"Blushing Beauty" New Room Design

Recently we created a new design board for a client in San Antonio.  Our client wanted to update her daughter's  room from a baby's room to a "big" girls' room. Her daughter was outgrowing the crib and needed a new bed fast.    The Mom  wanted a fun mix of modern elements , and her daughter requested a touch of elephants in the room. 
I decided on creating a room that was a bit modern, yet glam with touches of gold , whimsical with elephant fun & classic with soft pinks and whites.
Christin and I worked on two design boards , the first one is shown above.   We created both boards using a  great wallpaper from Hygge & West called "Oh Joy's Petal Pusher " in a metallic gold. The wallpaper is a very bold pattern, and therefore our plan is to use it only on one accent wall and then paint all the other walls a solid calm color.
Here's the visual on a larger swatch:

And here's the 2nd design board we created using different elements but again with the same paper as the focal wall:

Our client wanted to keep the room trim and existing plantation shutters painted in Pittsburgh paints Stony Creek. 

So today I'm working on which wall color is best for the other walls (just one wall gets the wallpaper) .  The color has to look right with  the Stony Creek trim.
 Our wall paint choices to present are :
Benjamin Moore Decorators White:

 Benjamin Moore Pink Cadillac:
( a pale quintessential pink)

Benjamin Moore's Love & Happiness:
(a soft pink with undertones of beige & coral)

Or another option is to use the palest of blues to compliment the turquoise accents in the room:
Benjamin Moore's Sweet Dreams

I always recommend  clients to have their painter paint several swatches on a wall , approx 24" x 24" in a room.  Paint the swatches on different areas within the room to test out the lighting.  All paints take on different values in a room depending on how much light is in the room as well as what colors are in the room.  Believe me, it's worth every penny to try samples first.  Use any leftover paint on another project or donate to a local charity.

Do you have a favorite choice for the girls room?  Let me know, would love your thoughts!
