I've Got The Blues...

Monday, August 23, 2010

...or...
I've got the trying to reason with my teenage daughter so she will pick a color to paint her bedroom already before I give up and just paint it white blues...

Sparky... Dear, sweet Sparky... Light to all who meet her... This girl...


Owner of this sweet smile...


Simply can not pick a paint color and stick with it... She changes her mind quicker then a wink... The other night we had a long conversation about this and afterwards her father and I couldn't remember how many colors she named... I know 15 is a hard age, but come on... In the past I've always decorated her rooms and for the past few years she didn't have any say, but now she can have whatever she wants... If we could just figure out what that is...

I think we have it narrowed to these two options...

This green...

or this blue...

Of course she has batted around a bunch of other choices, but I think we have it down to these two... (and no, she doesn't want both...)

Currently Cate is bunking in with her,but her father has promised to build her a bedroom in the (partially finished) basement by Christmas, so her opinion is only a source of argument... not at all helpful...

Alas, she has until Friday, because that is the day her dad is painting the room... He wants that part of it done before she goes to school the following Monday...

It may be a long week...

I know how you feel Cate...

Thanks for listening,


PS... The pressure of a blog posting has forced her hand.... and the winning color... is green...

  1. Both are great colors. I think she'll enjoy whichever she chooses.

  2. Sounds like me trying to pick paint colors for our house. I'm so indecisive, so for now, it stays boring white. Ugh.

  3. I love those colors! I painted the girls room green--but I love your green better, lol!

    Can't wait to see the final result! And glad your post put some pressure on, haha!

  6. My daughter had a green room and she loved it, its so fun and refreshing~ Now we just painted her room blue this summer and she loves that too both with white accents. her blue room is peaceful. these two colors are more bright and i tend to go towards the blue because its my fave color, however they both are awesome! did it get painted? i have been gone for over a week visiting my mom.
