Uh-Oh's {HELP?}

First, thank you for praying for Sienna. She is improving and there is an update on the travel site. They are requesting an expedited visa so they can come home earlier and get Sienna to a doctor here. That is what we are praying for now.

Okay, now to the uh-ohs. Yesterday, Dave was painting Kate's room (another uh-oh) so she was taking a "nap" in our room. Or so we thought....She decided to go into our bathroom and 'brush her teeth" with Dave's RAZOR!

There was blood all over her hands and mouth and she would not tell us how she got that way or what happened. There were some VERY scary moments. She was afraid to tell us what happened but we thought maybe she got into some medicine. She has a few cuts on her tongue but is fine otherwise.

I also had to cancel my little Oscar get together because Kate had the pukes. I thought she had a stomach bug but now I think it was just a bad cupcake. I knew it was bad when she told me she does not want cupcakes at her birthday party! Cupcakes are (were) her favorite food!

Now onto a BIG uh-oh (sorry this will be long). When we moved into this house, I did nothing to Kate's room, She had old guest bed linens for her big girl bed. We kept the walls gray. I knew eventually I wanted to do this stencil like I did in her room in Virginia.

(in VA)

So, I had looked at a lot of bedding options and was going to have some made using the gorgeous fun and vibrant Sis Boom fabrics. But then I came across this image (ignore the numbers) and I loved it.

I decided to order this Pine Cone Hill bedding. I was planning on mixing it up with a pink striped dust ruffle and some linen shams. It is really nice, well priced and feminine.

I ordered it before Lent and a few pieces arrived last week. I was so excited that I washed them immediately and put them on Kate's bed. Let's just say it does NOT look good with the pretty gray paint AT ALL!

There is nothing over her bed because it is my hope to have one of these "bed crowns" with white panels....

Keep in mind the dust ruffle and shams still are not in. Since I washed them, I could not return the duvet and shams. So, I had two options...I could paint the room (pale pink was Kate's suggestion) OR I could try to sell or donate this and order the pink duvet....

So, we tried painting the room pink this weekend and I DESPISE it.

It is dark and rainy today (so the photos are dark and gloomy too)

Please ignore my ironing in the hallway...you should see the pile of laundry right next to it!!!
I know this pink does not look it...but it is SUPER pale on the card and in the can. I used it in Kate's bathroom in VA and loved it there (after trying 17 shades of pink).

SO now...we are back to square one. Do we continue with the pink paint (hoping the white stencil will tone it down)? We can go back to the gray and order the pink bedding. Luckily, it is not expensive. I am SO confused. I must admit. I am usually very confident and happy with my decorating choices but I cannot seem to get this right. Advice, please? Does anyone know of the palest pretty pink paint out there?

As an aside, I LOVED the Oscars last night!!! The hosts were great. I usually miss so much when I am hosting my party. My neighbor and good friend Lisa came over at the last minute and we ate popcorn, sno-caps and watched the show. I think Demi Moore looked gorgeous and so did Sandra Bullock!
