pretty imperfect

i dream of making pretty things. i usually fail.

Room redecoration

I’m so excited for my upcoming room makeover!

My bedroom is a small space and is currently painted dark green. It’s similar to this colour:

While I love the colour, I’m getting a little bored of it. And it’s a little too dark to wake up to every day. So I’ve decided to go in an entirely different direction… bright pink.

I envision a colour similar to this:

Here’s how I see it, right now I’m at a place in my life where I don’t live with a guy who would absolutely hate to see this every day. Nor do I have a guy in my life to complain about visiting a pink bedroom. I also like how the pink and white work together.

This is probably the only time in my life when I could get away with such a bright and girly paint colour on my walls. And I think that being surrounded by something so bright could possibly make me energized and happy.

The problem is, everyone I talk to about the colour choice seems a little wary and don’t want to tell me it’s bad, but the look on their face says it’s bad.

I’m also considering a deep purple colour (but then I go back to a deep colour like the green and that would still make the room feel too dark) or a shade of blue, either bright or dusty.

So let me put it out there… am I making a mistake painting this bright pink colour? Or should I stop listening to everyone else and just do it? Any other suggestions?

    I say go for it… what’s the worst that can happen? You could always just do one, two or even three walls bright pink and the others white? I think the white and pink look really good together too :)

    I had a hot pink/ fuchsia bathroom when I first moved out and I think a crazy paint colour is something every girl should do at least once in their lives. I just found that the bright pink bathroom sucked when it came to putting on makeup… it does crazy things to the light in a small enclosed space lol.
