MyHeartIsI

Silly question because its a matter of opinion, I know.
But I love baseball and really want to have a vintage themed feel to my bedroom
Is that childish? My mom says so, but I found a lot of DIY ideas that would be really cute for it. =]
Just want some opinions lol
*baseball vintage themed bedroom*

Answer
Your bedroom is your sanctuary so you should have a space that you love and feel comfortable in. If baseball makes you happy then go for it.

Go to Pinterest and type in the top left search bar:
baseball decor
vintage baseball
baseball bedroom theme

Hopefully you might get some more ideas for your theme.

How can I make my room cuter with common household items?

devin

I am trying to get lots of DIY tips and things to decorate my room, but I have no money! I'm a teen girl with a pink and purple bedroom, and a bunk bed, if that helps for decor ideas.

THANKS!

Answer
1. Hang some pictures or photos on your walls in cheap frames. If you group 3 - 8 frames together it can look very nice.

2. A vase of flowers or a small pot plant can add something cute to any room.

3. A new cushion or bed sheets can also make the room look nice.

4. Display your books etc on a nice set of shelves or a book case.

If you have a look on some home decorating web sites for bedroom ideas I am sure you will get some nice ideas to use. Good luck :)

Here are 2 web sites I love looking at:

How can I get a surfer style bedroom?

kids bedroom decor online 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:

My children destroyed a life sized tree sticker that was on their bedroom wall, where can I find another?

Crazygurl1

When we bought our home, the previous owners had a large life sized tree sticker or maybe wallpaper type decoration stuck on the wall and added fake leaves to it that stick out - my children tore it down, where can I find such a sticker or type of walllpaper again?

Answer
Hi there,
Lots of places now carry these great decals or stencils for your walls.

I think the Urban Outfitters (cool site for great room decor!)
one is super neat!
http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp;jsessionid=4FA3E2B9B697D823B3F18FF3AC8BAFA0.app12-node3?itemdescription=true&itemCount=10&id=13981998&parentid=A_FURN_WALL_DECALS&sortProperties=+product.marketingPriority,-product.startDate&navCount=56&navAction=poppushpushpush&color=00

This would be a good way to have a tree that the kids could not tear. Stenciling is actually not really difficult at all.
there are good resources online to show you how it's done.
Even if you're not an artist, it's pretty simple!


Or if you want a decal try:

Just to name a couple. Google "vinyl wall art", or "tree wall decals" to get more options.

Anything but green or blue

How can i get over my fear of being severely injured in a car crash?

kids bedroom sets under 300 image

Jet

It scares me :(

not driving is not an option

Answer
The rules to cutting your fear pretty much have to do
with increasing your ability TO HAVE TIME
TO REACT and to react correctly given the situation.
So -- time, and confidence are areas to tackle.

To increase your time, you HAVE TO allow for
MORE of it. That means starting out with MORE!
Very simple. If you are always rushing to get
somewhere, you need to examine your commitments
and cut where you are over-booking yourself.
It can be done more than most people think.
FIND WAYS NOT TO HAVE TO DRIVE, OR NOT
TO HAVE TO DRIVE AS OFTEN, TO DO THE
SAME TASK!! Do banking online, mail bills,
or pay by phone, cut back to one "errand day"
a week (Thursday is a good one, if you can
manage it.) Stay OFF the roads as much as
possible during rush hours.

FIND "TIME TRICKS" to help you. For years and
years, the clock in my bedroom was set 15 minutes
LATER than the real time, and my watch, and the
clock in my car were both set 5 minutes late.
I was almost never late anywhere.

If you shop a lot, stop. If you visit a lot, call or email,
if your kids are always needing rides, ask yourself
why that is... if you or they are involved in too many
activities, either scale them back. or arrange other transportation. Carpool, in other words.
Buddy driving is good as well. If you have
a bff and you trust their driving -- let them drive
one time, you the next... If you REALLY feel comfortable
with someone's driving, pay attention, find out why
and teach yourself that behavior. Maybe they are
always 5 miles under the speed limit, or pick a
particular lane and stick with it, or both! Maybe it's
the music they prefer to listen to, or the way they
watch the traffic in front of them.Ask a couple questions. Never stop learning ways to improve your own driving "pleasure".

Next, now that you have some time, CUT YOUR SPEED! That is a priority!! Never exceed the speed limit, and if possible, drive a bit under it. You may not get where
you are going as fast, but you will have less stress,
and probably save gas, and avoid tickets and points on your license, thus keeping your insurance costs down as well.
It's a win-win-win. SPEED KILLS. Absolutely true.

I would suggest having a very thorough eye exam
by an OPHTHALMOLOGIST. Be prepared to PAY
big money for this. My visit is about $300.00 every 3 years.
If you are sure that you can see as well as possible,
YOUR driving will not worry you as much.
Won't be much help with concern over other people's driving, but, at least you can be sure of your seeing what they are doing.. I suggest this because the most terrified person
I know turned out to be blind in one eye, which meant she had no depth perception whatsoever, peripheral vision on just one side and so on... That sure explained a whole lot!! Like why she thought cars that were turning 3 BLOCKS
away had "cut us off " right in front of us, freaking her out all the time-- to the point where, sometimes, her preferred place in the vehicle was curled up in a ball on the back seat!!

Also, keep a pair of medium tint polarized sunglasses accessible in your vehicle. Your eyes get a lot of sun exposure and glare exposure when you drive --
sun bouncing off chrome, glass, metal and paints
is vicious bad for your eyes. Besides, sunglasses
are great to have on hand to help with "seeing through"
a daylight "WHITE-OUT" driving rainstorm as well.
(I live in Florida, where we get those FREQUENTLY!!)

Make sure you have your vehicle's braking system
thoroughly and regularly checked out by a ASE certified, Master Auto Tech at least once a year. That includes
the master cylinder, pedal, e-brake, pads, discs, fluid, hydraulics, ABS, and the rest of the system...
If you have confidence that you can
stop your vehicle, you will feel a bit more secure.

Along with your brakes, you must always
be sure your TIRES are in very good condition,
of course, because bald tires won't help you stop,
especially on wet surfaces, even if your brakes are in excellent shape.

Lastly, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS
KEEP YOUR DISTANCE!!! -- significant distance,
and don't crowd anyone on the highway, or let them
crowd you...If someone is speeding, tailgating,
weaving, doing a lot of risky lane changing, or
talking on their cell, texting, boogieing to their stereo,
eating, or carrying on a visually "active"conversation
with passengers --- they ARE NOT giving their
driving their full attention. LET THEM BY YOU,
and drop back to your preferred distance.

Distance is DOUBLY CRUCIAL if you are sharing
the road with BIG RIGS!! A loaded big rig has trouble stopping in less than the distance OF AN ENTIRE FOOTBALL FIELD, END-ZONES INCLUDED
without great risk! It's pure physics, and in wet
conditions, they need EVEN MORE room, just as
you do!! DO NOT CUT IN FRONT
OF BIG RIGS INSIDE THIS DISTANCE!!!
Also -- They cannot see you
if you are in their HUGE blind spots
ON EITHER SIDE of the truck! STAY OUT OF THERE!!

Drive A LITTLE BIT like a sharp grandma --
She got there for a reason!! :D
(wink, wink!)

Luxury Apartments or Town Homes in el paso Texas?

Inlove

My husband is currently in the Army, and we are being PCS'd to Fort Bliss El Paso Texas. We are expecting our first child, so we are looking for move into a town home or luxury apartment, 2-3 bedrooms, nothing more then 1100 a month. We prefer a place that is newer, with good reviews. Can anyone help??

Answer
My name is Nichole Williams-Dixon! My husband and I are moving to El Paso Tx on April 24th 2011. We are moving to this Military commuity called Van Horne Estates. It is a 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment 980 square feet for $795.00 a month. This is brand new and is 10 minutes away from Fort Bliss. They also have allotments so they can split the rent up in 2 payments 1st and 15th.

My husabnd and I are comming from a 4 bedroom house in Georgia so everything is going in storage. This community has a swimming pool, kids playground, tennis court and other amentites. It is an all Military!

what you have to understand is that we have access to the base, so many of your amentites are there and you don't have to get that in an apartment

Below is the correspondance that I was sent: You can call me at 678-431-7412

Hi Nicole,

It was a pleasure speaking with you this Morning! Here is the info we talked about. Like I said we do specialize in Military housing. One major perk that we offer is that we will set up an allotment for you, which means you never have to worry about late fees and instead of having to write one big check the first of every month, your rent will be taken out of your husbands paycheck half on the 15th and half on the 1st which makes for easier budgeting.

We are a brand new community currently being developed and we are now pre-leasing for the end of May and later. So you would be the very first person to live in your new apartment. Brand new carpet, appliances, everything! Our 2 bedroom 1 bath apartments start at $795 - $805 a month. These 2 bedroom apartments are on the 2nd and 3rd floor, the price difference is because the $795 homes are on the interior and $805 are the exterior apartments (corner apartments) which means a little more privacy and some extra windows. Our 2 bedrooms on the 1st floor are $860 for an interior apartment and $870 for the exterior apartments. There are washer and dryer connections on ALL 1st floor apartments and laundry facilities on the 1st and 3rd floor of each building. We will pay for your water, sewer and trash leaving you only with the electric!

The community itself will have two parks complete with picnic areas, BBQ grills and Playground areas. We will also have a volleyball swimming pool for the HOT summer days :) We are a pet friendly community! We do have some breed and weight restrictions but your Maltese would be more than welcome with us. We do ask for a non-refundable pet registration fee for EACH pet of $300 and a $30 a month pet fee added to your monthly rent.

We DO have a website, here you can view photos of our property under construction, what our apartments will look like once completed and also download all of the necessary Pre-Lease Paperwork. To Pre-Lease all you would need is to apply with the $25 application fee and a Pre-Lease fee of $200 would hold the apartment for you: VanHorneEstates!

The security deposit ranges from $99 to One Months Rent, and that is based on a combination of your employment, rental and credit history.

I would also like to mention that we do require all residents to have renters insurance to protect your personal belongings and to protect all of our residents. We can provide it for you or you have the option of adding that to your current insurance policy or through USAA.

I know size and storing your household goods is a concern, so here is also the link to the Storage facility just up the street from our community. Like I said, they provide our residents with one month free rent and offer great military discounts, http://www.suncity-selfstorage.com/. Please feel free to call me or email me anytime with questions about our community, the post or El Paso :)

Moving to Switzerland from America?

kids bedroom sets calgary image

Jacob

When I was young I believed America used to be the best, is the best, and will always be the best country in the whole world. Growing up I am quickly realizing that America is going down the toilet with crazy socialist, corrupt government, and lazy bums that just want welfare. If I don't go to college I am planning on moving to Switzerland and I would like to know if that's a good idea? Do they have any weird crazy laws? Is it easy to get a job there? Health care? Please answer :)

Answer
Hate to be a downer bud but when you speak of 'crazy socialist' and 'welfare'... fact is most of the most advanced countries in the world have what many in the USA categorize as 'socialist' welfare programs.

Take Canada for example, The International magazine 'The Economist' recently judged 140 cities and three Canadian cities ended up in the top five. Another international think tank deems Canada as the best G20 country to be a woman... yet we have healthcare, government subsidies and welfare programs a plenty.
That's a huge part of why many think such countries are top ranked.

Define 'crazy laws'
No special interest group laws like granting gays or lesbians or Jews or Muslims or Sikhs etc etc special privileges?
Counties like Canada have no such laws - the true expression of freedom. Intolerance for any reason is frowned upon and the government couldn't careless about your love-life or bedroom. Gay marriage, totally legal here. What do we care how people live their lives [as long as kids aren't involved in a bad way]

"Policies that promote gender equality, safeguards against violence and exploitation and access to healthcare make Canada the best place to be a woman among the world's biggest economies, a global poll of experts showed on Wednesday."
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/06/13/us-g20-women-idUSBRE85C00420120613

Three Canadian cities are among the world's top five most livable cities. The survey ranks 140 cities based on a number of factors, including health care, stability, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. Vancouver was the highest-ranked Canadian city, coming in third with an overall score of 97.3; Toronto came in fourth at 97.2; and Calgary tied for fifth place with Adelaide, Australia, at 96
http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/1242459--economist-magazine-ranks-toronto-vancouver-calgary-among-world-s-top-5-most-livable-cities

Last issue - most countries including the USA wouldn't accept anyone as an immigrant without say, college or some professional skill.

A thought. You love the USA, so you should - great country.
Why go all the way across the world dude? Study in Canada, give a country with the same things your looking for in Switzerland a shot. Like it, awesome. Don't like it, the change of heart is only a drive across the border away.

"More than 90,000 students come to study in Canada every year and even more come to Canada to learn English or French. Foreign students bring a rich culture to our classrooms. Your knowledge and skills are welcome in our schools."
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/index.asp

Canadian economy - terrific. Things cost more here than in the USA - but them again Canadians on average earn more. Inflation was down this month. Jobs are out there [I have 3 lol]

Food for thought perhaps.

Heart set on Switzerland, here's their Immigration site:

Best of luck regardless of which way the wind blows :)

Living Standards in Ontario, Canada ?

techguy

Ok, here's the deal...
I would like to repatriate to Canada (I was born there but moved to Europe when I was a kid) I haven't experienced the Canadian life, so I would like some honest and optimistic advice from people living in Ontario. My wife and I would like to move there next year. We don't have children yet, so we figured now would be the right time to relocate. My only concern is finding work... this really worries me. I told my wife that I would go alone first, as I could lodge with my relatives while I find work, and a place to rent. She would then follow with our two dogs. We'll have $28,000 for backup. We're hoping we won't need to use that money as we were saving for a down payment towards our own home. I work as a computer technician/systems administrator for a company of 30 users. I have CompTIA A+ and MCSA (No formal education, except high school, and some college) Would I be able to find work in this field in Toronto or surrounding areas? I don't think my wife would have a problem finding a job. She would do something in sales, or work as a receptionist. We're both eager to work... Where we live now, we go from paycheque to paycheque, with very little money left at the end of the month. How are the living expenses in the GTA? Do you think we could get by with our salaries? I would need to get a car, and I know car insurance is expensive for new drivers. We don't expect to start off with a luxury car and a four bedroom house. We will most likely rent for a year until we get the feel of thing's. After that, I guess we would like to buy a 2-3 bedroom bungalow. It would make this whole process easier if I secured a job before moving there, but don't companies prefer to take the easier route of hiring people who are within driving distance, and not a plane ride away? Where are the best places to search for work in this instance? What tips could you give me to ensure our success in Canada? We don't want to set ourselves up for failure. I know many people that have moved abroad without doing research, and act alarmed when they see thing's weren't how they imagined them to be. We have vacationed in Canada several times, and loved the climate, and people etc.
I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

Answer
I am in Alberta. We have lots of jobs in Calgary and around oil sands projects. Ontario is doing really bad these days. Lots of jobs being lost. I recommend you do a search on online job sites before you move here. At this moment, the best jobs opportunities can be found in Alberta and B.C.

Since you have experience in the area of work, I strongly recommend Alberta or B.C.

I wish you all the best!

How should I decorate my boys room?

jungle themed bedroom image

Q. I have a 8, 3 and 3 month old in the same bedroom. I want to move but the 3 bedroom apt are full and we can't afford a house right now.

Answer
A decorating theme is a great way to begin decorating a room for a child. If you're like most parents, you've probably spent lots of time thinking about decorating your new child's room even before he joined your family. While bunnies are cute and teddy bears are darling, you might want something different for the bedroom or playroom.

There are lots of great themes for boys' rooms. A special theme will provide both the focus and the inspiration for a special one-of-a-kind room and can be adapted as your child grows. Time to get started!

Bug's Life
From bees and ants to frogs and reptiles, creatures of nature often capture a child's attention. Browse theme ideas at Posh Tots including a Bug Off Table and Chair Set, Bug bed linens, and or frog lamp.

Favorite Animals
What boy wouldn't love a room focusing on his favorite pet? Whether it's a dog or cat, bird or snake, using this theme will make your son (and his pet) feel particularly at home. Be sure to put up lots of pictures with your son and his best friend around the room and make sure you have stuffed animals scattered everywhere.

Playhouse / Playtown
This theme will provide a wonderful scheme for decorating your son's room and provide lots of wonderful playtime possibilities as well. A whimsical or the cute playtown chest can be your starting point. Or, do a border in kids designs or paint a mural of a street scene on one or more walls. Name the storefronts for family members ("Katie's Groceries", "Ted's Puppet Theatre", "Todd's Bike Shop", "Anne's Pet Heaven", "Sara's Video Den", or Dennis' Book Nook").

Safari
For a safari look, find wonderful, colorful animal wallpaper borders and fabrics at any wallpaper store. Paint the walls blue, tan, ivory, or any of the colors in your wallpaper border. Make pillows and valances from coordinating leopard-print fabrics, and find some stuffed lions and tigers for the corner. Mount a butterfly net, binoculars, or straw hat on the walls. Use colorful matboard and frame some of your child's artwork to display. Maybe he'll draw some lions!

Rustic Cabin
Most every child loves spending time at camp or in the mountains. And what parent doesn't have happy childhood memories of hiking, boating, fishing, or just enjoying the outdoors. Birdhouses, bears, moose, and fish might show up in wallpaper borders, in fabrics, bedding, and accessories. For a rustic room you might also choose comfy plaid patterns, flannel fabrics, and log or pine beds. Accessories might use forest themes of animals, mountain scenes, or natural materials such as pine cones, leaves, and sticks. Take another cue from camp and use a sturdy trunk to store toys. With a room this nice, who needs a vacation?

Rain Forest
Choose a colorful jungle border, or try a jungle area rug. Soft fabric snakes and colorful stuffed birds or butterfly cutouts can add to the decor. Make pillows of animal or jungle prints and use themed accessories. Grrr!

Race Cars
With car racing, you think black and white checkered flags, and a finish line. Find an area rug with a car track design. A car bed might be fun, or decorate the walls with a car wall appliques. Add some framed calendar photos or posters of race cars, and put up narrow shelving to display car collections. Zoom!

Outer Space
Take a trip to the stars using a space theme. An Apollo bed set, outerspace border, or star-studded rocking chair might be just the items that inspires your child to reach for the stars. Paint reflective planets or stars on the ceiling in arrangements of the constellations.

Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines
If Dad is in the service, you might let your boy feel patriotic with a room painted in camouflage and outfitted with tanks and desert colors.

Sports
From soccer to baseball to football, sports is a theme that spans the generations. To use a baseball theme for example, use a headboard made from bats, hang curtains from bats used as curtain rods, make a baseball lamp, or hang shelving to display gloves, pennants, and trophies. Paint the room in the colors of your son's favorite team. Sports themed rugs, furniture, and beds are another possibility. Create similar looks for other sports, and you'll have a room that is a big "hit" with sports fans. Play ball!

Wild Colors
Go wild by starting with a lively area rug designed in fun colors for a child. Take your cue from the rug for colors and designs for the rest of the room. Use color everywhere! Paint every surface of a bookcase a different color, and do the same with headboard slats, drawer fronts, and chair legs. This is a great way to help your little one learn his colors! Find a fabric to compliment the rug and use it to tie the room together with window valances or floor pillows.

Movie or Cartoon Characters
There's something for everyone in this theme! Whether your son has been captivated by Mickey Mouse, Alladin, Lion King, Toy Story, or Scooby Doo -- you'll probably be able to find bedding, lamps, and other decorative items that use these themes. Towels for the bathroom and toys will be easy to add.

Pirates
The story of Peter Pan can inspire creative parents to design a wonderful room. Boys intrigued by the notion of pirates will love a room using blue ocean themes, ship masts, portholes, netting, treasure boxes, and secret play hideaways.

Knights and Castles
Artistic parents can faux paint castle walls, murals, and blue skies for a truly memorable room. Use the theme of "A Sword in the Stone" or "Camelot" for inspiration. Find another take on this theme offered by for Mercy's Sake in their Galahad collection.

Trains, Planes, and Automobiles
There are lots of colorful choices in bedding, fabrics, and wallpaper that feature transportation themes. Make a train track border around the room, hang airplanes from the ceiling, or go wild with a car-shaped bed.

Cowboy Kids
This is a fun theme where you can let your imagination run wild. Think bandana valances, chaps wall hangings, tin stars, horses, rope borders, and more. The baby dude designs offered by for Mercy's Sake offer some fun possibilities. Or check out OliveKids.com Camp Wilderness or the Wild West theme designs from PoshTots.com for more creative examples of this theme and products to add to your decor.

Dinosaurs
From cute and stylized to realistic and ferocious -- dinosaurs themes are still popular. If you suspect this is a passing phase for your little one, then opt for solid color bedding and walls, using theme elements in borders, sheets, valances, and posters.

How could I decorate my bathroom in like a rain forest theme?

heavensent

I would also like any help on how to do my bedroom. I am wanting a jungle theme in there.

Answer
plush brown area rug, bamboo shower curtain, themed soap, lotion, towel bar, etc. you could paint trees on the walls starting with dark green and brown to represent further back in the forest and lighter colors on top of those to show closer trees. make the trees encroach on the ceiling and paint the center of the ceiling bright sky blue.
I think a stone sink basin would be a nice touch...

Ideas on how to turn a basement into a little place for kids?

kids bedroom sets desks image

supermommy

I was thinking on creating different spaces for them. A kitchen/dining room, living room, office, and possibly a bedroom area. I was thinking of dividing the "rooms" with king size sheets, hung in a neat manner. Our basement isn't finished or anything (drywall/paint, etc) but is in good enough shape to have a little fun with it. I don't know if I am allowed to paint or put anything on the floor (except carpet...not tacked down) And ideas, thoughts, tips? It doesn't have to be perfect....my little ones are just happy to have a place to play. Budget is small~creativity is limitless. THANKS!

Answer
A table or old desk for a craft area. Then hang baskets or an old shoe organizer to put craft materials in:glue, paint, brushes, crayons, markers, scissors, glitter, stickers,etc.

Old file cabinet painted a funky color to hold materails like paper and finished projects. you can also hang a clothes line for them to clip paintings on to dry and to display finished works of art!

Maybe in one area, you could put a bunch of thick blankets and floor pillows down for a cozy pallet/nest to nap on.

Not sure how old your kids are or if they are boys/girls, but you could have an area with books, and puzzles, another make believe area with dress up stuff and "props" (umbrella, old high heels, old halloween wigs, feather boa, purses)... I loved to play "kitchen" when I was littel. If they have a play kitchen then when you run out of food, save the boxes/jars/containers for them to play "kitchen" with. Any old plastic dishes you don't use anymore... or if they don't have a kitchen, 2 chairs and table will work! A big box or set of shelves can hold the "food".


Lots of mirrors since I doubt the basement has many windows...Let the kids create the art and frame it in an old frame and decorate with those! You can even create with them and hang your work on the wall too!

I want to dispose my used furniture to make room for new furniture for my kids. Can u suggest something?

shakhi

I have two bedrooms for my kids. One is a queen set with a chest & dresser mirror, and other one is a twin bunkbed with a dresser mirror and a study desk.

Answer
Either try and sell it on Craigslist or donate it to a thrift store, preferably one who's profits go to a charity instead of money wanting Value Village. If you know someone with kids who would like your furniture, you could also offer it to them.

I need ideas on decorating my childrens bedroom, problem is it has to be unisex I have 2 boys and a girl.?

boys bedroom decorating ideas sports image

5nHubby

I need ideas quick I have 2 boys and a girl, my baby girl is 1 and will be 2 so we didn't want to put her in her own room just yet. I was thinking of dividing the room in half, but how can I decorate it without doing Sponge Bob who is unisex. Any unisex character theme ideas out there help me out.

Answer
Why cartoon characters? Kids interests change so fast, you'll be redecorating before you know it. Besides, why push commercialism on kids that small? Try something more generic...like a beach theme, with a lighthouse and a boat...that sort of thing. Or an aquarium. All kids like fish. And who's to say what is "for boys" and "for girls"? You could easily do a sports themed room, or a cowboy/cowgirl room.

Where can I find different ideas for soccer bedding for boys?

How to hang a curtain behind a bedroom door?

bedroom eyes photos image

Kitty

I have a horrid lack of privacy in my bedroom, people barge in without any notice whatsoever, and since my computer faces the door, I would like to have an extra instant of privacy to close my laptop so people can't look over my shoulder and see what I'm doing, because honestly, it's none of their business. I want to hang a curtain behind my bedroom door so that if people simply barge in, I can do whatever is necessary to hide my personal things from prying eyes. My question is, exactly how would one go about doing this?

Answer
Put a lock on your door for petes sake! I cannot believe the number of people who post similar Qs here,is there no respect for privacy in your country? No-one in my household or any Australian household that I know would dare open a closed door without knocking first.You can buy those little bolt type locks in hardware stores cheap.Like the one below.They are easy to install.

Are baby brown recluse spiders on the bedroom wall harmful?

Tina

I see a baby spider crawling on the wall. I'm so scared OMG! The mother brown recluse spider must be in my room somewhere. I need to get rid of the male and female pests before they starting mating and making babies in my bedroom. I just noticed there are spiders in my bedroom every month that I see spiders. I see baby spiders and kill them at least once a month. Sometimes I'd buy bugspray and those spiders just come back reproducing more brown recluses.

Answer
First, brown recluse spiders are 'reclusive'. They are very seldom spotted. Once in a while,during mating season, you may spot an adult male wandering on or at floor level, but no females or spiderlings.(they almost never climb walls)
The recluse is only found in a region of south central US,and if you don't live there, you wont find any recluse. Because of the hyperbole, a great many people report or claim to have seen recluse spiders where they don't even exist. One spider that is often mistaken for the recluse,is as harmless as they come, the male southern house spider:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/32083154@N02/3710691068/in/photostream
Before people run around nuking harmless spiders, they should confirm the identity of the spiders they are spotting.
People that actually live with these spiders get a laugh at all the fuss over these spiders.
Here's a map of where they are found, no red-no recluse.
http://spiders.ucr.edu/images/colorloxmap.gif
and the recluse itself. note the violin pattern. 6 eyes in 3 pairs.

What kind of toy chest should I buy?

kids bedroom sets walmart image

Jellybean

Any recommendations? pictures?

I've looked on Walmart and Target's websites and I don't know whether to get a nice wood toy chest or a little tikes plastic one.

Thanks!

Answer
I agree with New Momma. For a family/entertaining area, a wood chest would look nicer.
My daughter's room had a nice wooden chest that went with her bedroom set. I figured when she outgrew toys, it would be good for storage or maybe a hope chest. It turned out to be great for storing out-of-season clothes, blankets etc.
My son's room had a particle board toy chest. It had sliding doors painted with green chalkboard paint, and went with the Ninja Turtle theme he had in his room at the time. We couldn't really repurpose it when he grew, but it was relatively inexpensive and he loved it.
I'll give you a tip I learned from my son. Small action figures and Hot Wheels will always find their way to the bottom of the toy chest. My son had to take everything out to find them. For Christmas the next year, he asked me for something easier to put small things in to keep them organized. I came across a small 3-tier stacking bin on wheels. It was in bright, primary colors, and he could roll it in and out of his closet to save space in his small room. He could put Hot Wheels in one bin, action figures in another, and Legos in the other. It worked perfectly, and he loved it! So consider some sort of bin system if your child has small toys like these.
Other than that, it's just a matter of preference, and what works with your decor and household. Little Tykes is undeniably durable, and made for kids, so it would work well. Any chest will serve the purpose, just make sure the lid is not too heavy, is hinged in such a way so that it won't slam shut on little fingers or pinch them, and stays open while they are rooting around in there. Your child's toys are likely to outgrow the toy bin, so don't be afraid to repurpose plastic laundry baskets for the excess. They are lightweight, work magnificently, can be easily carried from room-to-room, and shoved into a closet out of sight when not in use.
Hope these suggestions help!

Where's a place where I can find cute teen bedroom decor for a cheap price?

gen

I'm looking for basically everything: bedding, beds, desks, chairs, dressers, accessories, ect. I LOVE all the furniture from PB Teen, but it's all so expensive. I think I might try ebay or amazon or some site like that. Do you know any other good sites?

Answer
I love IKEA for kids bedrooms, but being the time of year that it is and that you are looking for a room for a teen, I would check out Target. With kids going back to school and going to college I've noticed some great deals on bedding sets, with cooresponding organization items. I have bought things on Walmart.com for my sons room as well, I just purchased a nice headboard, dresser and side table from Walmart.com and had it shipped site to store and it cost me around $259 total with tax. They had a matching desk, but I didn't get it because we have an office in our house.

What website and/or store would i go to for sale furniture?

kids bedroom sets on sale image

cligrl102

I need sale furniture that's kid proof. Can anyone help?

Answer
With the advent of disposable furniture from famous brands like Ikea and the like, poor quality seems to be accepted as normal. It is not normal, necessary, or environmentally responsible. A properly made bedroom set should last a lifetime. Go to any antique exhibition and you will see sets that are hundreds of years old. Mission furniture, which originated in Great Britain, is still made to last a lifetime. There is wide verity to choose from at www.barnfurnituremart.com
Authentic Mission style furniture also known as Arts and Crafts furniture is a timeless choice. When it is made using the traditional methods that make it, truly authentic it is a bulletproof choice. You will have something that will last and last. Many stores sell Mission Style furniture that is not made in the traditional way using solid oak. Instead, they use what they call solid wood. That is code for particleboard. Baloney IS meat. The Barn Furniture sells Mission furniture built with the traditional methods in a multitude of price ranges
If you plan on only keeping your furniture for 1 to 5 years and treat your furniture with kid gloves Ikea may be a good choice, however, ask anyone that has had Ikea furniture for a while or attempted to move it. It tends to auto destruct upon moving. Those cam lock type assembly hardware just don't like to be moved. What makes it fairly inexpensive is what makes it poor quality. The whole thing is about freight and warehouse space. This should NOT YOUR PROBLEM. In my humble opinion, virtually all assemble yourself furniture is inferior quality mostly made of particleboard filled with formaldehyde.

How much did it cost for your to furnish your place?

Dora

I'm wondering how much it would cost to furnish a 3 bedroom, 2000 sq. ft home. We're planning to buy all new furniture.

How much did it cost for you, and what furniture stores did you go to? Do you have a lot of hand-me-downs? Please include how many bedrooms you have and/or square footage.

Answer
Furnishing you home can be very expensive. I have a 1200 sq. ft home with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Furnishing the living room and the bedroom were the most expensive. These two rooms cost approximately $1500/room to furnish. All our furniture came from Rooms to Go. I waited on sales and discounts before making any big purchases. The kids room and guest room were less expensive to furnish. These rooms were less expensive because we didn't buy room packages and purchased the neccesities, such as just the bed and dresser or nightstand (s). The kids room and guest room cost approximately $800/room. Furnishings for these rooms came from Ikea. The dining room cost approximately $400. The dining room set came from the Room Store. I waited for sales and discounts before making any purchases here too. Most furniture stores have a family and friends day were they give the customer 10 to 20 percent off their products. Use the 10 to 20 percent coupon on a day when there is also a sale. You could save 200 to 500 dollars on furniture. Also, ask for free delivery specials; paying for delivery can get expensive. Note: When buying furniture packages, make sure the price is less than buying the pieces seperate. I found an error in a package price where the package price was more than if I bought the prices seperate. I saved myself an extra $100.

As far as hand me downs, I do not have any. However if you have old living furniture such as sofas, chairs, or loveseats, you can go to a furniture upholstery store or outlet and have you living furniture revamped in the style you want at a cost lower than buying new furniture. Your furniture will be custom.

What are the best electric guitars for a budget?

kids bedroom sets under 500 image

The Frizzl

I was thing about raising some money and buying a new guitar, around the $350-500 price range, (I am a kid) and then getting a good amp for $100-270. Please suggest what to get, I am a beginner, and already have a Squier Fat Strat. (I don't like it much)
I was thinking: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/PRS-Guitars-SE-EG-Electric-Guitar?sku=511962 - PRS for $400 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Limted-Edition-Special-II-Deluxe-?sku=519385 Epiphone LP Limited Edition Special II Deluxe- $150 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Les-Paul-Standard-Plus-Top-Electric-Guitar?sku=518341 Epiphone LP Standard plus Top $400
or http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Les-Paul-Standard-and-Amp-Pack?sku=513157 Epihone LP Standard w/Amp
I don't want a Fender, that's why I showed mostly Epis. I have no idea what to get for an amp, I already have a cheap Fender Frontman 15G amp, and its not good for distortion. I'll be practicing in bedroom so not 2 loud.
Any other suggestions for a guitar or amp please say so and show a link.
I know Squier's a cheap version of Fender!!! i already said that!

Answer
First of all, let's talk amps... And I'm using Musicians Friend as the source, ok? ( I get most of my stuff from them. )

#482272 - Line 6 Spider III 75 - $299.00

Here's why I like this amp, and own one. I live in a mobile home, which doesn't give you a ton of room to work with. So I don't need stacked amps, ok? This particular amp has presets that give you the same settings as some of the popular guitarists from popular groups. There are something like 250 artist presets, and 150 song presets. And you can set up your own, of course. But I'll let you read that for yourself, the site gives really good details on it. I can tell you, the amp is powerful, it makes my cat run for it's life. But it's not too overpowering that it's going to get you thrown out of the house by your folks. I really love this amp, it kicks butt. But go see for yourself. Oh, you can plug headphones into it, so you won't disturb anyone. Thought of that? I do, so I won't disturb my G/F while she watches TV. You can also plug an MP3 player into it, if I recall.

I personally own the Epiphone Les Paul Standard. Some people are gonna whine and say, "It's not a Gibson". Tell them to stuff it. Here's the main difference. Gibson uses rare woods from Honduras on their guitars, and the guitar is made by American labor in Nashville, TN. An Epiphone is made with standard mahogany, and built under Gibson quality control, overseas. It's the same guitar, for the most part, it's just not as fancy. The sound is practically the same. I can't tell them apart. I got mine from MF, and it's a beautiful instrument. It's powerful, has great tone, workmanship is excellent, and it tuned right up out of the box. Who could ask for more? I loved this guitar so much, I sold my Strat. Does that tell you anything?

One more piece of equipment, if you're interested. Since you love distortion. There are a variety of stomp pedals out there, and all is going to depend on what you can afford. But since you love your sounds distorted, I can tell you what pedal I use, and it surely does a good job. And it does it rather cheap too. I use the DigiTech "Grunge" pedal. DigiTech makes many other pedals, so go to MF and look them over carefully. You can find one that matches your music style. You can get them to range anywhere from Blues and Classic Rock, to full tilt Heavy Metal. You decide. Mine was about $40 and I'm not crying a bit over the price. The box works good for me. So check them out.


I like the setup that I have. I'm not planning to make any world tours or anything, I'm just jamming in the living room for fun. You don't have to break the bank in order to do it, but you would like a decent setup, and I think this is one. You see, and you decide for yourself.

Best wishes!

Where do I find AFFORDABLE Toddler/Kid Furniture?

brandimile

Im trying to find "Affordable" Toddler/Kid Furniture...My daughter is 13 months old and Im trying to find some "Affordable" furniture for her room like an AMOIRE and a COMBO HUTCH (which is like a dresser with a bookcase attached on top) and I need these in ESPRESSO! My parents bought her an espresso color crib when I was pregnant, they paid 1300.00 for it and I dont want to pay that much money for the rest of the pieces in that collection! When I say Affordable Im looking for something under 500.00...Around the 200-300 price would be awesome! Please reply only with experience. I already looked at all the "furniture stores" and they are out of my price range. I reside in Dallas Texas

Answer
If you have time to be "choosey", craig's list is a great option.
We got an entire bedroom set for our daughter, including a headboard, a dresser, mirror, desk with hutch and a chair for $900. It's beautiful, too - not something that was from Montgomery Wards circa 1975.

You can expand how far out you want to search, based on how far you feel like driving. But you will want to be quick if you find something good. ;)

Ideas for a toddler's bedroom?

HOLLISTER

My 3 and 6 year olds share a bedroom, and i earned a little bit of money so I decided to redo their rooms. does anyone have any ideas on what toys to buy? or furniture? Thanks
They are both boys and love boats

Answer
Are they boys? Girls? What are their interests?

I would paint one wall with 2 sail boats and some waves....let them paint some fish...or put up those sticky picutes of fish in the water.

Even if you are not artisitic you could draw a sail boat. Draw it in pensil first then fill it in with colorful paint.

Find some simple or solid comforters, sew some pillows with boat print for decoration and maybe have them color some pictures of a boat and frame them on the walls for decoration as well

Here's an example of an easy sailboat you should be able to draw....

Toddler bedroom decor...?

Nanabanana

My daughter just moved to a "big girl" bed and so I went out and bought her a new bedspread and all white furniture. The comforter is bright pink, lime green, purple, orange and teal. I am trying to decide what color to paint the walls. I was thinking of doing a lighter green (like lime but lighter) and then doing a bright pink stripe around the room, or else painting the room a light teal with a purple stripe...does that sounds too "grown up" for a 2 year old? I want it to be a room she can grow into but I don't want the colors/design to be too much for her. What do you think? Any other cute decorating ideas? I hate just one color walls so I'm trying to use two colors to decorate...Thanks!

Answer
I think a soft lime green with a medium pink strip would be adorable! I don't think it would be too grown-up. It should serve her well into preteens, at least! Another idea for longevity in a kid's bedroom: paint the walls a solid color and then decorate them with the peel and stick "Wallies" or other precut images that can be adhered to the wall temporarily. You could put some flowers or butterflies on the wall now, and then when she gets older and wants something different, you could put polka dots or something geometric like that. Good luck!

What are some ideas to decorate a rented house?

girls bedroom decorating ideas you image

squishi

We live in a rental house, and I would like some simple decorating ideas and/or tips that won't cost a lot of money but that will make a diffenence even if it's small things that can be done or brought over time to add to the overall affect. I would like to concentrate on the living room first. Any websites that may help me would also be much appreciated. Thank you.

Answer
Okay... well, first you have to start with deciding on a 'Style' or 'Theme'. What do you want your Living Room to feel/look like?

Country? Log Cabin/Rustic? Victorian? Shabby Chic? Contemporary/Modern? Tuscan? French? Traditional? Old-World?

Are you going to be using existing furniture, or buy new furniture? If existing furniture, what kind of furniture is it? If it won't fit in with the 'Style' you want, you can always slipcover the pieces.

What kind of flooring is in the Living Room? Carpet? Hardwood? Tile? Linoleum? And what colour is it? An Area Rug will go a VERY long way in 'anchoring' the 'Style' you have chosen.

Then you want to look to the Draperies. You may want to replace the existing ones (keeping them in a bag to be dry-cleaned and re-hung when you move out, taking the new ones with you). If you have Blinds in there, (what colour are they?), you can always add a Valence and some Panels to embellish them.

Then you want to look for Art Work that will better represent the 'Theme' you have chosen.

As well, you would want to consider Bookcases, End Tables, Ottomans, and your Entertainment Center if your Television and/or Stereo are in there. What are they sitting on, or cased-in, now?

You want your Colours to be represented thru the Area Rug, Slipcovers, Draperies/Valences, Art Work, and Sofa Pillows.

Can you Paint the walls? What will your Landlord allow you to do?

All these things, (except Painting the wall, of course, *lol*), can be taken with you when you move.

As you can see, 'Decorating' is really done in 'layers'... each layer building upon the previous one. But the 'Style' must be chosen first. Then the 'Colours' you want to use to represent that 'Style'.

Here's a couple of links to help you decide on a 'Style/Theme'...

TOUCH OF CLASS: PICK YOUR STYLE:
http://www.touchofclass.com/category/navigation/shop+by+style.do?KickerID=103001&KICKER

JUST ABOUT EVERY GIRL'S BEDROOM THEME:

Even tho the above link says 'Girls Bedroom', it has a plethora of 'Styles' that can easily translate into a Living Room... you'll be pleasantly surprised by many of them, *s*, and the ideas they will present to you.

Once you decide on a 'Style' and the 'Colours' you like best, let us know and we can better direct you to just how to accomplish it, *s*

What am I going to suspect on Carnival INSPERATION? Im 13?

kids room decor camping image

RACHELLE A

13 years old going on Insperation, what should I expect in Circle C? Fun level rate in stars and why (Ex. ****=4 stars)

Answer
We had a BLAST!!!!! her is some info i found:

There are clubs and schedles just for kids of your age group. you will find lots of kids to hang around in your age group


Identical in all but décor, Carnival Inspiration is the sixth in line of the eight Fantasy-class sister ships (Fantasy, Fascination, Ecstasy, Inspiration, Paradise, Sensation & Elation). These ships always seem to have something of interest going on, and thus are ideal for the up-and-at-'em style cruiser. Carrying 2,052 passengers, Fantasy is big enough to provide entertainment, ample deck space for those whose idea of being entertained is basking in a warm sun shine glow, and separate facilities for passengers of all ages.

Having been launched in 1996, in today's whirlwind pace of change in the cruise industry, Carnival Inspiration is not so full of neon, chrome and mirrors as her younger sister ships. But it's there if you know where to look. Like at the Grand Atrium with its bold gold neo-classic statue and neon-rimmed mirrors and ceiling panels.

There are a lot of hard surfaces on this ship - especially on the flooring where tiles abound instead of carpet. This adds to the non-stop ambient noise levels, especially in the Violin's Bar and the grand Atrium.

In addition, a further upgrade completed in 2007 includes a snazzy new pool area with teak decking, new umbrellas, a tile "beach" for the pool water to lap against and a new thatched roof for the hot tub. The kids will rave about "Carnival waterworks," the new water park featuring a 4-story tall and 300 foot long "Twister Water Slide." Another slide is three side-by-side tubes 82 feet long. This is all part of a waterpark with all kinds of sprays and other devices to keep the kiddies cool and fresh. There's also a new nine-hole miniature golf course.

As if that isn't enough for the kids, "Camp Carnival" received a makeover, and the ship has new interconnecting staterooms for families.

Total Choice Dining provides for four dinner seatings in the main dining rooms, alternative Bistro dining every evening, and an increased number of service staff. Passengers are assigned a table for dinner in one of the two main dining rooms -- The Mardi Gras Dining Room on Atlantic Deck, mid-ship, or the Carnivale Dining Room on Atlantic Deck, aft -- at one of four seatings; 5:45 p.m. or 6:15 p.m. and 8 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. There are very few tables for two in either of the two main dining rooms; expect to dine with four, six, or eight fellow voyagers. Both dining rooms are named after future Carnival ships that at the time were only a part of the founder's "imagination."

You typically have a choice of six starters, a couple of salads, and six or seven main courses (pan-fried fillet of red snapper, sweet and sour shrimp, rack of New Zealand lamb and Beef Wellington). The menu also includes Spa Carnival selections for those trying to reduce their intake of calories, sodium, cholesterol, fat, or meat.

Added in the 2007 renovation were a coffee bar in the atrium and New York-style deli in the Lido restaurants

Additionally, the poolside Lido eateries are converted into Seaview Bistros between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. each evening, offering buffet dinner with no reservations or advance notice required. The informal Brasserie Bar & Grill (T-shirts and shorts are OK) Restaurant on the Lido Deck offers both inside and poolside seating. All meals here are served buffet style, with open seating for all three meals.

Other alternative eating options include a 24-hour pizzeria, a complimentary sushi bar and 24 hour room service. Added in the 2007 renovation were a coffee bar in the atrium and New York-style deli in the Lido restaurants.

Carnival's celebrated Camp Carnival program offers a full schedule of supervised activities, from finger painting and singalongs for younger children to photography workshops, late-night movies, and pool parties for their older siblings. The ships' 2,400-square foot "Children's World" play areas are stocked with a computer lab, a climbing maze, an activity wall, and an assortment of toys, games and puzzles.

The 2007 upgrade added a nine-hole miniature golf course as well as a waterpark that is better than the larger Carnival ships. The kids will love these supervised diversions giving you plenty of time to relax by the pool.

Does physical discipline work with cats?

kids bedroom furniture online image

pinscherpu

My cat always goes after my g'friend's cats (we live together) and we have to have some peace! They fight and chase each other, yowling and hissing and causing all sorts hell. She wants to me hit my cat when my cat attacks. How do I really get the cats to stop fighting?

Answer
No, you don't use shock collars on cats, and no, you don't hit them. You might want to give some thought to your girlfriend's view on corporal punishment before you have any kids. Just kidding!

I'm guessing that everyone is neutered and spayed? That's important. You don't say how many cats there are, but I agree with the person who said they have to work out their territories. You don't say how big your home is, but you can help them by creating cozy little areas for them that are "prime territory". Cats like to be up high, and they like to nap, so put some cat beds up on top of your bookcase and on top of your refrigerator (you've created two prime spots). They like to look out the window, so have furniture or a cat tree (or both) right next to the windows so they can look out (two more!). Be sure they each have their own litter box.

Usually if they don't like each other, they'll do an upstairs cat/downstairs cat kind of thing, or the bedroom is mine and the office is yours, and we'll fight whenever we meet in the dining room. Sometimes prime spots, like in front of the big window, will be divided by the time of day. It's yours in the morning, but I get it in the afternoon. That's the kind of thing you're hoping the cats will work out.

I agree, spraying them with water is fine. I would definitely get some Feliway diffusers, which containg synthetic pheremones that should take the edge off of things. You can get them at a pet store, but they're cheaper online.

Good luck with your kitties. I wish all of you the best.

How to keep a quite environment for study?

boys bedroom sets with desk image

mother0857

If I find my house too noisy with many distractions coming from my families and siblings, what can I do?
I really need to study but I find it is really hard to read when people are bing-bang downstairs.
Please give me some information from the web.

Answer
To Grils:
A study space is critical to a girl's ability to study effectively. Students need a neat and organized place to study. After all, if you can't concentrate, you certainly can't expect to learn very well. Here are a few steps on how to create a study space for high school girls.

Step1Evaluate your study habits. Some students study with noise in the background such as the radio or the television. Some study lying down. Others study for long periods of time and others need study breaks. Use this evaluation to determine what type of study space you will need.
Step2Claim a space. Your bedroom maybe the best place to study. If you need a place without interruptions, maybe claim the attic, the basement, the garage or a room completely away from the other rooms.
Step3Set up the study area. It is important that you set up a desk and chair in a way that won't put stress on your back, neck or wrists. Good lighting is also essential. The use of overhead lights is great, but it is also smart to get a good desk lamp.
Step4Make your study area your area. Hang a bulletin board or white board on one of the walls to write down notes, messages and to-do lists. Store stationary supplies such as pens, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, highlighters, blank paper and notebooks in decorated containers.
Step5Add shelving to hold books and other school supplies. Magazine boxes are great to hold file folders with finished schoolwork and tests.
Step6Establish a study schedule and stick to it. Successful students study effectively by creating a study schedule that best fits around their extra curricular activities and life.

For Boys:
doing good in school is one of the most important things for most people i spent alot of time trying to do my best in school and when i was in sisth grade i developed a tudy schedlue and a way that worked for me to study and do well in school

1first you need to have something to study whether its math social or just every thing so you can be prepared if you happen to have a pop quiz the next day
Step2take everything thing you need with you (paper pencils pens textbooks) to the quiet space you have chosen to study
Step3look over all the information that you may or need to know for the test read it all because teachers may say things won't be on the test but they lie and it is
Step4write it all out in your word on paper so if it said somthing like fractions are part of a number but not a hole nomber and you could think of somthing that makes more sence to you write it all down and then you have somthing to study with the next day
