I love the border, and I generally don't like "kid's" decor.
So glad you have one less thing to worry about, Heather. That was really sweet of the HR person. I bet they'd really appreciate Thank You cards.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

That is a very nice border, Aimee. It's something she won't think is babish too quickly.

Make ya a deal? I won't berate myself for my weight anymore and you not berate yourself for missing school for actual sickness.
Ok. Deal. And I TOTALLY think you should order that border for Em.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Along with some pink beaded pillows? :)

Absolutely! Pink beaded pillows would be fabulous!
(and I keep imagining this in my roommate Em's room and laughing my head off)
(speaking of which...she's gone this weekend. Aimee! Quick! Order it! I can redecorate her room while she's gone! What a nice surprise for her!)

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
It's a great border and I don't see it as particularly juvenile. Of course, the border I have in my dining room is hot air balloons, so I may not be the best judge.

I like the first one better, Aimee.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
It's a very cute border, Aimee. (ETA--I like the first one better.)
Random room decor story from my childhood: When I was 6 or so, I was the only kid left at home, so they decided to move me from the small bedroom I'd had since infancy into a larger one once belonging to one of my brothers. Mom said I could pick the color of carpet, and I said "RED!" because it was eternally my favorite color.
I didn't get my way. She'd only "let" me pick because she was so sure I'd choose green, so I could pretend it was grass for my toy horses. Mind you, I still don't see what would've been so horrible about red carpet. They could've brought home a nice tasteful burgundy shade, and I wouldn't have complained.
