Paint-Color Persuasion

The process began when Jennifer's mom came to visit, and the pair spent a full day looking at fabrics, paint colors and furniture. Jennifer says the design followed the blue, orange, brown and white pillow fabric they found, but her mom says it started with her daughter's idea of painting the room a deep blue. "Pretty dramatic," she says. "She wanted to paint the trim blue, too, but I couldn't go that far. Now I wish I had." All in all, the transformation took about six months.
