Q. Currently the walls of my kids bedrooms are painted light blue and green. I need to change their bedroom cause they are bored of the same look for the past five years. I plan to put lemon yellow with grey. But I need info on how to remove the blue and green first. Please help as I plan to do the paint job myself.
The walls are painted and not wall papered
A. are the walls papered?
you can get a steamer and scrape the walls and paper using lining paper
and then paint
if i were you, if the paper is i tact i would paint the whole lot white
2 coats
and then do your lemon & grey on top
quicker, easier and cheaper
Old kid show about three monsters that live in a kids bedroom?

The second was green and lived in the closet. The third was blue and lived under the bed. Any idea? Also they where people in costume.
A. HR puff n stuff? :)
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 would be your dream kids and family?

A. My house would be something small, but cosy. There would be enough room for me, my husband, the kids and pets. 4 bedrooms, big garden, double garage and en-suite bathrooms.

I would marry my husband in a small reception, with not many people. We would marry in a hotel, as neither of us are religious. There will only be a few close friends and family as guests, and we wouldn't have an evening reception.
My dress would be white with small detailing around the waist and chest area.

My husband would be a caring and compassionate guy that would always be there for the kids and me. He would have a job as a manager in large business, something involving computers and electronics.
My job would be a detective for the county's police station.
I would have 4 children, 3 boys and a girl.
My first born would be a son, named Oliver Samuel. He looks like his mum, and has her brown hair and blue eyes. He has an analytical mind and loves solving problems.
