Original Question

I am trying to locate a king size bed ensemble "Captiva" by Thomasville Home Furnishings...?

Q. ...(discontinued)
Apparently Thomasville Home Furnishings ceased manufacturing operations in October, 2007, and I am desperately trying to locate this bed ensemble and any matching/coordinating pieces.

A. ...Touch of Class still has some of that pattern.

Captiva Comforter Bedding by Thomasville - Captiva Comforter Set, California King

Captiva Comforter by Thomasville will turn your master suite into a tropical retreat! Cool, coastal breezes will blow right through your bedroom with this tropical bedding. Colors of brick, fern leaf, beige, and antique gold create the refreshing color palette. Cotton duck comforter features palm fronds and florals on brick grounds with twist cording on three edges. Comforter reverse has palm fronds on antique gold, which mimics the sheet set. Gathered bedskirt has a basket weave pattern and split corners in the 14" drop. Flanged, corded shams have palm fronds and florals on brick. Comforter Set includes tropical comforter, bedskirt, and sham(s).

$269.99

Bear in mind, that some of the sheets and accessories for one type of King work fine on the other. In fact, only the fitted sheet would be a problem:

A Standard King is also called an Eastern King and a California King is also called a Western King.

A Standard King is about 4" wider and a California King is 4" longer.

Standard King or Eastern King beds are about 16" wider than a Queen bed and the same length. A King size bed is sold with two box springs or frames and one mattress. This makes it easier to move.
Overall dimensions: 76" wide x 80" long
Width per person: 38"
Pros: As the widest bed commonly available in stores, the Standard King is the most comfortable for two adults. The 80" length is sufficient for most people. Sheets labeled "King Size" fit a Standard King bed.
Cons: Because of its size, a King bed may not be practical for a single person who has to do the moving by himself. They're hard to get upstairs, through narrow, winding hallways, and small rooms. A King bed may not be long enough for very tall people. Bedding is most expensive in the King sizes. The wide bed requires at least 3 standard or 2 queen or king pillows, adding to the cost.


California King or Western King beds are 12" wider than a Queen and 4" longer. This is the longest bed commonly available in stores and is the best choice for tall people. Like the Eastern King, the California King bed set comes with one mattress and two half-width box springs to be more manageable when moving. Very tall single people can sleep from corner to corner and still be comfortable.
Overall dimensions: 72" wide x 84" long
Width per person: 36"
Pros: A California King size mattress is wide enough for two to sleep comfortably and is the longest bed commonly available. Its extra length is good for tall people.
Cons: This very large mattress may be cumbersome to move and may not fit up stairs, through narrow hallways, or in small bedrooms. Like the Eastern King, the California King bed set comes with one mattress and two half-width box springs to be more manageable when moving. Very tall single people can sleep from corner to corner and still be comfortable.
Note: Some bed manufacturers change the definition of "standard" sizes by a few inches. Before you go shopping for bedding, be sure to get the exact measurements of your bed so you are able to putchase the correct size sheets.

You can see what is in stock at http://www.touchofclass.com/product/code/I088-002.do?code=CMZ2007 , but as of the time I am answering this question they still have:

Captiva comforter set

Captiva Sheet Set

Captiva Quilted Sham

Captiva Sham Tailored European

Captiva Pillow Fringed

Captiva Pillow Tailored

Captiva Pillow Tufted Box

Captiva Tablecloth


http://www.ajmoss.com/thomasville/captiva/?campaign=yahooshopping&pid=CSCK-3300-24 has one 18" KING SHIRRED BED RUFFLE left.

Original Question

What are some ideas for a teen girls bedroom?

Q. We are moving this summer and i need ideas for a bedroom theme. I already have a picture of the eiffel tower and then a new york thing with my name on it. the thing is i will be moving out in two years so i dont want to spend a lot of money. I will also be getting a huge dresser with a queen size bed with 2 matching nightstanda and a tv cabinet that are a light wood. I need some idea on how to set it up. Oh and the room will be 13x12 or 12x12

A. I depends on the girls personality. Here are a couple:

Rock and Roll Style
If your girl is an ardent fan of music, the best bet would be to revamp her room in the rock and roll style. Start by giving a dramatic look to the walls. Instead, of going for subtle colors, choose black, dark purple and red as an option. Mixing abstract colors with prints and sparkle is also fine as long as your girl loves it. Another option would be to highlight one of the walls in the room, using wall stickers and wallpapers with music theme.

Go for such bedspreads, blankets, sheets and pillows that add to the color scheme. Peg racks qualify as a great option when it comes for hanging clothes or accessorizing the room. Remember to glue old CDs at the back of your girl's bed. As for the window cover, get one that has musical notes on it, to merge it with the theme. Now, to give the final touch to your girl�s room, have a lava lamp or black light to add to the retro 70's rock and roll feel.

Classy Pink
Pink is universally known as the color of feminity. If your girl�s favorite color also happens to be pink, it would be great to style her room accordingly. Right from giving off a soft, feminine feel, pink can also be playful and cozy. If you do not want all the walls to be painted in pink, the most ideal combinations would be pink and white (classic style), pink and brown (luxurious and lavish), pink and black (chic and sophisticated) or hot pink and lime green (energetic and vibrant).

Enhance the walls by adding polka dots and ruffles. Laces and flowers would be the best way to accessorize a pretty pink bedroom. As for the armoire, get it in colors that complement the room. Make sure you replace the plain drawer pulls with crystal ones. Decorative tiebacks on windows, in pinks, jewels or glass, would be a great option. As for the lights, get a small chandelier in pink or lavender to complete the look of the room.

Dancing Queen
If your girl is a great dancer, the best bet would be style her room according to her talent. While there are different forms of dancing, ballet is a hot favorite among girls. For a ballet themed room, style the look of the walls, at first. There are umpteen wallpaper boarders or appliqués of ballerinas, in the form of ballet slippers, ribbons, bows and roses. Allot one of the walls as the 'Wall Of Fame', adorning it with the pictures of your girl�s dance performances. Make sure that every photo frame matches with the others.

One of the most important features for such a room would be the dressing table or vanity. This is because often a girl practices dance postures in front of the mirror. Make sure that the mirror is large in size and also beautifully adorned. Do not forget to create a special place for your dancer�s trophies � it may either be in the form of a display cabinet or several staggered shelves.

Cool Blue
How about giving a tropical feel to your water-loving daughter? For a girl who is into water sports, what can be more enticing than a room that reflects her taste? The first step towards creating a cool blue-theme bedroom would be to get the walls and the ceiling painted in the color. If you want to deploy two colors, go for the light and dark combination. Wallpaper with the cloud theme or water waves can be a great option for the ceiling.

The next aspect would be the bedding - make sure it is done in complementing tropical colors, such as lime green, hibiscus pink and ocean blue. Paste several framed vintage surfer posters to add to the feel of the room. As for the lights, plain lamp shades, decorated with using silk or plastic flowers, around the top and bottom rim would be the best bet. To complete the look, add potted palms or even large fake palm trees to the corners of the room.

A. PAINT
Use different tones of blues or beige/yellow.

Window Treatments: Window treatments should be light and breezy. You want to be able to imagine these curtains blowing in the breeze. Hang simple tab top or tie top curtain panels on white painted wooden rods.

Furniture: Furniture should be kept simple and have a light relaxed atmosphere. You can purchase a wicker set that includes dresser, armoire, love seat, headboard and a bench for the foot of the bed. Other alternatives would be to white wash existing furniture by thinning white paint with water or a faux glazing product, and putting layers of paint on the furniture until you are satisfied with the color.

Bedding: If you feel a strong need to use a theme item in your room decor, this is the place you will to use it. This is an item that you will keep for a year or season only. Use the color from your walls as your background color, and then choose a pattern like seashells, lighthouses, or something abstract. Keeping the walls and bedding in the same color family will further promote rest and relaxation.
