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.

Bedroom Themes?

Q. I want to re-do my bedroom with some stylish new themes and can't really think of any. I want it to be a theme that you can find alot of cool stuff for thats not too expensive.
I was kinda thinking something with movies posters?? cuz i love alot of different movies but im really open to anything!

Answer
As our family has recently moved, I am decorating my new room in an ocean theme. We had taken a trip to California last fall and I fell in love with the ocean (even more so than I had every other time I had been out there.) We drove up the PCH (Pacific Coastal Highway), through Malibu and many other breathtaking places. When we reached our destination, my fondest memories are just of us sitting on the beach watching the waves crash onto shore. That is what I am going to attempt to recreate in my room, but I am still looking for ideas from others who have done this. Most other rooms I've seen have either underwater ocean themes (mostly kids rooms), or they do an ocean themed room with just solid wall colors. I want to create an ocean-like experience on at least one wall. You can usually pick up ocean-like nicknacks at garage sales or thrift stores.
My advice: Pick out a favorite place, whether it's an ocean or in the heart of New York City, and if you have large enough walls, there are usually wall-murals you can buy. (I had one in my old room.) That way when you enter your room, you feel as if you are in your favorite place.

How should I decorate my kids room a boy and girl 9 and 11?

mendy

they both share a room its the master bedroom ...what colors,patterens,divide it into a girl and boys room

Answer
Personally, I think that 9 to 11 is a huge jump, maturity wise, especially with girls. She's probably starting to think about boys and friends and clothes,etc, and the boy is still a "little kid". It's important that you divide the space A: she's on the verge of becoming a teen and needs her own space to have privacy and escape and RELAX (i'm sure they love each other a lot but also get on each other's nerves) & B: once girls and boys start to mature it's better if they have separate bedrooms. You could definately divide the room up in a cool way. You could go to pottery barn for example, or somewhere similar, and buy some sheers with the cable system: (maybe in white or something neutral)
http://www.pbteen.com/products/p2496/?pkey=cwindow-curtains-drapes-sheers
or you could buy some room dividers (like the folding screens)
a "central space" is also an option. (a lounging, hanging out neutral space) Here you could have a pink floor chair and a blue, you could buy a different, more gender neutral rug, buy some girlier lamps for her, some wall decals for him, just mixing and matching. http://www.pbteen.com/gift/thm/thmlng/thmlngffb/
Or you could make their study space on the dividing line. And make it reflect both your little girl and little boy.http://www.pbteen.com/gift/thm/thmstu/thmstusbs/ (of course these are just starting points, you can always change things up)
If you cleanly divided the room, in the center, where the dividing (invisible of course) line is, you could put a couch and a rug and a tv, or their desks and a rug, or a long dresser that has her drawers on one side, his on the other, etc. you get the idea.
Pottery Barn Kids and Pottery Barn Teen are both great magazines that have wonderful ways of decorating rooms. They are also a great way to look for inspiration or cool ways of doing rooms. Take a look at their websites, and call for a catalog to brouse through for ideas. :) www.potterybarnkids.com & www.pbteen.com. Talk to your kids about how they might want their space to look. They each have the'r own preferences, hobbies- maybe she like dancing and he likes the ocean, etc etc. They probably both have great ideas... If you do decide that you just DON'T want divided rooms, you want them to share, take a look at this:
http://www.potterybarnkids.com/stylehouse/decorate/sharingspaces/index.cfm
You could always choose basic furnature, and have each pick out their own bedspreads, rugs, (little things)
Whatever

What are original ideas for decorating a teenage girl's bedroom?

I'm a 13 year old girl interested in art and music and I need to redecorate my room. It is all pink and little-kid-ish and I'm sick of it. I have a friend who put Christmas lights around the top of her room and I was kind of going for that original style. Any ideas?

Answer
Hello There,

We all like a nice peaceful retreat and definitely our bedroom is one of those places. I have a 13 year old and we redid her room when she was 12 (last year).

1. We painted her room with silver blue and white (Behr satin finish). Two walls blue, two walls white.

2. We then chose two paintings (from Marshalls) One was a blue hues ocean scene with waves with a white finish frame and the other was a blue painted frame of teenagers playing in the water by the ocean side. It has more light to it. We placed that on the blue wall. We also added a silver oval framed mirror and and rectangular family picture collage frame.

If you really want a string of lights you can hang it along the window.

3. Her bedding is a mixture of different shades of blue, yellow and fuchcia. It is a very peaceful room..

4.We also put a small microwave kitchen cart in her room where she has a terrarium with seashells sitting on top of it. The shelves hold her school supplies. . You can find this at the resource below.

I wish I could show you a picture but it is truly a retreat for her.

This is not an expensive makeover. Follow what we did and choose your own colors. Walmart, Target and Marshalls are all great stores.Discuss it with your parents and
email me if you have any questions.

Happy decorating,

Romona

Cheap Insulation for an Apartment wall that not too hard to put up or take down down besides draperies?

marlen4000

I live an apartment and cannot put in permanent insulation. My bedroom is on the right on the side of the street and long driveway where many cars pass by. It's also where people front door is so I get lost of noise. Please help me.

Answer
Several ideas:
Cloth of any type will deaden sound; the fluffier the better. You could tack up some old comforters. You could use carpet padding. You could find a furniture store or warehouse that throws away styrofoam sheets and use that.

I would go with the carpet padding. If you hang it vertically you could staple it up with a minimum of holes, then cover it with cheap flat sheets for better aesthetic appeal. Walmart sells reasonably priced sheets individually packaged, and you can get the carpet padding from a discount carpet dealer.

I would also recommend getting a white noise machine. My husband used one for years when he worked midnight shift. It really helped deaden the neighborhood noises and allowed him to sleep through lawnmowers, kids , barking dogs, etc. He liked the ocean wave setting. Here's an example of a noise machine:

If I Could

Answer
Titanic
In 1996, Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) and his team of "Treasure Hunters/Grave Robbers" come to the shipwreck of the Titanic, searching for the priceless diamond known as "The Heart of the Ocean. Lovett and his team send a robot submersible into the wreck. The robot goes into a tattered bedroom. Lewis Bodine (Lewis Abernathy), a co-worker and friend of Lovett, uses the mechanical arms of the sub to move over furniture to find a safe, their prize.
They come back onto the surface to a boat where the rest of the crew is celebrating the find of the safe. Brock feels around inside the safe for what he is looking for. He finds paper and a sketchbook, nothing else. Back inside of the boat, Lovett's team is analyzing the papers that were found inside the sketchbook. One in particular is a nude portrait of a woman lying on a couch wearing a necklace. Brock realizes that the necklace is the Heart of the Ocean. He checks the date, April 14, 1912 (signed JD), the day of the Titanic's sinking. He realizes whoever the woman in the picture is must know where the diamond is, but unfortunately has no idea who she is or whether or not she's dead or alive.
Meanwhile, in her quiet home, Rose Calvert (Gloria Stuart) is making pottery as her granddaughter Lizzie (Suzy Amis) casually goes about the house, feeding the dogs. The T.V. is heard in the background. It is on the news station and what catches Rose's attention at first is a line said by someone mentioning the Titanic. It shows Brock Lovett as he discusses what he is doing. Rose gets up and listens in. Brock speaks of the care his experts on the ship are taking with what they found in the wreck. They show the picture of the woman and Rose stares in amazement, nearly speechless. Back on the ship, Lovett is helping to launch the submarine into the water once again when he is interrupted by his comrade, Bobby Buell (Nicholas Cascone). Bobby claims that there is a call waiting for him that he will want to take. Brock reluctantly gets on the phone and speaks to the elderly Rose. The first thing Rose has to say is "I was just wondering if you had found The Heart of the Ocean yet, Mr. Lovett?" and he is hooked instantly. He asks whether or not Rose knows who the woman in the picture is and Rose certainly does; she tells him it is her.
The next thing seen is Rose and Lizzie being shipped by a helicopter over to Lovett's boat. Onboard, Brock is being briefed by Lewis on Rose's background. He believes Rose is nothing but a fake, seeking publicity. He describes how the woman Rose claims to be, Rose Dewitt Bukater, died on the Titanic when she was 17, according to records. He has done a background check on the old woman all the way back to the 1920's when she had worked as an actress. Back then her name had been Rose Dawson, not Dewitt Bukater. She later married a man named Calvert and they moved to Cedar Rapids, where they had kids. Still, Brock believes Rose may be who she says. Rose and Lizzie are then seen coming out of the helicopter with their luggage. Rose and Lizzie get set up in their quarters, arranging Rose's pictures beside the bed. Brock asks Rose if she needs anything and her only desire is to see her drawing. Rose goes into the room where everything recovered from the wreck is and sees the portrait in a tank of clear water and closes her eyes, remembering the day it was sketched. We see the hands of a youthful man sketching the drawing for the first time. We then see his blue eyes look up, wisps of blonde hair in his vision... Rose opens her eyes and comes back to reality.
Lovett goes on explaining the origin of the diamond to Rose, describing its color and the famous rulers who wore it. Rose says it was dreadful and heavy. Brock has tracked down the insurance records. He said a man named Caledon Hockley bought this for his fiancé, Rose Dewitt Bukater--her. He believes the diamond went down with the ship. Lovett then shows Rose some of the things recovered from what had once been her stateroom on the Titanic. She sees a silver mirror and a hair clip with a dragonfly on it that she eyes particularly. Brock asks if she's ready to go back to Titanic. Lewis is showing Rose a computer simulation of the Titanic's sinking, describing it as something you would want to be on very badly. Rose remembers the experience as more horrific and Lovett asks if she'll share the experience with them.
Rose stands and sees pictures of two double doors from the wreck, it's ornate wrought-iron window design still intact. She suddenly remembers a time when two men stood there, happy to greet her inside. She begins crying a bit and, thinking she is traumatized by these images, Lizzie suggests that she rest for a while. Rose refuses, and says its been eighty-four long years...but remembers the new ship so well. She begins telling her story: The year is 1912 and the Titanic is seen docked at Southampton, England, roughly ten minutes before its maiden voyage. The world is lively and amaz

Your review on Carlsbad Seapointe Resort in California?

Jennifer S

For those who have been there, whats good and whats bad? how are the rooms?

Answer
This is a wonderful vacation spot!!
Perfect location, helpful staff, across the street from the beach, beach goodies and a wagon available from the activity center, activities for adults and children!!
We had a one bedroom with a full kitchen and a fabulous view.
The location is also marvelous--walking distance to get to the Coaster to get to San Diego, minutes away to get to all kinds of shopping (Costco, outlet mall, restaurants, grocery store, pharmacy, etc...), and freeway close to many attractions--perfect!
The lobby area is also very welcoming with coffee, tea, and fruit for the guests.

BEAUTIFUL VIEW right off Carlsbad Blvd!

I celebrated an early Father's Day / Birthday here last weekend and fell in love with Carlsbad. We had a 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo. it comes with a full kitchen (fridge, stove, dish washer, cookware, silverware and glassware), and a patio facing the ocean. The VIEW from our room was AMAZING! the ocean was mysterious and deep blue, the sun was shiny and warm, the sea breeze was warm and welcoming - everything was so perfect!

The decor of the condo is a little out of date (e.g. pastel wall border stickers & mint color carpet). The bath tub is a little small. Wish there is more than 1 pool table because it is always taken. But these are minor problems and can be fixed easily.

The rate for a 1br / 1ba condo ranges from $239 ~ $359 per night.

I will definitely come back again for special occasions.
I stayed here for a nice get away while staying local. I had a two bedroom with a full kitchen and a little patio that faced the ocean. This is a real nice place. It has a club house, a gym, two pools (one for adults only) and a fun play area for kids that includes a pirate ship and a little water theme area.

It's located right across the 101 from the ocean, so beautiful views! There is no restaurant but since you have a kitchen you can drive across the I-5 to the Costco or down the road to the Ralph's. They also have a basket ball court, tennis courts, pool and ping pong table on the bottom floor.

The only reason this place didn't get a 5 star rating is because my unit was on the back end of the resort which is facing the Coaster train track (a little noisy) and we were situated right next to the club house which is used for weddings on the weekend. And yes, you guessed right, there was a wedding on the Sunday we checked in. It was a little loud.

I also hear that if you are a owner at this timeshare, you can rent the clubhouse for around $100 or $200! That is a steal! The Clubhouse faces the Ocean and the pool area. Nice location for a casual wedding.

So check on their nightly rates if you are coming to the area because this is a pretty good location. I called the front desk to get an idea of rates and I was told the nightly rate can range from $239 a night during spring and upwards of $300 during peak season. But considering this is for a 2bd/2bath, full kitchen, ocean view, that is pretty good. Across from the ocean, minutes from the freeway, one exit from the Carlsbad Outlet Mall and down the 101 from the quaint little town of Carlsbad.
I stayed here in July of 2009 with my two little girls, ages 3 and 6. We had a one bedroom condo, so they slept on the sleeper sofa and I got my own bed. While not luxurious, the accommodations were nice. Perfect for the beach. We had a great view of the ocean from our balcony and a fireplace in the living room. Every morning we would go down to the activity center and pick up a radio flyer wagon, fill it with towels, buckets, and shovels and head off to the beach. My six year old would pull my 3 year old in the wagon across the highway, which sounds scary, but there is a light so it's quite safe. The hotel had events like making snores and a poolside BBQ with live music, at little or no cost. They also offered inexpensive crafts for the kids ($1-$3), and my kids had a great time doing those. I would have come here again this year, but was unable to trade my timeshare, and this year we're at the Grand Pacific Palisades Resort, which is okay, but I prefer the Seapointe.

The next thing seen is Rose and Lizzie being shipped by a helicopter over to Lovett's boat. Onboard, Brock is being briefed by Lewis on Rose's background. He believes Rose is nothing but a fake, seeking publicity. He describes how the woman Rose claims to be, Rose Dewitt Bukater, died on the Titanic when she was 17, according to records. He has done a background check on the old woman all the way back to the 1920's when she had worked as an actress. Back then her name had been Rose Dawson, not Dewitt Bukater. She later married a man named Calvert and they moved to Cedar Rapids, where they had kids. Still, Brock believes Rose may be who she says. Rose and Lizzie are then seen coming out of the helicopter with their luggage. Rose and Lizzie get set up in their quarters, arranging Rose's pictures beside the bed. Brock asks Rose if she needs anything and her only desire is to see her drawing. Rose goes into the room where everything recovered from the wreck is and sees the portrait in a tank of clear water and closes her eyes, remembering the day it was sketched. We see the hands of a youthful man sketching the drawing for the first time. We then see his blue eyes look up, wisps of blonde hair in his vision... Rose opens her eyes and comes back to reality.
Lovett goes on explaining the origin of the diamond to Rose, describing its color and the famous rulers who wore it. Rose says it was dreadful and heavy. Brock has tracked down the insurance records. He said a man named Caledon Hockley bought this for his fiancé, Rose Dewitt Bukater--her. He believes the diamond went down with the ship. Lovett then shows Rose some of the things recovered from what had once been her stateroom on the Titanic. She sees a silver mirror and a hair clip with a dragonfly on it that she eyes particularly. Brock asks if she's ready to go back to Titanic. Lewis is showing Rose a computer simulation of the Titanic's sinking, describing it as something you would want to be on very badly. Rose remembers the experience as more horrific and Lovett asks if she'll share the experience with them.
Rose stands and sees pictures of two double doors from the wreck, it's ornate wrought-iron window design still intact. She suddenly remembers a time when two men stood there, happy to greet her inside. She begins crying a bit and, thinking she is traumatized by these images, Lizzie suggests that she rest for a while. Rose refuses, and says its been eighty-four long years...but remembers the new ship so well. She begins telling her story: The year is 1912 and the Titanic is seen docked at Southampton, England, roughly ten minutes before its maiden voyage. The world is lively and amaz

Your review on Carlsbad Seapointe Resort in California?

Jennifer S

For those who have been there, whats good and whats bad? how are the rooms?

Answer
This is a wonderful vacation spot!!
Perfect location, helpful staff, across the street from the beach, beach goodies and a wagon available from the activity center, activities for adults and children!!
We had a one bedroom with a full kitchen and a fabulous view.
The location is also marvelous--walking distance to get to the Coaster to get to San Diego, minutes away to get to all kinds of shopping (Costco, outlet mall, restaurants, grocery store, pharmacy, etc...), and freeway close to many attractions--perfect!
The lobby area is also very welcoming with coffee, tea, and fruit for the guests.

BEAUTIFUL VIEW right off Carlsbad Blvd!

I celebrated an early Father's Day / Birthday here last weekend and fell in love with Carlsbad. We had a 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo. it comes with a full kitchen (fridge, stove, dish washer, cookware, silverware and glassware), and a patio facing the ocean. The VIEW from our room was AMAZING! the ocean was mysterious and deep blue, the sun was shiny and warm, the sea breeze was warm and welcoming - everything was so perfect!

The decor of the condo is a little out of date (e.g. pastel wall border stickers & mint color carpet). The bath tub is a little small. Wish there is more than 1 pool table because it is always taken. But these are minor problems and can be fixed easily.

The rate for a 1br / 1ba condo ranges from $239 ~ $359 per night.

I will definitely come back again for special occasions.
I stayed here for a nice get away while staying local. I had a two bedroom with a full kitchen and a little patio that faced the ocean. This is a real nice place. It has a club house, a gym, two pools (one for adults only) and a fun play area for kids that includes a pirate ship and a little water theme area.

It's located right across the 101 from the ocean, so beautiful views! There is no restaurant but since you have a kitchen you can drive across the I-5 to the Costco or down the road to the Ralph's. They also have a basket ball court, tennis courts, pool and ping pong table on the bottom floor.

The only reason this place didn't get a 5 star rating is because my unit was on the back end of the resort which is facing the Coaster train track (a little noisy) and we were situated right next to the club house which is used for weddings on the weekend. And yes, you guessed right, there was a wedding on the Sunday we checked in. It was a little loud.

I also hear that if you are a owner at this timeshare, you can rent the clubhouse for around $100 or $200! That is a steal! The Clubhouse faces the Ocean and the pool area. Nice location for a casual wedding.

So check on their nightly rates if you are coming to the area because this is a pretty good location. I called the front desk to get an idea of rates and I was told the nightly rate can range from $239 a night during spring and upwards of $300 during peak season. But considering this is for a 2bd/2bath, full kitchen, ocean view, that is pretty good. Across from the ocean, minutes from the freeway, one exit from the Carlsbad Outlet Mall and down the 101 from the quaint little town of Carlsbad.
I stayed here in July of 2009 with my two little girls, ages 3 and 6. We had a one bedroom condo, so they slept on the sleeper sofa and I got my own bed. While not luxurious, the accommodations were nice. Perfect for the beach. We had a great view of the ocean from our balcony and a fireplace in the living room. Every morning we would go down to the activity center and pick up a radio flyer wagon, fill it with towels, buckets, and shovels and head off to the beach. My six year old would pull my 3 year old in the wagon across the highway, which sounds scary, but there is a light so it's quite safe. The hotel had events like making snores and a poolside BBQ with live music, at little or no cost. They also offered inexpensive crafts for the kids ($1-$3), and my kids had a great time doing those. I would have come here again this year, but was unable to trade my timeshare, and this year we're at the Grand Pacific Palisades Resort, which is okay, but I prefer the Seapointe.

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.

Is it warm enough to wear bathing suits on Oregon beach in July?

jitana

We are planning a trip to Oregon in July. We are concerned that it may be too cold to enjoy the beach. We will stay in Cannon Beach or Seaside. We have small kids 4 and 7.
We would like lodging ideas for something on the beach- yet reasonable if possible

Answer
I've spent a lot of time at Seaside. It is an awesome place to take your family! You'll enjoy the shopping and restraunts as well as the aquarium.

I think you have a little bit of a delusion about the 'beach' there. It is very rarely warm enough to wear a bathing suit at the coast. BUT, you don't have to be in your bathing suit to enjoy the sights and the ocean. There are many very awesome views and hikes, there are lighthouses and lots and lots of treasures to find.

I'm jealous, I wish I could go! : ) Enjoy your trip!! Also, take a look at Netart (spelling?) Bay.... we found a cool little hotel there that had a kitchen and two bedrooms. It wasn't the fanciest place, but it was affordable, and clean, and perfect for our family.

kids bedroom ideas ocean image

Q. We (3 adults and 3 babies) will probably be going to Waikiki to see the sights and shop quite often, but we don't want to stay in Waikiki. I'm looking for a nice vacation condo somewhere close to the beach or mountains and yet driveable to Waikiki since we'll have a car. Any ideas for somewhere safe and peaceful since my 3 boys are very young at 5,2, and 2. We'll be there for about 10days. Thanks!!

Same with metered lots, parking justa problem so know that before you drive to Waikiki, ok?

How should I decorate my kids room a boy and girl 9 and 11?

kids bedroom ideas ocean image

mendy

they both share a room its the master bedroom ...what colors,patterens,divide it into a girl and boys room

Answer
Personally, I think that 9 to 11 is a huge jump, maturity wise, especially with girls. She's probably starting to think about boys and friends and clothes,etc, and the boy is still a "little kid". It's important that you divide the space A: she's on the verge of becoming a teen and needs her own space to have privacy and escape and RELAX (i'm sure they love each other a lot but also get on each other's nerves) & B: once girls and boys start to mature it's better if they have separate bedrooms. You could definately divide the room up in a cool way. You could go to pottery barn for example, or somewhere similar, and buy some sheers with the cable system: (maybe in white or something neutral)
http://www.pbteen.com/products/p2496/?pkey=cwindow-curtains-drapes-sheers
or you could buy some room dividers (like the folding screens)
a "central space" is also an option. (a lounging, hanging out neutral space) Here you could have a pink floor chair and a blue, you could buy a different, more gender neutral rug, buy some girlier lamps for her, some wall decals for him, just mixing and matching. http://www.pbteen.com/gift/thm/thmlng/thmlngffb/
Or you could make their study space on the dividing line. And make it reflect both your little girl and little boy.http://www.pbteen.com/gift/thm/thmstu/thmstusbs/ (of course these are just starting points, you can always change things up)
If you cleanly divided the room, in the center, where the dividing (invisible of course) line is, you could put a couch and a rug and a tv, or their desks and a rug, or a long dresser that has her drawers on one side, his on the other, etc. you get the idea.
Pottery Barn Kids and Pottery Barn Teen are both great magazines that have wonderful ways of decorating rooms. They are also a great way to look for inspiration or cool ways of doing rooms. Take a look at their websites, and call for a catalog to brouse through for ideas. :) www.potterybarnkids.com & www.pbteen.com. Talk to your kids about how they might want their space to look. They each have the'r own preferences, hobbies- maybe she like dancing and he likes the ocean, etc etc. They probably both have great ideas... If you do decide that you just DON'T want divided rooms, you want them to share, take a look at this:
http://www.potterybarnkids.com/stylehouse/decorate/sharingspaces/index.cfm
You could always choose basic furnature, and have each pick out their own bedspreads, rugs, (little things)
Whatever
