How do I dress up a simple shelf and a rod to hang clothes on?

Q. Our apartment is older and in two of the bedrooms (both of my kids, one boy and one girl) there are no closets, just a clothes hanging rod and a shelf above it. How could I dress it up so it looks a little more like a closet or atleast less like a clutter and more decorative? The rooms look cute until you look at that and it just looks half-you-know-what! The boys room is a jungle theme and he is a baby so has lots of stuff to store. The girls room is a princess theme and it's all in mostly pink.
By the way, I'm on a budget!
I can't paint, since we rent. I can't do anything that will be permanent.
It's one simple wooden shelf hung over one simple clothes rod.

A. standing folding room divider screens, they can hang posters on them or whatever they want and it would cover the clothes and is movable, you can make some out of some wood and hinges from a hardware store or try buying some on ebay

What ideas are good decor ideas for a teen girls bedroom?
Q. I am getting bored with my old bold green room, I am looking for a newer, cheap, and modern look.

A. A lot depends on what the girls like. Are they into sports or still in the girly look? It is always a good idea to have a place for makeup and desks for working so can you find a place to work them in? Might even have bunk beds to be able to get more floor space for desk. If you can do 2 desks so each girl has their own area, they can double as computer and homework place and also makeup spot. but each girl needs her own. Maybe even check out dorms and build it more like a college dorm. There they have 2 twin beds and then usually 2 desks, one for each and a closet each. That is about all that goes in a room. A book shelf or even a hutch over the desk is good to put keepsakes and books and supplies. You may be able to pick up desks and huth at a consignment store or a thrift store. I got mine there at the senior center thrift store. You might be able to let them share a printer if the desks are side by side or you have a wireless printer (wireless not in electric but in connection to computer. If girls are going to collee, as they near it you might consider a laptop for each. Some families like to keep the computer in a family area rather than bedrooms though because of the stuff on the internet and they can monitor them.

As to colors, you can keep walls neutral and decoraete using posters or prints. No more princess stuff for teens, but do include fluffy pillows for the beds. If there is space, separate rooms is nice for teir friends to visit.

You can even do a diagonal line across two opposing walls and paint one side one color and one use the diagonal lines to divide the colors and the colors extend for their side only. Then soften it with curtains that pick up both colors and also using posters or framed prints on the walls to break it up. Can do the same with neutral walls. There are also stencils you can put around the top of a room. I did some roses and purple star flwoers with green leaves and it was like an arbor almost and the kids called the room the rose room or the princess room as they felt like princesses in there. But walls were white. I had spreads with big red peonies that almost looked like roses and it had purple star flowers and green leaves so the roses which were very full, looked almost like the spreads and I used red and purple and green in the room. The carpet was even white and I used wool oriental rugs by the bed and a stained glass lamp shade with roses and a Grecian girl brass base. Had to call it the rose room when any of the fewer boys ame to stay. Or let the girls stay there and the boys could stay on sofa or in the big blue big chairwith ottoman. Unfortunaately we have downsized now and don't have all the space we did then as we went to a small cottage and a mobile home. But you might find a stencil the girls like and put it on the walls, either in random patterns or as a border at the top or even dropped down a bit as mine was. I did the stencils around and then did just the roses and no star flowers about every 3rd one above it as it needed soemthing else. I hope I have photos someplace. I haven't caught up with photos since they went into storage.

Good luck in finding something lovely and feminine and yet very practical for the girls.


What are some good party games for 3-4 year olds?
Q. My daughter is turning 4 and I want a few games for her party where the kids can win prizes. But it has to be simple enough so the kids don't get frustrated or distracted.
I'm thinking pin the tail on the donkey and candyland. Any other suggestions? It's a princess party. Nothing messy because all the girls are gonna be wearing pretty dresses.

A. For my daughters 4th birthday we had a princess party. all the girls dressed in there princess dresses the pictures were amazing great minds think alike ;) I made cupcakes and tinted frosting and put different candy types in bowls and let the kids decorate there own cupcakes! THEY LOVED IT! you could even give prizes for different types of cupcakes... ie... cupcake with the most sprinkles, cupcake with the most mnm's ect... till all the kids have won a prize. I know what you might be thinking what a mess but it really wasn't a big mess at all. parents help. also set up a karaoke machine.... kids love nothing more than to be able to feel like the center of attention. use your computer and find fun kid friendly songs and let them sing along. another fun idea is to follow the dora theme and let them go on a treasure hunt and hide things throughout the house and have them look at a map and they can go to the bathroom say... and in the bathtub they might have to drain it and put aside the toys before they can go to the bedroom and in the bedroom they might have to pull pinata strings before they can get to the dinning room to decorate the cakes ect... you get the point. have fun with it!!
