You might also look at some wall murals for a unique effect:

Where can I find vintage Hollywood movie posters?

Becca W.

I am currently re-decorating my bedroom and I choose the vintage Hollywood theme because I love old movies. I am looking for vintage movie posters, so far I was only able to find three at the stores (Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Mairlynn Monroe in that white dresss). Does anybody know of any good websites where I can find some Hollywood movie posters? I would also like to point out that I am on a budget : ) Also, does anyone have any tips for decor that would enhance my theme?

Answer
As mentioned before, allposters.com has thousands upon thousands of movie posters (and posters of other types). You can pick up frames almost anywhere, but IKEA has nice beechwood frames that can be painted.

My suggestion as to decorating is to pick a style and choose both posters and accessories that suit that style. For example, if you like Art Deco, you could get posters from movies like Metropolis, Wings, and the 1931 Frankenstein. (Posters from more recent movies like Bonnie & Clyde and the Agatha Christie mysteries work well here too.) If you wanted to go 50s retro, you could get posters from movies like Breakfast at Tiffany's, Sunset Boulevard, and Ben-Hur.

For decorating, you could paint using historical paint colours for those eras. Sherwin Williams has a historical palette, as does Dulux in the UK. Paint is cheap, especially if you do it yourself, and can really make a big difference.

Once you choose a specific era, it'll also be easier to find furniture and accessories that match. 50s accessories show up a lot in garage sales in post-war neighbourhoods - many seniors who were 20 in the 50s are moving into seniors' residences and cleaning out their homes.

{Read Details} Unique wall decor ((for a purple room))?

unique girls bedroom decor image

Maddie

I have recently taken down my cork and white board from a spot on my wall, and i don't know what to replace them with. I am a very unique and spontaneous 13 year old girl. I was the first person in my school to hang up Multi-Colored Christmas lights before it was cool. I also have a black chalkboard wall in my room that currently has a small raincloud in the center. I also have Van Gogh artwork on my walls and road signs, like stop signs. I love old music (like nirvana, the beatles, pink floyd), old videogames, and creativity. My brother has vinyl on his ceiling, and i want to do something like that, but not with vinyl. I do not want to copy him or his style. Anything else I could hang there? I would prefer hanging more than one of the same item. Also, that spot in my room is PuRpLe. Ideas? Thanks!

Answer
How about white hanging paper lanterns ? The white will look great against the purple walls:http://www.lunabazaar.com/paper-lanterns-complete-collection.aspx
Hang them in odd numbers such as three or five and hang them at different heights.

I have no idea how to do my room?

Becca

I'm really into the whole shabby chic look and romantic with a big bed and white furniture and candles everywhere but I also love more modern unique looks such as an all white room/floor with a colored ceiling and bright decor.... it depends on my mood some days I love yellow and others dark red or black. what do I do?
or how do I make a canopy like this?

http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/shopwildthings/creamcanopy.jpeg

Answer
Shabby chic is fun and can be versitile. If you have bedroom furniture already,Its very easy 2 be shabby,. You will needa few things 2 get started I have a pine bedroom set, I startewd by lightly sanding, washed it all down with TSP, washed it down with plain h2o (rinsed) Took a candle and rubbed it in diffedrent areas , then painted it I used white , you cvoyuld use a lite pink or somewthing light (sorry about my typing Ive had surgery on my hand latley , sometimes its not worth the time 2 go back + fix it!!.Hope u dont mind)Anyway let yourpaint dry + go over your items with fine sand paper,It will take the paint off the areas u put the candle,Its very easy + gives u a major change.yOU CAN change up the hadrware by repacing it or paint itOr use , Some old jewlry youll have a new room in no ti me .On your mood days My suggestion is 2 have double sided window treatment,or4 yor windows only use 1/2 + a valance,or 1/2 no valance, or valabnce only.. pilloews can change any room , havce a bunch of them strewn about(2sided) undfer ur window, on the bed ,stacked ???neverendind possiubilities(againSorry about my sloppiness) Have fun with your roomn!! U say a colored ceilig?? Paint over lace,,o9r black + white cherkers The canopy ius easy!!! Put 8 hooks in you ceiling I suggest using Plant hooks. + Put r4ivets in corners of the material your using! u go girl

Decorating problem!! Boys room with PINK walls! I cant paint them either! Help!?

boys bedroom plane theme image

tiddlefuzz

We recently moved and I am going to decorate my sons room. Unfortunatly the walls in his bedroom are all pink (Bright pink I might add) And I cant paint them as we're renting. I wanted some sort of theme. He's almost 2, he loves The wiggles and all sorts of vehicles (eg truck, car, plane, train) and also loves animals. Any themes I think of dont seem to fit the pink walls in. I thought of covering the walls with fabric but that requires fixing the fabric to the wall which may mean nails or such which I also cant do. Also, my son my decide to pull on the fabric and rip down it goes! So thats out of the question. I thought of a sunset/sunrise theme but i think it would be a bit boring. Any thoughts?

Answer
talk to your landlord we're good people usually.....I can't believe it stayed bright pink no landlord I know would paint a room bright pink. chances are it was a previous tenant. Ask him if you can paint the room. You may have to pay for the paint but at least you'll get a color you can live with. I've never had a problem with letting a tenant make some modifications to their place as long as it is reasonable. I've even payed for the materials for a few. It won't hurt to ask..............

Ideas for decorating a toddler boy bedroom?

POPPY

I just finished painting the walls in my soon to be 3 year old son's bedroom. The paint is called "Guacamole" . Its a very warm rich green. My trim is dark wood, which I hate (I like white trim but I'm renting). I'm having a tough time decorating because his dresser is white and the toddler bed is a pine color. I'm not willing to paint the dresser and I really prefer to use what we have already. I love the look of pottery barn, but can't really afford to spend the money.Can you help me come up with some affordable ideas to make it look like a cool, & fun big boy bedroom. I'm not into themes because his likes change so often. But one thing that always stays the same is cars, trucks and trains. I could decorate by displaying cars and picture frames with cars&airplanes themes. I"m not sure. Possibilities are endless. I also need an idea for curtain color. I'd like to add a play table and an easel. I'm also making an underbed train table as a surprise. Thank you for reading my post.

Answer
Just a thought. Try downloading a printing pictures of high end cars and exotic planes or trains. Then frame them and put them up in his room. For extra touches add a small collection of Maisto cars in cases for display. By the way many car dealers will give you free booklets and on occassion you can get promo items(i.e. we got a Porsche flag for our sons room). Maybe a few light weight model planes hanging from the ceiling. And if your able put a 6" shelve about 18" from the ceing around the entire room and set up a electric train on it. Put a switch some where on the wall out of his reach for now(he'll enjoy turning it on when he five or so, but not now he may break it to easily). Also for the curtians try a dark green or Dark purple(aka Royal Purple). By the way a extra nice touch is a rug for a kids room has a play scape on it (usually a road and such). I know it sounds like a lot, but it works out nicely. It's what we are doing for our sons room.

Maybe cream walls instead of yellow, light or maybe mid pink and black. Maybe add some silver, grey or white in to make things a bit more fun and eye catching.

How much would a house like this cost in Iowa next summer?

kids bedroom sets cheap image

Hi There.

My brother and i will both be done with college this spring, starting jobs where we would both make $15 per hour. I have a $300 car payment for another 2 years, and he will need a car within a year, of a similar payment.

We want to get a small house here in Iowa, area code 50613, that has a large workspace such as either a very large garage, or a seperate workshop, perhaps made from a pole barn. Neither of us plan on raising families there, so a 2-bedroom house with 1 bath and a small kitchen, just a bachelor pad, would fit quite well. We'd like to be near town, but rural enough to not have to worry too much about neighbors, since we've grown up in the country and are used to being able to shoot firearms, and work on our cars without worrying about leaving a tool laying out, for a passing kid to steal if we were in town. Darn tool-stealing kids.

Honestly, i think we would both live in a large RV if the price was right, and if we could find an empty lot for dirt cheap to build a simple workshop on. We have welding equipment, an air compressor, stuff that just doesn't fit into a small house's garage in the middle of town. Our parents are selling the acreage to move into a condo in town, and my brother and i cannot afford the huge house or property it's on, when the large workshop and rural setting are all we really need.

I thought about maybe just living in an apartment in town, and renting somebody's unused barn outside of town, for my brother to rebuild a muscle car, and myself to build a dune buggy.

Okay so this is a ton of extra info... Any advice or thoughts on how much we could get a small rural house for?

Answer
Depends on how far out of town you are willing to live. Cedar Falls-Waterloo is a college town, with an industrial base. Farther East and South, the more expensive. You get 75-100 West Wright/Hamilton/Franklin county areas, you can buy what you are looking for within $50-60,000 range. 30 year loan, you're talking $600-700 month including property tax and insurance. Should be able to rent around $400-500 month

Where can I get cheap things to decorate my sons room?

Consentida

Ok I'm moving to a new apartment and my son is going to finally get his own bedroom. He just turned 4 years old and I have no idea where to look for cheap things to decorate his room. His favorite characters are disney cars and thomas the train..me and my husband are on a budget...and we all know disney cars and thomas are not cheap. so any ideas?

Answer
I would avoid the actual Disney charecter stuff. Not only is it a little expensive, there is a good change he'll complain it is too babyish in two years. Plus, he already had toys with those charecters.

To save money, get stuff you could see in an 8 year old's room.

Bedding I think works for a 4 year old and an older boy:

For wall art, posters make a big impression. I reccomend picking posters that will fit in frames the same color as the furniture. That way later on you can just change the posters.

If the furniture is dark brown in his room, you can get this frame set for $30 http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=16566594&RN=88 You could get these:

Whats the best expansion pack to buy with Sims 2 Double Deluxe?

kids bedroom underwater theme image

YaRite

I already have sims 2 double deluxe but i want more! :D What's the best expansion pac to get that can give me more furniture, clothes, things to do. Just whatever, tell me what kinds of things you can do with the expansion that I can't do on double deluxe! THANKS!
nightlife comes with the one i have :/ do u have the "mansion and garden stuff"?

Answer
-The Sims 2 Pets is a really good expansion packs, your sims can have dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, etc. The sims can teach their dogs or cats commands, like roll over, sit, play dead, or even teach them how to use the toilet.

-Another great expansion pack is The Sims 2 Seasons, the sims actually go through the four seasons and it can rain, snow, or thunderstorm. Sims can get a tan or get sun-burnt and they can garden in green houses, where they can grow tomatoes and other vegetables.

-The Sims 2 Bon Voyage was another one of my favorites, where sims can actually go on vacations. They can either go to a camping site, a Japanese-type place, or to a tropical place. Sims can take pictures with their cameras and make the most of their trips by going on tours and stuff like that. Cabin-type furniture is introduced in this expansion pack.

-The Sims 2 Apartment Life would be a great expansion pack if you think it would be cool for your sims to have apartments, find roommates, or even ask a neighbor in your apartment building to watch the kids for free. This expansion pack comes with some cool furniture, like a bed that actually goes into the wall, make-able closets, and a 3-space big-screen tv. It also comes with some fancy-type furniture and a small dog you can keep in a small pen.

-Stuff packs are the least-important for me, but if you want a bunch of cool kids' rooms, you should get the Family Fun stuff pack, it has a a bunch of themes for kids (underwater theme, castle theme, etc.) For teen stuff or gothic stuff, you should get the Teen Style stuff pack. For nice bedrooms for adults, the Glamor Life stuff pack is the best. And if you want more clothes, the H&M stuff pack is the best, it also gives you some new objects for other stores and 3-4 H&M stores to place in your neighborhoods.

Mansion and Garden stuff is the only stuff/expansion pack I don't have though.

right now I have zebra print all over my room.bed set,curtains ect. I was wondering if thats the style or what is cool for a bed room?

zebra print is always in style - if you tire of it change the accent color - some that work well with zebra are lime green, bright blue, red, bright yellow or orange. A couple of pillows or new lamp shade can really jazz things up (look at ross, they have great bargains on trendy stuff), Paint the walls a silvery gray, very sophisticated looking

http://www.lunabazaar.com/images/assets/decorating-paper-lanterns.jpg (i know it's not a bedroom....)

You could do so many different styles with this one, you could do animals prints, Zebra print goes with about any color!
You could do the hippie/indian type one with the gold and the bright color, maybe orange since pink isn't your favorite. (Somewhat like in the second picture)
You could do the paper lanterns, They look great! different colors and different level/heights look awesome!
Adding decorations would bring it to another level.

Hope i gave you some idea's :)

Whats a good theme for a baby boy?

boys bedroom jungle theme image

Mommamonst

The fun part is finally here! I should say "A fun part" I've actually really enjoyed my pregnancy! I had my 20 week ultrasound yesterday and Im so happy to have a boy! Just want some ideas on how to decorate for him. I was thinking a sea theme but Im not in love with that idea. Any suggestions?

Answer
Can't go wrong with a jungle. A baby one with lots of block colours will give him plenty to look at during the day when it's nice and bright. You could have a look at the wall stickers on amazon, they have tons of baby/toddler/kid bedroom decor. You could paint the walls a pale yellow or blue and a big block of green along the bottom of the walls (maybe with some flicks going up to show it's grass) and then stick some trees and jungles animals around.

I need help decorating my 1 year old boy/girl twins bedroom. How can I make it cute and appropriate for both?

Gina L

Answer
I would probably do a cute shade of blue or aqua that can be unisex with either orange or yellow accents. I like nurseries that instead of a "theme" are just unified by a color scheme and maybe a modern print like stripes, or polka dots.

If you want a theme you could do baby animals, jungle, under the sea, or moon and stars.

What do you need for a nursery?

Ryssa

I'm writing a story about two teens (they're eighteen and married) and they have a baby at the end of their first year of college. What's needed for a nursery? And maybe give me some cute theme ideas? By the way, the baby is a girl.

Answer
You would usually have a crib , a changing table , some toys , soft toys , clothes in a wardrobe , crib mobiles , baby books , pictures on the wall .
Here are some theme ideas ( off a website )


â¼ Lady Bug Nursery

A popular baby girl nursery theme today is a lady bug nursery. You might want to begin by purchasing a crib set to use as a pattern to paint and decorate the room.

You can find stencils in lady bug designs, add posters, and even stick on lady bugs to complete the look. Even if you aren't an artist, you can project the image of a lady bug on the wall and paint it. Another great idea is to hire someone to do a mural of lady bugs playing in a garden or buzzing around some flowers .

â¼ Bugs and Bees

Your little darling will love being surrounded by whimsical bugs and bees. With so many bugs to choose from, you should have no problem choosing this theme. Bees, butterflies, caterpillars, and worms are popular choices, and they are easy to recreate on paintings and other wall art as well .


â¼ Celestial Themes

Help your little one fly off to dreamland with a celestial baby girl nursery theme. These themes can include planets, moons, stars, and even constellations. You can copy the pattern onto your ceiling, using pastels, whites, and blues. You should be able to find lamps, picture frames, and wall decorations in this theme as well.

Toile Designs
If you are looking for an elegant way to decorate your baby's nursery, you might want to consider a toile design for her room. Toile patterns may focus on red, white, pink, yellow, green, and even pastel blue colors.


â¼ Patchwork and Plaid

Patchwork or plaid designs make great baby girl nursery themes. It's easy to build off of either one of these patterns, choosing the main color and accent colors from the colors of the patchwork or plaid on a crib set, blanket, or comforter. You should be able to color match the crib set at local paint and hardware stores, such as Home Depot, Lowe's and Sherwin-Williams.

â¼ Frog Baby Girl Nursery Themes

Little girls are just as enamored of frogs as little boys, so don't overlook this great baby girl nursery theme! Choose from designs that only feature frogs to designs with lots of other friendly creatures, such as turtles, lizards, dragonflies, and even snakes.

â¼ Character Themes

Of course, character nursery themes are eternal favorites for parents and children. You can usually find lots of great accessories, and there are so many to choose from, including the following:

Hello Kitty
Precious Moments
Pooh's Portraits

Decorating a nursery for your new baby can be a fun and exciting experience. It will be the first place for your baby to dream, to experience, and to grow. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Location. Calm surroundings are critical to a newborn's development. Avoid room's that are close to a busy street, where there could be more noise. Will the baby's room be on the same floor as your bedroom ? This makes it more convenient to monitor your baby. However, you can always opt for an audio or video monitor.

Time to decorate! Choosing a particular theme and design for your baby room depends on how much you want to spend, how much space you have, and whether it's a boy or a girl. To be safe, you can always go for gender-neutral colors such as greens, purples, and reds.

Choosing a theme. Now it's time to let your imagination run wild. To get some ideas, visit a few baby stores and check out different styles. They may even have example rooms set up that you can check out. Take a look at the following nursery themes to get a few ideas rolling.

Animals. This motif could include kittens, puppies, farm scenes, or teddy bears. This is a common theme that can easily be found in stores. You could purchase everything from the sheet and comforter set to coordinating wall hangings and wall paper.

Cartoon / TV Characters. The options are numerous here. Winnie the Pooh, Spiderman, Aladdin, Curious George, Bugs Bunny, Snoopy, and Peter Pan are just a few examples.

Noah's Ark. This a popular theme with plenty of designs to choose from. You can accessorize with animal pictures, a nursery lamp, bedding, and even a rocking chair.

Dolphins or other underwater scenes. This theme will add a cool, refreshing feeling to your new baby room. The cool colors will also be comforting for you baby. For decorating, you could use a Finding Nemo theme, sea-related wall hangings, sea shells, a border with waves, or even sea horses.

Crayons. Remember how much fun crayons use to be. Introduce your child to a new and creative world with this theme. You could use accents in the shape of hand prints or stencil of your choice. Place these on the walls, window frames, closet door, or even the lamp shade. Looking for the perfect paint. Crayola has come out with paints with their colors made specifically for the baby's room.

Whichever design you choose, use inexpensive stain-

Is having a guest bed an etiquette necessity?

ebay kids bedroom sets image

Hyacinth

Is being set up to accommodate overnight guests necessary for a polite person/family? What if the household's small number of bedrooms is already occupied by parents and children? Does etiquette dictate that they must buy a sofa bed or inflatable bed so that they may turn, for example, the living room into a guest bedroom when needed? If so, with what other items must the makeshift guest room also be equipped? Or may out of town friends and relatives simply be told, "I'm sorry, but we're not set up to accommodate guests."?

Answer
i like this question, its actually very interesting!

i have a guest room set up at the moment with a futon in it. But one day when its a kids room i will be moving the futon to the conservatory. i think it is a necessity to have some sort of sleeping area for guests, it doesnt have to be something expensive to put you out of pocket. my futon was £20 on ebay and it is fine. i also have a lamp in the spare room for if they want to read a book (located in the toilet - dont ask!)

its safe to say guests dont stop long yay!

I want to sell things on ebay, should I sell these items or do you think no one would buy?

houseofmiz

Well these are the items want to get rid off

Some old tee shirts (rolling stones, kind of formal shirt- button up semi see through, white with pink flower pattern and some lace -, and a bunch of other grahpic tees, and a pink striped one and quite a few others

My skatebored (I can't balance on it and I'm to afraid to get back on because I hurt my ankle last time and its not really fun for my friend and I to just pull eachother)

I have some old toys but I need to sort throuh them

I have a barbie car that doesn't talk anymore, I have a plastic barbie plane with alot of missing peices, and a giant barbie doll house- more like a hotel and lots of barbie peices to go with it and a barebie living room/bedroom/bathroom set and I do have about 10 barbies including some vintage barbie clothes from my aunt, a vintage barbie, and a green holiday one still in its box but I don't want to get rid of my barbies jsut the barebie stuff (I'm 14 and no longer a prissy little kid) continued.
Bit I heart my barbies too much to get rid of them, I want to save them for future kids

And msot of my clothes have sains on them or are ripped a little but nothing that can't be sewen or washed out. I've had most of the clothes for 2+ years and the barbie stuff for 5-7 years plus
so is this stuff ok for ebay or just garage sales?
And theres about 3 or 4 pants included too

Answer
Ebay is like a huge yard sale. If you don't want the items anymore,sale them. Someone, somewhere is bound to buy it.

How to decorate a guest room with 2 dark brown walls and 2 hot pink walls?

bedroom decor for teenage girls image

Tammy

My daughter just moved out of the house and her bedroom will now be used as a guest room. It was recently painted so we really don't want to paint it again but there are 2 walls that are chocolate brown and 2 wall are hot pink. The headboard of the bed and nightstand are white. How can I decorate this room without it feeling like a teenage girl's room?

Answer
Oh gosh...I don't usually kind of insist on painting if you don't want to, but I'm hoping I can talk you into painting the 2 pink walls, cause frankly, the pink walls & white furniture will be hard to overcome as an adult room. The white furniture we can work with. So we have to have a bedding set for inspiration. I found this one that has a white background to pull in the white furniture & overall lighten the room:

http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=1b6aff6&DeptID=82319&CatID=82321&SO=0&SelDim=1031%7e&x5view=1&NOffset=0&Ne=949+877+5+1031+1007+8+18&shopperType=G&N=4294932621+4294949521&Nao=42&PSO=0&CmCatId=82319|82321

The chocolate is in there & the print is a modern stylized Jacobean print. Soooooo...would you be willing to paint those 2 pink walls the rusty red in this bedding??? Take a sham to Sherwin Williams & also the name/number of the current pink (or a good picture of it). They will help you choose the best method of covering the pink with the red. Also, to make the room look bigger & sophisticated, paint the ceiling the color of the tan in the draperies & bedding. Again, SW can help you with this.

This is another choice you might like - just follow my same principles:

http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?Grptyp=ENS&ItemId=1b6b108&cmOrigId=1b6aff6&cmTypeFlag=RichRel&cmCatID=82319|82321

Do you have a ceiling fixture in the room??? Do you have nightstands??? (I hope so) Consider using a pair of these over the nightstands:

http://www.potterybarn.com/products/weston-arc-sconce/?pkey=cplug-in-sconces

And this as your ceiling fixture:

http://www.potterybarn.com/products/camilla-3-arm-chandelier/?pkey=cchandeliers

Lastly...wall decor. Use a LARGE print for impact like this:

http://www.art.com/products/p13877051-sa-i2762539/raymond-gehman-bare-branches-and-red-maple-leaves-growing-alongside-the-highway.htm?sorig=cat&sorigid=0&dimvals=23946&ui=8c23450a465c489baf2ec5f4b9233455

The larger & fewer the accessories the better.

What kind of bedroom style would go with this comforter?

It's the Spa Blue one and is a teenage girl's bedroom. Thanks!

Answer
Contemporary or Modern.

I love that this set has a very clean feel to it and the ruffle detailing is great.

I would suggest going for some darker accents in the room to add contrast to the bedding. You could do some really dark navy blue, if you wanted to stick with blues. Or for a more classic approach, chocolate brown or black.

If you want the room to have a bright fun feel, incorporating some lime green or dark purple would also work well.

Have fun! :)

well stay away from Pier 1 and other over-priced decorating stores and stick to places like Target, and Walmart.
If you want some really funky stuff Hot Topic has some bedroom items.
Paint works wonders! If you're allowed to paint your walls pick an accent wall and paint it a bright funky color, like purple! Or get some stencils and paint a cool border.

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

kids bedroom wall decor image

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:
http://www.vinylwallart.com/

http://www.storybooklane.com/tree.html

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

What are some great ideas for decorating the wall in my dorm?

guitargal3

Moved some furniture around, and now there's a big blank wall behind the couch. I'm on a college budget, so I'd like to use mostly supplies I already have; several colors of paper, markers (including silver), scissors, tape, etc. I'm ok with spending a LITTLE money on supplies as well.

Links to examples are great, too! I want to do something other than the usual posters and stuff.

What colors walls would look good with cream carpet and dark wood for a very large bedroom ?

Q. I have a king sized bed with a mahogany headboard. I'm not great on decor so I really don't know what to do. Any help would be great. And what about bed spreads and curtains? Any suggestions on color schemes for those?

Answer
Your room is so neutral you can do about anything. It's the black dress thing anything goes with black and you can dress it up or down. So you need to find your style.

Mahogany is very traditional let me throw a few ideas at you and see what works. Sometimes the wisest thing to do is get a solid ivory set and then add accents in throws, vases and pillows that you can alter at will.

This has masculine old english undertones with a bit of a modern lean http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=478180&CategoryID=7502

This is very traditional and the Burgundy is a great undertone on the mahogany http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=411086&CategoryID=7502

This is soft and traditional and the green would go nicely in the room earth tones are very soothing bamboo shades and cream terracotta bowls and vases http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=464604&CategoryID=7502&LinkType=

This is sexier and more feminine the sea blue/green is spa like http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=326263&CategoryID=7502&LinkType= Bronze and copper tones as accents with sea glass will play it up nice.

If you can't decide and need a push in one direction go with the ivory set. http://quiltkrazy.com/product?p=641 And your accents to it and change it for the seasons. Go wil a soft taupe on the wall and you can take this anywhere from purple velvet to pale summer daisys.
