I need some decorating tips for a kids bedroom?
Q. We are moving into an apartment and my kids will be sharing a room. They are a four year old boy and a two year old girl. I need some decoration ideas for their bedroom that I can do in an apartment. I know I can't paint or nail too much stuff to the walls.
A. Use solid colored bed spreads or comforters that will compliment each other but are boy/girl colors ...
Get some stackable Organizer shelves & cubby for books, toys, etc.
and use colored fabric lined baskets or boy/girl colored crates @ Michaels Crafts or JoAnns to store the small stuff...
Put easel backed pictures on top of the shelf/cubby units for added color.

What are original ideas for decorating a teenage girl's bedroom?
Q. I'm a 13 year old girl interested in art and music and I need to redecorate my room. It is all pink and little-kid-ish and I'm sick of it. I have a friend who put Christmas lights around the top of her room and I was kind of going for that original style. Any ideas?
A. Hello There,
We all like a nice peaceful retreat and definitely our bedroom is one of those places. I have a 13 year old and we redid her room when she was 12 (last year).
1. We painted her room with silver blue and white (Behr satin finish). Two walls blue, two walls white.
2. We then chose two paintings (from Marshalls) One was a blue hues ocean scene with waves with a white finish frame and the other was a blue painted frame of teenagers playing in the water by the ocean side. It has more light to it. We placed that on the blue wall. We also added a silver oval framed mirror and and rectangular family picture collage frame.
If you really want a string of lights you can hang it along the window.
3. Her bedding is a mixture of different shades of blue, yellow and fuchcia. It is a very peaceful room..
4.We also put a small microwave kitchen cart in her room where she has a terrarium with seashells sitting on top of it. The shelves hold her school supplies. . You can find this at the resource below.
I wish I could show you a picture but it is truly a retreat for her.
This is not an expensive makeover. Follow what we did and choose your own colors. Walmart, Target and Marshalls are all great stores.Discuss it with your parents and
email me if you have any questions.
Happy decorating,
Romona

How do I make an apartment feel like home?
Q. White walls. Tan carpet.... HOW THE HECK do you make it look pretty? Pleeeease. Anything will help! thanks!
A. In my bedroom I stick with a sage green color and off white (the lightest beige color). Because you probably don't want to go through the trouble of repainting the walls, I would hang up paintings in similar colors using those plastic hooks that you can stick to the walls instead of nails. All of the stuff that I bought was from Target, cute but reasonable price. As for the living room I went with dark red drapes and white see through panels with decorations of red roses on them. Those panels were purchased at Ikea in the kids department so they were less expensive! Any accents in the room were black, like the drapery rod for example. Wrought iron look. A nice plain bookshelf also purchased from Ikea with all my books, photos in frames, candles, etc. on the shelves. A dark red runner on the coffee table. A plain white sofa with a colored throw... there are so many possiblilites! Color is the trick when everything else is plain. Ikea and Target are the best places to find cute stuff. Good luck!
Desperate for storage or tips to make more room in a tiny space?
Q. I have 5 kids in one room........yep 5 in one room! We are trying to change our basement into 2 rooms but for now I need to figure out how to have all their stuff in there and not be all over the floor. I have bought the under the bed storage containers and the closet is stuffed. Any advice you can give would be helpful.
A. Go Vertical: Consider tall furniture rather than wide to preserve precious floor space.
Use Your Walls: Add a shelf or rack to display a favorite collection or for hanging hats, ties and scarves.
Stash It in Style: Today's occasional tables offer plenty of storage with drawers, shelves and cubbies plus glass-topped display space for collectibles.
Stack 'em: Stackable and folding chairs are excellent ways to keep a supply of seating for a dinner party, holiday gatherings or drop-in guests.
Sweet Dreams: Sleep better knowing that you've taken advantage of the valuable space under the bed�in style. Use decorative boxes and storage bins to stow out-of-season clothing, wrapping paper, sporting goods or anything else.
Retractable Doors: When shopping for an armoire or entertainment center, look for ones with retractable doors to provide more space when the doors are open.
Try the Kids' Department: Youth furniture is designed to fit into smaller rooms but also accommodates adults just fine. Have a small guest bedroom or a little alcove office? A child's dresser or desk might be the perfect fit.
Rollin', Rollin', Rollin': Many pieces of furniture have wheels�whether it is a sofa, a coffee table, a storage shelf, kitchen table or an ottoman. Enjoy extra mobility and function with a wheeled piece of furniture that is fashionable and practical.
Don't Leaf It Out: If a full-size dining room table is just too big for the dining area, ask your retailer about one with removable leaves.
Accent It: A mirror is always a nice accent to any room, but especially a small one. Mirrors add light and depth when space is limited. And the right accessories will highlight one's personal style and enhance the intimacy of a small space.
If you're looking for a cozy, intimate space, you're in luck. By using soft, snuggly upholstered pieces, dark, warm tones, and dramatic lighting, your tiny corner can become a wonderful private space.
Clear Out the Clutter
There's nothing that makes a small space feel cramped more than having too much stuff.
Small Space Design
Work out ways to get collections out of view, organized behind doors, table skirts, or on shelves. With things neatly arranged and out of sight, the space that is in view will feel orderly and open.
Open the Way
With furniture and accessories blocking the view into a room and out to open spaces, a room will look cramped. By moving furniture out and away from walkways, you'll open up the space and make it feel larger. You can also choose short pieces of furniture like an ottoman, an armless, open chair, or a low table, and place large, tall pieces along a wall rather than out in the open space. If you can see the floor, the room will look larger.
Chooser Soft, Light Hues
Whereas dark, warm colors make a space feel cozy and intimate, light, cool colors make a space feel open and airy. For optimum effect, select soft tones of blues and greens.
Use a Monochromatic Color Scheme
Choose colors that are in the same color family and use tone-on-tone woven upholstery fabrics, textured wall finishes, delicate tonal drapery fabrics. Cool colors and delicate warm colors on most surfaces give the room a more open look.
Coordinate Wall and Furniture Colors
Contrasting colors tend to break up a space. Pieces of furniture are less interrupting and tend to blend with the space if they're colored to match the wall color.
Let in the Light
Any room will look larger if it's well-lit, either by natural light or artificial lighting. Get rid of heavy draperies and open up the windows to let the light of the outdoors into the space. Add more lamps or install track lighting or recessed lighting.
