Getting a new bedroom, any ideas at all?




Tilly


Ok, so we're having an insurance job done on my bedroom cus it's next to the bathroom, and the shower's leaked into my room. Cut a long story short, I need my bedroom completely redecorated. I am now into my teenage years(was a kid when we moved here) and would like my bedroom to be organised, and grown up! Have you any ideas at all that would help me with my bedroom, what you find useful, or anything? Particulary, I am looking for some idea for hanging up my really long necklaces, and want to learn from my mistake of using hooks inside my wardrobe door to hang them up(they end up falling and breaking!) Just any ideas that you find useful for that, or anything else would be well appreciated! You might just fill a gap I need in my bedroom filled that I didn't realise how I did without before!

Thank you again. Any ideas, anything you find useful! Thank you soooo much!



Answer
A key hook board on your wall would work great to display your necklaces.

For a more grown up bedroom choose a light color for your walls, bold colored walls tend to make a room look child-like. It's best to choose a color from your comforter then add two coordinating colors for curtains, rug, accents and accessories combined with the wall color.

Arrange your room in separate areas and decorate in each area instead of randomly.
for ex.
An impressive beach/landscape wall art or canvas/poster above the headboard of your bed.
Memo board above your desk.

Mirror above your dresser or a vanity w/mirror.

A cute wall decal.

Your fav movie or music poster on a spacious wall.
Flameless candles and hanging paper lantern for ambient lighting.

To organize your room.
Go through your closet and dresser, clothes that are stained/torn throw away,
any that don't fit/wear give to friends/sister or donate.

When folding and putting the clothes you want to keep in your dresser, put socks and undies in the top drawer, shirts in the next, then jeans and sweaters in the bottom.
Hang clothes the same way, tops, then slacks, dresses, jackets...
Hang what you only wear occasionally to the back of your closet.
If you have a lot of clothes pack away winter clothes in boxes and slide under your bed and when the cold weather comes switch and pack away summer clothes. Once your seasonal clothes are packed away you will have a lot more space.

Clear off your dresser and organize your desk, use a jar or glass for pens/pencils and markers. You could decorate a shoebox with gift wrap for extras, crayons, erasers...
Stack game disks/dvds/cds, if you have many get a tower.
Throw away old/scrap paper and store the papers you want to keep next to your desk in a rolling file and/or storage ottoman-plus extra seating.

Get baskets for beauty items and a pocket organizer to hang over a door for shoes, gadgets, odds & ends...

http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_constraint=0&ic=48_0&search_query=over+the+door+pocket+organizer

Make sure you have a wastebasket and hamper.

We all have bad habits, leave things lay, flip our shoes off, throw clothes over a chair or bed/floor, leave clean clothes in the laundry basket...
To keep your room clean and neat get in the habit of doing things right away.
Make your bed when you get up, easy to just pull your comforter over.
When you're done using something put it away.
Throw away paper, snack bags and bring dishes to the kitchen.
Put dirty clothes in your hamper right when you take them off.
Fold and hang clean clothes fresh out of the dryer, no wrinkles and no more searching for clothes.
Then there's no cleaning except vacuum and dust when it needs it.
You'll love walking into your room all neat, organized and clutter free.

Teen Bedroom Decorating Ideas?




Alyssa M


Hey!
So my family and I are moving to a new house, and I am looking to redecorate my room to a really nice theme. The only problem is, I can't pick one out!!
We're moving into a cape, we think at least. I just need some help with it. I want a really cool comforter and lights and curtains and a mini fridge and things like that.
I already have the furniture, I'm not getting any new ones, besides maybe a chair or a couch.
I really really like Disney, even though I'm 16 years old haha :-) ! I'm not into the Disney Channel, I like classic Disney, you know Disney World! I love that. So maybe a room like that would be really need to have.
Also maybe a beach themed, or something like that. But my big idea is Disney I think.
And any suggestions even if they aren't Disney, are welcomed!! My favorite color is blue, if that helps, and my furniture is black. I also hate the color pink... ;P
So thank you!!
-Lyssie



Answer
Whatâs nice about bedroom furniture is that there are actually a lot of options to choose from in terms of style, also various styles rest with different ages. For example, luxury antique furniture relates to middle-aged and old people; while for young people, a modern feel featuring a clean look with stunning symmetrical lines maybe better; then simple and friendly used furniture are suitable for kids.

The choices donât just stop with style when it comes to bedroom furniture for a wide variety of designs and types are offered in as well. Take classic European stylish furniture selected by middle aged people for example, a wide carved bed with embroider bedclothes are necessary, then, believe it or not, there are a slew of dressers that you can get for your space, dressers are great if you have a lot of clothes that you need to fold and store away. Nightstands with drawers are always a good choice as well if you have many clothes to keep. Please do not just stop here with drawers and nightstands; you could have a good selection of armoires, entertainment centers, bed frames that have drawers built in them, vanity tables and dressers, mirrors, desks, benches, and bookshelves and all kinds of bedroom furniture. If you want to enjoy some romantic moment, then you need a set of leisure furniture, let the flavor of red wine permeate around the soft music to relax both your body and mind!

Is your bedroom a no kid zone?




Yvonne


They say your bedroom should be more like a sanctuary. It's a place to relax, sleep or be intimate and kids should never be allowed to just come in and out as they please. I started laughing when I heard this because our 2 year old daughter shares a room with us and it's IMPOSSIBLE to keep our bedroom kid free right now.

We are moving in a few weeks to where we will all have our own rooms. I'm starting to like the idea of a no kid zone bedroom. There will be no toys or a tv in our room and really no reason for them to go in there, except to go down into the basement because that's where the basement door is. So what's it like in your house?

BQ: What to you think about a beach themed bedroom?
Its not like I am banning them from our room lol. They won't be shot for trespassing. I just like the idea and it will be less to clean if it's not played in all the time.



Answer
Yes! It drives me nuts when my kids go into my room to play or bring toys in! They have their 2 bedrooms and a playroom, they do not need to play in my room. I have this argument with them everyday! It's tough right now because I have 2 under 2 and they don't understand so they are in the bedroom while I shower and stuff, but then the older 2 think that means they can come in and make a mess and it drives me nuts!
Every other room in the house is theirs to play in-this belongs to me and my husband!

Seriously? Having a space in the house means that is "kid free" means that I am neglectful and I don't know my kids? What about promoting a relationship between my husband and I? We have 4 kids and very little time to ourselves-don't we deserve to have a space that is just for us? They get in bed with us at night if they are scared, and when they calm down they go back to bed. It's not like we are being mean by expecting a little bit of privacy.

Buying a two bedroom condo with two kids?




Jose-Migue


My fiance and I both grew up in Los Angeles county. I grew up in the suburbs of Long Beach, in a very nice neighborhood. We want to buy a house where I grew up, but all we can afford is a 2 bedroom condo with a very small backyard. We have a 2 1/2 year old girl and a 1 1/2 year old boy. We live with my parents at the moment, in a 4 bedroom house, and they share a room. Our only other option is to live inland, where we currently live. We'd be able to purchase a 4 bedroom house for the same price. But, living inland has been a miserable experience for my fiance and I. But we also want to think about our kids. Help?!
I lived right on the borderline of Seal Beach. The only place within walking distance was a small shopping center with a 7-11 and a burger spot.



Answer
The 2 BR is a really bad idea. You need at least 3 BR as you really need to separate boy & girl into separate rooms. They need space to play, have their separate age-appropriate activities, different bedtimes, and soon the older will want to have friends come over, etc. You need to be able to separate them if one gets sick. You will outgrow that condo within a year, certainly no more than 2 yrs.

Rent a 3 BR apt, save up more down payment, then look for 3 or 4 BR. Or else look for a house in the same price range as that condo even if it not exactly the area you prefer. Also note that condos are a bad idea. HOA fees increase, often sharply & suddenly. In a declining market, condos usually drop sooner & faster than house prices, play space is limited, you are dependent on others for exterior maintenance & repairs. Neighbor problems are common. Condo is a bad idea, especially with small children. You really want a house, not a condo.

I need ideas on how to paint my boys bedroom?




sonia s


I have 2 boys (ages 7 & 4) that share a fairly large bedroom. I want to paint it with some cool design that they'll like now and when they get older. Any suggestions would be great.


Answer
The best ideas I've found for boys bedrooms are http://boysthemebedrooms.com/. There are some great themes that you can do by purchasing or making the items shown. I also found this site (http://www.decorating-kids-rooms.net/bedroom-themes-for-children.html) which talks specifically about "How To Create Bedroom Themes For Children That Grow With Your Child".

Right now it seems to be that for your 4 and 7 year olds, a pirate theme would be fantastic. Maybe paint a wall mural of a beach and sunset on one wall. Then as they grow older they can add things to it - like kids playing sports on the beach, pirate treasure in the sand, or just enjoying the peaceful scene.

You know your kids and their interests - have a ball with them and let them decide. My daughter loves pirates and Egyptians. So I'm focusing on the treasure and tying the two interests together that way.

Beach theme bedroom.Help with ideas.?







We are gonna be moving into a new house.I want my room to kinda have a beach or ocean kinda theme. One like where you can escape from the hard working day. Like the walls to be a sand color. I have a new bedspread that is blue and green circles with polka dots in them and pink pillow cases and sheets. I like those kinda colors, but should I get a diff. bedspread ( kinda plane ) like blue green or yellow? I want to have the words " world peace" or just "peace "cut out and made out of pictures and hang it on my wall the a collage ( how ever u spell it ). Idk if that works. I also want like relaxing pictures of waves and water falls and palm trees and stuff. But I still want it to be fun. So can you give me neat ideas for colors , furnature and stuff like that. Make sure it all goes with a beach theme ( but still fun ) .

Thanks !

( btw im 14 years old ) :]



Answer
My wife wanted what you are talking about. We both love the beach.I painted the whole room a sky blue even the ceiling. I took a can of sand brown spray paint and sprayed about 2 feet from the floor up all the way around the room it does not have to be a straight line. On the wall in front of our bed i drew and painted a lighthouse from the floor to the ceiling. Then i got a little darker blue and sprayed the water all around about 2 feet and then took white to make the wave caps. Then i sprayed clouds on the ceiling and about a foot off the ceiling on the wall these were all random all over the room. I got a little bottle of enamel paint they use on models and painted these ~ ~ randomly around the room they look like birds flying in the distance. I took the same paint brush used for water colors and used a brown and green to paint the fountain type grass in a few places. It took me 2 days a weekend it turned out great and she loves it . She showed it to some friends and i have done some other murals for 3 of her friends kids rooms. A Disney room where i drew a bunch of the Disney characters. All so did a sports room and a Jungle room they all turned out great. I am not an artist but i can look at a picture and copy it out of a book. Hope this gives you some ideas. If you use the spay paint which is fast for large areas cover the floor and have good ventilation i also used those little paper nose and mouth covers you see them use in the hospitals which you can buy at the paint store i got all my stuff at walmart. Every thing i drew and painted came from magazines.

How can I get a surfer style bedroom?

 on Murals - Decorating Ideas for Baby - Toddler - Kids bedrooms ...
kids bedroom ideas beach image




HollyPolly


I love brands like Fat Face, Billabong, Roxy etc. and the whole surfer look but I was wondering how to get that style in my bedroom? I've only got a tiny bedroom but I'm up for any suggestions - please add photos if you can.


Answer
I would definitely stay away from creating a too cheesy surfer room. For example, I was looking up some pictures for you and there were cheap grass skirts as the bedskirt for the bed and little tiny surfer lamps and stuffed monkeys and dolphins and stuff....cheesy. To make a gooood surfer room, I'd choose a bright color that you like for the walls or maybe two as in the picture provided below. The room below has lime green and orange but if you like other bright colors better, that'd be okay too. When you look for room examples like this, I always just use the picture as a shell and interchange my color preferences, etc. So paint the walls a bright color, I actually like the blue in the second picture provided for the walls. You'll want to keep white in your room too..the molding around the room, in the bedspread, maybe the bed frame, the dresser and anything you can really. Because you have a really bright wall, you need that white to offset it and make it more beachy and light. So chose your bedspread. There are plenty of bedspreads that are actually billabong and roxy beach spreads if you want that. You can also chose a hawaiian print theme, but I feel like that's borderline cheesy as well. If I were you, I would choose a full white bedspread in a light fabric. Choosing a completely white bedspread will also make the room and your bed feel and look bigger. It's really your preference though, as I know some people love the hawaiian print. I love the wicker in the first room provided. And I love how they painted it, but I also just love wicker plain. So if you're tight on cash or you just like the wicker not painted, just keep it like it is. Wicker just reminds me of outdoor furniture you'd have at a beach house though. I'm not sure what color your carpet is or if you have wood floors. It'd be ideal if you had wood flooring and then I'd add a straw beach mat as the rug at the foot of the bed or at the side of the bed, depending on the positioning of the bed. I'd get white lamps like the one in the first bedroom provided, the two inbetween the two beds on the nightstand. Again, I'm not sure how you are on money, but if you can afford it, I'd definitely splurge on a full sized surfboard to put somewhere in your room, behind a wicker chair or in a corner by itself. I'll provide a link to a cheaper board (in the world of surfboards it's considered very cheap.) I'd also get some beach themed decor. I like the word beach spelled out above the bed in the second picture. I also love the wood nightstand in the second bedroom, you can see the top slats of it, but I would paint it white. I was recently at Marshalls and they had extremely nice and sophisticated beach themed decor that could fill up probably two to three rooms. If you have a Marshalls by you, you should take a look there. Also, TJ Maxx. If not though, I'm sure you can find really cute beach stuff online. Even if you went to a craft store and bought a hurricane candle holder, a pillar candle, and sand and/or shells, that would be awesome to put on your nightstand. You could also buy a cheap starfish and shells online too to put around your room. The options are endless!! :) Here are all the links:

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!

I need ideas on how to paint my boys bedroom?

I have 2 boys (ages 7 & 4) that share a fairly large bedroom. I want to paint it with some cool design that they'll like now and when they get older. Any suggestions would be great.


Answer
The best ideas I've found for boys bedrooms are http://boysthemebedrooms.com/. There are some great themes that you can do by purchasing or making the items shown. I also found this site (http://www.decorating-kids-rooms.net/bedroom-themes-for-children.html) which talks specifically about "How To Create Bedroom Themes For Children That Grow With Your Child".

Right now it seems to be that for your 4 and 7 year olds, a pirate theme would be fantastic. Maybe paint a wall mural of a beach and sunset on one wall. Then as they grow older they can add things to it - like kids playing sports on the beach, pirate treasure in the sand, or just enjoying the peaceful scene.

You know your kids and their interests - have a ball with them and let them decide. My daughter loves pirates and Egyptians. So I'm focusing on the treasure and tying the two interests together that way.

What are some good ideas of things to send to my fiance in Iraq?




Sarah F


My fiance was deployed a while ago, I sent him a package with an auto magazine, photo album, some fruit snacks, hand sanitizer.. a few other odds and ends. Does anyone have any good ideas of things to send? Or things that would be useful? I sent him the build a bear with voice recording a couple months ago, and an Easter basket with candy and fun things.. Any other ideas!? Thank you so much for your feedback!


Answer
I send a package to my husband like every two weeks also when he deploys. I also have an 11 page attachment if you would like it that have different themed care packages that i have put together through hubby's deployments. These theme care packages make it a little more fun to shop for when you have a certain theme in mind. I have used many of them and then you can just talior it to your fiance. Here are some other sites:

Some things I sent hubby:
-summertime I sent a "Summer Fun Box", beach balls, frisbee, stick to door basketball hoop, nerf balls, etc.,
-things and snacks that i knew he would like. I also sent him things that his friends liked to because they didn't get much.
-cd's of his favorite music
-lots of cards and letters
-I also sent him a box full of unused cards such as thinking of you, Christmas Cards, Birthday Cards, Miss you cards, etc., that he could send back home to family and friends. It is hard to find cards there.
-I sent him Cake in A Jar
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1096421/how_to_bake_cake_in_a_jar.html?cat=22
-Sent him themed Care Packages (some can be as cute as you want and some can be as adult as you make it). One time I took a picture of our front door closed from the outside. Then a picture of the front door open and a picture of the floor. Then a picture of my shirt on the floor, then a picture of my shoes on the floor, then my socks on the floor, then my pants on the floor, then took a picture of my bra on the floor, then I took a picture of my undies on the floor, then I took a picture of our bedroom, then I took a picture of just the bed. Then put a little note that said wish you were here, miss you in my bed. Something like that. Remember though to take the pictures while making your way to the bedroom with the stuff on the floor so it looks like you are dropping your colthes on the way to the bedroom.
-Another thing you can do: buy a new pillowcase. Every night before you go to bed, take a shower but leave your hair a little damp before getting into bed. After a week, the pillowcase will smell like you. Package this up in a ziploc baggie and send a note with it "Something to remind you of me".
-Write in a journal. I sent this to hubby after every 2-3 months. Of course he still got plently of cards and letters but the journal was more thoughtful and more personal. I would write in it right before I went to bed. I wrote everything down, just like a regular journal. My feelings, what i did, what I ate, something that was funny to me that day, something that made me think of him that day, that I spoke to so and so, what the kids did, etc.,,. I then sent that to him. You know that sometimes we always don't get that long phone call or forget to tell them certain things by the time we do talk to them. Or letters that we don't want to make to long because we don't have the time. Hubby loved this because he said it still made him feel close to me and the kids even though he was gone for a year.
-Send him a photo album. Include pictures of his family, your family (as long as he likes them), kids, you, friends, his favorite car, his favorite boat, his favorite place to eat, his favorite place to visit, etc., I sent something like this to him and included letters from friends and family. I also put together a photo album every 4 months for him of things the girls and I did.
-Does he need anything for his room: storage containers, shelves, blankets, new sheets, pillows, footlockers (you know those rectangle black ones), a clock, picture frames, towels, washclothes, shower curtains (you would be surpised how yucky the ones they are using are), a foldable chair, a small table, paper plates, cups, silverware, etc.,
-Indivdually wrapped goodies and snacks. This way they stay fresher. this also includes the drink mixes that can be added to water.
-If he has access to a microwave, some microwave treats
-slippers, robe

Hope all is well and that some of these sites are useful. Good luck and have fun.
