IN keeping with redoing Miss Kaydence’s room and trying to find the perfect color to paint it, I headed to Hobby Lobby and JoAnns to do some fabric searching and try to get some inspiration. I had to go after the kids were in bed so I had about 20 min to frantically grab fabrics I liked and hurry and get strips cut to take home. After getting home I realized the explosion of samples I had!! Talk about overwhelming!!!
I was having a fabric/design/color scheme crisis and was completely confused as to where her room was headed. I sorted through the fabric and realized about 6 of them where the same color scheme that I had done Kaydence’s baby bedding/room in before she was born, so those were out. Then came time to decide if I wanted a more modern look or something fun and girly. I decided she could have modern when she outgrew being a little girl so modern was out (although I am totally redoing a chair for me desk in one of those fabrics!!). Fun and Girly it is!! I settled on these fabrics to base my inspiration off of since I loved the colors…the coral was amazing, the dark blue, grey and light purple were super cute but not screaming I’M A 2YR OLD GIRL!!! But being that she is a girl she definitely needed pink too :) I set out to Lowes for my paint sample inspiration…
It also didn’t hurt that I found this cool picture on clearance for $3 at Hobby Lobby when fabric shopping and it worked perfect with the colors of the fabric!! SO EXCITED!!!

I decided on a mixture of 2 of the sets I had placed together.. Tea Rose for the lighter color, and Sweet Simmer for the dark.
SIDE NOTE--- Some of you know that little lady is scheduled for surgery on Mon (this being Thursday), since it is a pretty important surgery we have been placed on”lockdown” until Monday to ensure she doesn’t catch a cold/cough, in which case the surgery would be rescheduled. I am sending Cuyler down to the lake to enjoy the weather and some fishing and have decided that since we cannot go outside or anywhere and cant have visitors then we needed to paint this weekend…making it a mini-girls weekend of sorts.;)
LET THE PAINTING BEGIN!!!!
