I can’t believe it is already Monday. It was project central around her over the last couple of days. My daughter has decided that she would like less pink in her room because she is growing up and likes other things now. Gasp! My heart sank. Have you seen her room? It’s very pink. And I love it. 
{photos by Jylare} But since this little one {who promises to be my assistant one day} has a design mind of her own I was more than happy to make a couple of changes. We will keep the pale pink walls but work in a bit of gray and green. So here is just a sneak peek as we have a ways to go. I took on a painting project which I will tell you more about later. By the way, I am warning you that all photos came from my phone so excuse the quality. Here it is in progress: 
And this mirror is sort of how the whole thing began. More on that later as well. It’s a long long story! 
And some soft zig zags have now entered the picture. She loves this blanket {I picked it up at HomeGoods} and she reads under it every night and every morning. It’s a keeper. 
While little missy and I were scheming in her room, these two were up to their own type of fun. Between playing soccer, watching football, Lego building competitions, a little tackling of their own, and just plain bonding time. . . they are pretty much inseparable. I love these two boys! 
Once Riley and I finish her room and recover from the DYI projects, I will show you what her updated space looks like! Hope you all had a great weekend. Oh, and don’t forget to cruise on by and link up your projects this Thursday. It’s a Keep C.A.L.M. and Organize On party!!!!
Loving the room so far. what color is the gray?
looking forward to seeing the new space, altjough the old one was gorgeous!
can't wait to see it. the drawers look fantastic so far. i'm jealous of that chevron blanket.;)
Aww, bittersweet seeing that sweet little room get a 'grown up' makeover!
Can't wait to see what you and your little designer in training come up with :), love the sunburst mirror and it is a great inspiration piece. Good luck and stop by anytime…

What a great combination to update the pink! I'm coming back to see your progress and can't wait to see how it turns out.
oh how fun – can't wait to see the stripes project all finished!
Oh i cant wait to see! your little girl is just a creative as mommy!
So sweet that Riley is going to help out! I do LOVE her pink room though! The gray will definitely compliment it!
I can't wait to see this. I am getting ready to do my daughters room and I want that rug and mirror! so cute.

Cant wait to see how it turns out!
Eeek, so exciting! And I love that she is following along in your super talented footsteps.
Can't wait to see how you update the already lovely space!

Oh my goodness! I love the stripes! I cannot wait to see what you do with the grays and greens against the pale pink! 🙂
Oh no! I can so relate, they get a mind of their own and want changes, but it was absolutely the most adorable, and VERY PINK room. Her deciding she doesn't want as much pink is an issue, isn't it? Looks like you are figuring it out, what fun, can't wait to see. Janell
Its such a sweet room! I know the changes will just make it better 🙂 My 3 year old just told me she didn't like her room because the walls aren't pink (though everything in it is!). Oh how that comment warmed my heart. I am going to just enjoy every second while I still can, no doubt it won't last very long…the pink days are numbered for sure!
I can't wait to see 🙂

Can't wait to see!!
Riley's pink room has got to be one of the most adorable little girl's room I have ever seen. So cute that she wants to make a few changes now. She is a mini you Courtney! I'm loving those stripes and gray will be fun with the pink! Can't wait to see it! Great photo of our hubby with your son.
Wha? She wants less pink?!?! Your cutie assistant is growing up! I like what you've got going and I see you got the knobs off the dresser! The stripes are a fun idea! I agree with Allison- love that black and white pic of your boys.
I can't wait to see! I also can't wait to hear the story behind the mirror!
I like it already! Fun stripes and I adore the pink and gray combo. My daughter is a little younger and is still very into everything pink. So cute that she wants to help design her room.
Very cute! both the the before and after!
LOVE the mirror!!
