Purple Cheetah, Please

That is what she asked for as her room was nearing the point of color choice. We were still contemplating moving, so purple cheetah didn't make it on the walls. Instead a golden yellow color.

His a deep brown, hers a creamy white (because honoring her quest for purple cheetah please means no brown floor) and Expedition Khaki looks like two different colors.

Still on the list is some pesky touch-ups (may never happen, if we're being honest), and serious toy sorting (hopefully today's task). But for now quiet play time and bedtime is in her very own space. And incidentally, his.
