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.
