Pink and Navy Girl’s Room option

Materials and the sequence of the job sit together on this page.

Well, lately I have been thinking a lot about Etta’s room. We are in the middle of our kitchen, remodel so I can’t get working on it yet, but I girl can always make plans right? I’ve been thinking mostly about colors. 

Etta has made it clear to me that she wants a pink bedroom. I have no problem giving her the color she wants, but I am going to put a little bit of my opinion in the mix and add some navy. So let’s do a little mommy reconnaissance right now with you to show you what I have in mind, ta da: (okay not a living room, but do you see what I mean?) I love these colors together!

Picking colors can be overwhelming. Whenever I show you great options of colored rooms on the blog, I get a lot of comments like, “I wish I were brave enough to try that…” or “I’ve been trying to decide on a color for months to paint my (fill in the blank)” And I have been there before too, no one wants to have to paint a room twice. Who has the time for that? 

So, I think it is timely that I just I found out about the new tool at MyColortopia.com (a great place for learning about color and color inspiration) called Color My Room.   Color My Room allows you to upload a photo of a room in your home and preview any Glidden paint color on your walls! 

Say what? Yeah! It is like shopping for clothes and trying them on in the dressing room before actually committing to the purchase (or time for that matter that goes into painting!)! So here is how it works!

Hop over to Color My Room, sign in and get started!

You select a photo you want to manipulate and a palette to use and then you just draw an outline of the space you want to convert and paint. The program takes you through step by step so it isn’t hard.   straightforward as that.   Since Etta’s room is in the middle of construction, I will show you how I fooled around with the palettes of a room with a picture I have loved for a few years. I can’t remember which magazine it came from or when I got it in the mail, but it was love at first site! I LOVE this space. What is not to love? There is a built in bed, book shelves and color… But since we are thinking of a different color story for etta’s room, let me show you how I changed it to look exactly like I want:   And here is what I did to test color in the room after a few go rounds, with two separate palettes on My Colortopia:   clearly CUTE! It is pretty straightforward! Now, you never have to be scared of color again!…   And because fooling around with the color palette of that room, just got me giddy for the plans I have look at the other great pink and navy inspiration pictures I’ve been collecting!
