The Color Pink ~ Phase 1 of Hailey's Bedroom Redo

What girl doesn't Love the color Pink?! How appropriate for Valentine's day...the cutest cards & cupcakes made by my precious daughter's! And Red Velvet cake at that, my favorite!

What else is Pink?! Great question...
With Hailey's birthday coming up this Sunday(Feb 19th, she turns 5!)...sigh, I decided to change up my "home projects" priorities and redo Hailey's bedroom. Since the Tinkerbell theme as turned into a "busy" room full of mix & match decor with pink's & purple's...black & browns...and well, just plain chaotic! We decided to compromise on just...Pink & white...and of course, a ballerina/princess theme!

All I can say is, I had no idea what I was getting myself into!

Here is the before "chaos" room...embarrassing! Can't believe I took the only before picture with her bedskirt in shambels!

I must say...my sweet Lindsey will certainly miss her stuffed animal "hang out." Now..where to put all of these stuffed animals that take over your house? And if you're wondering what she has in her mouth...it's the stuffed bunny rabbit's leash that was required by Hailey.

So on with the "Redo"... I let Hailey paint the first few strokes, so she could say that she helped paint her room..Pink! Then it was time to lock the door & open the window to complete the painting.

Because she wanted a Pink Ballerina/Princess theme...I decided that I would go out on a limb and paint a mural. Someone suggested to get wall decals, but for some reason, my crafty/artsy side came out and I said, "instead of buying...why not just draw & paint it!"
So after 2 nights of graphing out my picture that I printed from the computer...and graphing on the wall to get the same proportions...the drawing started...

So tonight I painted the ballerinas one shade darker that my wall paint...
Hailey absolutely loves how it turned out...but now has requested glitter on them...ugh! Well see...

The "After" picture...for now...
