My Daughter-my Client

My 15 year-old daughter has been aching to give her bedroom a new look. She chose white paint for her walls when we painted a year and a half ago and really regretting that decision. When one's daughter is the client it seriously complicates the already slippery slope of guiding a clients choices. Here is where we are.

Custom curtains on Etsy

Budget and practicality are major concerns but also the fact that she will be off to college in a few years and I will be using many of these items as the guest room decor at that point. I think we have settled on chevron curtains. This is the girl who wanted cheetah print curtains a few months ago so I am breathing a huge sigh of relief. I might try to "guide" her to this Greek key pattern instead.

She was leaning towards several bedding sets from Target--totally budget friendly.

She has toyed with the idea of a plain white comforter too. Given the high fickle factor it is a wise choice. She wants to add yellow, gray and black elsewhere. It was red and orange two weeks ago. See what I mean?
We have this Ikea Ektorp loveseat and I could get out of buying more yellow and gray pillows by giving her the pillows that I have in my family room.

If I can unload my pillows on her I will get these. Things are getting too matchy-matchy in the family room.

All in all, I like this plan.
