Girl's love color! Here are some easy tips that will add color and excitement to your big kids room and transform it into a space that she will love.

   Craft paint & brushes
   Flower stencils ( if your brave enough try it freehand.)
   
   How to:
   1. Pick 1 wall for flowers or do a border around the room.
   
   * For added color you can paint 1 wall a different color than the rest of the walls and add the flowers to that wall. (Ex. If the room is pink paint 1 wall a pastel green.)
   
   * If flowers are not your thing then try painting circles, squares or triangles on the wall. (for perfect shapes you can trace bowls, cake pans or any other items you can find around the house)then paint inside the shapes.
   Have fun!
