Those of you with a tendency towards cool colors may be skeptical and wondering what would make me say (read: scream) such a thing. I can answer that question in one word: catalogs. <br /><br />This morning I drug my sorry self into the kitchen as usual pinning my hopes for the day on a nice, hot cup of coffee with just a pinch of cinnamon. The java came through as planned and while I was sipping and savoring the aroma that had been missing in my morning since last fall, I thumbed through a few of my favorite catalogs that had been piling up as of late. <br /><br />As bleary as I was, I spotted the trend even before the caffiene had a chance to kick in. In each and every one of the catalogs I saw red bedding. There was red and black plaid bedding, striped bedding and perhaps my personal favorite was featured in the Pottery Barn catalog, <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/red-bedrooms.html">red bedding</a> that had pictures of cardinals on it, which are my favorite birds especially in winter. Their bright red feathers add color to an otherwise bleak landscape. <br /><br />Zebra bedding is still one of the most popular <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">girls bedding</a> sets but the zebra print and hot pink color combination that was so popular last spring and summer is dressed for the season at hand with scarlet red satin, silk or taffeta fabrics and red and black damask bedding collections have a glow all their own. Yes, dear reader, to say that red bedding is hot this fall may very well be an understatement. To be so obvious that I can spot it before my second cup of coffee, you really can't doubt that it's a trend.gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-90294966654399160742010-10-12T05:56:00.000-07:002010-10-21T01:37:45.444-07:00FANCY BEDROOMSIn the past 3 months I have not decorated any fancy bedrooms to speak of. To be clear, what I call "fancy" might be referred to as a luxury bedroom by those who prefer to maintain a level of sophistication in their vocabulary. I know the economy has taken a hit and custom made furniture and <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">girls bedding</a> are probably last on the list of people doing their best to make mortgage payments on those high end homes bought in the heat of the moment. <br /><br />But thinking of the past, I can remember working on some luxury bedroom designs that were not any more expensive than decorating a room with IKEA style decor (modern look and sleek contemporary finish). There was one project in particular where the homeowner used a solid walnut tester bed as the centerpiece for her teen girl's bedroom that was breathtakingly beautiful. I expected the young girl to reject the antique bed as looking "old fashioned" but I was pleasantly surprised when she was on board with the decision. <br /><br />It was not that she was such a fan of ornate furniture and <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/">fancy bedrooms</a> as she liked the sense of history and place that the bedroom furniture gave to her space. She said that she enjoyed being surrounded with pieces that had been in her family for generations. Her only request was that the comforter set, curtains and wall paint color were light and bright to offset the dark finish of the elaborately carved wood. <br /><br /><b><font size="+1">TRENDS</font></b><br><br />In my last few projects, not only were girls leaning toward platform beds and a minimal amount of bedroom furniture, the materials were not that important. A few years ago, if the bedroom set was not real wood, nobody wanted it. And now I find that buying solid wood is not important. Several of my clients ordered custom made furniture and called a master carpenter that built the furniture based on their specifications. Needless to say that we had to wait a long time for the furniture to arrive. <br /><br /><br />Lately things have really changed; nobody has either the money or the time to hire custom woodworkers. Either they use the furniture they already have in place or buy imported furniture with a contemporary look, bright colors and maintenance-free finishes. I suppose that the time it takes to maintain great-grandma's intricately carved wooden furniture is more than busy, professional people want to deal with since money to hire cleaning help is tight. <br /><br /><b><font size="+1">THE APPEAL OF IMPORTED PLATFORM BEDS and FURNITURE</font></b><br><br />I'm all for buying imported furniture for first apartments, dorm rooms and kids' bedrooms. The stuff is cheap and can be easily dismantled, packed in boxes and then re-assembled with little effort. Plus, the pieces require a minimum amount of floor space giving the illusion that the bedrooms are larger than they actually are. <br /><br />Ok, I get it that low maintenance furniture has its place. But I really miss decorating those fancy bedrooms with luxurious fabrics and decorations even if they were dust catchers.gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-75079002342980334602010-10-06T12:52:00.000-07:002010-10-21T01:37:45.447-07:00Are Microfiber Sheets ComfortableI got a phone call from a client asking me, "Are microfiber sheets comfortable?".<br />She wanted to know because she and her daughter were standing in the bed and bath store having a showdown over a bedding set. Mom was all for buying this <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">girls bedding</a> set but when she read the fabric content and saw the dreaded word "polyester" she was afraid that her daughter wouldn't like the feel of the sheets and that she would be out more money for a set of cotton sheets. <br /><br />You know I hate to be put on the spot like that because each person has their own preference and to be honest, most teen girls could care less if their sheets are made of polyester or the finest Egyptian cotton. In my experience, if they think the comforter and shams look cool they're fine. <br /><br />But for those who may want to know in the future are microfiber sheets comfortable or not...here's the skinny so you can make your own decisions and won't have to call me for my opinion.<br /><br /><b><font size="+1">THE PROS AND CONS OF MICROFIBER SHEETS</font></b><br><br /><br /><B>THE PROS</B><BR><br />The positive characteristics of microfiber sheets are that they:<ul type=disc><li> resist wrinkling<li>are lightweight<li>machine washable<li> are non-allergenic<li> stain-resistant<li>cheaper than fine cotton</ul>. <br /><br />Easy care is a good thing for college dorm bedding perhaps as important as being warm and comfortable in winter. Another mark in the positive column should be of interest to individuals suffering from allergies. It seems that since the microfibers are so small that common allergens like dust mites, pollen grains that cling to sheets made of natural fiber don't hang around and cause problems.<br /><br /><B>THE CONS</B><BR><br />The negatives range from having extreme static cling coming out of the dryer to having a dull look and feeling like plastic. Some consumer reviews say the best way to wash microfiber sheets is to wash them alone. Apparently there were problems when they washed their sheets with towels and other fuzzy, lint producing laundry.<br /><br />Getting back to the question, "<a href="http://interiordec.about.com/od/buyingbedsheets/bb/bedsheets.htm" rel="nofollow">Are Microfiber Sheets Comfortable</a>", my opinion is that allergy sufferers would answer with a resounding, YES and everyone else should open the package and wrap the sheet around your hand and arm for a moment or two and see if they like the way the fabric feels. If you think that the fabric doesn't breathe well or if it feels smother-y on your skin I would spend a few extra dollars and get cotton; it's not that expensive and you may be happier especially in warm summer months.gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-46990861124765412512010-10-02T11:43:00.000-07:002010-10-21T01:37:45.451-07:00PARISIAN BEDDING for GIRLS<img src="http://cdn.overstock.com/images/products/P11975312a.jpg" alt="Canvas Folding Photo kids Eiffel Tower Room Divider bedroom"><br /><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/3t121y1A719PRZXXVZQPRQWWUXQU?sid=1765405" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.overstock.com/';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;">$12 off orders over $300 at Overstock.com (electronics and media excluded)</a><img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/6f102wquiom79HFFDH8798EECF8C" width="1" height="1" border="0"/><br /><br />I keep going back to <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/girls-bedding.html">Eiffel Tower bedding</a> and bedroom decor in my search for Parisian bedding for girls over and over again. Why? Well, because if a more sophisticated style of decor exists for a teen girl's bedroom than a Parisian theme with a famous French landmark smack dab in the middle of it...well, I just haven't seen it.<br /><br />For pre-teens or tweens, a splash of French poodles, rhinestones in shades of pink is PERFECT. I love pink and black in a Paris theme bedroom because this color scheme is so feminine and is quite the fashion for today's diva girl. And we all know that fashion and style is what Paris, France is all about! <br /><br />So, grab a set of Eiffel tower bedding (or if you are having to work with what you have this photo room divider will take care of what your comforter set doesn't cover) your French poodle and beret and experiment with decorating your French themed bedroom with <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">Parisian bedding for girls</a>.gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-79779076706516902152010-09-29T12:59:00.000-07:002010-10-24T00:56:02.084-07:00ZEBRA GIFT IDEAS<img src="http://cdn.overstock.com/images/products/P11604448.jpg" alt="Pink and Black Zebra Front and Rear Car Floor Mats"><br /><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/t0122ft1zt0GIQOOMQHGIHNNLOHN?sid=1765405" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.overstock.com/';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" rel="nofollow">$10 off $250<BR> for New <BR>Customers! <BR>(media and electronics excluded)</a><img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/mg101g04tzxIKSQQOSJIKJPPNQJP" width="1" height="1" border="0"/><br />These pink and black zebra print floor mats are one of the cutest zebra gift ideas for a teen girl that I've found yet!

Maybe the economic crisis taught us a few things and status symbols in America have changed even thought all the teen girls that I know still want the cutest bedroom in town.<br /><br />You might think that this would include a decreased amount of home decorating but I have not seen that trend whatsoever. My date book is still filled, I'm still overwhelmed with the amount of work piled up on my desk and the number of inspiration boards that I need to deliver should be pulling me away from this keyboard as we speak. <br /><br />What I <B>do</B> see that has changed is that my clients are not afraid to ask for discounts on fabric or to tell me to shop the outlet malls, eBay auctions before jumping into pay full retail. Even the discontinued bedding sets (that I have always believed in but problems selling to style conscious teen girls) are now being considered where once they would have been categorized as "so last season". <br /><br />Another trend that I see emerging in teen <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/29/national/class/CONSUMPTION-FINAL.html" rel="nofollow">status symbols in America</a> is that knowledge and education are coming to be admired rather than dissed as boring. <br /><br />Observing their parents feeling a financial pinch has alerted young girls to the fact that knowing a thing or two might be a good thing AND (moms are going to love this one) they are savvy enough to see that those bad boys who skip school are NOT going to be equipped to provide for themselves or a family in the future. <br /><br />I realize that has nothing to do with shopping for cool teen <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">girls bedding sets</a>, but then again...maybe it does because as a decorator I can tell you that geek bedrooms are in, Baby!gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-1983593371042943392010-09-18T13:27:00.000-07:002010-10-24T00:56:02.129-07:00PINK ZEBRA BEDROOM DECOR<img src="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/images/pink-zebra-themes-21397590.jpg" alt="Retro Pink Zebra Print Bedding and Bedroom Decor" title="Retro Pink Zebra Print Bedding and Bedroom Decor"><br /><b><font size="+3"><a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/pink-zebra-themes.html" rel="nofollow">GO HERE TO SEE MORE!</A></font></b><br><br /><br />There's a girl who needs some help choosing <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/hot-pink-zebra-print-bedding.html">pink zebra bedroom decor</a>. Seriously, this teen girl has come up with more pink zebra bedding sets than I've seen in one place...ever! <br /><br />In fact, she found so many collections that she can't make a decision. She likes the shade of pink in one, the subtlety of the zebra print in another and in a third...well, I can't remember what it was she found appealing in that one. It may have been the tufted, hot pink velvet headboard. <br /><br /><br />Oddly enough, I think she's going for my least favorite; the <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/zebra-bedroom.html">zebra print bedding</a> set that had a very girly shade of pink because it is a full size bed in a bag set that comes with everything (except curtains, I didn't see anything mentioned about window treatments) and the other collections had fewer accessories. <br /><br />I suppose the lighter pink color would be more suited for a girl of her age, but I fell in love with the hot pink zebra bedroom decor...does that make me old because I like teen <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">girls bedding</a> in bold pink rather than pastel?gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-8088805604785839452010-09-18T07:57:00.000-07:002010-10-24T00:56:02.130-07:00DORM ROOM RUGSI haven't got a problem with guys using carpet remnants as dorm room rugs. Chances are the rug will be covered in dirty laundry and sweaty socks before mom and dad have left the college campus. Isn't that a lovely picture? <br /><br />But girls who care enough about the decor that they convinced mom to spend a bundle on an expensive set of <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">girls bedding</a> to make the college dorm room more homey tend to take better care of things and in my opinion deserve a better looking and color-coordinated area rug that works with your <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/dorm-room-decor.html">dorm room bedding</a> and room decorations. <br /><br />After the first rush of "meet and greets" is over and crisp, cool football weather replaces the sweltering heat of summertime, those cold tile floors make getting up and getting ready for class even less appealing. <br /><br />My advice is to go in search of a couple of cheap dorm room rugs that can easily be washed because even if you're careful the throw rug will probably be pretty dirty by the end of the first semester. <br /><br /><b><font size="+1">WHERE TO FIND CHEAP DORM ROOM RUGS</font></b><br><br />The best plan of action would be to buy several bedside rugs at the same time you buy your dorm bedding to get a good color match. If your bed in a bag comforter set didn't have matching accessories, buzz over to Big Lots and see if you can find an area rug from a discontinued collection that will work to get a huge discount on price. My next stop would be <a href="http://www.jcpenney.com/products/Cg13611.jsp" rel="nofollow">JCPenney</a> or (surprise, surprise) <a href="http://www.dormrugs.com/" rel="nofollow"> DORM ROOM RUGS.COM</A>!gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-65648243486250888562010-09-09T11:43:00.000-07:002010-10-24T00:56:02.132-07:00COCA COLA BEDDING<img src="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/images/coca-cola-decorating-ideas-21393279.jpg" alt="Coca Cola red and white sheets pillow cases bedding comforter set bed in a bag"><br /><b><font size="+3"><a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/coca-cola-decorating-ideas.html" rel="nofollow">GO HERE TO SEE MORE!</A></font></b><br><br /><br />Not only did I want to show you this girl's Coca Cola bedding set, but I wanted to tell you about the brainstorm of decorating ideas that I had when I read about how she decorated her dorm room in a Coca Cola theme. And yes, she also tells us why she chose this style of decor. <br /><br />She left home taking this comforter set with her to college and after she was there, she decided that she wanted a mini-fridge to keep her soft drinks cold. Well, it would seem that she hit the jackpot and found the perfect compact refrigerator to complement her decor. <br /><br />She started out complaining that she didn't want a boring black or white personal mini-fridge like the ones she found at her local discount store. She wanted something with more personality and a little more cool factor than just what was inside the appliance. As luck would have it she found the perfect little mini-refrigerator to go with her <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/coca-cola-decorating-ideas.html">Coca Cola bedding</a>! <br /><br />Can you join me here for a great big AHA moment? Why should other girls settle for boring appliances in their dorm rooms when they can cover them with contact paper, decals or even wallpaper? I'm always searching for new and interesting dorm room decorating ideas and I believe that I will be putting this one to work very soon!

Or at least I thought it was the colors of fall that were on my mind. After being blasted with wind in my face that felt like it was straight out of a blow dryer on HOT, it came to me that open spaces with a cool breeze might just be the ticket to paradise. <br /><br />After I left the mall, a decorator friend of mine had asked me to drop by to see (read: admire or rave about) a bedroom that she had just finished. When I drove up to the small ranch style home at the address she had given me My thoughts were, "How impressive could this be? The bedroom has got to be very small." I was right that the room was at best 12 feet square and the bedding was a solid color which was not exciting but she had a thing or two to show me about <a href="http://www.helium.com/knowledge/123080-how-to-make-a-small-bedroom-look-larger" rel="nofollow">how to make a bedroom look bigger</a>. <br /><br />She had covered an entire wall (at least above the top of the bed) with a fabulous photographic wall mural that made the wall seem as if it had opened up and that you could literally step into the grove of trees. And guess what! There were my fall colors and I could almost smell the crisp, clean air and feel the leaves under my feet. The teen <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">girls bedding set</a> was nothing outstanding and there were no unique <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/">bedroom decorating ideas</a> that jumped out at but in this room nothing more was necessary. <br /><br />If you want to know how to make a bedroom look bigger the quick and easy way, I highly recommend one of these wall murals because they certainly give the illusion of wide open spaces and effectively fool the eye.gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-65785397874209970452010-08-21T06:18:00.000-07:002010-10-24T00:56:02.137-07:00DECORATING THE BEDROOM-IDEAS for FALLToday I'm pondering decorating the bedroom.

Maybe I need to start turning the sound off on the weather channel so that I won't feel like my proverbial cheese may be sliding right off the cracker for feeling the urge to jump in and start bringing (read warm) fall colors into the decor. <br /><br />Just so you know that I haven’t gone totally whacko...yet even when I decorate with the cool colors that I usually bring out for summer to counteract our scorching temperatures, my house literally screams FALL with the colors we have throughout including the bedrooms and the bathrooms. <br /><br />Fall is my my favorite time of year to decorate and one of my favorite color combinations is PURPLE and ORANGE! I just love all of the warm colors even though <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/">decorating the bedroom</a> and looking at ideas for fall in late August just makes me feel well...hotter. <br /><br />What about you, are you looking for new <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">girl bedding sets</a> with a warmer look to them in fall colors or do you just keep the same comforter set in place until it becomes threadbare and you're sick to death of it?gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-63262618801194995892010-08-12T16:00:00.000-07:002010-10-24T00:56:02.139-07:00SHEER ZEBRA CURTAINS<img src="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/images/hot-pink-zebra-print-bedding-21381197.jpg" alt="Hot Pink Zebra Print Comforter Set Girls Funky Hot Pink, Lime Green and Black Bedroom Decor" title="Hot Pink Zebra Print Comforter Set Girls Funky Hot Pink, Lime Green and Black Bedroom Decor"><br /><br clear="all"><br /><b><font size="+3"><a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/hot-pink-zebra-print-bedding.html" rel="nofollow">GO HERE TO SEE MORE!</A></font></b><br><br />What do you guys think about these sheer zebra curtains? I love the hot pink zebra bedding set and the funky bookcase headboard of the bed...but those curtain panels just don't fit with the decor in the rest of the room. <br /><br />This is perhaps a perfect example of too much zebra print in a teen girl's bedroom. Maybe if they lost the scarf drape over the curtain rod and did something in white faux fur or made some cool tie backs rather than have them just hanging there like that then that would tie things together? I'm really not sure that would do the trick. Replacing the <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/hot-pink-zebra-print-bedding.html">sheer zebra curtains</a> with beaded curtains was mentioned and I kind of like that idea with this <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">teen girls bedding</a> set. What would you do? Would you keep the scarf or lose it and add accessories to bring the zebra print curtain panels more into line with the comforter set?gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-28667542000138209952010-08-08T13:19:00.000-07:002010-10-24T00:56:02.140-07:00COOL COLORS<img src="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/images/cool-colors.jpg" alt="bedding comforter set cool colors blue white teal green turquoise"><br /><br clear="all"><br /><b><font size="+3"><a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/roxy-bedding.html" rel="nofollow">GO HERE TO SEE MORE!</A></font></b><br><br />It’s hot as <B>HECK</B> and even though autumn is just a few weeks away, cool colors are STILL on my mind. For one thing, it doesn’t feel like fall to me and my patio thermometer backs me up telling me that my feeling that we’re still smack dab in the middle of summer is right on Target. And when I’m still wearing shorts and sweating like wild, I like to surround myself with cool colors, don’t you?<br /><br /><b><font size="+1">CHARACTERISTICS of COOL COLORS</font></b><br><br />Not only is it lovely that shades of blue, violet and green make me think of cool, refreshing ocean water, they are especially useful in decorating a small bedroom because they tend to recede or feel as if they are pulling away from you which make the room seem bigger! Not a bad thing when decorating a dorm room or a small bedroom in an apartment.<br /><br />It’s so hard to let go of airy colors like turquoise blue and teal green that bring lazy days at the beach to mind or colors that remind me of that visit to the farmers market where I got inspiration to decorate a master bedroom with colors that I pulled from the fruit and vegetables that I saw there. <br /><br />But even though summer feels as if it’s dragging on and on and on and the heat outside is unbearable I have to grind the gears and shift my decorating focus from breezy and colorful to fall colors. Looking back on the last few month’s inspiration boards it’s easy to see that the season inspired the purchase of more than a few beach bedding sets with fabrics in cool colors that reflect the soft and breezy atmosphere of a cottage at the shore resplendent with cool shades of blue balanced by neutral colors and plenty of texture. <br /><br />Looking at my notes detailing some teen <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/">girl bedroom decorating ideas</a> with pictures, the blue and yellow color scheme of the comforter she chose makes me think of sitting on the porch of a beach cottage, sipping a cold glass of lemonade and enjoying the breezes blowing in from the ocean. If you have any imagination at all you should see why I’m being dragged into decorating for fall kicking and screaming! <br /><br />Oh well, the first crisp breeze that blows my way will have me out shopping for <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">teen girls bedding</a> sets in earth tones and <a href="http://interiordec.about.com/cs/colorindecor/f/faq_cool_colors.htm" rel="nofollow">cool colors</a> will be on my back burner until next spring.gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-86436812055373613512010-08-05T12:42:00.000-07:002010-10-24T00:56:02.142-07:00GIRLS DORM BEDDING IDEAS<img src="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/images/dorm-bedding.jpg" alt="hot pink and lime green polka dot girls dorm girl dorm bedding set comforter dots"><br clear="all"><br /><b><font size="+3"><a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/dorm-room-bedding.html" rel="nofollow">GO HERE TO SEE MORE</A>!</font></b><br><br /><br />Ok, college kicks off in my area early next week and I'm still looking for girls dorm bedding ideas for two girls' rooms. YIKES! The good news is that they are not divas who are pitching ego-maniacal hissy fits. They just want their dorm rooms to look cool and are willing to wait for the perfect bedding set. <br /><br />Leave it to me to save the most challenging design project until the last minute. And in case you're wondering why I'm here typing away on my decorating blog rather than in the mall or online looking for comforter sets for these girls I want to tell you that I have a really good excuse. <br /><br />It's hot and I just don't feel like it right now. Yeah, that might sound lame to you but the heat index here is over 116 and it has left me exhausted. That being said, I saw a cute example of <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/dorm-room-decor.html" rel="nofollow">dorm room decor</a> for sorority girls that you might be interested in so take a look and let me know what you think while I'm cooling off and trying to come up with some <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">girls dorm bedding ideas</a> before time runs out on me.gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-91946090747497847972010-07-25T12:21:00.000-07:002010-10-24T00:56:02.144-07:00HOW TO CHOOSE COLLEGE DORM BEDDING<img src="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/images/blue-zebra-print-bedding-21373236.jpg" alt="Teal Blue Zebra Print Bedding ROXY REBEL Wild Animal Print"><br /><center><b><font size="+3"><a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/blue-zebra-print-bedding.html" rel="nofollow">GO HERE TO SEE MORE</a>!</font></b><br></center><br /><br />The summer has flown by with days at the beach a memory, how to choose college dorm bedding is what's on most teen girls' minds these days. With the exodus for college in full swing, for the next few weeks I’ll be up to my eye teeth in dorm room decorating projects.<br /><br /><br />Actually, after thinking about it just a minute I realize that I've been taking little else in the way of calls requesting decorating consultation since mid-summer and longer. You might be amazed to learn that some girls start bouncing around ideas for decorating dorm rooms right after they returned from spring break vacation. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised at their enthusiasm since this is a teen girl’s first bedroom in her life as an adult and having the perfect set of girls <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">college dorm bedding</a> is very, very important.<br /><br />As excited as the girls are about getting their rooms decorated, after spending several weeks shopping online and browsing in stores for looking for twin bedding, extra long (xl) twin sheet sets, pillows, and room accessories, I have a tip to share with you that will save you some time AND money thus the title of this post, How to choose college dorm bedding...get it? <br /><br />Before you rush out to buy your dorm bedding and stuff you should consult with your roommate to see what color and style her comforter set is. It would be a raging disaster if you bought bedding that clashes like crazy with hers. Find out what color your roommate's things are and do your very best to be accommodating if she has already jumped the gun and made her purchase. MAYBE, just maybe you will get lucky and learn that she was waiting to find out what color your bedding set might be and you will get to pick first!gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-91846195305868998102010-07-18T13:42:00.000-07:002010-10-24T00:56:02.147-07:00Black and White Animal Print BeddingA teen girl asked me this interesting question awhile ago, "How many kinds of black and white animal print bedding are there"? The subject came up when she said she would like an exotic black and white bedroom but did not want <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/zebra-bedroom.html">zebra print bedding</a>. <br /><br />It wasn't that she doesn't care for or has something against zebra stripes, she just said that too many of her friends had already bought zebra comforter sets and had decorated their rooms accordingly. She said that she wanted to do something more original and that's when I suggested one of the other animal prints. <br /><br />It never really occurred to me to sit down and make a list of all the animal print fabrics that are available in black and white. But since she asked and I probably need to write them down for future reference, here we go! <br /><br />There is giraffe print, cheetah print, leopard print and the aforementioned zebra print. OH and I suppose cow print would fall into this category, too. There may be more but if there are I have never had the pleasure of working with them. <br /><br />If I can't come up with a set of <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/black-and-white-bedroom.html">black and white animal print bedding</a> that will tickle this teen's fancy, I wonder how black and white peacock feather fabrics would do in a set of a <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">teen girls bedding</a>?

So, after finishing up on my client's kitchen decorating project (which went off without a hitch) I offered to give her teen girl's bedroom a mini-makeover when I noticed that she had a really cute set of beach themed bedding smack dab in the middle of a room with absolutely no personality or pizzazz. <br /><TABLE align="right" width="200"><TR><TD> <br /><img src="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/images/beach-ball-decor.jpg" alt="tropical beach themed theme lamp shade bedroom table"> </TD> </TR></table><br /><br />The teenage girl's mom was thrilled at my offer and started to produce some matching pillows and bedroom decor that were bought to go with the beach bedding set and were not being used...in fact they were stuffed inside the closet. <br /><br />My ideas are to buy more pillows, as one beach ball pillow does not make a pretty arrangement even on a twin size bed, and to find a cheap table lamp and replace the existing lamp shade with the one that matches the beach theme quilt. <br /><br />After she gets over the sticker shock of the more expensive kitchen decorating project, I'm going to suggest that she buy new carpet for her teen's beach themed bedroom (that mud brown color rug is just not doing it) AND a new headboard for the bed and by that time she might want to check into some of the new <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">beach bedding sets for girls</a> that are out by that time and just start from scratch.gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-54588678748766474892010-06-24T10:17:00.000-07:002010-10-24T00:56:02.152-07:00PINK AND GREEN PEACE SIGN BEDDING with a TWIST<img src="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/images/girls-lime-green-and-hot-pink-peace-sign-zebra-bedding-set-21216761.jpg" alt="Girls Lime Green and Hot Pink Peace Sign Zebra Bedding Set Decorating a Girls Bedroom"><br clear="all"><br /><br /><b><font size="+3" rel="nofollow">SEE MORE PICTURES HERE!</font></b><br><br clear="all"><br /><TABLE align="left" width="300"><TR><TD><img src="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/images/pink-peace-sign-610-2.jpg" alt="Girls Lime Green and Hot Pink Peace Sign Zebra Bedding Set Decorating a Girls Bedroom"></TD></TR></table><br />When I found this set, I was a loss of what to call it so I'm calling it the pink and green peace sign bedding with a twist! Because it just seemed to defy being pigeonholed into one single style of bedding. Sure, it qualifies to be classified as <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/peace-sign-bedrooms.html">pink peace sign bedding</a>, but it's also got lime green leopard print AND your standard zebra print fabric. <br /><br />Plus, there's the lime green pom-pom fringe on the comforter set's throw pillows and shams. As if all that wild animal and peace sign print fabric weren't enough to throw a tired decorator for a loop; the colorful toucan on the pillow took things in a distinctly tropical direction. <br /><br />To be sure, this custom <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">teen girls bedding set</a> is not for everybody. For one thing..is it just me or are (even) faux animal skins and peace signs an unusual combination? Oh well, I float through life on the surface and don't dig too deep into the meaning of things so this funky bedding set might just find its way into the teenage girls' tropical bedroom that I'm working on. What do you think about the <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/lime-green-bedding.html">PINK AND GREEN PEACE SIGN BEDDING with a TWIST</a>?

Take a good look at the pictures...do you see a red and pink comforter set? Well, at first glance I surely did only to take a second look and realize that the actual comforter and shams are white, pink and green. There may be a tiny touch of red in the center of the flowers that you can't see very well, but it may be hot pink. <br /><TABLE align="left" width="200"><TR><TD><br /><script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://www.tkqlhce.com/co115rD9z025C912FOTURVYWW?sid=1765405&target=_blank&mouseover=Y"></script> </TD></TR></table><br />The point is that the red upholstered headboard of the bed, the red dust ruffle and that funky looking wooly mirror that's hung over the head of the bed fooled me into thinking that I had found <B>THE</B> pink and red bedding set that would solve all my problems. <br /><br />I wonder if I can convince the young lady to accept this red and pink bedding set and more importantly, convince her mom to pay for a padded red headboard. <br />The girl's taste in bedroom colors ranges in the warm (ya think?) side of the color wheel thus the request for a hot pink and red room design.

Frankly, the only thing that hit me was that teens and tweens aren't usually that into floral prints...tropical or otherwise. <br /><br />Then I opened the second picture that she sent and saw the Hawaiian hula girl and thought, "Well, that's better!" only to read that the Hula girl was the bone of contention because some mean spirited friend made an off color remark about the girl having a thing for chicks because of the island theme bedspread! <br /><br />How wild and crazy is that? I, personally, adore vintage Hawaiian print fabric and hula girls and don't see a thing wrong with this bedding collection. But the lady is asking for opinions from teens (not decorators) as to whether or not it will scar her daughter's tender psyche if she tells her that she has to keep the comforter set in spite of how against it she has now become. <br /><br />What do you say?

I like the ones that come wired like Christmas tree or patio lights. They are so, so cool when used in the proper setting. I actually had this string of Ikea star lights stuffed in a box with plans to decorate the patio with them at sometime in the future or maybe find a place that needed a celestial touch during the holidays...and then...<br /><br />I found a picture of a boy's room on <a href="http://funkyjunkinteriors.blogspot.com/2009/12/young-boys-retreat-bedroom-reveal.html" rel="nofollow"> this website</a> that used THESE VERY LIGHTS as part of the wall decorations. <br /><br />I didn't care for the rest of the bedroom at all and the decorator's ideas certainly didn't fit with my red, white and blue patriotic bedding. But the way that the she put the star lights for the bedroom on display was nothing but pure decorating genius, my friend and I think they will look even more stunning as a pseudo-headboard with the Americana quilt. <br /><br />The wall in the bedroom in the picture is painted a dusky blue that reminds me of the evening sky just at twilight which is very peaceful and relaxing. But I'm thinking that if you used the star lights for a bedroom with a patriotic theme a navy blue wall would be just as attractive and more representative of the colors in the American flag.gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-25607495219280329402010-04-23T08:42:00.000-07:002010-10-24T00:56:02.161-07:00TEEN GIRLS HEART BEDDING<img src="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/images/lime-green-and-aqua-bedding-21200290.jpg" alt="Teen Girls Bright Lime Green and Aqua Bedding Set - Hearts and Polka Dot Comforter"><br /><b><font size="+3"><a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/lime-green-and-aqua-bedding.html" rel="nofollow">GO HERE TO SEE MORE!</a></font></b><br><br />What do you think about the bedroom in the picture with the teen girls heart bedding set? I saw a bedroom decorating question regarding this comforter set that got me thinking about how small decorative decisions can take a bedroom's design in one direction or another. <br /><br />The girl who wrote in said that she loved the polka dot and heart print fabric of the comforter set and the contrasting pattern of the striped bedskirt but didn't like the "dressed up" look of the picture of the bedroom on the bedding set's packaging and wanted to know how to decorate her room in a funky fashion using the girl's heart bedding. <br /><br />I think I would go for a shabby chic look using a chipped iron bed frame and I would ditch the matching curtains. Just because you buy a bed in a bag doesn't mean you have to use the window treatments. Sell them, toss them or whatever; if you don't like them don't destroy the look of your room just because you feel wasteful. Aluminum foil over the windows is better than buying drapery hardware and taking the time to hang curtains that you hate. <br /><br />Getting back to the teen <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/">girls bedroom design</a> problem, as I said, I would keep the <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">teen girls heart bedding</a> set and decorate the bedroom in a funky, shabby chic style. How do YOU decorate a bedroom when you are after a stylish look but don't want anything fancy?gen-xhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00799423233212640617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492450073284119200.post-29143093314379074142010-04-18T10:33:00.000-07:002010-10-24T00:56:02.163-07:00FUNKY PINK BEDDING<img src="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/images/lime-green-and-neon-orange-bedding-21198933.jpg" alt="Funky Lime Green and Hot Pink Girls Bedding"><br /><b><font size="+3"><br /><a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/lime-green-and-neon-orange-bedding.html" rel="nofollow">GO HERE TO SEE MORE!</A></font></b><br><br />A mom I'm working with says she wants her teen girl's bedding to be pink while FUNKY PINK BEDDING is more in line with what's on her daughter's radar. I have a knack for getting in the middle of the battle of wills between teenage girls and their mothers, don't I? <br /><TABLE align="left" width="300"><TR><TD><br /><img src="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/images/teen-girl-room-4-17.jpg" alt="lime green hot pink sheer curtains bedroom window treatments drapes pattern ideas"><br /></TD></TR></table><br />The problem is that moms want to hang onto their baby girls as long as possible which means they want to keep the pastel pink bedroom in tact long after the toddler stage. When tweens and preteen girls are ready to jazz things up a bit the bedroom makeover can get ugly. <br /><br />My job is to reach a compromise if at all possible and my advice to parents is to let the girls have their funky pink bedding! There are so many bigger (and more important) issues that so long as the lime green and <a href="http://www.bedroom-decorating-ideas-and-designs.com/pink-bedroom-ideas.html">funky pink bedding</a> is tasteful why sweat the small stuff? <br /><br />How do you like these lime green and pink curtains with the lime green and hot pink bedding in the pictures? I tried all pink as well as all lime green window treatments but I believe the combination of the two colors actually works better with the <a href="http://www.teenbedding.blogspot.com/">teen girls bedding</a>.
