Bullseye Properties, LLC. on Jan 30, 2011I have two daughters, 18 and 15. My girls did their rooms and picked out wild colors that I think look terrible, but they love it. What I did was add mirrors and cool lighting and made them a vanity area. they love it.Helpful Reply

James A on Jan 31, 2011At 15, maybe Bulleye Properties comment is right on, let her choose her own colors. It will be fun, an opportunity to show you trust her, and it maybe awful but she can't complain because she owns it. Perhaps there will be fewer weird posters on the wall if she chooses the decor.Helpful Reply

Brent B on Jan 31, 2011I like the idea of letting her choose the colors Bullseye : ) It's probably best to take home a few samples to test, as we want to be sure she likes the look before fully committing. Another idea might be to tape off and create patterns with painters tape after laying your base coat colors, or cutting out stencil patterns printed off the internet. Encourage her to get creative- it'll be a fun experience for you both, she'll feel empowered in designing her own space, and you'll be sure to receive extra cool points!Helpful Reply

James A on Feb 01, 2011Perhaps, a trip to the home store to learn about and compare color matches would be in order before letting the 15-year old go wild.Helpful Reply
