Can you help with Unisex bedroom ideas?

Q. My children will be sharing a bedroom. My son is 6, and my daughter will be 3 this month. Does anyone have any design ideas that will make them both feel at home? I'm a single mom, so budget is a big factor to consider. Thanks for your help!

A. Rubber duckies are always cute. My sister's kids' bathroom had a whole makeover just by adding a new shower curtain, toothbrush holder, rug, and framed photo all of rubber duckies. I think she got the stuff at WalMart. I love it for a kids' bathroom.

EDIT: I'm so sorry I misread that and thought it said bathroom.
A cute unisex idea for a bedroom is a jungle theme or even just using coordinating colors on the bedding. A red, white, and blue patriotic theme would be really cute, and easy too. One could have a navy blue comforter and the other could have a red comforter with white sheets. Then you can find all kinds of stars and stripes stuff cheap at thrift stores and again, at WalMart/Kmart/TJ Maxx - whatever you have near you. Good luck!


how can i combine a girls room with a toddler bed dora theme and a teenage theme too, without it looking crazy
Q. I want each child to have their own space with their own look, but i don't want the younger kids side to be too childish for the older kid. May I add that it is a smaller size room too.

A. wild jungle
zebra stripes with pink and black
and dora with pink and other colors
browse these sites and combine the 2 themes together

How would you SHOW this instead of TELL it?
Q. I'm trying to say how my bedroom is really small. But we have to like..show it instead of tell it. How would u do that? can u give me some examples? like..the only one i can come up with is "my room is 2 times the size of a jail cell" which isn't really that good so can u help me?

A. "When you first walk into my room, you might feel like you are walking into a jail cell. The ceiling is low, like a kids' jungle gym. When I lie in my miniature bed, I can never think about anything but the mere size of the space I am forced to call 'my room.'"

Something like that. =)


Have you ever lived in a place you never wanted to live in and always hoped you'd get out of?
Q. 1. Did you end up getting out of it?

2. How much did you hate it?

It would help if you told me what you hated about the place too. Anyways, go on and tell me your story.

A. 1. I lived in HUD housing with my mom. My siblings and I were lucky to have a mother that worked hard to find a safe place for us to grow up. My siblings are much older and moved out when I was 15, so the management told us that we had to move into a smaller apartment complex in the rough side of the neighborhood, without a storage and was left in a dirty state (even though they say they cleaned it). They even hinted that although we have a choice of a first floor apt, we're safer on the second floor.

We spent the first week cleaning it and we put our stuff in some storage unit down the street (which we lost because mom was depressed and forgot to pay on time). We had to deal with the management sending warnings every week (even though we followed the rules), coming to inspect apts every few months, our broken down truck getting broken into, crazy people screaming bloody murder through the night, some guy beating his girlfriend right below my bedroom, mothers cursing out their kids, kids playing in the hallways and buzzing our doorbell, police cars and fire trucks coming once a week, gangs of teens walking around and destroying the one little jungle gym they built for the kids, loud music at all times, and a teen setting ablaze his grandmother's apt that was connected to our apt (she's now in an old folks home). Oh, and not to mention that there were rules on guests staying overnight and as big as the parking lot was, no one without a permit was allowed to park there after 6pm.

Where we lived before this was like night and day, even if only a couple of blocks away. People knew each other and watched everyone's kids, the place was cleaner and the management didn't breathe down our necks, plus I lived there all of my life there, so...

All of this just made mom even more depressed that she didn't have the education to get us out of the situation (being a cotton-picker for half of her life, and then moving north for a so called "better life" as a house cleaning lady).

2. Oh yes, I hated it. Although the government helped me and my family, the management at the apt complex didn't care a bit and punished it's residents for being in the situation we were in. So, I am weary of gov. programs because there's no accountability and us little people in bad situations are afraid to complain because we could get kicked out and put in a worse situation.

So glad I have a college degree. No more being pushed around like that! And I'm going to help my mom not be pushed around too!!!
