Repainting bedroom?

casual_ros

i am a teenage girl going to repaint her bedroom.
i am thinking of a two-toned look: a dusty rose and a tan color.
possibly going with two walls rose and the rest tan.
opinions?

Answer
Beige would look best for all the wall. Decorate your bed in rose/chocolate/white. Lots of pillows in rose/pink/chocolate/beige/white in different shapes to give depth of the bedding. Hang Chocolate curtains with glitter light pink sheers in the back

Associated with: love
Best for: bedrooms as it can be peaceful and restful. A hot fuchsia can introduce passion http://www.bbc.co.uk/homes/design/colour_psychologyofcolour.shtml#brown___
Pitfalls: can be appear to be very girlie and sickly sweet. To counteract this, introduce hints of dark charcoal or black.

Few additional ideas here:

The setting and its significance in the The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas?

Silver bul

I know it starts in berlin, moves to Auschwitz, but I dont really know what to write for the significance.

Answer
The book is about a young boy named Bruno who because of his father's job if forced to move from Berlin to the countryside. From his bedroom window, Bruno spots a fence behind which he sees ma in 'striped pyjamas'. These are Jews, and they are in a Nazi concentration camp. One day his parents come to an agreement that both Bruno and Gretel need a tutor for their education, so they hire Herr Liszt. To Bruno, Herr Liszt is the most boring teacher one could ever have; he teaches social science instead of reading and arts, which Bruno prefers. So, in boredom and confusion, Bruno wonders what is going on at "Out-With" (Auschwitz) and why people are always dressed in striped pyjamas there. One afternoon, he goes exploring, and meets a Jewish boy called Shmuel, a name Bruno has never before heard but that apparently is quite common in the concentration camp. Shmuel soon becomes Bruno's friend and Bruno visits every afternoon to talk. Bruno is told that the people in the striped pyjamas on the other side of the fence are Jews and that he and his family are "the opposite".
The story ends with Bruno about to return to the family's old home in Berlin. As a final adventure, he agrees to dress in a set of striped pyjamas and climb under a loose wire in the fence to help Shmuel find his father, who went missing in the camp. The boys are unable to find him, and just as it starts to rain and get dark, Bruno decides he would like to go home, yet the Nazis in the area of the camp force the boys to go on a march. Neither boy knows where this march will lead. However, they are soon crowded into a gas chamber, and the author leaves the story with Bruno pondering, yet unafraid, in the dark holding hands with Shmuel. "...Despite the chaos that followed, Bruno found that he was still holding Shmuel's hand in his own and nothing in the world would have persuaded him to let go".
In an epilogue, Bruno's father subsequently discovers Bruno's clothes by the fence and figures out what happened to him. Several months later, Allied (although not stated, presumably Russian as the Red Army liberated Auschwitz) soldiers come and order the Nazi soldiers to come with them, and Bruno's father goes without complaint, because "he didn't really mind what they did to him anymore".

Paris Themed Room Help.?

RainbowSpr

So, over the course of the summer I would like to turn my "Little kiddie" room into a Paris themed room, but im having trouble finding a Hot Pink- Black- and white comforter, a full length,over the door black mirror and a hot pink desk chair. Any help is appreciated, thanks(:

Answer
Wow, well it sounds like a great project! A key word that you should search for online is 'baroque', baroque furniture is beautiful and ornate, and is exactly what parisian style is.

Here are links for the comforter:

http://www.nextag.com/black-pink-and-white-bedding/shop-html
http://www.pbteen.com/products/suite-organic-duvet-cover-and-sham/?pkey=cgirls-bedding-all
for the french-style pattern that you are probably looking for, you should search for 'damask'

Full length mirror: I think that it is very hard to find nice over-the-door mirrors in that style, but if you have to have one then there are plain black ones like this:

Or if your could have a mirror on a wall then there are some beautiful ornate ones like this:
http://www.frenchbedroomcompany.co.uk/products/mirrors_and_screens/full_length_mirrors/631.html

Desk chair:
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S59884560#/S49884532/

I would suggest you get a dressing table and a french style mirror like this but maybe in black: http://www.frenchbedroomcompany.co.uk/products/tables/dressing_tables/062.html
http: //direct.tesco.com/q/R.209-3352.aspx?utm_source=GoogleShopping&utm_medium=GSF_NormalFeed&utm_campaign=GSF_TescoDirect&utm_content=209-3352

You could have letters on the wall saying something in French, maybe 'Bonjour' (hello), 'Je Taime' (i like/love you) or 'Je T'adore'( i love/adore you). This would be decorative, as well as adding to the Paris theme.
