| We are in the middle of redoing my oldest daughters room and have the bedding (pottery barn Chloe Floral in Blue) but we are struggling to agree on a paint color for the walls. I want a color that she can grow with. Can anyone help with some ideas to make it a big girl room that will last many years? |

| Out of all those colors have her choose her 2favs and use them, one for a feature wall, the other for the rest. |

| With all that color going on, one'e eyes might enjoy an expanse of wall for the eye to rest... id choose the lightest color in the print (take a photo and BM has an app to tell you the closest color) |

| When you do decide, I'd take a pillow sham or the spread to have it color matched (sometimes photos are misleading). But I think one of the lighter colors for a wall and accent as suggested. What age group is your daughter now? |
|
| She is the in the tween age group. Everyday she wants a different color. :) |
|
| I think I'd go with the light green color, (the one on the left under a black flower) if it's something that you want to keep for a long time. But I tend to prefer muted colors, so my opinion may not be helpful. |

| I redid my 12 year old daughter's room using PBTeen's Peace Patchwork Quilt. I brought the sham into a BM store and the consultant suggested Hazy Blue. It looks as if your quilt has a similar blue. My friend, not knowing this, also chose "Hazy Blue" as an accent wall for her tween daughter's room with a different quilt. I would suggest taking the sham or quilt to a BM store , if possible, and see what the consultant suggests. Good luck and have fun! |
