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:

please tell me if im being mean to my kids with my daycare?

4 due in S

I will try to keep this short but i want you to have enough info to think about your answer

i have started caring for kids in my home I have just today been approved by the state to be listed having background checks and all im going friday to get my DBA name and tax id #


currently I am caring for 1 child only since i lost my other two( siblings ) after they had to move out of state

I also have my 5 month old baby with me

I am a mother of 3 kids the other two are with me part time and are school age 5 year old girl and 6 year old boy

I have a 1500 sq home 3 bedrooms 2 baths

my husband and i have one room
my two older kids have their bunk beds ( but are together as bunk beds) in another room and my baby has her room but she still sleeps in my room and probably will for a few more months for easier feeding and my not wanting to let her be a big girl i guess

I know lots of parents are more prone to pick a home daycare that has a dedicated play room that is kid friendly with centers for Reading, dramatic play, art area, area with cars and blocks, play kitchen etc.

I have been thinking of moving my baby's crib changing table dresser and chair into the bigger kids room or at least her crib and dresser i could put the changing table and chair in the living room

the larger room my older kids share is 13 by 13 sq feet

the baby's room that would become the daycare room is 10 by 12 sq feet

but i am worried that people will think that im a bad parent for putting all three kids in the same room ( even though its a pretty big room and i could make the bunk beds back as bunk beds if i had to)

just to have a daycare / play room

we really need the income and its hard to find kids to care for since there are so many moms offering to baby sit cheap ( even though they just stick the kids in front of the tv all day and I don't)

would you see this is being mean or bad parenting since they would have the play room they would not even be in their room most of the time other than sleeping any way.

i have a website if you want to see how my living room is set up now or the kids

www*kristashomechildcare*weebly*com remove the * and replace with a period since it wont let me actually post the link to the website
also we are planning to buy a 5 bedrroom or 4 bedroom with 2 living rooms but that cant happen until we fix our credit we just signed another lease so it will stay like that for another year until dec 2010
also we are planning to buy a 5 bedrroom or 4 bedroom with 2 living rooms but that cant happen until we fix our credit we just signed another lease so it will stay like that for another year until dec 2010
i could also put the baby in our room since my husband works over night any way and she would be with me during the day while he was sleeping.

and my baby would for sure stay in my room until she could sleep through the night with out any problems
no we dont have a basement. we live in a very nice brand new mobile home in a very nice community with playground and swimming pool and is gated and well maintained ( just info for those that would hate on a mobile home)
like i mentioned i only have my kids part time they are usually with their dad since they go to school in his school district and are here on the weekends only
I dont realy have an option to not watch kids if i dont then we move to a smaller apartment making my kids get even less space and no yard to play in. so for us we have to provide for the family

Answer
I don't think it's mean. For t he last 3 years I have had 3 kids living with me full time and 4 part time. A total of 7 kids. Our house is 1200 sq ft, 3bd 2ba. We have had 4 girls in one room and 2 boys in the other room, 1 girl (the youngest) would go back and forth. But my part timers were only here on holidays from school. If they were here more often, I would give the girls the master bedroom and hubby and I would take one of the smaller ones.
It's not bad parenting to do what you need to do to survive financially. But maybe you could consider giving up your larger room to the kids and you taking the 13 x13 room.

Bedroom Decorating Ideas + Convincing?

Audrey

So I know I have asked this question before but I am asking again so please help me! So I moved into the house i live in now when I was two years old. I still have the same bedroom which is about the size of a dorm room maybe a bit smaller. Now I will tell you flat out that my parents can be are cheap on a lot of things. Six years ago my brother was born and got the guest room which is bigger and more spacious than mine. Note until I was nine I was an only child. I did not want a sibling thought if I did everything right he just wouldnt come. So when my mom asked if i wanted the bigger room I said no. I said no for many reasons. For one i wanted part of my life to stay the same I also as i said was hoping he just wouldnt come. I was nine and scared what can i say? Anyway since my bro has been born I have gotten my walls re-painted by my dad and the same furniture i have had re-arranged. Thats it! I got to do that when I was about 11 years old. Now i am almost 15 and I kind of want a bigger room and a room that refelects me who I am. I honestly do not see any reason a six year old little boy needs a bigger room than an 15 year old teenage girl. I do not want all new furniture bed or anything
I want:
The bigger room-my brothers
To Paint it
Get a Duvet
New lamp possibly

Thats basically it. My furniture is easy to go with anything as it is natural looking. Anyway i need help with two things:

Thing One: HOW and HELP to get my parents to agree to get me that room. I was thinking about just asking every christmas, birthday, stuff like that till they get the idea but by then i will be a sophmore/junior almost in collgege and they wont agree cause i will be moving out soon. So help with that

Thing Two:Help Decorating. I want something new and fresh. NO PINK!! I live in the beach area and was thinking green/ yellow/orange but i am open to all ideas. PS help with a lamp?

Do you think this is un reasonable?
I really like this kind of room. What do you think ? http://www.zimbio.com/Teen+Bedroom+Decorating+Ideas/articles/2/Great+Teen+Bedroom+Decorating+Ideas+Girls

PLEASE HELP STILL
I like i think it is the first one of the rooms. The light blue walls and white furniture
Alice- I might see your point but my brother dosnt care and my room is this weird blue color same as his room.

Answer
First things first, you need to sit down and talk to your parents. Say "Mom and Dad I need to talk to you about something and then repeat to them everything you just told us. For God's sake don't let your lil brother hear you say you didn't want him though. I'm sure you love him. Little brothers are just a pain sometimes. As for decorating, you need to things to begin with: a theme and a color pallet. For some basic styles check out www.artsparx.com. Remember that bedrooms are supposed to be cool and relaxing so avoid bright and warm colors unless you want to use them in accent pieces like pillows and comforters etc. (this adds texture to the room) I prefer trios of two colors of the same warmth plus their tertiary (Blue+Green+Blue-Green) and a neutral like white or dark brown with accents in every color of the rainbow for art work and decor. Remember that in a restricted space function comes before fashion so everything you use should have a purpose like storage or light for reading. As for lamps, search for some Art Deco and Art Neovo.

What Would Be A Cool Bedroom Theme For An 12 Year Old Boy?

Adam G

Answer
When decorating a teen boy's bedroom the decor you decide upon will depend on the teen in question. But there are a number of different ideas that you can explore and these bedroom decorating ideas for a teenage boys space will hopefully produce a room that they will enjoy.

Color

It is a good idea to paint the walls of your teen's room in deep or vibrant colours (such as purple or blue) and then use lighter coloured furniture which will provide accent to the walls.

Wall Art and Shelving

Normally the wall art you should be looking for to decorate a teen boy's room is murals with a sports theme or motor sport theme. Look at very modern shelving in order to display any trophies that they may have on them.

Bedding
When choosing the bedding for your teen boys bedroom is to go with the flow and use that which links in to the overall theme of the room.

For example if you teens room is based on a surf theme then you could paint the walls in an ocean blue colour and then cover them with surf and surfer murals. There are plenty of places where you can purchase bedding that will perfectly match the theme that they have.

Or why not go for a solid colour theme to the room and use other colours in small amounts which will enhance the overall design of the room.

Study Area

When decorating your teen's bedroom include an area for them to study. Each teen will have a different way in which they study and there are many types of different tables available which will suit your particular teens study needs.

Lastly but by no means least, when you are looking at bedroom decorating ideas for teenage boys then you should wherever possible involve them in the whole process. You should allow them to have a say as to what colours, theme and designs they want included in the decorating as well as what kind of furniture they would like to have.

I hope this was of some help!
Good Luck, ;-)

Colour schemes for small bedroom?

Hero

I'm 16 and my bedrooms being redecorated. I'm not having paint again, so wallpaper and probably carpet. Just, colours/style for both, need help deciding something that will look good :] thankyou.
Also is wood-flooring a bad idea for bedrooms?

Answer
I would suggest a light color for paint in the walls.
Light colors make a room look larger and not so cave like.

Light blue, cream or greens are nice.

Wood flooring is a great idea.
It will make the room look larger, too.

Here are some links for ideas for your room. Maybe try a mural instead of wall paper.

Rustic elegant decor/color scheme....?

mrsjillroc

Hi. I have a lovely two story brick faced colorado colonial. Inside there is solid Alder doors and wide floor trim in Alder (simialr to knotty pine but nicer) and the interior windows are all trimmed in Alder as well. I am preparing a color scheme with Eddie Bauer colors that are rich and deep in intensity. Do you think a pallete of four colors is too much for the house? I am picking a color called Oatmeal (sort of a gray/beige (warm) for most of the open areas. Livingroom , three walls Parika and one wall oatmeal....kitchen shares space with open livingroom so pulling Parika in and ceiling trim with oatmeal. Seperate rooms not "visual" at a glance include office, diningroom and bedroom. Color schemes are hunter green, ivory ceiling, oatmeal sopphits and "chocolate" with ivory ceiling in master suite. I am worried....any input? I have lots of wood, wrought iron and stone in the house with leather sofas...I am hoping this warms things up a bit and will be softening the room further with Dupoini silk curtain panels.....honest feedback please.....thanks.

Answer
That is definitley not too many colors for a house. In the house we just sold we had a different color in every room and we had a very rustic looking homw and I got so many compliments. Also I love the colors you have selected. Hunter green is big this year. My only suggestion is that if you do darker colors in all the ajoining rooms make atleat one wall a focal wall and make it a lighter softer color because darker colors make your space look smaller than they are. Good luck.

Moving to Switzerland from America?

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 :)

Calling creative, think outside the box types - toddler boy bedroom decor dilemma?

BG

When my 2 yr old boy was 5 mos old, I bought a used race car toddler bed from a friend at a good price. I've stored it since then. Now that he's almost ready for the move to the toddler bed, I'm faced with the dilemma of decorating his room.

The thing is that his interest and love is animals, specifically safari type animals, like zebra, giraffe, elephant, lion, tiger, etc. He loves watching Diego and his animals, and is absolutely enthralled with the Madagascar movies, Kung Foo Panda, and Happy Feet.

His room currently doesn't have a theme, but when he moves to a toddler bed, I'm going to decorate it. I want to do it in animals, obviously.

I'm looking for any ideas about how I could possibly incorporate the race car bed into a jungle safari. Or, do you think it even matters? Or, do you think I should sell the bed, and get something different (my least favorite option, just due to not having time or energy to try to sell the race car bed).

Answer
I like the idea of painting the racecar bed a khaki color and turning it into a safari vehicle, there are tons of plastic paints available.

Or, turn it into a jungle race, make little cloth helmets for his animals w/ numbers on them, and teach him how to "race" w/ them. That would be absolutely adorable and unique ;)

Good luck!

Bedroom decor?

hollymccar

Any ideas on how to decorate this on a TIGHT budget? I'm open to all suggestions on colors, themes, etc.:) Details appreciated.
My bedroom : hardwood floors, no furniture yet. Off white walls (can paint), White doors and trim. Two tall, narrow windows. About 7 or 8 feet tall, start about two feet off floor and about 4 inches from ceiling. Pretty small. We have a queen size bed and after that there is probably enough room for say, a dresser and desk and then a bit left to walk through. Not much space at all. Just looking for some fresh, creative ideas from people instead of websites:)

Answer
i got the same problem with my small bedroom in my apartment. theres only room for a bed and a dresser with nightstands. for ur windows, go to aj wright, value city, walmart, places like that and get curtains for ur windows. since its a bedroom, its a place to relax and ease ur mind before going to bed. ur gona want soothing colors. for ur wall, i suggest either soft blues, cream colors, pink, or yellow...even softer greens go good. now back to the window curtains, u dont wanna use the same color curtains as ur walls...and dont get sheers for the bedroom unless u want blinds...u want ur bedroom as private as possible. if ur using blue walls for example, get dark blue curtains...make sure the color of ur curtains match the color of ur bed linen and comforters. use cotton or polyester materials. angle ur dresser against one of the corners of ur walls to give ur bedroom a nice look. at the fooot of ur bed, on the floor, put down a nice rug. make sure the rug has colors that can accent the theme colors of ur bedroom. u can get some cheap, fake houseplants from walmart, and put those in ur bedroom to give a natural/warm look to it. put ur bed in the center of ur room, head of the bed against a wall, dont put the head of ur bed against a window because what ever happens outside, u can hear through the window and it will wake u up. get a night stand or 2, and put it beside the head of ur bed, and also getta lamp. so many ways to decorate a bedroom, no matter what the size is. i got the tropical beach theme in my bedroom and got most of my stuff from value city and walmart...very cheap prices!!!

What is some nice creative decor for a small space In my bedroom?

Nikki

I'm a teenage girl and I have a corner in my room between two windows which looks really bare, I have my tv in the corner on a cabinet but I was just looking if anyone new what decorative ideas I could do with the wall. I thought of a photo collage but I thought it might look a little weird since its a corner. But I'm open to any suggestions

Answer
Well it depends on how far away the windows are from the corner of the wall and the colour of your room but I am a teenage girl too and I think maybe one of the following could look cute:
- Wall stickers (they have a sticky backing and look like wall art but can be peeled off if you want to change it)
- small canvases (I live in Australia and there is a really cool store called Typo which has cute canvases so you could have three that continue a picture e.g. first canvas is the branch of a tree, 2nd canvas if the trunk ad 3rd is the other side of the tree)
- Wallpaper on one wall only
- On the cabinet you could put those 3D letters in different fonts that spell something important to you e.g. 'love' or your name or someting

This is a fun, family friendly garlic themed restaurant. Big! Lots of differently decorated rooms. We sat in the Vampire Room...very funny! Food was out of this world good. Not too heavy in garlic, but it's definitely got garlic in it, like garlic bread, roasted garlic, garlic vegetables, garlic steak, garlic chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, they even have garlic ice cream. Don't say eeewww!, Garlic ice cream was darn good! You've got to try it!

Bedroom ideas for 3 boys?

J

My three sons are going to be sharing one bedroom. They are aged 6 1/2, 4 and 4. The bedroom that is going to be theirs is pretty large (14-4tf X 12ft) and has a bathroom and a large closet. Does anyone have any ideas on how to organize and arrange the three kids in one room? I would to give them some space away from each other. Any themes are appreciated as well. Thanks!
I'm going to put this question in the parenting section too, in case anyone has ever been in my situation.

Answer
I like the idea of two sets of twin bunk beds, also. In particular, this is better than:

-three separate beds eating all your floor space.
-a double on bottom, twin on top bunk that would sleep all of them now but they can't stay this way for long...how long can two boys sleep together in a double bed?
-a loft-type system that can be dangerous if you don't execute it properly, and expensive if you buy a kit or have it done professionally.
-PLUS you get room for a buddy to sleep over.
-AND you have room for the twins to be at ground level and your older son to be up top like the big boy he is. As they grow up and top bunk is more inconvenient than cool, and anyone can be up there safely, they can rotate the sleeping arrangements.

As for storage spaces, I would say like with the beds, you need to go up where you can. Just don't put things so high that kids can't safely reach and do for themselves. As they get taller and more coordinated you will have more freedom to build up.

I don't know how you feel about individuality and where you draw the lines. I think each kid should definitely be allowed his own things, and personality, of course this is true. But you might consider some things community property to be stored together and shared among them...some of their toys and books and media, more expensive stuff like their TV and game systems and maybe some sports equipment...

One thing I would do if I had three young boys that close in age is extend this principle to socks and maybe even underwear too. I would gather up every one of their current socks and toss them out...and replace them with 50-60 or so pairs of IDENTICAL cheap white socks for them all to share. Keep dirty in the bathroom in a big roughtote or maybe even a kitchen style wastebasket with a swinging lid, labelled boys whites...wash them all together once a week in hot with bleach to keep them sanitary and bright...dump them unfolded into another container for storage of clean. This eliminates the drama of pairing up socks and sorting among people, and the waste if any get ruined or go missing. You might keep another (smaller) collection of identical black dress socks. Clean out and replace everything every year, maybe in the spring when you are spring cleaning and organizing, and when you aren't already saddled with back to school expenses or holiday gifts. This might be a hundred dollars or so expense every year. A small price to pay for such convenience all year. I think you can get at least another five years out of the collective sock arrangement. You might have to abandon the underwear clause a little sooner hahahh.

As for decor, I would go with a larger theme for the room, and each kids personal things...their dresser, their desk, their backpack, can be done in a particular element of that theme to both express themselves and distinguish their stuff. A bit like color coding but a little more descriptive I guess.

Animal themes abound...could do the room in the big theme and each kid decorates their stuff with an animal...you could do farm (duck, goat, horse) pets (dog, cat, hamster) dinosaurs (bronto, stego, pterydactyl) bugs (grasshopper, spider, bee) zoo (zebra, elephant, giraffe) etc. You could do sports...do the room to look like a stadium or locker room or sportscasters studio, or hang jerseys and display sports equipment. Each kid gets a separate team...or same sport, each kid rocks pro-college-their school, or each kid decorates with a different sport. You could do music...album covers or music notes, etc...and each kid gets a different singer or band or rapper, or each kid gets a different instrument. You could do games...decorate with vintage game boards, and get lamps and furniture that resemble game pieces. Each kid could be cards, dominoes, and dice. You could do a cartoon room...each kid decorates with a different cartoon. Or do a Disney room and each kid gets a different character. You could do bright colors and everyone gets a different shape...circles, squares, triangles.

Hi - the thing is you have not said where you are from - the uk, usa etc - so it is difficult to tell you specific shops cos as you know there are different shops in each country.

I have no idea what to paint my room?

blondie

So I just bought all white furniture for my new bedroom and that's all I have right now.. Im 16 about to be a junior in high school. I want a blue, white, and silver/gray room color scheme but I'm having trouble. I want a light blue bedroom ( Slick Blue, sherwin Williams) but I don't know if I can make the walls, furniture and comforter match... If I have blue walls, then I can't have a blue comforter. If I have a white comforter then the furniture be white they would just clash.. I wouldn't mind painting my room a pretty silvery gray if I could find a bright enough color to make my room bright. All I know is that I want blue and silver/gray in my bedroom and NO black!

Which should I do?
-Slick blue sherwin Williams wall, white furniture, white comforter with silver sparkle decorative pillows, and white picture frames with silver decorations

-Light gray walls, white furniture, blue comforter, white picture frames with blue decorations

Or any thing you come up with to make it better! THANKS!!

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

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 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.

Buzzillions has lots of good reviews though:

Treat it like you would any other good furniture. Clean and protect it. Oil and reseal the wood, tighten screws, fix loose or broken/cracked parts, and check it for wear regularly.

Good luck!

Do you have any possible room decorating ideas?

Paige

I spend most of my time in my room. I do my computer stuff in there, eat snacks, watch T.V, and chill with my friends in that room, it's like my mini house. I am really into girly things and my current room is blue. It is 10ft by 8ft (on the small side..)
My little sis watched a show called "iCarly" for a while and I really liked Carly's bedroom when she put it on. I also have a lot of stuff, a TON! So I'd need a lot of storage.. Like 100 nail polishes, TBH, lol.
I like a lot of pink and white (girly) stuff and am an organization freak.. Let me know if you have any suggestions?

Answer
Well, one of the best things to do is take stock of what you HAVE and then what you NEED. You need storage, you say? I recommend Goggling decorative storage and looking at those. Also, how do you want to store them (we'll use the nail polish bottles as an example)? Do you want them out of sight, or might you want to use them as decorative pieces when not in use? If so, consider a plain shelf, nothing too elaborate, that has a few levels to it. Maybe arrange them by color to make a statement!

Unfortunately, 'girly' encompasses a LOT of styles. Are you modern girly? Traditional? A mish-mash?

I definitely recommend taking style quizzes and looking at the following site for ideas: http://kidsthemebedrooms.com/ Yes I know it says 'kids', but it's more than that! There's ideas for all sorts of themes for all ages. I've used them for ideas for years myself.

One point of note: Since your room is a bit small, I recommend multi-function pieces and utilizing vertical space. Got stuffed animals? Buy a net that goes in the upper corner and stick them there. Another idea for showing off pretty polishes is using spice shelves. They're tiered like stairs, and show off the small items without hiding them or taking up too much room. Here is a search of them on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p_n_feature_keywords_1?rh=n%3A1055398%2Cn%3A%211063498%2Cn%3A284507%2Cn%3A289754%2Cn%3A289779%2Cn%3A510156%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A2827206011&bbn=510156&ie=UTF8&qid=1364616102
and here's a good example: http://www.amazon.com/Seville-Classics-3-Tier-Expandable-Organizer/dp/B001E2864K/ref=sr_1_4?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1364616171&sr=1-4

Also recommend using shelves (wall and book) for displaying and holding items. Just make sure you don't have too much that the room becomes cramped feeling!

I hope I was able to help a little bit.

Decorating my way, AND considering my boyfriend...?

boys bedroom ideas diy image

Becca

So, my boyfriend moved into my house a few months ago. I've managed to remove most of the ex-tenants horridly wild/ disturbing "decorating" by now. I mean, the kitchen and bathroom and master bedroom were the most disgusting shade of pink. (I don't mind a little bit of pink, here and there) but it is not my most favorite of colours.
However, my main problem stands in the fact that I adore everything cute and shabby-chic-y/ vintage, and I would like to decorate my bedroom in a similar fashion.
He said it wasn't the manliest style going, and he isn't wrong.
I have taken him to B&Q and dragged him around the home & DIY sections in every shop we've been in, and the things he's pointed out, has enforced the rule that he must have a signed letter of permission when buying paint/ wallpaper.
Of course, I'd love to decorate it like so, but it's a little bit girly to share with a boy. I would like some ideas as to what I can do to make it suit us both?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Answer
Neutral wall color, maybe a cream or pale grey. Geometric patterned fabrics, not bold but complementary to the wall color.

Guys always want a black leather sofa and a wall size TV, when they get older a huge recliner. Be prepared.

Newborn baby boy bedroom theme ideas?

Proud Momm

ideas for a theme for a newborn baby boy

Answer
Light green, maybe frogs. You could do just simple stuff, bumblebees, sailor(there are awesome pillows at homegoods with a compass, some that say ahoy, some say sail, and theres a lamp with waves and a fish on it. its so adorable. And If you have a window in his room, put a bar over it(for safety) but also then you get get like a pirate ship wheel, put it on there and when he gets older he can pretend like hes a pirate and stuff. I don't know. Maybe clouds or something, you can also just keep it simple. But if you go with a theme I 100% totally suggest wall decals. They're awesome, theres tons of cute ones, you can put wall decal ABC's on his wall or his name as well with whatever theme decals you have. But they look real, the don't mess up the wall, they're cute, perfect, and you don't have to deal with the hassal and messiness of paint or having someone paint the walls. Plus hes obviously going to get older and grow out of it, and all you have to do is peel them off. If you dont already have one, get a Pinterest account. They have great DIY easy projects and stuff you can do to add to his nursery theme. Hope this helps you at least a little bit. Good luck, and Congratulations!

How to decorate a hunter green room into a kids room?

gr8mom

We just moved into a rental home. So excited but one of the bedrooms is HUNTER GREEN! That's not even the worse part. It has a deer at a pond border going all the way around the room. Its a guys type room. I don't have any boys just girls and we want to turn this into the play room. We got them a multi colored pink and purple lamp and a purple carpet to try to lighten it up. But does anyone have any other ideas. No we can not paint. Thanks for your time!

Answer
You could hang lines (either retractable clothes lines, or tension rods), to drape curtains or fabric from, around the entire room.

Where is the wallpaper border at? If it is at the top, you could hang valances around the room to cover that and leave the rest of the walls green (see below)- either white so it would blend in with the ceiling or perhaps a cloud print.

With the green walls, you could use accessories to give it a fairies in the forest theme/feeling.

Have you asked about painting? It is not very expensive, and you could present it as your doing an upgrade FOR the landlord and that make him/her more open to it.

What are some cute twins names? And some cute ideas for twins bedrooms?

Emalee

My name is emalee and my boyfriends name is Dustin and we are having
Twins. We need help finding names and bedroom ideas I love saying and bright colors but Dustin likes the out door thems. And we are having a boy and a girl.

Answer
Just make sure the names don't match, don't rhyme, don't start with the same letter, aren't connected (like Romeo and Juliet), don't shorten to the same thing (Christopher and Christine). Name them as if they were individuals.

You could divide the room in two and decorate each half for each kid. Or have a bright color outdoor room. Strong greens and blues, for example. Sunshine yellow and lake blue.

Disney movies. Like the little mermaid, beauty and the beast, tangled, Aladdin, Snow white, sleeping beauty. etc.

I don't want anything directly related to the movies, but more of indirect things and how they would fit into bedroom decor. Thanks, and I'm sorry for the vague, weird question.

Answer
get the room painted in coral or soft pink, turquoise etc colors. add up the brightness with dark color carpet or rug. like bright pink, purple etc. if you don't like the bright color you can stick to soft colors but you can put printed curtains to glam up the room.
make sure you choose one theme. since you are 17 you can choose snow white, sleeping beauty. pink and off white will be perfect colors. go for decorated mirrors, crowns as your table lamp, fur couch etc.
oh and this is not an weird question every teens thinks about it. its very normal. bring life to your dreams and you will see how beautiful your room gets.

With cherrywood furniture in the bedroom what color would you suggest for the wall? I don't have window treatments yet either. Thanks for your suggestions.

Answer
cherrywood is going well with most colors. light yellow, green, blue may good for bedroom. pink and other bright color bring energy if you try.

How could I decorate a bedroom like this?

bedroom decor beach image

Amy M

I found a pear shaped pillow today and now I want to do a bedroom in fruits. I love the idea of fruit shaped pillows, even if finding them online is not as easy as I want it to be. What all could be done to decorate a room in a fruit manner?

Answer
Sounds like a really cute room!

To start, I'd choose a theme that could go with fruit. You could do a tropical fruit theme, and do a sort of beach/tropics room to go with it.

Paint your walls a nice sand color, or blue if you want it to feel like the ocean. Find tropical bedding that would feature a fruit or two. You can often find tropical trees on a duvet cover, and they may also have the odd pineapple and banana featured as well.

For curtains, go out and buy some shower hooks with a pineapple or other fruit on them. I've seen them in home decor stores. Hang your curtain through the hooks. It adds a nice touch to your window.

On your floor, it may be difficult to find an area rug that features only fruit, so continue with the tropical feel by adding an area rug like this http://www.houseofarearugs.com/Zuma-Beach-p-332.html .

Make your own fruit shaped pillows by tracing a pattern out on fabric and stuffing them yourself. You could do an apple in red fabric or a banana in yellow.

Any good ideas to redo my bedroom in a beach theme??

Q. i have a bedspread that's blue and brown polka dots, and i'm thinking of maybe painting my walls a light blue color, and hanging up a beach picture. but i need more ideas!!! thanx!! =)

Answer
Hi,
Yeah wow, you're on the road, for a great beach theme room.

Some other great ideas are:

-Wicker baskets, with blue or white lining inside. or small wicker trays with large and small sea shells.

-bright white trim, like white molding around the ceiling, and white molding around your doors, bright white though.

- you may not want too, but will look good, is painting your nightstand (s) and other furniature, white, the white painted look is in when it comes to beach house apeal, it's very common in virgina, and other coastal homes.

-a fun additive, is palm tree accents, although you have to like that rustic feeling, you can go with the fake or real fern trees, or dressor top plants, it will feel more tropical, and make the room feel cool and airy.

- finding a theme is important, you can go with a dolphin theme, a sailor theme, a ocean submarine theme, a tropical island theme, or just oceanic colors.

-Wood blinds, white or a matching brown. that cordinates with your blanket, wood blinds will accent the blue, and bring out a beach theme. You can also buy mini fish bowls, and fill them with shells, or beach sand, and a few smaller shells.

- bringing in a small aqaurium, will definantly give the final blow for a watery theme. Not only will a nice running water sound relax you in your sleep, the beauty of the fish alone is a relaxing additive.

- if you want to go extreme beach theme, Get some really big sand dollars, and star fish, and mount them on your wall, it's easy to mount with a simple small nail, or a push pin, stagard them a nice pattern above windows, door frames, or above your bed... or if you want purchas a netting, and have them attatched to that, to accent a corner.

There are fun lightings you can get at spencers or a fun shop, that will throw watery light effects onto your ceiling, much like an aqaurium.

also, even walmart, or a target you can get water fountains, that drip down water, with a few decorative rocks, or shells, it can really be fun, alot of craft stores, have Ocean themed crafts, and art accents, that you can find a home for.

Latterns, or light house memorbila, can be old fashion, try to avoid those.

avoid fishy borders in the room, avoid, cheap looking plastic shells, or wall decor, try to stay with real items.

decorating ideas for a teenage girl room?

Q. i want to decorate my room(: i need ideas on like things i could make or that aren't too crazy expensive.? like stuff i could put on the wall or something.? i want it to be kinda creative and bright(:

any ideas.?(:

Answer
First, pick a color scheme you want to use in your room. I recommend this site: http://colorschemedesigner.com/

Then pick a 'theme' if you're into a particular style; shabby chic, boho, girly, etc.find pieces that go well with your theme and color scheme.
Target has some really lovely wall sticks (basically giant stickers you put on your wall that re-usable) and other home furnishings. You could also go to hobby lobby, they have all kinds of decor items, and string/fairy lights! those look good in almost every girls room! For a little extra punch I like the stuff at urban outfitters.

There's a lot of DIY stuff you can make for your room too, like these:
