's the nicest room in the house since we wanted to get hers put together first to ease the transition and trauma of moving. I think it turned out pretty darn good! We bought most the new stuff from IKEA before we left, including the bed, the tiny bedside table, the over the bed leaf canopy, the stuffed animal hammock and the bedding. I love the fun, bright colors! It's sort of a rainbow, orange and pink, jungle-ish sort of thing. It sounds odd but I think it pulls together. One of Bree's favorite things about the room though has to be her pink wall. Hooray for having the freedom to paint your own walls whatever color you want! We picked this pink since it matches the pink in the comforter and rug and wanted to tip the scales of the theme to the slightly more girly side. We only painted the one wall though since it's a very bright pink and I was afraid it would either make the room seem smaller, overly crayony or like the inside of a bottle of Pepto Bismol. So, for now it's just the one pink wall. Bree loves the pink though! When we got done painting the back wall she pointed to another wall and said, "Now make that one pink!" So, I'm thinking of also painting the wall right beside the bed pink as well. We'll see. For now though, take a look....

(When I was taking these pix Bree was very excited that all her friends in MN would get to see her new room. Although she keeps asking, "Will they visit?" We miss you MN friends!)
