As soon as a home of our own became a closer reality, I have been brainstorming paint colors, themes, and all kinds of kooky accessories.  The bottom line is that Charlie&#8217;s BGR is where she will, as a preschooler, kindergartner, etc., dream all of her big dreams.  It will be her room until she&#8217;s a teenager and has her own opinion about decor&#8230;which better not happen before she hits puberty (ha!).  I want it to be a festival of colors, textures, and pure fun. <\/p>\n<p>I admit it, it&#8217;s pretty fun for me, too.  The worry is that I&#8217;ll get attached to something and then change my mind when the BGR is a <em>tomorrow<\/em> reality.  So, in order to keep things fresh, I am making a list of my must-have&#8217;s:<\/p>\n<p>1.  Super-colorful bedding<br \/>2.  A jewelbox chandelier<br \/>3.  A shaggy rug<br \/>4.  Blue and pink walls separated with a white chair rail (blue on top, pink on bottom)<br \/>5.  An ornate but antiquey mirror I can spray paint a kooky color<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it so far.  I&#8217;ve been thinking about this bedding now for a little while, and it might be time to pull the trigger.  It really is&#8230;just perfect.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_EzNMDgf7WQE\/SjgEM9-hxTI\/AAAAAAAADLw\/Bec33VqUODI\/s1600-h\/atw_main_big.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348029178344228146\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 296px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/almostjuliet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/atw_main_big.jpg?w=628&#038;ssl=1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everybody knows I have been dreaming about Charlie&#8217;s &#8220;Big Girl Room&#8221; for months now.
