i'm redoing monkey girl's room. because it looks like a boy's. at the very best gender neutral. so, inspired by the bright colors and hawaii/hula/tropical theme, i am using this fabric by michael miller as a feature fabric in a quilt (which my mom is in the process of making) and going with it for the entire room. i actually found the fabric in hawaii. i am so excited!
i'm open to any suggestions from anybody - wall color, accessories, anything! i want to go this weekend and get paint and supplies. help a girl out!
oh, and i love this room, except for the stripes:
how fun! so many possibilities!
i'll have to email you tonight! :)

I love that material! If it was me, I would do a light orangy/peachy color covering 2 walls with a chair rail. Then on the other two walls I would use the orangy/peach color only on the bottom half of the chair rail and then paint above it white.
Then you could accesorize with pillows and bedding in similar colors and maybe in pok-a-dot and striped patterns.
That is so dang cute! I have seen so many cute little beach signs on Pottery Barn that would go great with it to. I have also seen a cute little clothes line mage hanging across a shelf with a cute little bikini hanging from it in a girls room before.
So many possibilities I can't wait to see it!

That is going to be so sweet! I can't wait to see the finished room. I love the fabric. I wish I was a better sewer, or had a better sewing machine.
