I love the Alphabet wall hanging, was that a DIY? If so, I'd love to know how you did it, and if not, I'd love the source! Cute room.

Hey all,
Thanks so much for all the wonderful feedback! We're so happy with how it's turned out, and all of your original comments really helped push us in our original Orange direction! The paint color is Benjamin Moore's "festive orange" in a pearl finish. The picture is fairly true to color, though it's closer to the color on the wall with the pictures than it is to the back wall- a nice deep orange. Clickchick & ChicagoNicole, you asked about the light fixture, it's actually an Ikea hack of sorts! First we took down that hideous and horrible fixture that was already there- ugh! Then we installed this ceiling pendant from Ikea: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90089408
but didn't attach the glass shade. Last we attached the 30" round paper lantern we'd gotten from World Market! Super easy and super cheap, but I think it really looks great. It gives the room a beautiful glow, especially in the evening.

Again, thanks so much for the comments!!

Carrie & Dwayne

Thanks for all the comments & advice everyone, I really appreciate it! I think I'm going to go forward with the orange! I'm going to check out Lowe's, Annmarie, for your Sweet Tomato suggestion, but I think I may end up going for a true orange. I really like the idea of horizontal stripes in alternating paint finishes, so I may try that as well! Thanks again, I'll let you know how it turns out...
