Kate's new Purple Bedroom is finished!

We painted it on New Year's Eve & her new bedding that arrived this week.
Her bedroom re-do is an early birthday present from my mother in law.
Today we set up her new bedding & accessories and surprised Kate when she came home from Grandma's.
Come on in & have a look around!
But first.......Here is the BEFORE:
And, here is the AFTER:

I'm not going to lie....It was hard to paint it purple.
I am NOT a purple fan. AT ALL.
BUT.
This is Kate' room and she has been asking for a purple room for the past 8 months.
For being a purple room, I do think it turned out cute & Kate LOVES it.
Oh yeah, and now Claire wants a purple room. NOT going to happen!
Claire's room is pink (my favorite color) and it will stay pink for at least 10 years :)

We ordered her bedding {HERE}.

At first, we weren't going to get her new bedding, but her old bedding didn't match her room anymore & my mother in law offered to get her bedding as part of her birthday present.
I LOVE Kate's old bedding so much & it matches Claire's room perfectly, so when Claire moves to a big girl bed I will use Kate's old bedding.

These lamp shades were on clearance at Pottery Barn Kids for $10. Score!

Here is the new night light she got for Christmas & a close up of the new baseboards Kevin put in when we painted the room:

This afternoon when I put Claire down for a nap, I heard Kate talking in her room.
This is what I saw:

She had her toy camera out & was taking pictures of her new room. She was telling her bed to say "cheese"

I am so happy she loves her new room.

Knowing she loves it so much makes it easier for me to accept that I have a purple room in my house :)
