I have exactly the same story about tasteful-pink-but-really-white walls. I felt so cheated.
My bedroom is the most neglected room at our apartment, and I HATE that. I’ve been planning to make it pretty since we moved here but had plenty of excuses (money, faulty walls that will ruin the wallpaper I want, the works) but now I don’t care: it’s going to the top of the priority list.

Boo! Who wants to live it a half-finished space while you decide? I don’t get what your husband is saying. It’s not like you can’t take the stuff with you. Go make it pretty.

Oo. Pretty room. Also, is that your real name? Fantastic.

Have any of us NOT had a pink bedroom at one time in our lives? My last one was in college when I unfortunately chose a pepto-bismol color that has haunted me since.

But I currently live in a bedroom that’s only 1/4 decorated, if that. My husband doesn’t want to invest in anything decorative, since we might rent the place so we can move closer to Los Angeles. But that’s been an issue for more than a year. I’m tired of the badly sewn, homemade curtains that hang askew.

Any advice on what to do?

I’m not sure what my house is saying about me. I, too, have a me-only bedroom, but you could say I went the opposite of pink–black & white walls, bold stripes (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v39/splendade/35ec1886.jpg)–but it makes me happy every time I go in there, and I think that’s invaluable.

Also, huge fan of Victoria’s! So excited about this wonderful collaboration between two women I respect and admire so much!

I do believe our home is a metaphor for our lives. Mine is light and full of nooks and snuggle spots, but a tad disorganized. We have tons of books, art, and many other things that make us all happy. Dog bed by the electronic fire? Check. Three blankets to choose from to nap with? Check. Easily accessible art supplies? Check. The home really is where the heart is and should be treated as such.

I can’t wait to see pics of your perfectly pink room!

We moved when I was 3 or 4 years old. Along with having the foresight to claim the bedroom next to the bathroom (just like our old house) which ended up being the largest bedroom with four enormous windows; I also insisted on painting my bedroom pink. Ballet Pink on the walls and Candy Pink on the extensive woodwork. It changed as I grew, and though I sometimes mourn for space as a single gal to throw glitter all over, I have a tolerant partner who will (probably) let me do whatever I want in my office when we someday own a house.

In a nutshell: ROCK ON. (and throw some animal print in that room, too!)

I’m excited for you! It’s amazing the difference colour can make. I had wanted a dark purple wall in my house for the longest time – I finally got up the nerve and painted a wall blackberry wine (such a delicious colour!) a few months ago. It still makes me smile every time I see it!
Now I’m looking at my bedroom and thinking it needs a new colour and some changes made to it… You’ve inspired me to make it happen!
I can’t wait to see how your room comes together!!

A few months after my ex-fiancee moved out, I painted the bedroom and got all new linens, it made the room all mine again and I was finally able to get a good nights sleep after too many restless nights! It feels so good to reclaim your space.

I had a delicate pink room as a tot, now I’m way more vampy with all color choices!

My motto is “everything matches itself!”

DO IT! – And even if a new dude sleeps in there with an opinion you care about, hopefully his opinion of YOU is high enough that he’ll love your pink walls as an expression of the Mightiest.
