Ok this is quickly becoming a nightmare. We live in an old (built 1900) Victorian. I hate Victorians and will never buy another one. It looks gorgeous from the outside, but inside it is lots of rooms all closed off from one another.
It doesn't "flow".

Downstairs there is a kitchen, a room that kids play video games in (I don't know what to call it, lol!), a dining room, a family room (where the tv is, etc.), and a formal living room.

The second floor is similar to the first, and it used to be a 2 family. (My aunt lives on the third floor.) There are 3 bedrooms and half bedroom, and an oddly shaped, large kitchen. The kitchen is what we are making over into our DD's room, because of the size, and because we don't use it as a kitchen. We took the fridge out long ago, and I just had our contractor box in the stove, counters, and stove/oven so they are hidden behind wood. (I might want to make it a 2 family again in the future, so I didn't want to rip everything out.)

Here is the problem. My DD cannot decide on a color scheme. I let her pick out her comforter set first to establish the colors, and it has pink, white, and a tiny bit of black. She was going to have the walls painted a very light pink, and then have a pink wall to wall carpet installed.

Today she announces she hates pink, it is her worst color. ARGGHH!!!

I told her to make sure what she wants, because a comforter is a small mistake, but there is no going back once the walls are painted and the rug is in.

How can I let her see views of different furnished bedrooms so she can see what different color schemes look like?

have her pick a color and google "[color] rooms"?

Or go to the grocery store and get some home living-type magazines

OR get the JCPenny's catalog and flip through the bedroom sections.

take her to Home Depot or Lowes. They have all kinds of colors and accents that match and compliment eachother. If she has a color of a stuffed toy or something that she likes you can scan it and get shades that will match. It's really neat.
