Girl's Bedroom Inspiration~

Whenever I have a new space to decorate, I obsess over it.  And when I say obsess, I reallllllly mean it.  So you can just imagine how my thoughts are spinning in circles at the prospect of decorating a new house.  It's exciting and anxiety inducing all at the same time.  My problem really lies in the fact that I like so many different styles of decor that narrowing my options down can be quite a challenge. 

Right now, I am thinking about my daughter's bedroom.  And my biggest challenge is the color scheme.  This is what her current bedroom looked like when I first decorated it. 

And then, because I'm an obsessive tweaker, this is what the bed looks like right now.  I like the addition of the brown because I think it keeps the color scheme grounded, and makes it a bit more sophisticated.

I do really like it. But you see, I had to work around the existing citrus green walls.  They aren't my favorite color.  And since we currently live in a rental house, I wasn't allowed to repaint them.  They gave me a starting point for a color scheme, however, and I'm happy with what I came up with.

But since we will be allowed to paint in our new rental home, my options are endless.  Too. Many. Choices.  Recently though, I have been drawn to these rooms by Restoration Hardware Baby & Child.  At the heart of it, I just really love neutrals..and these rooms do neutrals so beautifully (with just a hint of soft color) that I am absolute smitten.

What do you think?  Do you like lots of color for a child's room...or could you go with neutrals?  Oh, the possiblities!

EDITED TO ADD:  My dear readers, I think I gave the wrong impression with this post.  I realize that decorating my children's rooms is not about my favorite things.  That's why once my children are old enough to truly give me their input, I involve them wholeheartedly in the design process.   The princess and I have been having numerous discussions about her ideal room and her favorite colors, and ultimately, her choices will be my starting point.  But I do obsess over the rooms in my house, and the kids rooms are no exception.  That's why we work together.  It's more fun that way too!   THANKS!
