I told my oldest daughter that she could pick the paint color for her room. Big surprise, she picked pink. What I hadn’t really planned on, though, was the incredibly bright shade she set her heart on. It is in the neighborhood of hot pink and aptly named “Invitation to a Princess.” Perhaps I should not have told her the name — it most certainly didn’t help dissuade her from the color.

Since I had already agreed to let her pick, I didn’t go back on my word. I did, however, have to draw the line at her request that the ceiling be painted pink too. Once I found this wallpaper I gained hope that her bold pink choice could really work. We’ve got a few more things to do before the girls’ room is complete. Stay tuned for lots of pictures.
