Are there any regulars you think are fake?

pottery barn kids bedroom sets image

Leah's Mom

K's answer to Leah's question got me wondering.
I'm not trying to call people out or start drama...but someone making a fake life on Y!A, aside from the obvious ones is strange to me and I never even considered that some people might not be "real."
Hmm. Well, for what it's worth, I'm real. Haha. My facebook friends from here can tell you that.

Answer
"what were the big clues" --> usually, life is just too problem-free to be true. Even if your husband really is named Edward Peyton Cullen-Pysanky and he really is chief surgeon at the children's hospital, and your children Eva Blue, Ellington Adele, and Parker Jaxonne are all darlings, if your life is an actual life, it involves a lot mundane crap like getting cars repaired, an unfortunate run-in with the school, a fight with an uncle. Your worst problem =! omg I don't know what flavour cupcakes to serve!

Also: lots of kids _plus_ lots of time on Y!A -- that is not always a warning flag; but if there are other red flags, that is another thing to look at. Where is all this free time coming from? Hmm

Also not always but often: real names named (and dropped with great frequency), multiple "children's" ages in Lilypie URLs on profile (how handy to refer to)

Imaginary careers. And education; "I have a B.A. from _collage_"

Love for: utterly impractical, wear-it-once poofy children's clothing, too-large houses (the utility bills on six bedrooms! good christ!) with lavish imaginary decor. Should Emma get _this_ Pottery Barn bed or _this_ one?

And of course inconsistencies. But really, mostly it's just the lack of problem, or even lack of boring, that sets me to watching for the inconsistencies. Life is a little too much like it is on teevee...

where is the best place to buy a bed?

maddenplay

Answer
what are you looking for in a bed -- quality, construction, wood, or metal? where is this bed going -- master bedroom, teen, child, guest, etc? what style are you looking for -- traditional, modern, contemporary, french, country, asian, etc? and what is your price range -- low, medium, high, money is no object?

to start off.. you can go to the lower end places (under $1,000 -- or even under $500!), beds you buy, take home in your car and put together yourself, usually made of MDF wood composite, or regular metal frames: Ikea, Target, Sears, etc. If shopping for a child, teen or fresh in college's bed.. Ikea is probably your best bet. you build it yourself, and styles are contemporary, and cheap enough that you can throw it out (or donate) when they outgrow the style.

Middle end ranges (under $4,000) start to get a little more open in designs, and the quality is upped a lot. Woods are solid or hardwood, iron cast beds, delivery required and in most cases will set up/build for you: Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, West Elm, Crate & Barrel, Z Gallerie, Brocade Home, Shabby Chic, Design Within Reach, etc.. For this range, it's more for the newlyweds, first home buyers, and college grads that are ready to "grow up".. The styles range so widely, so it's hard to say which one is the best.

Higher ends are more specifically designed, similar benefits from middle range, but better woods, finishes, construction and warranty: Ralph Lauren Home, Diva, Armani Home, Williams Sonoma Home, Between The Sheets, Environment Furniture, etc. These are for the well off and typically for the master suites when the kids have all grown up and left the nest and it's your turn to get yourself the best (retail) life has to offer. Custom made beds & headboards hand carved or made to order.. truly a luxury.. My personal favorite is RL Home for the classic styles, and Armani Home for the contemporary.

Where can I find shrub or ivy covering for my bedroom walls?

bedroom decor blog image

Q. I saw this listed in a home decor blog. The entire walls of a bedroom were covered with faux shrub or ivy covering, and it created a look of being outdoors. Anyone know where I can find this?

Answer
HSN has this thing called Tattoauge. They are like murals, but you rub them on with this thing that looks like a tongue depressor. They have some that resemble vines and ivy and are really quite nice. Plus you don't have to worry about the plants collecting dust. Check them out on hsn.com.

Does anyone have any pictures or ideas for a techno-style bedroom?

adagio_75

My 15 year old sister-in-law wants to change her bedroom design from a mostly leopard print theme to techno. I want to help her but I really don't know what techno design for a room would look like. She doesn't have alot of money to completely refurnish the room so items like her leopard print area rug, leopard print lamp shades and picture frames will have to be used. Any ideas or pictures would be great.

Answer
When I think of a techno style bedroom I think of lots of fun bright cheery colors with nice white sleek backdrop. For a techno styled bedroom; you could do a modern look. Go for clean, straight lines if possible. I would go for a white or neutral backdrop with pops of color. If some new furniture pieces are in your budget look for white furniture (bed frame, dresser, desk, nightstand)or you can repurpose old furniture and paint it white. For accessories look for bright colors like orange (for a lamp; canât afford a new lamp you can take an existing lamp, sand it down and spray paint it in an high gloss orange (or whatever bright colors she likes), yellow (picture frames, pillows), and green (pillows, vases for flowers, etc.). If she doesnât like those colors, you can do any color combo that she will like. You can find a cheap/good looking area rug @ Wal-mart in white, but if you donât look for white (or another color) bath rugs and connect them together with carpet tape to make a large area rug. You can also change out the lamp shades for a cheap cost or you can cover existing lamp shades with fabric to match the new room décor. For the walls you can blow up her favorite DJ album covers and frame them; or you can get vector silhouettes of DJâs like this : http://garcya.us/blog/free-dj-vector-graphic-art/ or http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/2286211/2/istockphoto_2286211_dj_at_turntable or http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/4306917/2/istockphoto_4306917_dj_silhouette.jpg or http://www.smashingmagazine.com/images/iconsnew/bittbox.jpg http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/5671904/2/istockphoto_5671904_beach_party.jpg or images like these and have them blown up to put them on the walls. You can also blow up varying silhouettes of dancers and put them on the wall (http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/5753237/2/istockphoto_5753237_spring_girl.jpg http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/5768186/2/istockphoto_5768186_just_wanna_have ). Also music notes and headphones (http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/5481959/2/istockphoto_5481959_grunge_headphones.jpg http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/5802696/2/istockphoto_5802696_headphones.jpg http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/5881226/2/istockphoto_5881226_hand_drawn_musik_retro.jpg would be a cool option also. For bedding you can do something simple like white with a bright colored throw and pillows or bright colored bedding with white pillows and one bright colored accent pillow. Also for bedding you can do bedding in a fun solid color and do an image transfer of her favorite DJ or techno image. Hope this gives you a few ideas, good luck :)

How would I go about designing an Audrey Hepburn bedroom?

kids bedroom sets modern image

Lulu

My room is teeny tiny and my mum is allowing me to do whatever I want to it, I want an Audrey Hepburn style room, my family has bought me a few pictures. What colour scheme/furniture would look best to work with the theme? I am 16 next month if thats important...
She was an old hollywood actress

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Hepburn

Tada!

Answer
Audrey Hepburn was a very stylish lady of the times. She was most famous in films in the 1950's. So I would choose things from that era.

She worn pearls, tight waist belts to show off her tiny waistline, she carried a fashionable purse always and a hat.
She was always very put together.

One of the ideas in decorating in that time frame was to do a black and white decor with splashes of pinks, blacks or grays. Sometimes reds. They had silver fabrics too with lots of shimmer and elegance.
Choose things with lots of sparkle she was a Hollywood star!
Poka-dots were really in fashion.

Furniture was a modern now retro style, very streamline in style or to the other extreme of curves more Victorian in style and often in white or deep wood tones. Tufted headboards on the beds with tacks.
Art nouveau mirrors , elegant chairs, Chrystal glass sparkly lamps.
You can likely find much of the furniture are used stores or Salvation Army stores. A little paint or furniture polish they will look new again.

Here are some links to some decals of dots to carry through the idea of poka-dots onto your walls. The poka-dots were usually black on pink or black or red on white. You could paint your room pink and put some dots all over a wall and a few scattered in limited areas on other walls to tie it in.

After fence is breached, Mary's world is thrown into chaos, and she must choose between her village and her future.

It was no surprise to anyone when their teenage children, Chris and Emily, began showing signs that their relationship was moving beyond that of lifelong friends.

Best theme for an RV/Motorhome?

route 66 bedroom decor image

naomi

Looking at an old rv with horrid decor, mixed pattern furniture (some pink, some blue, some plaid, some stripe) with two types of floral wallpaper and faded "wood" paneling. My family and I are debating on how to fix/renovate/remodel it. We are voting on themes and the choices are: Western/rustic, pirate, Route 66, Old world/rustic, Traditional - paint all the cabinets and trim antique white and walls a medium tan/cappuccino color, or University of Texas - Longhorns. Everyone has there favorite and I have mine but what do you think? Any other ideas or themes? Thanks

Answer
It would all depend on the area and climate of where you plan on living. I live at the beach, so it's easy for me to stay with simple shells and watery sea animals. However, if i lived out in the desert, i would definitely have some type of Spanish hacienda type of theme going on. It really all depends on the colors that make you happy and ones you can live with for a few years at least. Take stock of things you already own and decide on a special piece that may be the focal point of the room you plan on decorating. It seems like the family has an eclectic taste, in which nothing is wrong with that. It would be nice to let every family member be represented. As far as the sports theme, i would use that in a small bathroom. In one of my former homes my bathroom was a Miami Dolphin theme. They're my favorite American Football team and i liked their colors. It was easy to find paint and affordable accessories.

Remember sometimes less is better and try not to hang on to too much stuff and cause more clutter, especially with multiple themes. One room should flow into the next as far as colors are concerned. Before painting permanently, hang durable butcher paper with masking tape and get paint sample from your local hardware store and try them out. see if you can live with the color. After a few days you may change your mind. However, do not be afraid of color. My living room has a dark Green accent wall, one bath is Peacock Blue, my bedroom is bright Yellow, and master bath is pale Yellow. All other areas including kitchen are a pale misty green. My colors are next to each other on the color palate.

It would be nice if you could combine the Western with a touch of the Rustic old world. It would be like John Wayne in Tuscany.

PLEASE ANYONE ANSWER!?

kids bedroom sets long island image

Every litt

So, i had this dream a couple of months ago and I suppose it's safe to say that i'm obsessed with it. I think about it all the time. It practically invades my thoughts. So here it is.
It started out with me in this garage. I was looking for a baseball (i don't play baseball so i don't know.) The walls of the garage were wooden, but it was painted red. There was shelves of tools, and tools hanging up on hooks. There was a built-in bench made of wood that was painted red as well. The garage was connected to the house. There was a brown station wagon parked in garage. Even though they weren't in the dream, i knew that these people lived there. There was the wife, who had blonde hair and the husband who was a bit heavy set, and was bald on top. The blonde-haired wife had glasses. (May I mind you, i don't have any idea who these people are in real life.) I felt like I knew this house. I knew every aspect of it. I felt like I was in a different time period, as if it was the late 80s. I found the baseball and since the garage door was open, I darted out into their drive way. I was in this neighborhood that seemed very familiar. As if I lived there myself. There were houses lining the streets, and garbage cans in the road. Basketball nets, etc. But nobody was around. Nobody in sight. I heard birds chirping, but that's it. Suddenly, I blink my eyes and I'm inside the house whose garage, I was just in. I was in their son's bedroom. The bedroom had the walls were painted blue. His shades were down. The closet door was wooden-brown, along with his bedroom furniture. The border of the room was brown wood too. I felt like I knew this kid, and his bedroom. The kid was a year older than me so that'd make him 15. He had blonde hair, and he was actually rather good looking. His bedsheets were plaid, and he had a twin mattress. He had a small RCA tv on his dresser that had "Different Strokes" on. And we were sitting on his bed talking about how we both like that show. I remember him having this poster on his wall, that said "Flotsam and Jetsam" which I have no idea what the hell "Flotsam and Jetsam" is. It seemed to be some sort of band, that I don't know. For some reason that song, "Bennie and The Jets" was playing in the background, as if it was coming from downstairs. His door was shut. Then suddenly, he stands up and walks by the door and goes "You can't be here! This isn't yours! Get out! You can't do anything here! Please go!" and he starts panicking. So, me I'm just sitting on his bed and I'm like "What?!" and then I realize that I have no idea where I am and I start to worry. He shrugs and then he comes over to me and like I'm sitting at the edge of his bed. He acts like he's about to kiss me so I lean back. He starts smiling and says something like "this is really bad. i dont even know why your here. this is crazy" and the dream ends. I feel like I know this kid. It's annoying the hell out of me. He has dark brown eyes, and a small birthmark on his arm. Everything is so detailed. Everything. And for some strange reason I feel like the house/neighborhood I'm dreaming about is somewhere in Nassau County, Long Island where my aunt lives? I know, I know. I sound crazy. But I know for a fact that this dream takes place in the late 80's, and I know for a fact that this person is an adult right now. I don't know why I keep thinking about this. Considering this dream happened in March, and It's now August and I'm only 14 and this is really scaring me. I really think about it all the time. I don't know my feelings about this person. As if i love them or something. I don't know. Its strange. Someone tell me what this means.

Answer
I know a grown man who said that when he was a teenage boy, everything seemed to excite him--but that did not mean he was gay. It's just how teens work. You can't control your dreams. It is likely nothing to worry about. I have mixed up, weird dreams all the time. You likely watched a how-to show, once--hence the tools in the garage, etc.

Is this a good story?

Jay

Hey everybody out there! I was just wondering if this was a good story for me to write. Its kind of based on personal experience. Well here it is:

Preface


Iâm fourteen years old, I go to a public-school, Iâm an honors-student and I live on Long Island, New York. My full name is Kaitlyn Marie Step. I have one sister, Celia, and two brothers, Craig and Ken. Craig moved out of the house last year. He lives with his friends now, in some apartment in the city. Kenâs only four years old. He has his own bedroom next to my parents. Celia is eight. She sleeps in the room across the hall from me.

I turned fourteen last night. My parents got me a computer for my room. They said that I am old enough to have a computer, and responsible enough. Iâm probably not going to use it that much. Maybe a few days a week. For homework, obviously.

I donât really like computer-games. They donât fascinate me. Or chat-rooms. My mom said that I can have an AIM but I canât go on chat-rooms. Iâm fine with that idea. I donât need anymore friends anyways. Iâve used my computer though. Quite a bit actually. I set up my AIM which I completely adore. Iâve talked to my friends about my surprise-birthday-party from yesterday. It was all good.

Craig never had a computer in his room. So it would be the first time for my parents having a kid with a computer in their bedroom.

Also, last night I was given a responsibility talk about having a computer. Like I shouldnât give any personal info out, I should always have a private-profile on AIM, what I was allowed and wasnât allowed to do. It was just a general type thing. I understood what my parents meant by it. I mean, it made perfect sense. I also planned to follow those rules that my mom had given me. She talked about online-predators, Pedi files, perverts, and such. A talk that every parent should give their kid before allowing them to have a computer in their bedroom. I told my mom I understood everything that she had said and why. If I were her, Iâd be nervous too giving my kid a computer. She trusts me. And anyways, now I wonât have to be downstairs disrupting my mom when sheâs on the computer checking her facebook (which Iâm also not allowed to have), or my dad when he has to do work on it, or my sister when sheâs doing her homework. I said that my sister could do her homework on my computer. Just so I could be nice and prove how responsible and caring I am.

All I have to do is follow my momâs simple rules. Itâs not that hard. I know I can do it.
Chapter 1: Online: Three months later


Iâve been on this chat-room for three hours now. Since ten oâclock tonight. Itâs one oâclock now. My eyes are killing me. Iâm just talking with this guy I met a few weeks after I got my computer. Yes, I did break the rules. I am on a chat-room. My mom doesnât know though. She shouldnât know. I donât want her to. If she knew sheâd take away the computer and I wouldnât be able to talk to this guy. His name is Dempsey. Heâs seventeen. He lives with his mom, his father died when he was young. He has a younger brother whoâs ten. My mom thinks Iâm doing homework.

And you know, telling small white lies is apart of life right? I mean, come awwn! Itâs Dempsey! Heâs a high-school quarterback, and I didnât believe him till he convinced me. He showed me pictures and everything. I did do a web-video with him too. Only, he got to see me because he said that he didnât have one but he showed me pictures.

In the pictures he had his football helmet on. I looked him up, and he was real. His name is Dempsey Shoal. Heâs number seven on the team.

I told Dempsey that Iâm a soccer-player. The best in my high-school too. Heâs really interested in my life. He asks me about my family, and how was school. I always tell him good. I donât want him being too concerned over me. Although I know that heâs seventeen, I donât care. And neither does he. He said that heâs already told his whole school about me. Aaaand he considers me his girlfriend!! Every time I talk to him I get butterflies in my stomach. All my spirits are lifted.

I did tell my best-friend Lisi Ably about him. I had to. She thinks that heâs a fake and whatever so I stopped updating her about him two weeks ago. It was a must. Why does she always have to think that everyone from the internet is such a perv? Thatâs not true. Plenty of people out there are just like me.

Personally, I think that online romance is great. You get to know the person before knowing the way that they look. You get to know the soul before their looks. Their inner-selves. The inner beauty.

Dempsey and I discussed meeting up in the future. And heee wasnât the one who brought it up. I was. I just slightly mentioned it to him, because I wanted to know if he had thought about that. And he said that he did. He said that heâd wait for me to be ready. Because true love always waits.

Whenever he types me poetry, my heart flutters. Being on the computer is my es

Answer
It has a good plot line- though it should have a few twists perhaps- or it will turn into a sort of lecture (never go on chatrooms blah blah blah)

Also, I think it might be a little bit predictable....?

anyway, keep going!

How to decorate my bedroom?

kids bedroom photos gallery image

Sheel

I'm a college kid commuting to school aka still living at home with my parents.

I've recently decided to completely redecorate my room.

Basically after you walk in, the ceiling slants in like a triangle.

The only window in the room is on the opposite side of the door.

The bed is perpendicular to the window.

So far, all I have is strung lights framing the window.

I know I want to do a map of the world on one side of the ceiling with the quote "not all those who wander are lost".

What else should I do to decorate?

Answer
I love the world map and quote idea!

I was going to suggest hanging string lights and drape a sheer sequin curtain in your accent color over the lights on the sloped ceiling cascading down behind your bed http://www.walmart.com/ip/Beacon-Looms-Groovy-Sequin-Interlined-Curtain-Panel/16662997
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4627205733_d5d8e4d68b_b.jpg
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mabbkuTeP11r72hyuo1_500.jpg
But since you already framed the window you could hang the sheer sequin curtain on the window.

Swirling flowers decal would look great on the slope above your headboard.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Vine-Butterfly-Kids-Room-Mural-Wall-Art-Sticker-Decal-Home-Decor-/151150179607 -free shipping
You can get one^ in your fave color, maybe add a couple butterflies ?

http://www.etsy.com/shop/TamiahDesigns/search?search_query=fabric+covered+wall+art+15x8&order=date_desc&view_type=gallery&ref=shop_search
Easy and inexpensive to make one by wrapping fabric to the back of of a cork panel and staple in place.

You can buy 1/2 yard (18x45") of super cute fabric for $3 at walmart in tons of different patterns/designs in the colors in your room.

Cut two 1 1/2" wide strips of the fabric and wrap two picture frames.

Cut remaining fabric 13x30" and lay across your dresser as a cute runner to tie everything together.
or
Make a cute accent pillow for your bed. Easy to sew with a needle and thread if you can't use a sewing machine.
Cut fabric 13x30"
Fold the fabric in half, in-side-out so the color/print is inside.
Sew 1/2" in, along the edge on the two long sides, leaving the short end open.
Turn pillow cover right-side-out so the color/print is on the outside.
Fill with batting or even with a sweater/shirt you don't wear anymore.
Then sew up the opening.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Since you cannot paint, how about ceiling to floor and wall to wall curtains? Pick one of the colors from the walls you will keep exposed, or use white, and get plain colored sheets and hang them on the walls. Ikea has great ideas on how to hang curtains but if your budget is really low, just hang them flat with staples or push pins.
http://www.roomzaar.com/rate-my-space/Home-Offices/Budget-Basement-Home-Office/detail.esi?oid=6458280
http://pinterest.com/pin/57772807690801745/

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

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

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

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

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

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

Unique decorating ideas for a teenager's bedroom?

bedroom decor for young couple image

Laurel

My room is very boring, and I want to give it a new, unique look. I would like some decorating ideas. For example, fake flowers in a vase, or a CD hanging mobile (I already have one of these!), or those glow-in-the-dark stars for your walls and ceilings. My room has no particular color scheme, so go crazy with your ideas! Thanks :)

Answer
I would go with the glow-in-the-dark-stars idea. I've painted everything from butterflies to beetles, dragonflies to moths on a couple of my friends' bedroom ceiling. What I do is paint the glow stars first in deep blue or green and then add the extra elements based on the scene I want to recreate.

Bedroom designs work best when you work around a well-defined theme. Take the decor of the rest of the room into consideration so that the colors, lighting and your own likes and dislikes are accounted for.

This past week I designed my younger brother's bedroom ceiling around a classic deep space theme. The key is to include as many fresh elements as possible to make it authentic. Stars, constellations, aliens, planets, meteors, galaxies... The glow-in-the-dark paint gave the starscape mural an entirely awesome look.

Interior design inspiration?

.

I am a young adult and am moving into my first apartment in a couple weeks. The color scheme will be strictly black, white, and red. I am a fan of modern looks, while mixing timeless items in as well. I will be living in a studio, so too much furniture will not be necessary.

Does anyone know where I can find inspiration or rooms that look like what I just described? Thanks in advance.

What is a good waiting metaphor?

little girls bedroom decor image

Ashley

Imagine a little girl in her castle bedroom, green and copper decor. Se is waiting up all night to hear hoofprints of a carriage delivering a new member for the castle staff. She waited like a child waiting anxiously for Christmas.

This is part of a story im writing, and i need a good metaphor to describe this little girl's waiting. This is a medieval alternate universe without christmas. Does anyone have any ideas or good websites?

Answer
No, actually you don't need a metaphor. Show the wait. Show the anticipation. Show all the angst she's going through. If it's all that important to the story, show it. Metaphors are when you want to tell, because it's not quite worth the show, but it's a little more important than a tell.

Where can I find Toy Story decor for my little girl, preferably Jessie?

Kaye

My 2 year-old daughter loves all the Toy Story movies; we watch all 3 literally everyday. She has the "real" Jessie and Buzz toys and makes them kiss all the time. I really want to do her room in Toy Story but everything is clearly for little boys. Has anyone seen any Toy Story girl bedding, curtains, or anything at all? I already have the wall stickers, but that seems to be the only thing available in the USA. Fabric would be great too because I sew and would be able to just make her a sheet set and quilt if I could find Jessie fabric.

Answer
How do you feel about ebay? I found Jessie items there including a brand new whole bedding set, dresser drawer pulls , light switch covers, a sheet ( used but you could make a cute curtain for her room ) , pillow case here are a couple of links ....But remember to keep checking there cause new stuff comes up all the time !

How would I decorate a teen boy's bedroom with Big Bang Theory theme?

bedroom decor items image

Anonymous1

I need to make this room zazzy!! I am thinking of changing the curtains, possibly bedding and all of the wall decor. I am looking for ideas and inspiration. Can anyone think of any geek chic ideas? Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Answer
Well for sure you need a 'bat signal' alarm clock. You can look up some physics equations on line and put them on a wall or on a whiteboard stuck in the room. Sheldon is alway popular for Big Bang fans. He likes his flannel plaids. I don't know if they have big bang sheets or anything but Sheldon does sleep with his infamous comforter that has the two different colors of blue (one on each side) and the white stripe down the middle so he can perfectly line himself up to sleep. He also uses his Star War sheets. Any superhero items such as the Green Lantern, Flash, Batman items are good as well. There are a lot of places on line (on eBay as well) where you can get decals of sayings that are show favorites. My niece got one of Sheldon's 'Soft Kitty' song and put it up on her wall. There are also lots of places on line that sell items (t-shirts, etc) that are like those on the show.

How do I decorate my bedroom like a teenager's in the 1940s?

Mary

I am 17 and have become obsessed with the 1940's how can I make my bedroom like that of a 17 year old girl in the 1940's.

Answer
If she was a typical middle class girl, her parents would be more concerned about WWll and survival, and less concerned about the decor of their children.
A spare, stark room, with muted floral wallpaper, perhaps in cream or pale rose.
A metal bed frame painted in a dark brown enamel, or a hand-me down mahogany wooden bed. Probably a single bed, and often more than one child sharing the room.
Basic linens on the bed. Always plain white cotton sheets. No fitted sheets. A woolen blanket, in rose, cream, green or brown. No duvet or comforter, a bedspread, usually chenille, a homemade quilt, or a crocheted cotton family-made item.

A chest of drawers with a dresser scarf on top. A small framed mirror. or a hand mirror, brush and comb on top of the dresser.

A small closet with wooden door.

An overhead light with a glass shade. Sometimes a simple wall-sconce type lamp.

A small framed picture of a religious nature, or a reproduction of a historical portrait or landscape.

http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/4859960/teen-bedroom-decor-girls-bedroom-rockstar_Full.jpg you could do something like this and paint walls different colors..
If you like the color red you could do this: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDLzOaUlXKIo9YcV-tnbiTh10O3Dnc51U8Yu4-nT3nQaMbdqX9am0ztroe-KTaOvszW4fc_4uln-VEKZ48RGDGUVRQL3CcZTeO6XQoKkff3kmv2ktpSALNndvmbnRq4Jn8tmYIEAm14o9c/


I think Gray would be nice against your pink carpet, or bright colors like Orange and yellow.. I would probably steer clear of greens or purples. I think those would clash! Hope you like some of these!

i would also get a dart board, maybe a mini fridge and microwave(just in case you get the munchies) if you have a guitar leave it out or get a hook so you can hang it on your wall. you should get a stereo or and ihome(if you have an ipod/mp3) so you can have non-stop rocking! you should collect some of your fav bands cd/records and put them all around get some posters(bands, video games, chicks) and hang them up too , as for furniture maybe get a futon, that way you can have it as a couch when playing video games(or if you have a girl over....) and it turns into a bed (hehe.......) that room will be totally wicked

What color should I paint my bedroom?

rustic bedroom decor image

Jake

I'd like it to be cozy, warm, and to give it a rustic feel. My room is sort of themed around nature, but like Maine or Canadian woods sort of nature. There is a large wood slab on the wall, and other walking sticks and natural things like that around, so I think a shade of brown might be best, but the color is not limited to brown. The only thing is that my room is smaller, and the color should not make the room appear drab or light sucking. Also if you have any ideas one or two other colors to compliment the palette would help, thanks.

Answer
I would go with a sage green and taupe for the trim. I like the colors of camouflage. Still, that depends on what color most of the other items in your decor will be, unless you're starting fresh with bedding and curtains. I think both of these colors would look great with either burnt orange or charcoal grey.

How should I decorate my boys room?

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.

where can I find good ideas to decorate a teen boys bedroom besides Pottery Barn?

big*daddy

Answer
For teen boys less is more. No theme or over decoration. Color is great though. Work with what he already has, no sense going out and buying nice furniture when he'll be off to college soon anyways. A coat of paint, some new bedding and some simple art is all you need. If he has friends over a lot, make it a space where they can hang out with seating and access to their game systems, movie. music, whatever he's into. I wouldn't try and put chinsy art and decorative items around on his nightstand or dresser though. Teen boys tend to not appreciate this sort of thing.

Modern, clean and paired down is great for boys. A couple bold colors paired with a neutral like gray, black, white or khaki is great. Orange, Blue and Yellow are great colors to use as long as their strong and bold rather than soft and pastel.

Here are some pictures to get you going:

Teenage boy bedroom decorating ideas and tips?

boys bedroom ideas teenage image

Q. My son is coming home in a month and I want to give him a "new bedroom",The problem is I am on a TIGHT BUDGET,He loves music and has his drums and guitars already in there.He also likes calming classy colors.Any ideas how I can incorporate the 2 and on a budget?

Answer
Well, my older bro has his room painted a dark brownish tan color, with blue bedding. its very calming. he also likes music so he has a couple framed pics of some of his favorite bands on the wall. he also doesnt have alot of furniture, which is helpful for him because its more space to do stuff in. all teenage boys are messy, so my parents have a few storage places for him in there under his bed and in his closet. i hope that helps!

What are good ideas for a teenage boys room to smell good?

Noclue

Everytime he opens his bedroom door it smells like a mens locker room what can I do or put in his room so it would smell good and won't seep into other parts of my house. I don't want to hurt his feelings ..... I just need a solution for this locker room smell. Help please, I've tried sprays also.

Answer
My younger brothers(all 3 of them, imagine THAT smell) are the same way---I move out of the house and can't stand to go back because it's like the smell multiplied! Here's some tricks my mom uses:

*Sneak dryer sheets wherever you can hide them, under his mattress, in the bottom of the laundry bin, in drawers.
*Regularly spray the room with febreeze, the kind for surfaces and for air. My mom goes through a family size bottle a week. Guys don't like Febreeze usually, don't let him know you're doing it.
*Don't use scented air fresheners, they just make the room smell like berry breeze body odor--NOT pleasant.
*Regularly ridding the room of dirty laundry helps, as does changing his sheets regularly.
*Try to encourage your son to shower before laying in his bed, I know this is tricky and you might have to be creative in how you get him to want to shower. Cash or food rewards are always welcomed ;)

Good luck--boys are gross, and sadly they never grow out of it, I have to encourage my fiance to shower and put deodorant on as well, *sigh*
