Answer
here are some ideas i suggested before:
Hollywood:
You could have it be where people dress like movie stars or have it red carpet semi formal where the birthday girl steals the show in a red gown with gloves. They have really super cheap decorations at party cheap for this and you can get cheap hollywood scene setter background large plastic murals at fun4parties.com. Black, gold, Silver latex balloons and they also sell hollywood mylar balloon at partycheap. They sell a red carpet there. Check the length what you need.. We used it and it was fine, goes down with tape included (leaves a sticky tape mark, need a light adhesive remover to remove the sticky tape mark). Have the party at a time where you dont have to serve dinner just appetizers and if renting somewhere, sundays are cheapest. We just had our hollywood party and veggie tray did not go over well. Fruit tray went over really well. Taco dip and chips went over very, very well and had to be restocked twice. Also silver dollar sandwiches or rolls were perfect, hand sized. I saw the buns at the store and you can easily make these. For favors we bought the gold and black mardi gras beads at oriental trading, and also from there directors clapboard keychains, and star trophy that we personalized. We also bought a sweet 16 plastic candy mold and pink melting chips and made lollipops, just melt the chips, spoon into mold and freeze for 5 minuttes. The lollipop bags are 2.00 for 100 and come clear with ties. You use them for the favors andethe suckers. We made our own hollywood favor tags using the microsoft works business card maker section. use white cardstock that is very cheap for a few sheets at the craft store. Insert a movie clipart or save a hollywood image from google image to your picture folder and then insert. Buy marilyn monroe, humphrey bogart, audrey hepburn etc. posters. And next to the picture right Sarah's sweet 16 or whatever. We bought a marilyn stand up poster and paris hilton (someone the teens relate to) and that went over great for taking pictures, 23 bucks each at ebay new, and combined shipping if you buy more than 1. We bought black plastic tablecloths at the dollar store and gold overlays at efavormart that were so cheap. gotta have a DJ. Make sure to tell him/her to have a microphone. Shop around, you can find a cheap one, get a contract. You could buy black and foil gold different size stars to hang from the ceiling. The centerpieces on party cheap or even oriental trading are cute. Also on the table have balloon arrangements with a star balloon weight on partycheap, black, gold siliver and 1 mylar hollywood balloon. we bought black and gold napkins and plates at the dollar store.
We bought a photo op Hollywood arch called hooray for hollywood from shindigz. It really maded the party decorations.
Make sure to get a personalized hollywood banner at shindigz or wherever.
Movie party theme for hall or at home. Have a movie themed party. They sell decorations for this at oriental trading. com and you can also find some movie stuff on the hollywood sites I mentioned above. If at home watch a cool movie, have popcorn and all kids of candy and junk food. Make or buy pizza and have sundaes. Have a sleep over with the girls if you want. Have a dance in a hall with this theme. Have everhyone wear a movie star costume.
Luau, beach Hawaii: Orientaltrading has the coolest decorations and favors for this theme and the cutest tropical invitation in the bottle. Give your guests leis as they come in. Play Limbo, Hula hoop, and have a few grass skirts and everyone (including the guys) have to give hulaing a try. Again if you have room to do this at home or you can rent a small room. Tropical pinata. Twister. Hawaii site including games: www.alohafriendsluau.com. Cool invite: Flower lei and attach a printed invitation card.
Candy theme: Pink tablecloths, pink and white balloons. Make candy bouquets for the tables with short wide mouth vase from the dollar store. Fill 1/3 with peppermint disks. Buy colorful lollipops and put in the vase. Make another one t he same but use candy sticks instead like cherry, lime, etc. You can attach bows to each one with a favor card that says your initial, 13 or thanks for coming to my party and then after the party give them out as favors. Get personalized M and Ms to put in small favor bags. Get personalized hershey bar wrappers and little personalized stickers that go on the bottom of hershey's kisses or even hard candy. You can make these yourself with sticker dots easily. Buy plate size styrofoam 3 inch thick rounds and wrap in clear cellophane for a big hard candy decorations. you could put a wood dowel in one to make it a sucker. Play twister. For favors those candy necklaces, bracelets ands ring pops and candy lipsticks. They sell inflatable lollipops at Windy City Novelities. Buy a birthday plastic sucker mold We bought 3 bags of colored chocolate at the craft store and 1.50 each and ma

Wall decor for living room...?
rtutbatt
I have a rather large blank wall in my living room that I am needing to fill. It has no windows, no tv, only a small tree and table with lamp. I wasn't wanting a run of the mill picture or mirror that can be bought at any store, instead i was wanting something unique (other than personal photos) i need to take up quite a bit of room here...any ideas?
Answer
I'm a big fan of etsy, where you buy from independent artists.
Not knowing your colors or themes, it is hard to make a suggestion. But remember to either go very big or get a grouping of similar objects. Prints and other artwork generally look better if they are framed with a white matte, unless they are ready to hang canvases.
A few ideas:
Nice for an earth toned room: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25474219
Nice for a room that already has some lime green: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25895805
A grouping of prints from this artist would look nice in a traditional room: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5799581
Good for a more rustic room: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5564092&&ga_search_query=mirror+ribbon&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=&order=date_desc&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title
Great for a family with kids : http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=16039878
(the artist is on vacation until August, but you can look through her sold items. I know she will also make 11x14 versions, which would do a better job of filling up that wall)
Another thing I like is vintage travel posters. I really prefer ones from places you've already visited so they have personal meaning. All posters will also custom frame it for you.
