So... I'm 16 and wanted a older, prettier, kind of hang out place in my bedroom. My bedroom used to be a light blue with horse wallpaper border on the top of the walls. We took off the wallpaper (which is great!) and repainted the walls. Three of the walls are creme and one wall is dark purple. I HATE it! It's awful... the creme looks like yellow and I don't like the purple. Originally, I was going for a vintage look, then bohemian, and now it just looks ugly. I got a comforter from Bed, Bath, and Beyond yesterday that I thought I liked, but it looks too much like a little kid comforter. I don't know what to do! My parents payed a bunch of money on the paint, so I can't repaint. Please, please, please help me! I would love to keep the vintage theme I liked at first. How can I do that? Pictures would be great!
Answer
Hey, what's wrong with creme and purple? Is it really purple or a kind of plum color. Sounds good to me. ANyway, if you don't like it, try pretty sheets or Eastern INdian style tablecloths to hang on the wall. You can do all kinds of things with fabrics. Some people like tapestries for the wall; but, sometimes these can be expensive to purchase and labor intensive to make. Try some huge pieces of fabric--go wild with it, doesn't hurt anything and you can always take it down for a change.
Drape the fabric, bunch it up, tie it with ribbons, do all kinds of stuff.
Put a picture collage on that wall. Got some old calendars, cut out the pictures and use in the collage--put up some old timey actors and singers--Humphrey Bogart, Dracula, stuff like that.
Is that comforter convertable--turn it on the other side. Sew some lace (or other fabric) around the edges of that comforter--personalize it! Get some pillows in some wild color and decorate that bed. You might find that you like that comforter after all. Where's your imagination?

I dont know what to do.... Can anyone whos creative help?
Q. Ok, well i am usually really creative and i love to draw. I really want to draw but i don't know what to draw. I want it to be something fun like not a fruit basket or something. i like interesting things. I like drawing dragons and people, but i want somthing different. I also draw unicorns. Thanks!
Answer
Well, since you like drawing unicorns, you could change the pace by going more realistic and drawing horses grazing in a field...or you could stick with fantasy by drawing pegasus (winged horse). Or maybe even a fantasy type theme with a combination of things like fairies and elves...or a knight on a horse or pegasus fighting a dragon.
Your best bet might be to go for things you enjoy...look at books with the types of pictures you like. Or, since you like drawing people, you could go to the park and sketch kids playing or parents chatting (if it's not too cold), or a coffee shop and just sketch what you see...
There are a lot of ways you could get inspiration, including maybe even watching TV shows with a lot of vivid color, beautiful ocean or mountain scenes (sorry...watching one right now on PBS lol), flipping through books, or even sketching what you see looking out your bedroom window.
Good luck!
