How can I make my bedroom look more mature?
Q. I'm gonna be 16 in a few days and I keep thinking my bedroom looks really childish. How can I make it look more mature? My walls are light yellow and the furniture is cream with wood accents. I love the bedrooms in Pottery Barn (but not PB teens!)
Unfortunately I'm not allowed to buy new furniture or paint/wallpaper my walls...

A. It's not the wall color or the furniture - it's the accents. First check out some design magazines for ideas, then look into new fabrics for curtains, bedspreads and throw pillows. Put the kid clutter (your sentimental stuff) into storage bins or decorated boxes (you can make your own by covering lidded boxes with wallpaper or contact paper) and put a plant in your room. A throw rug and chair can create an "adult" sitting area in your room.
Quitting and trying to get rid of smoke smell, but I can't smell it?
Q. Before you tell me to quit smoking, well I am. However, I just stopped smoking about a week ago. I only smoked in my bedroom, and usually a good cleaning got rid of the smell for me. The problem is that probably due to my smoking, I can't really tell if it stinks or not. I know non-smokers can telll as soon as they walk in but I have no one to ask at the moment and I want to make sure it doesn't smell before my parents come to visit this weekend. I have 3 electrical air freshners that have been on for 2 days, cleaned and vaccumed with at least 3 different products but I think I might smell it because I'm on the patch and I feel sick after being in my room for too long. How to tell?
A. Make sure you wash all your bedding plus pillows. Also wash your curtains and you may have to wash down your walls and bedroom furniture and tv and nearly everything in your bedroom. Sorry but that`s what I had to do + the carpeting shampooed. Its a job but if you want to delete the cig smell this is what you have to do. Don`t kid yourself its traveled through your other part of the house too including your closet. I quit nearly 1 year ago and really had a cleaning job on my hands. Good Luck to you and congrats! on quitting...Keep your windows open and if you have a room purifier run that too it helps and febreeze is good!!!!
how can i turn my garage into my bedroom?
Q. i need help im turning my garage into my bedroom and i cant do anything fancy because im still a kid so i need tips.my garage is soooooooooo dark and scary and it has a lot of things that we cant get rid of and we dont know where to put them in so help!
A. I agree with storing the items that need to stay in the garage behind either a wall divider or putting up curtains or drapes to hide those items (can help to lighten up the room). Make sure the garage door has a seal around it (keep cooler in summer, warmer in winter). Curtains hung across the garage door will hide the fact it is a garage but they need to clear the door when opened, in case access to the garage is needed. Carpeting or room size rug is a must - it creates warmth and a cozy atmosphere.
The finished walls should be painted a light color to brighten up the space. You do not mention whether or not there are any windows. I would have sheers to let in light but have a shade for privacy that can be opened and closed as needed. Is there an overhead light fixture? That is something inexpensive for the family to replace and create a warmer atmosphere.
I would put the bed against the wall connected to the house. Make sure there is a lamp for reading (three-way gives you variety of lighting) Draw up a floor plan and show it to your family. They may be able to offer suggestions for the final result.

What is a good website (or ideas)to get ideas and how-tos on redoing a kids bedroom with stuff you already own?
Q. I have three little girls and am redoing their rooms. I need ideas on how to take things we already have and use them in a new light. Or, if you know a good website...that would be great too!
A. ASk them what colors they like in each room and what is there favorite toy or animal what hey are into and you can get there old clothes and make pillows, add a favor it shirt or outfit sewn on the bed spread pain their furniture. Sheets make great curtains and can cover and old chair, top of a toy box. with 2 sided tape you can take that cute animal or character cut it out of the okd sheet or pajama add it to the wall. 2 sided tapethey have fabric glue or tape for material. Some old wooden toys can be screwed to a board and made a jama hanger or coat.
