Answer
Personally, I think that 9 to 11 is a huge jump, maturity wise, especially with girls. She's probably starting to think about boys and friends and clothes,etc, and the boy is still a "little kid". It's important that you divide the space A: she's on the verge of becoming a teen and needs her own space to have privacy and escape and RELAX (i'm sure they love each other a lot but also get on each other's nerves) & B: once girls and boys start to mature it's better if they have separate bedrooms. You could definately divide the room up in a cool way. You could go to pottery barn for example, or somewhere similar, and buy some sheers with the cable system: (maybe in white or something neutral)

or you could buy some room dividers (like the folding screens)
a "central space" is also an option. (a lounging, hanging out neutral space) Here you could have a pink floor chair and a blue, you could buy a different, more gender neutral rug, buy some girlier lamps for her, some wall decals for him, just mixing and matching. http://www.pbteen.com/gift/thm/thmlng/thmlngffb/
Or you could make their study space on the dividing line. And make it reflect both your little girl and little boy.http://www.pbteen.com/gift/thm/thmstu/thmstusbs/ (of course these are just starting points, you can always change things up)
If you cleanly divided the room, in the center, where the dividing (invisible of course) line is, you could put a couch and a rug and a tv, or their desks and a rug, or a long dresser that has her drawers on one side, his on the other, etc. you get the idea.
Pottery Barn Kids and Pottery Barn Teen are both great magazines that have wonderful ways of decorating rooms. They are also a great way to look for inspiration or cool ways of doing rooms. Take a look at their websites, and call for a catalog to brouse through for ideas. :) www.potterybarnkids.com & www.pbteen.com. Talk to your kids about how they might want their space to look. They each have the'r own preferences, hobbies- maybe she like dancing and he likes the ocean, etc etc. They probably both have great ideas... If you do decide that you just DON'T want divided rooms, you want them to share, take a look at this:

You could always choose basic furnature, and have each pick out their own bedspreads, rugs, (little things)
Whatever

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!
Answer
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:

This link is adult bedrooms:

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!
