Rylan's Room Re-do

For about a year and a half now, since Rylan could string a sentence together, she has wanted a purple bedroom.

We went to Home Depot a long time ago and picked out a few purple samples. Once we got home we taped them all up on the wall and let Rylan decide. (Truth: I cut all of the absolute "no's" off of the sample and taped the yeses and maybes to the wall. Shhhh... don't tell Rylan!)

Rylan's choice was a nice light grey-lavender (Behr's Purple Veil) and I was quite pleased with her selection.


A few months later, we finally got around to painting it. What a difference! Her room feels so bright and airy now... who knew beige was so dark!?

I'm still working on finding new bedding, but we did manage to get a bookshelf and mirror set up in place of a dresser. The girls spend a lot of time in there "reading" and putting Dora and Diego down for naps. Next up Tatum's room. I've got some big ideas for her tiny little space.
