Any idea's , especially COLORS , I want not so many bright colors , except maybe like one bright wall or something . Feel free to share ANY idea's even if they are dumb cuz I still might like it lol .
But thanks :D

Answer
I have a lot of information on do it yourself decorating (for teens, bedrooms, small spaces, storage, etc.) at my blog with pictures for inspiration. Kid's rooms usually have a strong theme, and more mature teen rooms are usually less matchy-matchy. Scroll through photos, I showed living rooms with wild colors used tastefully, so any room that you like can be an inspiration for your bedroom.

The most important thing is to make the room show your own style, within your budget.

What is good colour for my room?

Carey Stod

I have decided I might change my burgundy and beige coulored room into something mood lightening. Since a lot of time I have an non-enthusiastic mood and I would like something that provokes a happy and enthusiastic mood for home-work and art that I plan to do. I know someone who coulored their art room a vibrant green but it seems to me that would kind of eye-straining. Also it would be great for people to provide other tips on achieving a more enthusiastic mood because I DO CHOOSE BEST ANSWER

Answer
I like a very light shade of aqua for a bedroom. It's calming but still cheerful. Here are some that might give you some ideas:

I especially love this shade of blue with violet or light purple.
Find bedding that works first and then choose the shade based on it:

Curtain and Bed set ideas for a Blue walled Bedroom with grey white carpet?

I have a Columbia blue room. On 2 walls there are 2 colors sponged on but very lightly( green and a kind of pale yellow. On the 2 other walls there is the Columbia blue but then there are darker streaks of blue. I did not paint these walls, or choose the colors, but it is not an option to repaint. I am tying to get new curtains and new bed set. For my windows there is a white rim. Do you guys have any ideas for what I could get? I also would appreciate it if you would give me a website or a picture of the room that you found the bed idea in. If not thats okay too, I would like as many ideas as possible:) thank you so much
In a few year we will be getting wood floors, I don't know if this matters but... yea haha:) Thanks again!

Answer
Wow. I'd like to see a photo of that paint job. Whew.

Well, you seem to have a good attitude about it so I commend you for that.

You definitely need to stay away from any kind of pattern in your fabrics. Go with one color and I would imagine the lighter the better, I'd imagine. White or pale yellow might be good.

Or one option might be to EMBRACE THE COLUMBIA BLUE since it is the unifying color in all the walls! Maybe get white curtains and bedspread but go with the columbia blue in all your pillows and accessories with some white accents, too!
http://uglyhousephotos.com/wordpress/?p=25204

These photos may not be your colors, but they show how plain colors are what's needed to tone down the busyness of your sponged painted walls:
http://uglyhousephotos.com/wordpress/?p=9485

Here's an idea that could help cover the busy walls and should be inexpensive. Though the photo shows several busy fabrics in the hoops (or in any shape) on a plain wall - reverse it! If you decide on a specific color then put that in hoops of several sizes to maybe tone down the walls.
http://www.happymundane.com/2007/03/fabric-wall-inspiration/

One idea I might suggest is to pick which 2 wall colors you could easiest live with, then cover the other two walls with something.

Since you cannot paint, how about ceiling to floor and wall to wall curtains? Pick one of the colors from the walls you will keep exposed, or use white, and get plain colored sheets and hang them on the walls. Ikea has great ideas on how to hang curtains but if your budget is really low, just hang them flat with staples or push pins.

http://pinterest.com/pin/57772807690801745/

If your budget is really low, get large sheets of craft paper hung with removable tape as tiles in a brick fashion: http://patterni.net/brick-pattern-tiles/

Or rolls of butcher paper, and use removable tape, staples or push pins to hang. Then, if you want, you could write or draw on your walls, too! http://www.walltowallstencils.com/gallery/fullsize/bettywatsonjohn316.jpg

Another idea is folding screens. Find them at rummage sales and paint them the color of your choice to help hide the 2 walls you want to cover up.

You can go to the dollar stores in your area and look for sheets, rugs, fabric, paper, place mats, anything inexpensively that you can use to hang. Again, I would stick with plain colors but you never know - maybe something might inspire you there and you'll come up we a great idea of your own!

Here are several ideas for you to check out. Notice in the first photo how they worked with the colors in the various patterns. That's the idea - pick UNIFYING colors.
http://www.kidspacestuff.com/blog/2012/08/flashyways-fabric-kids-room-walls/

Wall art! Make as big or small as you want!

I love acting and singing but im scared to sing in front of my family what should i do?

kids bedroom ideas blog image

banana

i really want to audition for shows and movies but im too scared to ask my parents. i love it with all my heart but i don't know what to do. i reallyl do love to sing but im not sure.

Answer
Singing takes a lot of courage. We feel vulnerable when we stand up in front of an audience to sing. It's scary. But nerves are really common. There are two ways to get over your nervousness. 1) Practice singing while nervous. 2) Improve your singing, so you won't be as nervous about it.

Try singing in a situation where you're only a little bit nervous - maybe for a friend or for your bedroom wall! When you get used to that, find something bigger that makes you nervous. (Ex., singing outdoors in a park where a few kids are playing.) Keep going like that, and you'll eventually overcome your nervousness.

Also, the best way to improve your voice is with a voice teacher, but choir is also a good start. If you'd like some ideas on how to find a teacher, visit my blog.

If you really love something, it's worth pursuing even if it's scary! Eventually, you may even find that you like that racing feeling inside.

Good luck.
