Where can i find teen bedroom accessories?

Q. Good websites to find comforters, night stands, dressers, desks, vanity, lounge chairs, throw pillows, blankets, rungs, lamps, string lights, wall decorations, storage, picture frames, mirrors, decorative cork boards and magnetic dry erase boards, desk accessories? I want to do a zebra and hot pink theme and Im trying to find accessories to match.. Please help! I've already looked at PBteen.com and wakeupfrankie.com, but they're a little pricey... Any othe websites?

A. I'm assuming you've already bought bedding, if not, maybe something like this:

http://www.beyond-bedding.com/hot-pink-zebra-print-full-queen-teens-kids-bedding-set.html

For furniture, try ikea.com - it will be inexpensive and you'll be able to get the night stands, dressers, and desks there. I'd go with either white or black furniture to complement the bedding.
You can also try walmart and target if you are concerned with price.

Wall decorations- The bedding set shows wall hangings which can be purchased at the same site as the bedding (beyond-bedding). In addition, you can buy decorative throw pillows, windows treatments, Funky Zebra Fabric Memory/Memo Photo Bulletin Board, and even lamp shades

Frames - Buy these anywhere. You can get these very cheaply. I'd suggest a $1 can of spray paint so you can change the color of the frames for a customized look (I'd spray a few black, a few white and perhaps a few hot pink - though you could easily paint a zebra design - cheap and easy)

Mirrors - Again, buy the cheapest mirror you can find and custom paint it (Walmart or other discount store). If you must have a zebra print mirror, check this one out:

http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=zebra+mirror&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=8249285435254738615&ei=pIckTc7QL8T48Aayo8CGAg&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDgQ8wIwAw#


Rug - Walmart has several different style choices. Like this one:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Home-Dynamix-Zone-7160-Zebra-Print-Rug/12087183?findingMethod=rr

Blanket/Throw: Again, walmart has a cheap solution that comes in several colors

http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=zebra+throw&ic=48_0&Find=Find&search_constraint=4044

As far as accessorizing goes, keep in mind that a little zebra goes a long way. If you have zebra print bedding, you may want to consider solids for the lounge chair and/or throw and accent pillows. I'd pick up a lot of solids for accessories (black or white vase maybe with hot pink flowers) again, solid colored picture frames. Walmart also sells cork boards. You can paint these or cover them in a zebra fabric (or complementary fabric) and embellish it with grosgrain hot pink ribbon.

Please remember that a cheap can of spray paint can help you achieve the look you are after. Best of Luck.


Does any one currently or in the past has lived at the Al Gaim Compound in Saudi Arabia?
Q. We may be moving there after the new year and I wanted to know what facilities they have and what the houses are like. Are there any other compounds you know of in Taif? Pictures or a website with information would be great!! Thanks!

A. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g298553-i5680-k1937887-Al_Gaim_compound-Taif.html
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&q=al+gaim+compound+saudi&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1280&bih=664&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi

"Al Gaim" Compound. The compound contains approximately 300 Westerners working for companies such as McDonnell Douglas and Lear Siegler. Housing is close to western standards and consists of two, three, and four bedroom homes. They are fully furnished and carpeted. All of the homes come completely equipped with color TV, microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer, dishes, silverware, glasses and 110V American standard electricity. The compound boasts a four lane bowling alley, Olympic sized swimming pool, closed circuit TV (6 channels) softball field, racquetball, tennis and basketball courts.

Commissary and Dining. Western food stuffs are obtained, by order, through the US Military commissary in Riyadh and delivered weekly by truck. Local supermarkets also have a good selection and are readily available; but they can be somewhat expensive. Al Gaim residents and their dependents may also use dining hall and snack bar located on the compound.

Even though the houses at Al Gaim are fully equipped, the quality of some of the common items is not spectacular. You should bring such things as an extra set of glasses, silverware, and plates for everyday use and entertaining. Extra pots and pans as well as microwave cookware, and an assortment of "Tupperware" type containers are helpful too. The kitchens do come with electric stoves, refrigerators, microwave, toaster, and blender. Each house is provided with linens, but their quality is not the best, so consider bringing your own also. The beds are standard queen size in the master bedroom, and twin size in the other rooms. Don't forget to bring your favorite household decorations, paintings and pictures, Christmas tree and decorations, along with favorite knick knacks to give the place a feeling of home. Bring all of your electronic gear, stereo, computer, etc., for entertainment. Don't hesitate to bring the cabinets/shelves for them either. The biggest drawback to the houses is their lack of storage and shelf space.


How high should I price my Bedroom set?
Q. I have a bedroom set that I'm looking to sell, I want to get as much out of it as possible, but don't want to over price it. Included is a fairly large night stand, with 2 drawers, a long dresser with 7 drawers, and a bed frame that could either be queen or full.. but I would include my queen mattress and box frame. All is in good condition, the only thing that's wrong with it is there's a small ring on the night stand. I'm pretty sure it is the Thomasville brand, I know it is a name brand, but it's in storage and I cannot remember which it is.

A. go to craigslist and look at what other people are selling there stuff for and look at the pictures too - it should give you an idea of what to sell yours for and then you can post and sell yours on craigs list for free

love that site !!!


ne1 have info re swap, trade, bartering. Moving into senior housing, have stuff to trade for stuff needed?
Q. need vacuum, microwave oven, double or queen mattress & bedding in good condition. Furniture refinishing services. Have 12pc set dinnerware, metal detector, telescope & software, kitchenware, gadgets, pots & pans, unused stand mixer, antique cottage ware, bedroom lamps & etc. e-me for more details or requests. need to clear out storage unit. Schoharie county delivery. Nearby prefer pickup.

A. Have you ever tried the online service called freecycle? You list what you have for pickup and then you list what you need and look at the other listings to see if others have also listed those same items.

No one pays on either end of the deal. It works great if they have it in your town or a nearby larger town.

Good luck!! : )
