I can’t tell you how many requests I’ve had for a pink classroom theme, so I knew I had to deliver!

When I thought about this particular room, I knew that I should incorporate trendy patterns (chevron, polka dots, damask) AND the color gray.  Gray is so hot right now!  Target has even created gray  storage solutions in their Dollar Spot!  Woohoo!

I have to tell you, when I finished this room, it nearly took my breath away.  This Classroom Couture collection is the epitome of gorgeousness!

I wanted this room to have a vintage appeal, so over-the-top crystals, satin ribbon, barn wood, and weathered looking printable decor were in order!

AND…  you will see a chandelier in this room.

Yes…a chandelier.

 Do you think I’m crazy yet?!?

Let me explain…

When my son was entering the 8th grade, I walked into his science classroom on Parent Information Night.  In the center of his classroom, the teacher had a CHANDELIER hanging.  I was intrigued.  As I sat and listened to her presentation, I couldn’t stay focused.  I was so interested in the teacher’s choice of classroom décor. 

This particular teacher had curtains and lamps as well.  There was a soft, warm feeling to her classroom.  The room definitely reflected this teacher’s personality.  It appeared that his science teacher also enjoyed her job and took a great deal of time to create this environment.  

She won me over that night and my hunch was correct…she was a fantastic teacher and loved her students.

First impressions are SO important.

So, I don’t think chandeliers are too crazy.  If you love them and think they would make you feel good in your environment, then for heaven’s sake, add one to your room!

*My chandelier was from Kmart on clearance.  It was from the garden section of the store and meant for outside use.  I spray painted it white and added crystals for an inexpensive addition to this room!

I’m really excited to show you the rest of this room!  I hope you love it as much as I do!
