BEFORE – The room was very simple…the color scheme was white and a very very very pale purple/lavender feature wall
AFTER – This is the room I designed with off white walls, a pink ceiling and a COCOCOZY Tower Court rug!
The first step was truly picking the right color. The mom, SN, and oldest daughter C were very specific about using a “sophisticated” pink on the walls. I am not a pink person but I went to the BEHR® Paint website and created my own custom color palette for this room makeover that ranged from white, to pink to blues. I used their Paint Your Place Color Tool to see what the colors would look like in a room.
I knew I did not want to paint the walls pink because I did not want the room to look too saturated and too young. In my mind, I associate an all pink room with a baby or very very young girl. With two growing girls as the room owners, I felt that we needed to subtly incorporate the pink without over doing it.
I pitched SN and the girls on painting the ceiling pink and the walls an off white for a modern color block effect for the room. Using the feature color on the ceiling instead of on a feature wall allowed me to incorporate the desired pink as a subtle accent.
BEHR® Premium Plus Ultra® Colors:
Cupcake Pink – Ceiling
Velvet Rope – Accessories
Original White – Walls
BEFORE – The room was cute but lacked a personality. My two young princess clients are filled with personality so I had to give them a room to match.
DURING – This is the room during the makeover, all the furniture out and ready for the walls AND ceiling to painted!
AFTER – We added new bedding, cute wall accessories, and COCOCOZY Kip Pillows on the twin beds.
We added white ceramic wall art over each twin bed as a fresh neutral design touch.
BEHR® Premium Plus Ultra® Paints – We used a matte finish on the walls and ceilings.
Wood laser cut storage bins were painted Velvet Rope blue. We gave each girl their own little storage for books, clothing, games, electronics or even toys.
One of the areas in the room I am most proud of is this little reading area where we stenciled a COCOCOZY textile pattern I designed directly onto the wall! The contrast is so subtle but it is a great alternate to using wallpaper.
BEFORE – Across the twin beds, there is a little study desk nook in the room.
Stenciling COCOCOZY Fence pattern on the walls in pink.
Was so exciting to see the first bit of stencil of this classic COCOCOZY Fence pattern I designed going up on the wall. It was the first time I have ever taken one of my designs, had it made into a stencil and then used it on a project! Love the end result.
There’s a very happy me after styling the room and adding the finishing touches. Almost makes me want to be 12 again, so I could have a room like this!
Was so thrilled to hear that after all of the decorating, the girls were thrilled with their space! I love the end result. Made me very happy to give them this space. Thanks to SN, BN and the girls for letting me makeover their room! Thanks also to my COCOCOZY team, design assistants AC and IS, for helping out!
Onto the next design adventure…
Happy Saturday!

In contrast to where I slept as a young girl, that room is a dream. I would have loved to have a bright and airy room to call my own instead of drab dark carpets and drapes to match. I guess it’s because I was born in the 70’s. I think everyone’s room was like mine!
