Bright and cheery

Annika's room was boring and beige, and I wanted to brighten it up a little. Well, it's definitely brighter!

Before:




After (despite it being bright, I am very happy with the outcome):



Since this is also our guest room, we'll have to supply sunglasses to our guests for they wake up in the morning. But as Dan said, "Annika's room is just like her bright and cheery!"

  1. Wow! That is quite the transformation! When did you paint her room? I remember you showing me swatches of the colors when you were here but wasn't really thinking how bright it was. I think it looks like a perfect girl's room however! Maybe it will help Annika wake up and get her going in the morning? :)

  2. Notice how straight the lines are...the tapper must have been an expert :)!

    I prefer to call the piece we created "hint of watermelon".

  3. I love it! Seems perfect for Annika! When did you do this? Hopefully some day we will get to visit and stay in there. You can't help to wake up happy.

  4. Takes guts to pick out this color and go for it. But, I can attest to the fact that it sleeps great. Course my eyes were shut :-)

    Just kidding, I think it is a perfect room for a smiling, super, little girl.

  5. It's adorable! It has a Lilly Pulitzer look to it...may need to dig out an old copy of The Preppy Handbook from the 80's for Annika.

  7. Okay tell me you did not paint that by yourself, pregnant. Please tell me your "taper" painted that before he left.
