Newborn sharing room with older brother..IDEAS!?

Sweet Pea

We find out in less than a week what the sex of the baby is, but even if it's a girl, she will be sharing a room with her 4yr old half brother. We only have him every other weekend, so only 2 nights, sometimes even one night out of the week he stays. The room is certainly big enough for the 2. So we've decided to go with a green/teal type decor (which is fine bc even if it's a girl i HATE pink) We also want it to be something that they can grow in.. we're not sure how long till we'll move into a bigger house, but for now this has to work! Any ideas on how to decorate it without it seeming too baby like, or too little boy like???
Thanks for the insult Jessie K... Didn't anyone teach you that if you dont have anything nice to say then you should shut up? Thanks to everyone else for their wonderful input!

Answer
I would steer the room toward the older child, not the baby. The baby isn't aware of the room but a 4 year old will be aware that you are changing things for the baby. Keep a bassinette in your bedroom for the newborn for 6 months so the little boy has his room to himself until the baby can sleep through the night.

Ideas to decorate a bedroom shared by son and daughter?

mommykins

I have a 11 year old boy and a 7 year old girl who share a bedroom. It's a mish mosh of Hannah Montana, High School Musical, skate boarding and sports. I want to make it unisex some how. My daughter isn't so girly to the point where she want's only pink and purple, she's very open to other colors. But I don't want her stuck in a room that's so boyish and I don't want my son stuck in a room so girlish. Neither of them are in to anything cutesy or too young. I feel like the only thing I can do is the basic blue and yellow celestial stuff, BORING! I'm not good with colors outside of the normal neutrals. There room is very small also. Any ideas? I really want them to have a great room!

Answer
Do your children want their own privacy? If so, I would consider getting a divider that separates each one to their own privacy. This way it makes them feel like they have their own room. Then let them decorate with whatever they like. Another idea, if they don't want to be divided is to go with a theme of the beach. Kids love the beach. You could paint the walls part way down with a sand color and the other half a light blue. Then just do decor and accents of the beach. This would be lots of fun for them to do. Their room would be really nice and cheerful and this would be a neutral. Whatever you decide have fun doing it together. Good Luck!

What other colors would go well with red and turquoise?

Charity

I plan on painting my room this fall and I was thinking of red walls with my turquoise carpet. The only thing is, I don't want to stick with just strictly red and turquoise! I would like some other accent colors that will go well with both of them together. I was thinking of chartreuse, but I need more! I'm going for a 1950s retro look in my room, and I really need some help with a color scheme!

Also, it would be extremely helpful if you could leave links to any cute, 50s inspired furniture or decor!

Help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Answer
Ok so I did a short search on 1950s retro style, and from what I'm seeing and reading the color scheme you're working with is less 50s....even retro. The style of the 50s was plain and boring. Furniture was clean lined, colors were mute and there wasn't much contrast or use of bold colors just yet. So are you trying to tie in 50s style with the colors you've chosen? Your color choice is more of the 70s coming into the 80s. (I'm an 80s baby and we were rocking LOUD colored clothing and everything else..lol) Chartreuse is definitely not going to help with a 50s theme.

Using Turquoise with Other Colors: http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/colorselection/p/turquoise.htm

Keep the soft, feminine qualities going by mixing turquoise with lavender and pale pinks. A bright turquoise and pink create a sparkly clean, retro look. Make it art deco by pairing turquoise with white and black. Turquoise with gray or silver as well as terra cotta and light browns have a Southwestern (U.S.) flavor. Turquoise with orange or yellow creates a fresh, sporty look.

I agree with painting a pastel pink color on your walls for the retro look. Then it'll be easier to get the 50s look you want instead of using red. Then accent with white and black. Just an opinion!

These are just images of how girls decorated their rooms in the 50s: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&biw=1276&bih=686&q=1950+bedroom+style+for+girls&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=iLQSULi3Do-m8QTEooDgCg

Are you sure this is what you want. Considering the 50s was 60 years age it's considered vintage and vintage is MORE EXPENSIVE.

I am interested in visiting Miami in the future and I was wondering what places should I visit?

Mr. Knowle

This will be my first time visiting Miami, Florida.

Answer
Why Go: Trip Ideas

Miami, FL:

Satisfy Your Vices
What's not to love about America's Riviera? At any given hour you'll see bronzed, chiseled bods strutting down shimmering beaches and streets awash in Art Deco style.
Place we love, even if it's touristy: Cruise the "Deco District," a 10-block span along Ocean Drive from Fifth to 14th Streets, thatâs home to more than 800 buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The real deal: Make like a local and sip amazingly potent cafe con leches and smoke aromatic, hand-rolled cigars on Calle Ocho in the heart of Little Havana.

Local flavor: Miami's Floribbean fusion cuisine is a blend of flavors from the south and the tropics. Experiment with sides like lobster mashed potatoes at Astor Place.

Dress code: You might think it's clothing optional, but it's really about baring your best in the scantiest threads, so tighten up and suck in where you can!

Where to blow a paycheck: From Barney's to local boutiques like The Pink Palm, Lincoln Road is considered the Fifth Avenue of the South. If you still have cash, or credit, check out Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue.

Twenty-four hour party people: Sundays at Nikki Beach Club is where to go to see and be seen. Other notable clubs on any night are Shore Club, B.E.D., Tantra, and crobar.

You've got game: Take in a game of Jai Alai, a local past time and the world's fastest ball game. It's part lacrosse, part handball, and you can see it at Miami Jai Alai or Dania Jai-Alai, near Fort Lauderdale.

Chill-out spot: Pretend to read Le Monde as you scout out models and celebs, or just kick back and blatantly gawk at the scene in front of News Cafe on Ocean.


Recommendations & Suggestions:

320
320 Lincoln Road
Phone: 350.531.2800


Former 1990s hotspot Bar Room has been transformed into the most luxe and celeb-packed club of the new millenium. Find a seat near the staircase to the VIP lounge to ogle the jet-set, or snuggle in one of the numerous balconies and nooks. 320 serves a limited menu and the door policy is typical of Miami's hot spots: dress to impress.



B.E.D.
929 Washington Avenue
Phone: 305.532.9070


Drinks in Bed, anyone? Beverage, Entertainment and Dining, that is. In this eatery and club, SoBe's hottest crowd bed-hops while being served by a p.j.-clad wait-staff. This South Beach club-of-the-moment could double as a harem with its exotic and lavish bedroom decor. Take a seat or slip under the covers of one of the made up beds, and who knows who might join you for a drink.


Blue Door at the Delano
1685 Collins Ave. (at 17th St.)


Located in the super-chic Delano Hotel, the Phillipe Starck-designed Blue Door envelops Claude Troisgros' exquisite nouveau French cuisine with floor to ceiling curtains and the flicker of candlelight. Blue Door stays open late and attracts a beautiful crowd (as does most of Miami) to its terrace, offering visual feasts to go along with pleasing entrees like roasted duck with passion fruit and apple puree.



Club Deep
621 Washington Avenue
Phone: 305.532.1509


If you're longing for those plastic-cup, keg-doused college days, then head to Club Deep, where the jet-set don't go, and the bouncer doesn't care what you look like. The kind of place where nobody knows your name and every night is ladies' night. Lose your inhibitions, forget trying to be cool, and dance like you would in your living room to popular hits from the '70s and '80s. Drinks are cheap and specials last until midnight.



Goddess
681 Washington Avenue (between 6th and 7th)
Phone: 305.534.7614


This enchanting club is the jewel in every hipster's crown--anyone who's anyone has danced a night away in the Kama Sutra themed lounge. Buddhas, silk-covered lighting and a harem-like setting exist to seduce the senses while trendsetters seduce each other. Don your best (and tiniest) Eastern inspired outfit and don't fret too much about how much you'll spend--Goddess is friendlier on the wallet than one would expect in flashy South Beach.



Nikki Beach Club
1 Ocean Drive
Phone: 305.538.1111


Swing into St. Tropez at this high-end beachfront club, where Ferraris fill the valet in front of the sea, and famous models have been known to break into impromptu table dances. Yes, there are other hard-to-get-into clubs in South Beach, and there are certainly glamorous people all over this strip, but few clubs have as much class as Nikki. Not to be missed are the Sunday beach parties (yes, during daylight), if you can work your way past the bouncers.



Rain
323 23rd Street
Phone: 305.674.7447


The local, nocturnal, jet-set crowd can now forget about the loss of Groove Jet. Housed in this former space is one of the most popular hip-hop clubs to hit the SoBe scene in recent years. In contrast to the usual over-the-top South Beach clubs, Rain's approach is one of minimalism and paired-down elegance. Lounge on a modernist leather sofa, or dance underneath the stars on the open-air dance-floor. Also in contrast to neighboring clubs, the wait staff at Rain offers service with a smile.


Smith & Wollensky
1 Washington Avenue South Pointe Park
Phone: 305.673.2800


The magnificent waterfront location of this award-winning steakhouse offers unparalleled vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, the downtown Miami skyline and an endless parade of ships through the Government Cut shipping channel, located just a few yards outside the restaurant's oversized picture windows. Paying homage to the original New York institution, Smith & Wollensky is a "steakhouse to end all arguments" and is one of the few steakhouses that still dry-ages its steaks on the premises and does its own butchering. This landmark restaurant is known for serving generous portions of high quality food and is famous for their extensive wine list which highlights Bordeauxs and California Cabernets.

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

Bedroom decor ideas.?

Bronwyn

I am in a small unit and want to redecorate my bedroom. The walls are white and I have wood panel floors. So far I have a white bedspread with a Raspberry throw across the end of the bed and raspberry and white patterned pillows. I think the whole room needs more but I am not sure what to do to add a bit more interest to the room. What colour bed skirt do you think I should have as I am thinking a Raspberry colour may be too overwhelming. Also would introducing touches of lime green be too radical? What sort of rug should I have as well and what type of furniture? (White or woodgrain?). Your suggestions would be much appreciated :)

Answer
oooh i love your ideas so far, im currently in the middle of redecorating my bedroom so im in decor mode (and getting excited for christmas decorating isn't helping either!), any whom depending on what "raspberry" is to you (more red, or more dark/bright pink?) i think accent colors that would work best are; medium bright blue, lime green, or even dark purple. depending on your age and your taste i think you would be happier with purple or blue in the long run (they are a little more mature and will age better) also, for furniture i think that wood grain is the better choice because it comes in many different colors, styles and you can always re stain old furniture to suit a new style. white is more juvenile and it harder to keep clean. for a rug i would go with your accent color, maybe shag..... just a few ideas, hope you like them!

Bedroom color ideas!!!?

Sofia

ok so im 13 and my family is moving into a new house i of course have to have the smallest bedroom ever cause i dont wanna share with any of my sisters so yeah my room is 9 feet by 9 feet i know really small .... i need help with the color scheme i want relaxing and bold colors so any ideas would be nice! thanks

Answer
Well relaxing and bold are pretty much polar opposites, so I think what you should do is pick 2 or 3 colors, one that is soft, and one or two that is bright. Like maybe pale green for the walls, with a bright pink bedspread.

If you maybe want something brighter, try something like the bedroom in this article: http://decor.homefixcorporation.com/2012/04/spring-decorating-orange-you-excited.html
The white and black bedroom with pink and orange pillows. I think that is really cool, and when you get older it will still be appropriate (plus the paint is black and white, so you can switch out the other colors later if you don't like them).

There are some other ideas in that blog, like black white and green I think. I guess it depends what colors you like. I think since your room is small, you should probably only paint one of the walls a color, because the other white walls will make the space seem bigger.

Hope I helped!

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, ;-)

Teen bedroom ideas plz?!!?

Paulina Ra

I want to do somethig fun with my bedroom. I always have the shudders open. Also my small bathroom. What colors should the walls be..? What should i puto n my walls? What about my bed? It has a headboard with an open shelf. Also my closet..? And i have a chair not a recliner but a furniture chair. I need awesome decor ideas!(: for bedroom and bathroom.

Answer
Purple would look nice, but not a dark purple, more like a lilac or lavender. Put up posters, drawings, anything! Maybe above your bed you could have a small shelf with letters that say love or peace or your name. Next to your bed you could put a little rug out for when you get up in the morning, if you have hard wood floors it would work out better. For the bathroom put out a fuzzy rug in front of the sink and get those decorative covers for the toilet seat. and some nice curtains. If you have a shower put the rug there instead. Also, above the sink for the mirror you could have lights surrounding it, like a makeup mirror. Finally with your closet you can hook up some lights in it so when you open it they automatically turn on or get a switch. If you want you can put some paper lanterns on the ceiling or a mini chandelier.

P.S maybe a pod chair or a beanbag chair? (:

Bedroom Decor help!!!!?

Q. Ok. I'm 14 and I am moving into a basement bedroom.
I havn't decided on what to do in my room yet :/

I origionaly wanted an arabian kinda feel... lots of deep reds and golds.. but i had some trouble finding furniture and decorations for it........

Help on finding decorations ??? :-/

Answer
Thats a good idea, I like that arabian color palette.

What you can do, depending on what kind of budget you have, is buy nuetral colored furniture, then buy or make accents in the colors you want. Some ideas for an elaborate arabian theme -

Paint your walls in a rich color. Warm cinnamon red or saffron gold, maybe even a deep sage. Paint the ceiling too. Trim and molding can be done in the same color, or in a dark wood finish or even black.

Go to a fabric store such as Michaels or Joanne Fabric, or even the fabric section at Walmart. Get some silks, satins, and the transparent stuff you see on genie costumes and fairy costumes. Drape these fabrics across the ceiling instead of painting it. Hang a canopy over your bed and use the tranparent fabric to hang around the sides of your bed.

Throw pillows and cusions everywhere. Make your floor look as inviting and comfy as your bed. You can make pillows very easily or buy alot of different cheap pillows, and make pillow cases for them, then trim them with gold rope and tassles using hot glue. Even if your room is carpeted, scatter small rugs also, for a plush, luxurious feeling.

Being in the basement, I imagine you dont have much for windows, so just hang some fabric to look like opened curtains, ceiling to floor, every few feet. Then hang mirrors, paintings or shelves between them. Don't use anything white. Use dark colored wood or black for the frames on pictures and mirrors.

If your parents will let you, set candles everywhere, and have insense at hand. Use an ornate vase to hold your insense, place your insense burner next to it along with some candles and you have yourself an alter of sorts.

Dont forget to have some fake tropical plants. Pick them up at a thrift shop. Actually, alot of things can be bought at a thrift store or resale shop or garage sales - like small tables, chairs, pillows, mirrors, pictures. Then all you need is paint and fabric. No need to buy actual arabian decor retail.

Good luck. Hope it turns out great.

Teen Girl Bedroom Wall Color?

My walls are currently a light shade of brown. However, I was wanting to put a little more color in my room. My comforter is brown, with green, blue, brown, and cream polka dots. Here's a picture:
http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=18cba71&deptid=70753&dep=KIDS+++TEENS&catid=71584&pcat=KIDS+++TEENS&cat=kids+bedding&NOffset=0&pcatid=70753&Ne=949+6+4+5+877+1031+1007+18&N=4294953126+510&SO=0&cattyp=RLE&Nao=0&PSO=0&CmCatId=70753|71584

I also have white bedroom furniture.
If you have any suggestions as to how to give my room more color, other than painting the walls, please tell me!

Answer
Hello Kimberly! Congratulations on the beautiful comforter. With the white bedroom furniture as a neutral, consider using lime green and /or teal blue solid pillows as accents for the bed. Add some teal, Tiffany blue, or light blue colored curtain or drapes. Maybe consider a light or lampshade in a similar shade of blue. A rug would be great in a solid medium or dark brown.

If the teal and lime green are too âheavyâ for you, consider accenting with a medium pink to counter the bold green and brown as pillows, curtains, and lampshades. This may even be dramatic as a wall color.

With the design in the comforter, consider using a wall print or create your own by taking 4 pictures of a small section the comforter (like the large color zoom view), printing them on a color printer, and framing them on the wall.

Best wishes and happy decorating!

Help! Bedroom ideas?

Frankie

Soooo I'm re doing my bedroom. I really like turquoise blue, purple, and orange (my favorite colors). I can't find bedding that has those colors without flowers. I'm not girly at all, and I'm 14. I was thinking a dark purple for paint. And If you could link me to some nice new furniture, paint colors, closet organizers.. anything? It'd be really helpful. Please and thank you.

Answer
Hi Frankie - you say your not a 'girly' girl and not keen on flowers - so how about this plain set of purple and turquoise bedding. I am trying to choose your bedding first and then take the rest of your room i.e. paint for the walls, cushions etc from that. Have a look at these sets to see if there is one you like :)

With this one - an idea of mine was you could purchase the duvet and sham and then purchase turquoise sheets? Which I think would look nice and the quilt is not flowery.

http://www.pbteen.com/products/vintage-paisley-duvet-cover-sham-cool/?pkey=cgirls-duvet-cases&

I think this next one is nice too and you could have either turquoise or purple sheets and pillowcases?

http://www.pbteen.com/products/reef-tie-dye-duvet-sham-girls-blue-multi/?pkey=cgirls-duvet-cases&

You could also perhaps add a one each of purple and turquoise plain cushions?

Your walls for either of the above bedding could be perhaps - say, one feature wall of purple and the others a turquoise - perhaps something like these colours :)

Feature Wall

http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/purplerain

Other Walls

http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/mexicaliturquoise

Furniture

I would go for white - if you want a reasonable priced set of furniture, Ikea do some good ones - there is a choice, but these ones are nice and good value and they do different items in the same style i.e. chest of drawers, nightstand, etc.

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20067829/

http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10203610/ - sorry when I look for a dressing table it wouldn't let me view it on the US site - hence why this is from the GB site.

If you want more expensive then PB Teen do some really nice furniture:

Beachside Bedroom Decor?

Tori

I'm redoing my bedroom. I want it to look like a surfer/ beachside bedroom. I have light colored hard wood floors. I'm going to paint my room and get all new accessories.
What color should I paint my room? & what color bedding, rugs, & curtains? Also what accessories should I get? Lamps, signs, ect?

Answer
Colour scheme: go for light blue or sky blue for the walls but you could have one wall in a sand colour or maybe a sunset. Dark blue for bedding and maybe a rug in the same colour.

You could get an indoor palm tree style plant. Instead of curtains you could get bamboo style (or another woody look) blinds, use a see through multicoloured (with light blue, darkblue, sea green, sand) voile curtain over the blinds so you can draw the blinds up in the day and draw the voile curtains closed to give you privacy without blocking any light.

Have a look at these for some inspiration:

Girl and boy sharing bedroom decorating advice?

Sierra L

My two kids. are 7 year olds and will be sharing a room. One a girl and one a boy. What are some cute bedroom sets that will go together well or were meant to be together, that will look great in their room.

Answer
I wouldn't go with a theme, I would make it colorful, like paint the walls and have neutral curtains and light fixtures but I would be sure that they each had a shelf or some kind of storage to call their own that they can have their things on. I would keep the bedspreads the same color but put pillows and little touches that are different on the beds. For example, a red ladybug pillow for her and a red car pillow for him. The ideas are endless in my head right now. I'm sure you'll come up with something great and they'll love it. Take care.

decorating for teenage boys bedroom?

dustystar

we are moving and the boys are going to be sharing a bedroom, does anyone have any ideas as to how to make the room look cool and give each a little bit of privacy. also they are both interested in music and skateboarding so something maybe with those two themes.

Answer
Skateboarding brings to mind an Urban type of feel. You could get 2 lockers (Pick them up from a second hand shop or your recycling center) so they could keep their stuff private.

Also, use cheap Walmart or Zellers skateboards to make a cool headboard - or pick up some used ones.

Is there a website I can shop for kid furniture and pay around 800 for total bedroom set for my daughter...if?

thebigB

know of a site...please help me out...thanks

Answer
That's just around what I spent on my daughter's bedroom set (not including mattress) bed... headboard, footboad and panel; five draw chest, 3 drawer dresser with mirror, and 1 night stand (all wipeable and comes with necessary safety screws to attach the furniture to the wall).

All purchased at furniturefind.com (free shipping "on just about everything" right now). I furnished my entire house through them. And since the new management, you can find a full kid bedroom set for under $500.

They have well rounded prices of low, mid, and high. Check it out.

decorating kids bedroom & bathroom?

Melissa F

My boyfriend and I don't have his kids stay with us very often so when they do all 4 of them stay in the same bedroom. We haev two sets of bunk beds. The room isn't that big but I would like to set it up so that it is more appealing & more useful to the kids. (2 boys and 2 girls ages 5-10). The room is white.
Bathroom attached is yellow and I have started a fish theme.
Anyone got any advice as to how to make this work for the kids?

Answer
Don't go crazy! The day will come when they are not little anymore, and you don't want major remodeling. In the bathroom, get a shower curtain with fish on it, or a beach scene. You could find a toilet seat with a similar theme. Also a little waste basket, even a clothes hamper to match. These would not cost a fortune, and would be easy to replace as people age. If you have a window, you could get some fish or ocean curtains too. Maybe even a few no slip stick ons of fish in the tub, that could eventually be removed. If you got everything, I think you would still be under $200. 00. Try a place like Bed, bath, and beyond. They have a lot of this stuff, plus they always have discount coupons floating around. You could paint the bedroom an aqua color. Again you could get some fish or beach sheets, and curtains. Again you are not talking about a fortune. Maybe you could find a nice poster or print for the wall. Good Luck!
