If you’ve known me for 5 minutes or longer you will know that I don’t like pink. I am the youngest of 4, all boys proceeding me, so the family was pretty excited when a girl finally came along, drowning me in pink. Finally at about 12 I said no more pink and I haven’t looked back. So there was no question my daughter’s room would not be pink.
I wanted to create something peaceful and modern using mint, gold and a touch of coral. {please forgive these iphone photos. I had hope to take some better pictures, but it’s just not happening!}![10854864_10152449123636216_9018783072522979469_o](http://eventlucky.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/10854864_10152449123636216_9018783072522979469_o-768x1024.jpg)
I ordered the fabric from spoonflower and got it made into a cushion, some bedsheets, pillows and a changing pad cover. I applied the decals on the wall over 2 weekends– it really didn’t take too long, and I’m hoping it comes off easily when we move.

We added a bar to the shelf to create some hanging options {and who doesn’t like to look at cute baby clothes?}. That cute picture on the dresser is her daddy when he was a baby. His mom sent this, along with his childhood bunny. ![10900068_10152467660051216_1563751980564133319_o](http://eventlucky.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/10900068_10152467660051216_1563751980564133319_o-768x1024.jpg)
I love this quote from Kate Spade– I can only hope that she will embody these qualities! I couldn’t find it in print any longer, so I ended up making this. I cut out the letters with my Silhouette, painted them gold, adhered them to painted cardstock, and framed it.

Our little girl was due right around Chinese New Year (a big deal here in Hong Kong) – although she ended up being a bit late. This year on the Chinese zodiac is year of the sheep {or goat, or ram, depending on how you translate it} so when I saw this big fluffy stuffed animal I couldn’t help but get it for my little sheep. The turtle and the rabbit were given by friends.
She’s still sleeping in a bassinet in our room, but I’m hoping she loves the room as much as we do when she moves in.
