Ideas for a toddler's bedroom?

HOLLISTER

My 3 and 6 year olds share a bedroom, and i earned a little bit of money so I decided to redo their rooms. does anyone have any ideas on what toys to buy? or furniture? Thanks
They are both boys and love boats

Answer
Are they boys? Girls? What are their interests?

I would paint one wall with 2 sail boats and some waves....let them paint some fish...or put up those sticky picutes of fish in the water.

Even if you are not artisitic you could draw a sail boat. Draw it in pensil first then fill it in with colorful paint.

Find some simple or solid comforters, sew some pillows with boat print for decoration and maybe have them color some pictures of a boat and frame them on the walls for decoration as well

Here's an example of an easy sailboat you should be able to draw....

Nursery/Room Decor for boy & girl...?

Q. I'm getting more and more excited as my pregnancy continues. I know I'm only 8-9 weeks, but I'm going to have so much to do before the new baby gets here.

My husband, daughter, and I live in a two bedroom house. My husband and I have a room, and my daughter is in the other. Right now her room is a cream color on top and a honey color wood from mid wall to floor. Her room is decorated in a pink, purple, and green ladybug and flowers theme. All of her furniture is honey colored wood.

She and the new baby will have to share this room. I will eventually be moving her to a toddler bed and have the crib for the new baby. (I plan to put the new baby in a bassinet in my room to begin with).

If this baby is a girl, then I will have no problems in decorating. Just more pink will be fine. But what if its a boy? Any ideas on decor for a shared room for a boy and girl.

I was thinking maybe a farm theme? Maybe give her cow print bedding or something with a little pink, and can use the farm for a boy?

Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Building on is not an option right now, but may be later...

Answer
The farm thing sounds cute - anything animal related, forest, rain forest, frogs etc . . . is good for a co-ed room.

I have boy/girl twins in the same room. We have Winnie-the-Pooh - my daughter's stuff is classic Pooh and my son has the Disney Pooh. The walls are a bluish-purple and they have medium-brown wood furniture.

Congrats!

Re-doing my room? 70's theme?

kami kay.

I want to re do my room, and I don't really know what I want it to look like. I think I want a 70's theme. Kinda like 'That 70's Show.' How could I have a 'That 70's Show' themed room? Maybe I could put a bright, 70's couch/futon in it. If you think there are any better ideas, tell me. Links to websites would be nice. If it helps, I am a 13 year old girl who loves to read, write, listen to music, and watch TV. Thank you!

Answer
Some stuff that was big that I remember were lava lamps (they only came in orange then), beaded curtains (but they are a hazard to toddlers who can get the beaded strands wrapped around their throat, so don't consider them if you have a younger sibling), plants hanging in homemade macrame plant hangers that had wooden beads incorporated into them, black velvet posters with fluorescent pictures on them that you lit up with a black light (which are much cheaper now since they are compact fluorescents now) , big simple daisies, owls, and there were LOTS of primary colors (not pastels), and most of the hues were warm colors - yellow, orange, red, and warm green. Warm colors can really cheer you up, too. Oh, everyone painted the wood trim white then. Lattice was big. Mood rings. Smiley faces. How about making yourself a big yellow smiley face pillow for the bed?

A new coat of paint, some daisy appliques (or paint them on yourself, be creative), a new bedspread (I don't think we had comforters and dust ruffles then), and some cheery curtains, and that should cost mom and dad $100, more or less, for a HUGE change. You can make the curtains yourself - those are easy, and it's a good project for a 13 year old, if there is an experienced person that can help you.

Anyway, there are some ideas.

PS JC Penney has a very good selection of bedroom decor, overall, and at good prices, and most is decent quality.

Daniel's answer reminded me of how long it has taken for me to like mustard yellow again - it was called Harvest Gold then, and I forget what the olive green was called. I remember there was this heavy spanish woodwork everywhere too, and I hate it to this day - too dark!! And a lot of the ashtrays were these funky clay ones with wild glazes on them. A LOT of pottery had wild glazes on them. You can probably still find some of this stuff at a Salvation Army store. I still like the stuff, but it is pretty tacky, really. Of course, when I took a ceramics class as a girl younger than you, every single thing I made was made with those wild glazes.

Toddler bedroom decor...?

Nanabanana

My daughter just moved to a "big girl" bed and so I went out and bought her a new bedspread and all white furniture. The comforter is bright pink, lime green, purple, orange and teal. I am trying to decide what color to paint the walls. I was thinking of doing a lighter green (like lime but lighter) and then doing a bright pink stripe around the room, or else painting the room a light teal with a purple stripe...does that sounds too "grown up" for a 2 year old? I want it to be a room she can grow into but I don't want the colors/design to be too much for her. What do you think? Any other cute decorating ideas? I hate just one color walls so I'm trying to use two colors to decorate...Thanks!

Answer
I think a soft lime green with a medium pink strip would be adorable! I don't think it would be too grown-up. It should serve her well into preteens, at least! Another idea for longevity in a kid's bedroom: paint the walls a solid color and then decorate them with the peel and stick "Wallies" or other precut images that can be adhered to the wall temporarily. You could put some flowers or butterflies on the wall now, and then when she gets older and wants something different, you could put polka dots or something geometric like that. Good luck!
