Me: I’ll just build this IKEA closet Also me: fi Me: I’ll just build this IKEA closet
Also me: fine I’d better just paint the room while I’m at it too

I vetoed the very bright hot pink because I knew she wouldn’t actually like it fully covering her walls and it would be so overstimulating 😅 but we landed on the prettiest muted but also moody pink that still gives her the dark bold vibe she wanted and I think it’s going to be amazing but phew what a change. That first coat always is rough but we’re trusting the process!
