Cool romm ideas for. 12x12 bedroom?




Alex


My room is small. The bed is a twin and I have a desk next to it. Then there is my closet and shelves, I have a bulletin board as well. Thanks in advance!! :Dððððððð


Answer
get a loft bed...

from ikea or somewhere like that.

you can then stick a loveseat style couch under your bed and make it so you can get a decent tv and setup for gaming,

large bedroom ideas?




LetsMakeAS


i have a very large bedroom, originally a bonus room. its very rectangle shaped. it makes an awkward setup. but i wana make it into a good sized bedroom. any ideas to help make it look smaller? or furniture options to take up some of the space?


Answer
add 2 sitting chairs and a faux (electric fireplace)fireplace, area rug and a nice floor lamp for coziness and a place to read/relax. Paint a rich color on all four walls. Bookcase/entertainment wall unit at the end of the wall opposite end of your bed. Use big dramatic curtains. Bigger or bold patterns for bedding/curtains/rugs. Chaise lounge with a nice side table and floor lamp.

Your lucky to have the room to have this option. Have fun with it.

Here is the sectional :::

I don't want all brown!!! What should I paint the walls? I want an accent, maybe a red? PLEASE HELP!!!



Answer
For the living room, i suggest a color called "reddened earth" by sherwin williams. it will coordinate with the sofa to create a warm natural feel in the room.

As for the bedroom, i think a mauve, like "damsel," would look good with the brown.

If you want to do an accent wall, then I would use "damsel" on one wall, and then paint the others "summit gray" (more of a green tone, actually).

Good luck!

Would it be cheaper to make a loft for my twin sized bed or buy one?




emsymarie


Also would it be cheaper to make a U shaped desk or buy one?
THANKS(:
Think of the loft as a bunkbed but without the bed under for room for a desk. The bed goes on top.



Answer
Far cheaper to construct your own. They are getting a fair bit of money for the loft beds such as the ones at PB carrying price tags of well over 1K.

There are many ways to make a loft on your own. This is preferable as you can set your height according to your bed height and persoal height and cieling. One of the easiest ways to construct a loft is using the Ikea cabinets and securing a board over the top to hold your mattress. Utilizing modular peices you can create an excellent space with no sawing. http://dornob.com/lofted-space-saving-furniture-for-bedroom-interiors/ or http://www.finehomebuilding.com/item/8665/allisons-bedroom-trebbi-custom-construction-fort-lauderdale-florida More simplistically you can use 2 (or more) fence sections and tie them together with 2 x 4 cross pieces and add a shelf under it for your desk. http://www.prowellwoodworks.com/gate/9_wood_gate.htm

As far as an "U" shaped desk that's another animal. Used office supply and thrift shops can sometimes find you a great deal. A fast DIY Would be to support a top peice of plywood or MDF and laminate or paint the surface using file cabinets as a base. Don't overlook used kitchen cabinets as an option to create what you want. http://www.goatinatree.com/desk/desk.htm http://winnipeg.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-home-garden-Kitchen-Cabinets-W0QQAdIdZ213776195

In the end you have to choose the look you want and see how you can most economically achieve it.

How to paint my bedroom set black?




Nichoel


I have a bed, a dresser, a chest of drawers and an end table - they are already finished - This is a huge project that I want to do as efficiently as possible. Do I have to strip the lacquer or varnish (whatever makes it smooth)? If I just sand -- to what extent? What kind of paint? Please help!!!


Answer
Had a shop & painted quite a few bedroom suites.
If the existinfg finis is tight , no need to strip just clean. scuff lightly, fill dings.prime & paint.
Have answered this question a number of times , the same way
Search answers for details.
Basically use auto body painting techniques & materials.
Had spray equipment but auto spraycans are just fine.
Its the paint , not how it is sprayed on that matters.
The wet dry sanding between multiple thin coats of paint & final buffing is what gives the smooth finish.
Way back when would charge around $300 for a paintjob.
Guessing it will be about $50 or so for materials and quite a bit of your time to get really good results.
Best regards

Veneer chipped and cracked on antique bedroom set, what should I do?




Jen R


I recently purchased an antique bedroom set online, when it arrived I was shocked to find that the veneer is cracked, bubbled, chipped, broken, you name it, it has real wood underneath, I was wondering if there is a way to take the veneer off and sand and finish the wood underneath.

I do not want to return the set, I got a really good deal on it for it being antique and I love the style, I am very crafty and do not have the money to pay a professional, so I need advice on doing it myself.

Is there a way to repair the veneer? Or am I better of stripping it and redoing it, If so how do I do that, also, only the drawers are veneer, the top is and bed are varnished and I plan on stripping them and redoing them, but I don't know much about veneer!! HELP!



Answer
There are various things going on here. Is there a way you can get a photo online to look at. It would be easier to help you that way. A few suggestions in the meantime.

If it is truly antique, then maybe you will be destroying alot of value if you strip and refinish the piece.

Is the actual veneer cracked, missing pieces, etc, or is it just the finish that is damaged?

Removal of the veneer might be easy. By placing a hot iron on the veneer, put a damp cloth between the iron and the wood, the heat should reactivate the glue (if the glue is hide or PVA glue, but not contact cement) making it easier to remove.

does anyone have bedroom ideas?




sunshine.e


im 15 and im redoing my room. i got a full size bed. and a comforter set. i also have a small vanity and a desk (not sure if its staying though). im either painting my room mint green or a lightish turqouise color with an accent wall in a darker color. i was wondering if anyof you guys had good ideas on how to decorate or arrange furniture or add fun to my room. oh its not the biggest room over...but its medium sizes. i also have a bookcase and an extra dresser in addition to my closet.
http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=119044
above is my comforter.

thankss in advance.



Answer
Thats a really cute comforter set!
I would suggest putting all your furnature against the walls. This will make the room seam bigger, cause you'll have more space in the center.
It would be cool to get like a huge black shag rug for the center of your floor. Or white - depending on the color of your bed, and the color of the carpet.
And not everything has to match. You could get a whole bunch of colorful pillows and just put them everywhere. Big ones and little ones.
Shadow boxes for the walls would be cute too.
If you don't know what thoes are - look them up on google or something, im sure you've seen them before. They make a good place to put stuff, and they''ll match the style of the comforter and stuff.
I love redoing rooms. =]

Good luck!
