Show Us Your Life - Kids' Rooms

It's kids' rooms day on Kelly's Korner's Show Us Your Life Series - the room I paint for the most!   When we moved into our house about four months ago, I had the most fun planning the kids' rooms.  It was time for them to make some changes and update their rooms, but everything had been on hold until the house buying process was over.

My daughter had always had pink a a major theme in her nursery and then room.  She decided to go with a pale lime green paired with a pale aqua ceiling for something different a little more grown up.  I wasn't too sure about that colored ceiling, but I love it and it shows off the trim.  

There was a big, dark ceiling fan in this room originally.  The one thing she really asked for - other than a canopy bed - was a chandelier.  I bought this one online and it turned out to be the perfect size.  It is so pretty lit up at night.  I also did a chandelier vinyl wall decal above her antique wrought iron bed.

My son's walls were a nice cream that I was okay with leaving.  He really wanted a blue room and since I had gotten his sister her wish list item, I felt like I needed to do that for him.  Her specified not light blue.  I don't really like dark wall colors and was really stressing about the right shade of blue.   I went with this sort of stormy shade of blue that matches the chambray color in his quilt.  When it was done and I saw it with the wide cream trim and wall art, I just loved it.

He is a baseball player and just loves the game - not one particular team.  I found this Pottery Barn Kids quilt with all of the MLB logos on it.  Perfect!  I paired it with some cheerful polka dotted pillows and we were all set!

Here's a link to another post that better details where I bought everything.  Most of it is from etsy shops and I love supporting other artists!
