Growing Stitches: Jade's room

Violet Twist

There was a bit of indecisiveness going 'round with what color to choose for Jade's room. Pink? The hubby said no. I was swayed toward soft blues for awhile. I was trying to match the color to my Dancing Stars quilt to be honest. I was looking at some fabric online (shocking) and found the color periwinkle. Showed it to the hubby and he agreed that a shade of purple would work! It is always a huge plus to have both parties in agreement. I went to Lowes and looked at some paint chips to find periwinkle. The one that they carried wasn't exactly the right shade I was envisioning. I grabbed some that were similar and brought them home.

Isn't it a breath of fresh air with a lingering scent of lilac perhaps. I. love. it. Just in case you couldn't tell that already---hehehehe Valspar Violet Twist I love you!!!!!!

I adore her room with all the light streaming in every morning and my nice,new comfy rocker/glider I bought for a steal from Craigslist. (See the Dancing Stars quilt??)

Originally, hubby was going to paint one wall and do a mural across it. The violet was going to clash with the other 3 tan walls so we had to nix that idea. I told him well since you are painting the whole room then let's skip the mural and do one in Ayden's room instead. He is 6 yrs old and will be able to appreciate it:):) I LOVE THIS MAN! He went ahead and did a quick butterfly sketch with flowers instead and surprised me!
