I need some help decorating Master Bedroom and I don't know where to start!?

Cassie B

So my Husband and I are buying a new house and we'd really like to do something special in the Master Bedroom, but I am a decorating novice. We really like earthy/natural colors, but I'm really hitting a block. I can't decide what color paint or even bedding. We do have nice maple dresser and nightstand set with marble tops that we are going to keep, but other than that I've got nothing. I would really appreciate it if someone could find me links for bedding, decorations, and maybe some paint color options. We really like browns and golds but I don't want to be too boring.

Answer
Your maple dresser & marble top nt stands are the inspiration. Do your walls a charcoal gray, which lookd GREAT with maple, like Sherwin Williams 7074 Softare. Your ceilings 7072 Online. Add crown molding. All trim & that molding in white. Add a chandalier over the bed. Go to Bassett Furniture & get an upholstered headboard in black linen with platimum nailhead trim. If you do carpet, get a golden brown & your bedding, luscious silk duvet, in the same color. Add a black bed scarf at the end of the bed (maybe even a faux black mink). For window treatments, do a natural woven roman shade under a silk drapery that coordinates with the bedding on black decorative rods. Check out Penneys website & catalog for some inspiration, especially the window treatments & bedding.

Help with decorating my bedroom?

bedroom set marble top image

Bamagirl20

I'm moving to a new apartment and want to do something new. My furniture is all sort of pine with my dresser that is pine with a black marble top. I have a chocolate brown rug. I need a color scheme and bedding options and stuff... The walls are white so I guess I'd like to warm it up. I like the black and white theme but my furniture is wood so maybe a crimson and chocolate or would that look gothic? Just any ideas and any pretty bedding pictures i would appreciate!

Answer
Hi, I love the idea of crimson and chocolate, it will be a lot warmer than black and white and definately wont look gothic!
Here's a link to a pretty bedding set, that would look good with your brown rug and maybe cream walls http://www.linenslimited.co.uk/anastatia-duvet-cover-set-king-amethyst-p-1969.html

Also teal works well with chocolate, these two sets have a splash of teal in them, mixed with creams and beiges, and you could add chocolate cushions to bring the room together!

Can a cultured marble counter top support a full 20-30 gallon aquarium?

Dboy

In my bedroom I am planning to get a fish tank. I'm planning on it being to be about 20-30 gallons. So we are talking about 166.8 to 250.2 pounds in terms of water. With a high estimate of 60 pounds of other things (filter, weight of tank, rocks, filter, decorations, etc.) In total, the aquarium will be around 226.8 to 310.2 pounds. I was originally planning to set it on my counter top, which is cultured marble. The fact of the matter is that cultured marble can bend or warp with excessive weight. I'm not knowledgeable enough about cultured marble but I don't want to set the aquarium up until I have a good enough idea that it will be ok to set it up there.

Answer
Well, if it is cultured marble that is meant to be used as for counter tops and not the other kinds like shower panels then it should be fine. If you cultured marble has a bullnose then you might want reinforce the bottom of the marble with a thick peice of plywood and gluing all around in between with liquid nails (this will help prevent the marble to warp and keep it straight).

What toys/games did children have in the Victorian times?

....

Answer
Hiya,

For both adults and youngsters, Skittles and Charades, a Victorian game which is still played today.

Blindman's Bluff .

"I'm Thinking of Something" similar to the game of "Twenty Questions".

For the Victorians, games like Checkers, Chess, Backgammon, and Cribbage were also popular.

Ice Skating was an approved winter-time sport. In 1876, however, the first artificially refrigerated ice rink was crafted in Chelsea, London.

Horseback riding was often learned at an early age.

Marbles were enjoyed by both boys and girls. Wealthier players had marbles which were made out of real marble, while others had marbles made of glass or clay.

Tops and Jacks were Victorian games and toys that could be played.

The first rules for Badminton were written in India in 1873, and this game hasn't much changed. Formerly known as "Hit and Scream".

Upper class and middle class...

Girls honed their home-making skills while boys would learn either estate management or financial procedures.

Dances and other group gatherings would happen on a regular basis. Trips to the seaside or to The Continent.

Victorian toys for these children were expensive. Rocking horses with real hair and doll's houses. Wax dolls and tea sets would often be set up in a corner of the bedroom.

Boys would have train sets, toy soldiers, marbles, checker boards and chess sets.

Working class children...

Although perhaps not played with often, Boys would use yo-yo's, tin soldiers, and toy drums. Marbles were popular.

Girls would make their own dolls from bits of rags and buttons as well as hopscotch.

If toys couldn't be found, rolling a hoop down the street would use any energy which was left over from a day of work. Games of hide-and-seek and Blindman's Bluff would be enjoyed by groups of children

Hope this is useful,

Question about master bedroom furniture?

jenk

I have a really beautiful bedroom set with a canopy and a huge four poster bed and marble top dresser and night stands. The bedroom size is unfortunately average not considered large. On the opposite side of the bed I have a flat screen tv on the wall. My husband found a really classy desk that matches the exact color and style of our bedroom. There would still be enough space to walk comfortably. Would it look bad if we placed that desk in that area where the tv is? It has no shelves or anything almost looks like a table. The study room is always being used up by everyone else in the house and my husband does a lot of work on the computer. Please advise me if this sounds like an ok idea.....

Answer
I agree with the standing outside and studying your room, its a really good way to get to know your room. Another thing though is that you need to figure out where the traffic flow of your room is. So the places you'll need space for the most. Its good that there is a comfortable amount of space to walk but what about when he's working? and you wanna walk through? I can't really imagine how far the bed is from the wall that the TV is on, but maybe putting the desk up against the wall underneath the TV is its not too overwhelming to the look of the room.

if the bed is far enough from that wall with the TV then I'd say go for it leave it where you intended and maybe get a small area rug for that desk so you can separate the little island of workspace your husband has got.

Hope i Helped a little!
