Is this a good bedroom idea?
Cassidy Ma
I'm 14 and a girl. I want to paint splatter one wall with backlight paint and get backlights so it will glow. Then for the other 3 walls I want to paint top half green and bottom half white to draw on with sharpies. I want to get wall decals of wires with birds on them and shoes thrown over them. With a black and white bird in cage bedspread. I have black and silver loft bed. Would this be good? Oh and I want a black ceiling and put stars on it to represent my love of harry potter because in Harry potter the grand hall has an open ceiling. Would this be a cool idea?

Sounds AWESOME.
But your parents might not let you do some of those things :C
Like painting the ceiling black. I asked to do that as a kid and got a big fat NO. To get around that, they let me do a dark purple (as if that is any easier to paint over!). Then I put those glow in the dark stars on it. When I turned out the light, it was just like sleeping under the stars! You don't even need to paint the ceiling for that effect! (Plus a black ceiling will make your room seem smaller. Some kind of crazy optical illusion). Or you could find creative ways to make the ceiling black without making it permanent. Like tacking a sheet up there or covering it with black paper. You seem pretty creative, I'm sure you can figure something out!

If they let you do the sharpie thing, then that would be pretty cool. If not, ask if you can get chalk board paint. It comes in lots of colors other than black. Then you can draw til your heart's content, then erase it when you don't like it! (or if you mess up). That way, you can change how your room looks when ever you want, just by erasing your "caulk board".

Oooh check it out! They also make DRY ERASE paint! Your whole wall could be a dry erase board!

And black and white always look so good together. You could even use green sheets or pillows (same color as your wall) to tie it all together.
Hope you can convince your parents to let you do it! Tell them they are "stifling your creativity" or something if they say no ;)
Good luck!

Bedroom ideas for 3 boys?
J
My three sons are going to be sharing one bedroom. They are aged 6 1/2, 4 and 4. The bedroom that is going to be theirs is pretty large (14-4tf X 12ft) and has a bathroom and a large closet. Does anyone have any ideas on how to organize and arrange the three kids in one room? I would to give them some space away from each other. Any themes are appreciated as well. Thanks!
I'm going to put this question in the parenting section too, in case anyone has ever been in my situation.

I like the idea of two sets of twin bunk beds, also. In particular, this is better than:
-three separate beds eating all your floor space.
-a double on bottom, twin on top bunk that would sleep all of them now but they can't stay this way for long...how long can two boys sleep together in a double bed?
-a loft-type system that can be dangerous if you don't execute it properly, and expensive if you buy a kit or have it done professionally.
-PLUS you get room for a buddy to sleep over.
-AND you have room for the twins to be at ground level and your older son to be up top like the big boy he is. As they grow up and top bunk is more inconvenient than cool, and anyone can be up there safely, they can rotate the sleeping arrangements.
As for storage spaces, I would say like with the beds, you need to go up where you can. Just don't put things so high that kids can't safely reach and do for themselves. As they get taller and more coordinated you will have more freedom to build up.
I don't know how you feel about individuality and where you draw the lines. I think each kid should definitely be allowed his own things, and personality, of course this is true. But you might consider some things community property to be stored together and shared among them...some of their toys and books and media, more expensive stuff like their TV and game systems and maybe some sports equipment...
One thing I would do if I had three young boys that close in age is extend this principle to socks and maybe even underwear too. I would gather up every one of their current socks and toss them out...and replace them with 50-60 or so pairs of IDENTICAL cheap white socks for them all to share. Keep dirty in the bathroom in a big roughtote or maybe even a kitchen style wastebasket with a swinging lid, labelled boys whites...wash them all together once a week in hot with bleach to keep them sanitary and bright...dump them unfolded into another container for storage of clean. This eliminates the drama of pairing up socks and sorting among people, and the waste if any get ruined or go missing. You might keep another (smaller) collection of identical black dress socks. Clean out and replace everything every year, maybe in the spring when you are spring cleaning and organizing, and when you aren't already saddled with back to school expenses or holiday gifts. This might be a hundred dollars or so expense every year. A small price to pay for such convenience all year. I think you can get at least another five years out of the collective sock arrangement. You might have to abandon the underwear clause a little sooner hahahh.
As for decor, I would go with a larger theme for the room, and each kids personal things...their dresser, their desk, their backpack, can be done in a particular element of that theme to both express themselves and distinguish their stuff. A bit like color coding but a little more descriptive I guess.
Animal themes abound...could do the room in the big theme and each kid decorates their stuff with an animal...you could do farm (duck, goat, horse) pets (dog, cat, hamster) dinosaurs (bronto, stego, pterydactyl) bugs (grasshopper, spider, bee) zoo (zebra, elephant, giraffe) etc. You could do sports...do the room to look like a stadium or locker room or sportscasters studio, or hang jerseys and display sports equipment. Each kid gets a separate team...or same sport, each kid rocks pro-college-their school, or each kid decorates with a different sport. You could do music...album covers or music notes, etc...and each kid gets a different singer or band or rapper, or each kid gets a different instrument. You could do games...decorate with vintage game boards, and get lamps and furniture that resemble game pieces. Each kid could be cards, dominoes, and dice. You could do a cartoon room...each kid decorates with a different cartoon. Or do a Disney room and each kid gets a different character. You could do bright colors and everyone gets a different shape...circles, squares, triangles.
