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.

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!

I'm decorating my new place, can you help with ideas?

Q. I just purchased a cute new little 2 bedroom house.
I thought I had it all figured out the way I wanted to decorate it but i'm still stumped! I need some ideas or a thought for inspiration to decorate my place.

About me-
I love french culture
My favorite colors are- cool colors like blues, purples and greens but I also like white and light yellow
I'm a kid at heart but i'm a big girly girl
I like flowers, skirts, dresses, hats, perfume, flip flops, handbags and jewelry
Hawaii is the ultimate vacation spot
I love mellow music but i'm a rocker girl also
I like to relax and read a good magazine
I love to bake and I could live on drinking grape soda

sooo can anybody come up with some good themes for rooms in my new home? Thanks!
I think I want to do the guest room in all white with colored pillows and stuff what do you think?

Answer
Shabby chic all the way! Hit the flea markets..A great way to redecorate is to recycle. Use an old or new outdoor bird bath inside as a side table or in the bath to hold candles and bath supplies. Add an affordable glass top and wa-la! Instant table. You can also pick up many old architectural pieces at flea markets...paint them, sand them down a bit and you have instant character to any room. An old door can be stood in a corner or used as the top of a coffee or sofa table. The trick is to umber over any color you paint...this gives the piece instant aging and character. Shabby chic is the way to go....understated yet refined if done correctly.
