Wednesdays - What Color is That??

butterfly girls room
girls purple bedroomStacey Tannehill painted this adorable bedroom for her daughter Lauren. Stacey describes the process, "After looking at a room we liked with similar designs on the wall (the flyer was from home depot), we then hand drew all the designs onto transparency sheets (clear plastic sheets of paper). Then we used an overhead projector to transfer them to the walls. I also traced one of the butterflies off of her bedroom set and transferred it to the wall as well.
To get started we painted the walls with "Bed of Roses" by Behr. Then after tracing the designs onto the walls we painted the tallest light pink (looks almost white) ferns with "Rose Fantasy" by Behr. The really dark purple designs (some people think it looks brown in the pics) were painted with "Delicious Berry" by Behr. The butterflies were done with the same colors as well.
We then added trim base board which we stained to match her furniture and added her name which was painted with the same colors above, above the toddler bed.
We picked the colors to coordinate with her bedding and room accessories. Obviously this could be done in any variety of colors and still look great!"
