Pink and Orange for a Girl's Bedroom

For my oldest daughter's tenth birthday, you'd think she'd want clothes from Justice or an iTunes gift card. Nope. She wanted to have her room repainted and get new bedding to make it less of a little girl's room and more of a tween room (I have cursed/gifted my girls with a love of decorating!). I kicked her out of her room for several weeks while I not only painted and added new bedding but surprised her with a new desk, fabric pinboard, lamp, and night stand. Some day I'll have to share the video we took of the big reveal - her reaction was priceless! My youngest daughter just turned nine but she's already started planning for her tenth birthday room redo.  She's cut all sorts of things out of catalogs but they are a mishmash of color and design so I suggested that she either find some bedding to use as a jumping off point or decide on a color scheme for us to work with.  I'm lobbying for pink and orange - I love this color combo and think they are colors that she wouldn't outgrow as she moves from tween to teen. My daughter isn't convinced.  She's thinking zebra stripes and sparkles. So this post is all about showing her how amazing the pink and orange color combo could be for a tween bedroom!
