Three posts in one day, I'm outta control!

I have been painting the girls' room, and so now I am all excited about decorating! The purple that Brooklyn picked is very pretty. I have to admit, when I first started cutting out the room I wondered if the purple would be too dark. Then Brooklyn came in and said, "Oh mom, its just so romantic!"

I asked her, "What's romantic?"
She replied, "This purple!"
Isn't she a nut? I knew then that it was the perfect purple.

For the girls' bedding, I have collected linens of all kinds. I'm kinda going for a mis-matched, but same family kind of look. I love floral prints, but I didn't want too much pink. (I know, some say you can never have too much pink :o) I found a pretty crib sheet from pottery barn kids some time ago:

I bought the crib sheet in blue. I really like this vintage inspired print, but I want to fade it. I found this article from Martha's website. I did buy two crib sheets (they were only like $12!) so I suppose there is room for error, but I know bleach is a tricky thing and I have never tried to fade a fabric before. I think I will try tomorrow, so wish me luck! Anyone with any fabric fading advice, send it my way!

I can't wait to post some "after" pictures!!!
