I have horrible panneling in my room. I guess I could use wallpaper and not pain. I was thinking maybe and ocean themed room or a night club. If you have any ideas like themes, carpet, wallpaper or furniture suggestion, please help me!!!
Thanks! Hawaian seems so freaking awesome!

I would love to have a room with ugly paneling in it because then I could paint it. Painted paneling is so charming that you will see lots of furniture ads with painted paneling as the background -- look at how many Pottery Barn pictures have it.

You have great decorating instinct to envision a beach theme with painted paneling. The easiest way to decorate a fabulous looking room is to start with an inspiration picture. Here are some links with several hundred gorgeous decorating pictures. Save the ones you like best to your computer, then you and your mom can narrow it down to your favorite one or two pictures for color scheme and other ideas. Try to imagine yourself in the room you see in the photo. Do you feel too hot in there in summer? Too cold in there in winter? When you're sad does the room cheer you up? Does the room make you feel high energy, or relaxed and sleepy?

This link is cottage decor, and it has bedrooms and other rooms (pics are after you scroll down a little). It has lots of painted paneling walls, very pretty feminine bedrooms, some cool antique touches, and some darling beach-themed rooms as well. This link has lots of decorating ideas you can do for not much money.

This link has some little kid bedrooms, some teen bedrooms, and some lovely guest bedrooms -- basically, anything with twin beds in it:

I'm pretty sure you're going to get some very good ideas in there and end up with a really pretty room you love. Have fun and happy decorating!

Is it warm enough to wear bathing suits on Oregon beach in July?

We are planning a trip to Oregon in July. We are concerned that it may be too cold to enjoy the beach. We will stay in Cannon Beach or Seaside. We have small kids 4 and 7.
We would like lodging ideas for something on the beach- yet reasonable if possible

Answer
I've spent a lot of time at Seaside. It is an awesome place to take your family! You'll enjoy the shopping and restraunts as well as the aquarium.

I think you have a little bit of a delusion about the 'beach' there. It is very rarely warm enough to wear a bathing suit at the coast. BUT, you don't have to be in your bathing suit to enjoy the sights and the ocean. There are many very awesome views and hikes, there are lighthouses and lots and lots of treasures to find.

I'm jealous, I wish I could go! : ) Enjoy your trip!! Also, take a look at Netart (spelling?) Bay.... we found a cool little hotel there that had a kitchen and two bedrooms. It wasn't the fanciest place, but it was affordable, and clean, and perfect for our family.
