This is my FIRST TIME helping design another person’s space, so I’d really appreciate you guys voting on some of the decisions 😅 First one: should we paint orange on the top half of the room?

We used in Fleecy Dreams and Peach Rose!

Ngl, I was a little nervous when we had just the light green and pink painted. It was looking like a kids room 😂

Thankfully the darker green balanced it out, and now I’m totally in love ❤️

What are your thoughts on home and DIY channels bringing in professionals? While I love when people take initiative and learn how to do new things themselves, I definitely want certain jobs done by someone experienced.
