Hollie Halverson on Jan 24, 2016Those are the colors of flowers. Pinterest is great for color pallettes. Just search color pallettes and you will see all different shades and what colors go with them.Helpful Reply

Marcia on Jan 24, 2016I would paint the walls a blush color with brighter pink and green accessories so they can be changed out. Either of you may want to change the color scheme later. But definitely ask her what she thinks and go thru magazines to see what makes her smile.Helpful Reply

Laura vawter on Jan 24, 2016I think a French Country look with blush pink and pale sage green would be beautiful and it wouldn't look like a little girl's room. Use "adult" fabrics like satin and linen to give a sophisticated look.Helpful Reply

Wanda.ll on Jan 25, 2016I would go with white walls and then to the French country myself too. The older you get the more light you need in a room to see good. So white everything except stuff like pillows and girly things. Perfume bottles or decorative bottles, flowers and a soft comfy chair/chaise maybe out of something very soft.If have rood a small desk to use to write, computer and put makeup on. .But what would she like? What is her style soft, hard, grily or just something she can use? Ask her.Helpful Reply

Liz Straughn on Jan 25, 2016I would ask Grandma! Does she like soft colors, bold colors? Is she country, shabby chic, modern? If it's a surprise, see how her tastes are now and expand on it. If she likes shabby chic, go with mostly soft colors, then throw in some bright throw pillows (for the couch/chair or bed. Be sure and include some of her pictures of family possibly reframed in nice frames.Helpful Reply

Liz Straughn on Feb 08, 2016Go to some estate sales or garage sales. You might find some chenille (sp?) spreads. You can usually get them for $5-$20. If you find two, you can make pillows with one and use the best one for a spread. They come in different pastels. If you don't really care for pastel ones, get a white one and use bright colors for the throw pillows and pillow cases.Helpful Reply
