Themes for 14 year old bedroom?
Courtney
ok, furniture, decorations, bedspread, paint etc. needed
i need themes! one i wont grow out of, so no beachy and im not sporty either
something unique!
i have limited room space, very small room, and the one of the biggest walls is a window seat, with the three windows looking out, so limited space
storage ideas too
not too expensive
murals could be cool
links and pictures appreciated!!1
thanx to everyone who answers!!
funnily enough aerie, the purple thing is exactly what i have, with cheetah print bedspread and curtains, but i dont really like it, and the antique furniture (yes, i have that to lol) takes up too much room, so i need space savers, but i really think youre ideas are cool(i mean, my bedroom is exactly what you said lol)

well first of all I'm new to this so I'll just go with the flow first of all since its a bedroom your working with you might won't to do the floor if its hard wood or something cold in the winter you might want to get a through rug or area rug there are cheap or expensive it depends where you buy it at.
and then there's paint first you want to know the color there are different places that sell paint.and a cool idea is to work with stencils there are different places where you can get stencils and printings off the internet and even free idea.
you might want to try walmart.com and go to the (for the home)they have bedding/crafts/decor/kids & teen rooms/rugs and storage/organization even window coverings.
and sense your room is small and for a teen you might have a twin bed online at walmart.com they have the bed in a bag sets.
here's a pretty blue striped bed in a bag set.http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10597398

* Bed skirt with 14'' drop
* 20" x 26" sham
* Flat sheet: 66'' x 96''
* Fitted sheet: 39'' x 76''; fits mattress up to 14''D
* Standard pillowcase: 20'' x 30''
and its cheap it only 40.00 dollars but this is just an example they have all different designs I'm just saying bed in a bag sets are cheap
and if its a small enough room you can probable even check your local good will they sometimes have cheap wall borders...
and your local library might also help by giving you free older teen magazines or home and garden magazines with helpful ideas inside...
on about.com just type in teen bedroom design or how to design a teen bedroom or designing on a budget or just look up things online like discount wall borders or discount wall murals or look up teen bedroom themes now days its all about the color so look in some teen magazines and match they color to the wall even if its a color of a t-shirt or a picture of a pair of shoes it the color your looking for and once you find it try working with the color to make your own them if you have to. also try looking up websites with how tos.

What is a good dog for children and a small living space?
VERONICA S
We are moving to a house that is split into 3 units, and we are moving into the one with 3 bedrooms. There is an acre of land, but it's not fenced in. The neighbor below us has two chocolate/black labs. Was thinking about getting a boxer, but open to everyone's ideas and experience!
My children are 2 and a half years and 6 years old. They are boys, so an active dog is what we're looking for. But one that wouldn't mind relaxing every now and then. I had dogs growing up, but not since I've lived away from my parents. The same goes for my husband. In our past we've had american eskimo, collie, mixes(from shelters), so we've definitely been around dogs. We'd like a dog that wants to walk every day as well. The most important part for us is that the dog gets along well with our children.
Answer
the boxer is a GREAT family dog. boxers are VERY, VERY high energy dogs, but it sounds like that will fit very well with what you want. a boxer will go for a walk, play fetch with the kids, play frisbee, and be the funniest & goofiest dog you've ever been around. i think you can tell by now that I'm a big boxer fan. i have two and their personalities crack me up daily.
since you don't have a fenced yard, an electric fence would work well for a boxer. they are very intelligent, so the training process would be quick. electric fences are not cheap, but they are a lot less than an actual fence. if you don't get a fence, electric or otherwise, then you will have to spend significant time with them outside daily. if you can't do that, i would suggest not getting a boxer.
boxers love kids and will be loyal and protective of them. so, you don't have to worry at all about their temperament. if you are a dog lover, a boxer will win you over quickly. they are typically big cuddlers and really crave human interaction.
the main concern you should have is around your younger 2 1/2 yr old child. the boxer will not intentionally hurt your child, but boxers are a high energy dog & built like a mack truck. the boxer may knock over your younger child and hurt him/her by accident. if you supervise the dog when around your children and the boxer gets enough exercise, then you will be fine.
couple of things to know about boxers:
1. they are quite messy eaters and drinkers. the area around their feeding bowls will need some cleaning up after a couple of times a week
2. boxers are gassy. i don't mean they pass gas once a week or so. i mean that they do it pretty regularly and when its bad, whoah, it can knock you off a chair. one of my boxers likes to walk by you and share it with you, then leave. pretty funny the first couple of times, but it gets not so funny pretty quick. :)
3. if you neglect their exercise schedule for more than a few days, they can become demons. a bored boxer will do all the typical "bad dog" things. some chew, some will dig holes, some will whine incessantly, etc...
4. boxers are indoor dogs and do not do well when it is extremely hot or cold. they have short snouts and very short hair. their bodies do not regulate temperature as well as most dogs. depending where you live, you will need to limit their outdoor activity on the cold winter days and hot summer days. btw, their short snout is also the reason they are more gassy than most dogs, they swallow more air when they eat and it has to come out somewhere downstream.
i don't list these things because boxers are bad dogs. i will only own boxers for the rest of my life. i think they are the best dog breed. new boxer owners should be made aware though. also, they are one of the most intelligent breeds. in germany, the only two dog breeds in the police force are boxers and german shepards. oh, and they are also very clean dogs, require very little bathing and don't have as much of a "dog smell" as most other breeds. that along with their hilarious personality, loyalty, and intelligence makes them the best in my book.
