Remember when we were renovating the studio and you readers picked everything from the curtains to the paint colors!? That was such a cool experience and experiment on our end.  A little nerve-wrecking (cue nervous laughter), but mostly a lot of fun.  And really, you did an amazing job! When we talked about our plans to embark on and makeover Greta’s closet yesterday, one reader suggested we paint the interior a fun color like our inspiration photos.  We are definitely on board for that idea, but want you to be a part of the selection process. Fun!?  We narrowed down our top picks for you and whipped up a poll for you to easily vote for your favorite. May the best hue win. Your choices are:

I want to see the closet painted…

    Ahem. Since pink only got a plurality, not a majority, doesn’t it follow to have a runoff between pink and mint green? #carestoomuch

    ayyy a bold pink for a girls room is just too expected! Golden yellow for the win!

  3. Nicole says:

    I’m all for pink since the rest of the room is a lighter tone. Every girl should have a bright closet! So fun!!!

  4. Kim says:

    I pinked pink because if I was decorating a room for my daughters that’s what they would have pick at Greta’s age.

    But really as much fun as it is voting for your color choice, I think you should give the options to Greta and let her pick. It’s her room after all!

    Special snowflake….remove the doors! I voted pink though…

    ps. When I first saw this post the colors & circles looked so familiar…then I realized it looks like the cover of this book I’m reading http://www.amazon.com/Dare-Dream-Do-Remarkable-Things/dp/1937134121 hahaha

    Yay for reader’s choice! Pink would definitely be fun but I voted for the minty green…it’s beautiful!!! And I think it would work perfectly with the existing wallpaper/butterflies(I LOVE those by the way!)/and paint color.

  8. I like the idea of pink in the closet because the room already has yellow. The pop will be unexpected! We love pink in this house! Can’t wait to see how this closet comes together. What a dream.

  9. I voted for bold pink because every girl should have a pink closet but that’s not to say that I fully support minty green. We were going to paint my daughters room a pretty/relaxing minty green color but I got scared and decided on a taupe. I didn’t buy the paint yet so my mind may change again.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
