Turquoise and Purple Tween Room
I didn't take "before" pictures of my 11 year old daughter's room. Suffice it to say that it is was typical white-walled, hardwood-floored room. She went to Grandma and Grandpa's for the summer after picking out colors for the room and instructing me to include dots and stripes somehow.
I painted most of the room turquoise with 2 partial accent walls and some stripes and spots purple. I used painter's tape to make the stripes.
I used a plastic lid and a plastic bucket for the circles. I rolled the edges of the plastic and put them against the wall, twisting slightly and carefully. I filled in the circles free-hand. Can you spot the hidden smoke detector?
The circles swirl above the mirror.
The tree and bird are wall stickers. What a pain to put the tree up without it falling all over itself and sticking, but I think it's worth it.
Note to others who are doing this for the first time. Match curtains to your paint! I searched all over to find these and was relieved to not have to add a sewing project to this room.
My daughter opted for a pallet on the floor instead of the bed. So to the cellar it went.
I got these stencils at Michaels. I put a matching diamond on the secretary. Maybe my favorite part of the room.

How fun! What tween girl can resist a colorful space like this?
