COOL TEEN GIRL BEDROOM WALL DECORATIONS 2007-10-03 12:54:00 Wall Candy Arts Wall Decor - ChalkBoard Circles Big PinkWho says blackboards have to be black? Or that you shouldn't write on the walls? Chalkboards CAN be black, but they can also be hot pink, teal blue and you can use them to carry your polka dot bedroom theme all over the walls if you want! And no you should not write on the painted walls of that pretty bedroom that has been decorated so nicely for you, BUT if you have these cool round wall decorations you can write notes to yourself or your friends can leave you a message without messing with the paint job in your room. Get them in colors that work with your funky polka dot bedding set and paint some polka dots in other sizes so that things won't be boring. The way they have used these decorative chalkboard circles and squares in the pictures are in the kitchen on the refrigerator, but why can't we use them in a much more fun and unique application? Scatter the message boards all over the room and write or draw your friends
ZEBRA PRINT BEDDING - WILD ANIMAL PRINT TEEN DECORATING IDEAS 2007-10-01 12:17:00 I have received several e-mails with questions regarding the teen girl's zebra dorm room daybed, full size, queen size and king size zebra print bedding collections that were featured on this decorating blog late last week. As I'm sure that you have observed, many times I will feature stock photographs from bedding catalogs and online sites and use these images as examples of various styles of teenage bedrooms. In this particular instance, I had used some examples of bedrooms that used black and white zebra stripes with little else in the way of fabric print and design. The questions that I have received have asked for teen girl decorating ideas and instructions for other patterns that could be incorporated into the room so that the zebra print isn't quite so bold and attention grabbing. Adults bedrooms where the beds are decorated with zebra print often lean towards solid colors and greenery to offset the wild animal print. Grownups are looking for a soft place to land at the
TEEN BEDROOM MAKEOVER FOR LESS THAN $100 2007-09-26 13:21:00 You just decorated the dorm and once you got home, your teen's home based bedroom looked pretty dated in comparison. We know you blew the budget on stuff to decorate her home away from home. But, would it be possible to give your daughter's room at home a complete makeover and a fresh new look for less than $100? Actually by shopping at secondhand stores and making use of eBay, garage sales and what you have stuffed in the closets and under your bed, you may be able to redecorate for less than that! With several days work, working about an hour at a time, you can have your teen bedroom makeover done in less than a week and at a budget price. Won't she be surprised when she comes home for break? Here are some ideas on how to get started.CHEAP TEEN BEDDING and ACCESSORIESBedding might be the most expensive decorative stumbling block that you encounter on your way to an extreme budget minded teen or tween bedroom makeover.There are several ways that you can clear this hurdle and st
PINK AND BLACK BEDDING for TEENS 2007-09-25 16:59:00 So far as pink and black bedding for girls that be perfect for teens and tweens, you have several fabric prints to choose from. Not many, but a few. Pink and black bedding in a polka dot print and I recently saw some that was black with big hot pink lips planted all over the comforter or duvet cover that struck me as pretty cool. Kind of Andy Warhol (if teens care to take a look at his art they will see what I mean)So tell me, are your teens sick of polka dots or are they putting a set of pink and black polka dots on their Christmas list? Please let me know!
ZEBRA PRINT DAY BED COMFORTER SETS 2007-09-25 16:20:00 Whether you're decorating a dorm room or simply trying to save some space at home day beds are very popular. There brings the need for special day bed comforter sets that will appeal to teens, tweens and pre-teens as that is the age group that would rather sleep on a tiny bed and save the floor space for lounging with their friends. Here are a few popular daybed comforter sets for your teen girl's bedroom that I think you can successfully use for that fall decorating makeover that you've been procrastinating over!Zebra print in stark black and white is one really bold way to decorate and oddly enough one of the least expensive day bed comforter sets that I looked at today. Zebra is funky, flashy and fun while totally attention grabbing! If that's not enough zebra striped stuff, here's some more until you're up to your ears in zebra stuff! This small lamp with a zebra lampshade might get you up to the level of safari decor that you want. You can use it with black and white be
NAUTICAL LIGHTHOUSE BEDDING and DECOR for TEENS 2007-09-25 16:08:00 All the lighthouses in this set would be capable of lighting up the entirety of Cape Cod! No need to use more than one or two lighthouse decorations in any yachting or sailor girl's bedroom. Play off the blues, grays with shots of bright red in solid colors or maybe a fabric printed with tiny anchors, flags or other nautical prints that visually blend at a distance would be best. Throw in some polished brass lanterns, table lamps and maybe a life buoy and your lighthouse bedding will settle in for smooth sailing.The lighthouse theme area rug might be ok so long as you could put it somewhere on the floor where it didn't fight for attention with the lighthouse medallion on the comforter. Maybe a bathroom would be a good place for it?
TEEN GIRLS PREFER SLEEK over COMPLICATED 2007-09-22 16:40:00 Contemporary beds and bedding are ever so popular with teen girls. Once upon a time the spare, futuristic designs were once looked at as rather cold and unwelcoming. That day has flown past and curlicues are now replaced with smooth, flat surfaces. In the modern teen's bedroom this furniture style is getting the credit that it deserves which is that it is very easy to keep clean as well as cool to look at. Not many teenage girls want old fashioned, antique beds in their rooms right now. Stay tuned, the trend can always do a complete turnaround, but I don't see it happening so long as geometric and funky abstract prints are piled mile high on the store's shelves. Does the slick design element of these modern beds correspond to an inexpensive price? Oh no, my dear. Exotic hardwoods and sturdy construction bumps up the price tag on some into what most would consider the high end furniture range. Contemporary beds have an identical footprint in the bedroom as any other beds, but
DRAMATIC ANIMAL PRINT WINDOW TREATMENTS 2007-09-22 16:30:00 These animal print window treatments are just teeming with wild jungle animal appeal for teens! Animal Instinct Banner Valance- Natural, 12.5x22Whether you have decorated in leopard, cheetah or zebra print bedding in your teen girl's jungle safari bedroom this dramatic valance should knock the socks off of your girl! There are combined panels of three different wild animal prints! The tab tops valances start out in zebra print fabrics with additional strips of cheetah print fabric that has been edged with leopard print fabric! Elegant tassels have been attached at the points of the valance for a sophisticated finish. The antiqued gold lion's head finials might be a little over the top if your teen's room is small, but you can dress this versatile window treatment up or down with less flashy drapery rods and finials if you desire. You could add zebra bedding or other styles of jungle theme bedding sets with any of the other prints and a zebra rug to tie it all together.
My Decorating Project Gone Down the Tubes 2007-09-19 20:58:00 If anybody's wondering why I haven't posted any new teen decorating stuff in the past week, it's because first and foremost my mom has been sick and needed my help. But if she had to be sick, it couldn't have come at a better time. I needed a break. You can tell when you need some time off when you jump into a project and NOTHING goes as planned. I was hanging a fabulously beautiful pair of multi-colored silk drapery panels on some hammered iron rods and rammed a hole in the girl's wall. Yep, poked a hole big as a fifty cent piece right through the drywall and was that child ever miffed! She calmed down once I offered to pay for the damage, but not a lot. To change the subject I told her we could spend the day together on Saturday shopping at one of my favorite wholesale warehouses and gather some decorating ideas for the rest of the bedroom. Whew. I don't want to lose a friend over a piddly hole in the wall! We are going to look for some fabric to upholster a headboard Read more:Decorating

CHEETAH PRINT BEDDING SETS for the WILD CHILD 2007-09-12 15:48:00 Simply Wild Full Set, 78" x 86"If plain brown, cream and tan cheetah print is hot this fall, pink cheetah print is SO HOT IT'S BURNING UP! Teen and tween girls are on fire for funky bedding with modern pink prints like pink camo bedding and now here's the latest trend in wild animal print fabrics: PINK CHEETAH! This set comes in all sizes from twin to full and has lots of decorative accessories, some I love and some I'd change. The purple or pink round flokati faux fur trimmed pillows and rugs can hang, and I love the gauzy pink canopy over the upholstered headboard. I think that I would mount two antique gold cheetah (or lions or tigers) heads on each side of the headboard to use as tiebacks for the canopy panels. I would drape the fabric over the sides and let the animals faces peek out from under rather than to use the headboard of the bed for this purpose. The dramatic effect of the canopy is lost somehow as is the pretty padded headboard. I think that the bedroom in the
COOL DECORATING TECHNIQUE for the BEDROOM WALLS and MORE! 2007-09-11 10:13:00 Here's a cool and colorful teen bedroom decorating tip that dawned on me when I saw a big pile of neon colored flip-flops on the end of season closeout sale table at the local discount store. I was cruising down the aisle looking for some accessories for a lime green and orange bedding set and I had my radar set as such. When what do my wondering eyes appear but hot pink, orange, purple and lime green flip-flops for sale at deep discount prices.When I say deep discount sale prices I mean DEEP discounts. My mind began to race and come up with cool teen bedroom decorating ideas for these cheap shoes in all the right colors.What I came up with was some ideas to use big brightly colored flip-flops as wall decorations and I plan to try to use them to decorate a plain white ceiling fan. When I laid out the flip-flops I thought that they would lend themselves beautifully to a 60s theme bedroom. I can imagine them glued to the wall in a swirling vortex arrangement over the head of the be Read more:TECHNIQUE
ELEGANT BAROQUE BLUE and BROWN BEDDING 2007-09-07 10:29:00 I couldn't resist including this set of robin's egg blue and brown bedding for the teen girl that inherited her mom's impeccable taste. Certainly it's more expensive than your run of the mill bed in a bag. But as I haven't found anything to compare to the rich chocolate brown and blue in the cheap lines this slightly retro color combination is worth the few extra dollars. Why wait and take a chance on decorating your teen girl's bedroom with a less luxurious comforter and bedskirt set just because it's cheap? I must confess that I'm not that crazy about the bedskirt they have shown in the pictures. Somehow it doesn't fit into my idea of the best colors to match the comforter and accent pillows. It seems to be an off white fabric with a band of brown at the hem. I believe that I would have opted for a solid color bed skirt with a crisp tailored box pleat over this plain piece with no decorative details. I suppose you could figure out a way to embellish it with some cord
GIRL'S DORM BEDDING SHOPPING TIPS and IDEAS 2007-09-07 09:56:00 Are you in a rush for time to get your teenage girl’s dorm room ready? Here’s a quick and easy way to decorate your teen’s home away from home. Dorm bedding in a box is the co-ed equivalent to the familiar bed in a bag that we’ve grown so accustomed to for use in traditional bedrooms in homes and apartments. Decorating a teen’s bedroom in your own home can be difficult enough, but decorating the dorm is so more public. Your baby girl is now past the tweens and teens. She now has a distinctive personality and has her own decorating ideas and pictures in her mind of what her bedroom décor should be. It’s likely that funky, wild, geometric prints in purple, green and blue have replaced the horse theme bedding or the pretty pink pretty pink Betty Boop bedding set that she had enjoyed in her early teens. Don’t make the mistake of heading out to the store or beginning to shop online without your daughter by your side. Let her begin her first venture into the adult
SHOE THEME BEDROOM for SOPHISTICATED TEENS ABOUT TOWN 2007-09-02 19:24:00 I'm always on the lookout for unique room designs and decor for the more sophisticated older teen girl. The teenage or college age girl that this page will have decorating ideas for may have outgrown pastel pink flipflips and beach room themes, but still has a thing for shoes as all ladies do! For this girl, take a look at the fabulous color scheme of the high heel shoe decoration we give instructions on how to make yourself on this page. We are going to use the pictures at the top of this page as an example and if you want to buy the decorative miniature shoe rather than make a full size shoe theme decoration yourself, go right ahead! Paint a red and white polka dot and purple stripe pattern on a large hatbox to be a platform for our jewel encrusted high heeled shoe to place on topSpray paint a sexy shoe in bright red (or use any funky color combination that you think your teen wants: pink, black and white polka dots will work just as nicely)Paste fluffy maribou feathers pasted o
MONKEY BEDDING for TWEENS and TEENS 2007-09-02 18:21:00 Who says that monkey themed bedding for tweens and teen girls has to be boring and come in shades of brown and beige? Haven't you ever seen purple and green monkeys before? Maybe pink, purple, blue and green monkeys don't exist in the jungle, but nature doesn't have to have the final layout on bedrooms for preteens. Pre-teens or any young girls that want color and want a monkey theme can find bedding fabrics with whimsical prints with wild colors that will make them go ape! Fabrics printed with monkeys swinging through the jungle on vines snacking on bananas are lots of fun to use to decorate a bedroom for children. Whether you choose a bedroom design with a neutral background of beige or even painted green leaves reminiscent of the rainforest there's no rule in the decorating guide that says your monkeys must be in shades of dark brown and beige! I like a teen jungle bedroom theme with lots of colorful parrots, flowers and even some exotic snakes winding up the tree trunks so
ART DECO PLATFORM BED - METALLIC BED FOR TEENS BEDROOMS 2007-08-31 14:05:00 I usually lean towards platform beds for teens bedrooms because of the drawers underneath the mattress that offers storage. As well all know, teen girls have lots of stuff that needs to be packed somewhere and closet organization is usually not their strong point. Plain wooden platform beds work just fine so long as the construction is solid. They are so easy to build that your teen could put it together with the help of a couple of her girlfriends on site in the dorm room or at home. The simple instructions for how to make a platform bed frame are included with the kit and are pretty self explanatory. This metal platform bed doesn't have a drawer, but the art deco design is just too cool to look over in your search for the perfect match for your teen's contemporary bedding set. Tuck in a solid cover (black maybe?) comforter, quilt or duvet cover under the mattress to let the metallic platform bed frame shine. Add some satin or velvet pillows and pillow shams and a flokati or f
UNIQUE PINK and GREEN BEDDING for TWEENS and TEEN BEDROOMS 2007-08-31 11:44:00 What an unusual combination of bright spring-like colors and soft cuddly fabrics! At first glance, this pretty pink and green bedding at first glance appears to be another one of the cool bedding sets for teens and tweens with multi-color stripes and polka dots. Upon closer inspection of the colorful comforter or duvet cover you see that what you had thought were polka dots on the top of the coverlet are disks that resemble Lifesavers candy! A set of bedding full of sweets for the sweet teen girls in your life if you agree that the print brings colorful candies to mind.Let's see what decorating ideas for teens we can get from the pictures of the teens bedroom using this bedding collection. It's always hard to pick the best colors to paint the walls from photographs, but it seems that the decorator considered antique white or ivory not to be the best choice. The color that was used to paint the walls and the teen girl's simple small scale bedroom furniture seems to be a creamy yellow
PINK and GREEN POLKA DOTS BEDDING for TEENS and TWEENS 2007-08-30 18:42:00 Do the multi-colored polka dots and striped sheets in the pictures of this bright and colorful teen bedding set remind you of the sprinkles on top of an ice cream cone? What a perfect set of bedding for a tween or teen girl's bedroom; one that makes you remember happy days sitting at a little bistro licking the colored candy off the top of a couple of scoops of ice cream. The walls in the photo are painted lime green which is the best color to use as a background for the whimsical pink and green polka dot print quilted comforter. The decorator chose different shades of pink for the accessories. And didn't she choose just the best accessories? A pale pastel pink princess phone right out of the 60s sits beside a modern, chrome base teen perfect table lamp with a hot pink faux fur lampshade! Don't you adore all those big, fluffy pom poms on the round pink area rug? The flip flops might indicate that this teenage girl just came in from the beach! A simple white cotton bedskirt m
FUNKY FLOWER POWER RETRO TEEN BEDDING 2007-08-29 14:31:00 Here's a set of bedding straight out of the hippie's favorite summer of love. The flower power hot pink, orange, blue and purple bedding set will have your teens zoned out and painting PEACE SIGNS on their bedroom walls! The flower print is funky and perfect bedding for a teen girl's bedrooms, but there's more than just retro flower print fabrics; check out the yellow, orange and red tie-die designs on the pillow cases and shams included in this cool set of teen bedding. The sheer hot pink mesh canopy draped in a casual fashion over the head of the bed is just the finishing touch for a funky dream of a teen bedroom design. Decorating a room for your tweens and teens with this bedding set will be fun. If you ever spent time on the streets of San Francisco wearing flowers in your hair, this is the opportunity to share those memories with your teen girls. This room will have the girls draping love beads and painting temporary henna paisley designs on their faces for kicks!
EXOTIC TEEN MOROCCAN BEDROOM DECORATING IDEAS 2007-08-29 09:01:00 If there's one thing that I keep going back to when designing teen girl's bedrooms it's the sumptious look of moroccan decor. The vivid colors, beads and sheer fabrics bring loads of funky teen girl bedroom decorating ideas to mind! The cool thing about the multi-colored decorations are that they are cheap! Carved wooden headboards full of hand carved mysteries imported from far away locations like Zanzibar and Mozambique are very inexpensive. The color of the fabric draped over the tall headboard with the canopy rails attached is a color I can only define as electric lavender. The shade is not deep and dark enough to be called grape or purple but much to exciting and "in your face" to be called lavender. Note how colors from the intricately patterned coverlet have been both repeated in the neckroll pillows and accented with the coral pink, lipstick pink and electric lavender pillow. The mint green silk pillow and the blue background of the bedspread provide the cool colors to
TEEN BEDROOM - COOL, TRANQUIL, SERENE and MATURE! 2007-08-29 08:05:00 The teen bedding and bedroom design in this picture is so simple and yet so tranquil and serene. This style of décor is for the young tween or teen that is sure of herself and has no need for the trendy, funky trappings of her more immature friends. The color scheme for the room will be easy to duplicate for your teenage girl. The walls are painted sage greenThe crown moldings, chair rails are painted white as well as the plantation shutters (white wood or faux wooden blinds with two inch wide slats and matching white cloth tape will be a less expensive option)The inspirational letters, words and sayings stenciled on the teen's bedroom walls are stenciled in a deep shade of peach pink similar to the color of the sheer panels and box pleated bed skirt decorating the black wrought iron canopy over the bedA white button tufted comforter or duvet cover is topped with plaid print accent pillows placed over tailored cheetah print pillow shamsThe wooden furniture in the room is painted g
MAKING A BLACK and WHITE TOILE COMFORTER SET APPEALING TO TWEENS and TEENS 2007-08-27 14:35:00 You can come up with some of the coolest decorating ideas for teens and tweens in the world and get shot down by your girl so fast it will make your head swirl! It's a fact, our ideas of perfect teenage decor and our little lady's vision of the coolest bedroom on the block don't always mesh. Throw those conflicts and the lack of selection in cool comforters and bedding for teens and you're left with one more option: come up with some modern ideas for working with bedding collections that may work for an adult bedroom, but can be converted into bedding for teens with a little imagination and tweaking. Take the set of black and white toile bedding in the pictures above and show it to your teen. She's not going to think that the decor is very cool at all, my friend. The busy, old fashioned wallpaper might be enough to make a young girl scream that her friends will ridicule her. However, if you take that same black and white toile comforter and:Add a silky red satin bedskirtTh
TEENS and TWEENS BEDDING - CHOCOLATE BROWN and BEAUTIFUL BLUE THEME COWGIRLS COMFORTER and ACCESSORIES 2007-08-25 15:13:00 Why am I so excited about decorating a tween or teen girls bedroom using this horse bedding set? Do you really need to ask? Did you really look at the way the pillow was woven with the motif of a galloping horse in deep mink brown against the denim blue background? The design reminds me of an Indian blanket which gives me some decorating ideas for the window treatments if I could just find a saddle blanket in blue that I didn't mind cutting up to make a window valance. Don't you adore the paisley (?) design on the bedskirt? All of the other sets of horse bedding for young girls that I've found on sale recently were kind of similar. This set has one of the most unique color schemes and pattern that I've seen lately! Drag out the boots and the cowboy hats we're going to use them as teenage decorative accessories! I can see lots of aged leather chaps, boots, saddles and cowboy hats used as wall decorations and tabletop displays in this room. I'm not so sure I like the came Read more:COWGIRLS
Ideas for WESTERN FAUX SUEDE BEDDING 2007-10-24 10:45:00 "Where do I find some really cool western bedding that doesn't scream COWGIRL or COWBOY?" You will have to do it with color, pattern and pictures. Some nicely textured fabrics will help you out, too. Course woven Indian blankets, some decorative items rather than western or southwestern pictures would be better if you don't want to shout out the Old West theme in a teen's bedroom. A WESTERN OR SOUTHWESTERN COLOR SCHEME for a BEDROOMSome colors that would work might be:Rosy browns like russet, shades of chocolate brown as well as tan. You know, the colors your find in the earth, sand colorsSubdued greens like sageIf you want to cool it all down, indigo blue will do the trick, but keep it to a minimum and use it for accent only. PATTERNS and SHAPESTo see what patterns and shapes would work in your theme, study the designs that the original inhabitants, the American Indians, used for their beading and blankets.

Can Green in Teen Bedding Sets be Cool? 2007-11-05 22:10:00 Funky Geometrics and Acid GreenBedding
So, what are you going to do when your teen wants something funky and green? Green and funky don't always go hand in hand. There's jungle bedding that has lots of lush, green foliage and you might be able to stretch the description and call it wild, but funky and fun it's just not. Solid green? As big a fan as I am of the color green, there's just something overpowering about a comforter in solid green. That's just too much green to be considered cool no matter what colors or prints you pair it with. The only fabric print at the moment that I can think of that might be green enough and yet funky enough to meet your teen's approval would be bright green geometrics. Abstracts are bouncy and light-hearted and chock full of decorating possibilities. Pull one or two of the dominant colors from the print and go wild!
HOT LIPS - PINK,BLACK POLKA DOTS and STRIPES TEEN BEDDING TO SWOON OVER! 2007-11-13 11:32:00 A funky, high contrast black, white and hot pink bedding collection would be the ultimate fantasy of any teen girl! Feature all the sophisticated, high fashion motifs from spike heels to red hot pink lips on the pillows. Other decorations include high performance sports cars and svelte fashion models ready for the runway covered in sparkles, glitter and loads of glam. And you can find them all at PoshTots.com which carries high end bedding for tweens and teens as well as baby haute couture at a very inexpensive price!I love the way that black polka dots pop on the background of a bright pink comforter! You might think that this design would be a little too wild to work for decorating a girl's bedroom, even a teenager's bedroom needs a few tranquil elements but black and white striped pillow shams, bed skirts and accent pillows will tone it down to a low level of excitement that the color scheme will have a fancy French flair. I can use my romantically inclined imagination to see
INTERNATIONALLY ENTICING TWEEN BEDROOM DESIGN 2007-11-19 12:53:00 VANITY KIDNEY SHAPE PINK POODLE PINK POODLE BED SKIRT PINK POODLE RUG A little girl's transition from toddler to preteen should be recognized by tweaking the bedroom's design a bit. How does a decorator know where to draw the line between a decor that's too sophisticated for a tween girl and yet mature enough that allows hints of the stylish young lady that's blooming right before our eyes to peek through? Coming up with bedroom decorating ideas for tweens is challenging. I believe that the dramatic impact of black feathers and the softness of the color pink is the perfect balance. Stark black is the perfect background for many pastels as it grounds them and keeps them from being cloying and sappy. I give decorative accessories in black credit for being able to slip in mom's preference of an almost floral color scheme on many of my decorating projects. Black wrought iron lamps in contemporary shapes, black chandeliers and black beads will keep many prete
