What type of wall art works well in a bedroom?

ktdance8

I want black and white photos and wall art in my bedroom, but I'm not sure what kind of wall art. Like should i get a black and white picture of a flower, of nature, or just stick to art that is more abstract?

Answer
Black and white artwork is contemporary/modern style, adding pops of color with accents, rug and abstract art.
The desk from your previous post is in between traditional and modern so you can have any type of artwork that inspires you, it's best to choose colors that will be pulled from the artwork from a color in your bedspread and accents.

Hang a set of candle wall sconces.

Candles in various heights and sizes always make great accessories.

You can make abstract art and frame it with a poster frame.
Get a poster board ($3 at walmart) and paint simple abstract art using the colors in the room or more extravagant if you love to paint.

Hi guys!
My room is a light olive green color and one wall is dark beige. I need to find a pretty comforter that would match it, but I can't find anything!
I am a teenager, but the problem is that I am looking for something a little more mature and feminine than hot pink zebra stripes. And all the adult comforters are too mature for me.
If any of you guys can find anything I will love you forever!
So the basics are:
I need something feminine but not old lady.

I'm Clearing my very small home out and having a yard sale?

Q. and I need to clear out 1 small room of 4 to set up work area for my small busness. I have no idea on priceing old albums ,books, fashion wear, cup collections,2 50 gal fish tanks, workout equip.,office supply tools,bedroom furn,. craft supply, furn etc etc any suggtions how long should I have it before I donate anything.

Answer
Well, if I were in your shoes, it all depends on:
(1) how badly you need the money from the yard sale;
(2) how badly you need that room cleared out for your business;
(3) how you handle the advertising of your stuff/sale;
(4) how patient you are through the entire process.

Be honest with yourself about your goals. Is the stuff really worth anything? Check out a couple consignment shops and thrift stores to see what sort of pricing you are competing with in your area. I'd probably take the best items to a consignment shop, where they get a % of the selling price for hosting your things and handling the sale. This also clears a lot of smace right away. Anything you have that might be of questionable value to others and not worth much at yard sale prices, donate it at the beginning. Don't frustrate yourself trying to sell items that are not desirable in your area at this time. Again, you have cleared a bit of space in that room very quickly. Yard sales are hot, sweaty, boring tasks that compromise your entire weekend. Then you will be fending off the early birds that show up at your doorstep at the first light. Not to mention the ones that continue to drop by in hopes of picking up bargains at the end. Put a price on your time for all this labor. Compare that price to the anticipated value of the sale. Chances are, at this point you might be thinking it may not be worthwhile to hold a yard sale. Now weigh in how you will feel if the neighbors on your street come over to eyeball you junk and then go home (empty handed). After putting the best stuff on consignment, and advertising the other choice pieces in the local neighborhood newspapers, and donating what probably won't sell, Take what is left, lay it out on a sheet or blanket on the front lawn and have a one day clearance. This actually works better if you live in an apartment complex and can get permission to hold a stairwell yard sale. Then the neighbors will be helping to attract customers with their stuff too. If it doesn't sell in the first day after all that preparation, pitch it or donate it. Good Luck.
