What does your bedroom look like (looking for decorating ideas)?
Q. My bedroom is in the attic. It has wood floors, beams along the ceilings, 2 big old windows, and a small bathroom attached. I painted two walls a very light green. I was going for a vintage, whimsical look. I have a double wooden bed with pink bedding and I used an old tapestry to create a canopy. I have a nightstand, big vintage trunk, bookshelf, papasan chair, pink couch, round kids table, craft desk, record player/stereo, armiore with my tv, dvd/vcr player, and video games, small mini fridge, and storage cabinet. I have alot of my own artwork and collages on the walls, twinkle lights, fake ivy, fantasy paintings, and a collage wall of posters. My bathroom is a light pink and I have a painted sink, glass cabinet, and bathtub. Beside my bathroom and the stairs is a small awkward space which I made into a little walk-in closet with my wardrobe, clothing rack, and shoe rack. I used some pull curtains to make a door.

I live in military government housing so I'm limited on painting. I can paint but then I have to put it all back to the way it was when I moved in - I'm only here for 3 years so I don't want to bother.
Since I'm military I'm kind of minimalist when it comes to decorating and furniture. My bedroom has hardwood floors, 9 foot ceilings and is about 16X16 ft. I have a bed and 2 nightstands on the entry wall and a chest of drawers and a dresser on the wall opposite. On the wall opposite the windows I have a wall type closet and 2 canvas wardrobes that take up the entire wall. I don't have a frame on my bed so the boxspring just sits on the floor. I hung a green and blue dining table runner in place of a headboard and hung black and white beach pictures directly on the runner. On the window wall on either side of the window I have shadow box picture frames with pictures I took in Hawaii, green landscapes, and a few pics of the ocean from the air when I went up in a glider. I have green and blue sheers on my window - they are layered on 2 different rods. On the wall with the chest and dressers I have hung 2 scarves that match the curtains but have gold detailing that I bought when I was in Afghanistan. I also have a pair of dark wood shelves with books and vases that I also bought in Afghanistan. My bedding is blue and green to match the curtains and the scarves. I also have a blue and gold rug on the floor that I also bought in Afghanistan. I was going for relaxing tropical resort kind of feel. On the dresser I have a carved wooden palm tree that I got in Mexico and light blue and green candle holders. None of the colors are dark but do vary in shade with the darkest being the table runner headboard with dark blue and grass green and the rest being more of a sky blue with a soft lime green.

Making a playroom-ideas?
Q. I have 3 kids, 0-4.
I have a 2 story house, upstairs are our bedrooms. There are 3 rooms, and livingroom.
Downstairs, another livingroom, and two bedrooms. (And, the laundry room)
The 2 rooms downstairs are literally across from eachother. One has a door. (I'm debating on taking the doors out)
What I am wanting to do is make these areas playrooms. Now, the downstairs has been "abused" Actually this whole house has been neglected, but my husband and I are slowly getting the upstairs to look nice.
I want some Free-Cheap things I can do to this room. To make it a PLAY room.
We have a bookshelf, but it's upstairs in our livingroom setting perfectly with our other bookshelf, so I'd rather not move it. :) It looks nice!
I have a big, bulky computer desk that is not used.
We have some other things, I'm sure I could find to use...
Anywho, we have quite a few toys, and I'm actually wondering-What toys should I bring down there? I don't want toys they use ALL the time, because I don't want them down there without me. But I want toys they like. Any suggestions on fun toys for the play rooms?
Right now these rooms have stuff in them- we had a roommate who recently moved out, and he left TRASH. It's not easy to lift trash either.
The rooms really need to be remodeled, etc... but I can't afford to do that yet.. But I would like to comfortably wash clothes!!
Anyhow, I am looking for ANY suggestions that would make this easier/more fun.
Like I said, I'm limited on money, and all, but I would still like to get started. And, if there are any suggestions about getting toys/ organizing. What toys would be most beneficial for a playroom. Etc.
Also, where do you get those rugs that have the little towns on them-for cars? How much do they run?
I'm not worried about painting right now.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

Answer
The puzzle piece play mats are great for play rooms and even toddler bedrooms..we have them in both. Totes can serve as toy bins if you have any lying around and they are usually cheaper and hold more than toy organizers anyway. Label each bin with a piece of constuction paper, or some other type of paper, and have the kids decorate and color them. This way, all the toys will have a bin and they won't have to drag everything out to find certain things..they can also practice putting away toys is designated areas this way. Drawings, painting, etc that the kids do can be used as wall art. You might find a nice kids table at a local garage sale or something to put in the room. That way the kids could do crafts, color, paint, etc on it. Walmart has some kids table and chair sets at decent prices, but i'm not sure how much you really have to spend, so looking at garage sales, etc is you best bet to start off with. If your looking to add a nice coat of paint to the walls, pick a nice bright color or you could pick a neutral color, then you could have the kids dip their hands in a different color paint and put their hand prints on the wall...its a cheap idea and looks great for play rooms, but its only a suggestion. I suggest putting larger toys in the play rooms because they take up so much space in a bedroom, which is what we do. Beanbag chairs or small chairs are also nice for play rooms. The rugs with cars can be purchased at toys r us, or at least, that is where we bought our nephews..for like 15$ and that was for a medium size one..hope this helps.
