Wisteria

Before picture from the doorBefore picture from the other side of the room

This weekend, two of my bestest buds (Jill and Lauren P (and Merritt in spirit)) came over for a sleepover and VOLUNTEERED to help paint Kiran's room.
We did one coat of Wisteria with a few touch ups. We finished in 1.5 hours. Then we sat down to some Edy's Loaded Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream and Grey's Anatomy.

Jonathan & I put together the crib that we generously passed on to us. But because of some complications, the mattress is too high so Kiran would flip out of it in 0.6 seconds flat. So we're debating
1) breaking the entire thing down and drilling new holes
2) moving Kiran into a toddler bed
3) letting her sleep in her pack-n-play until she's 12

I love the color and I really loved the help. THANK YOU GIRLS! It looks great but I still have so much more I want to do in her room before I consider it done. I need to hang the letters of her name (thanks brenna & geoff), hang the photo thing, set up all her bedding/room stuff (which I found at an awesome consignment shop- I really need to blog about that), find a white dresser or sand & paint the brown one, find a white glider, buy window treatments and put up, find a bookshelf, get storage bins/baskets, etc. So its a work in progress but at least its a purple work in progress.

I LOVE lavender. Love love love it. If I could paint Hazel's room, that's what I'd paint it. I'm already trying to decorate her crib with lavender. I love the paint in Kiran's room! Shabaash! :)

That paint color reminds me of India :) It's supposed to be an auspicious color, so people try to paint at least one room of their house that color :) So the color is called Wisteria? We always had wisteria in our yard growing up and it's green :) I was looking for a green wall :) haha! OK, now I'm just rambling :) it looks great!

kel - I don't think it matters if you have some white furniture and some wood-finish. It's eclectic, right? And I promise Kiran doesn't mind! :)
