Here we go again

It occurred to me that the girls' room should really be pink.

This despite the fact that I chose to put the raspberry colored headboards in there BECAUSE of the pale blue walls.  This despite the fact that I  have claimed more than once that I love that I have two girls in a room that is NOT pink.

But the room has never really felt finished to me, and I think there might be too much going on in there.  Plus, I feel like I want a room that is light and luminous, and a sort of seashell pink seems the way to go.  I had a pink bedroom once, and I loved how soothing it was.

So up go the swatches.



They're all in the coral family of pink, picking up on the more salmon tone in the curtains.  Feels fresh to me.  Now, here's the problem.  Sherwin Williams is having a 40% off paint sale that ends today.  And I didn't get a chance to look at these swatches on a sunny day, much less paint big swatches on the wall.  So I will probably just choose one and barrel ahead despite my own better judgement.  Plus, I've never used SW, and despite my recent problems with Behr, I'm still not going back to my trusty Benjamin Moore.  (Having this blog and recording my process makes me see how I make things harder and where I go wrong.  So that's fun.)


I am most drawn to that middle color, but I think, once expanded over the entire space (it's a BIG room), it might be too saturated.  The top one feels like it would disappear.  I'm leaning towards the bottom one.

What do you think?
