Need a soft, comfortable bed set?

Aussie Lov

I'm redecorating my room to match my favorite color, green. The walls will be bright green and the carpet and ceiling white. I need a bed set that will match the room. I have a twin bed with three pillows. I want a over sized comforter to match the walls. Two of the three pillows should also be green, but the rest of the set (fitted sheets, sheets, pillow case, bed skirt ...)should be white. I would prefer the comforter to be light and fluffy. P;ease list any stores that carry anything similar to what I'm searching for. Thank You.

I have got a kids bedroom set from online furniture dealers visit http://www.spacify.com/kids_bedding_furnishings-620-210_5_5.html

I am shopping for a bedroom set for my 11 year old daughter. Is $2100 a lotof money or a reasonable price?

Q. The set I picked was honey maple. It included a headboard, footboard, dresser/mirror, night table, and a chest.

Answer
It's a LOT of money. As a mother of 5, including 4 who are 12-20 I can guarantee you're spending money on something that won't be respected. I have beds that have been written on, nail polished, smeared with nail polish remover--which is also an amazing finish remover on furniture, spilt upon, etc. If your daughter were 10 years older and getting her first home I'd be all for it. But this is a kid. Kids have accidents. Accidents ruin furniture.

Go to a decent furniture store and get her a nice $999 set with a good pillowtop mattress. Put the other $1100 in the bank and save it for her college expenses. They'll be here soon enough. Get the nice furniture when she's old enough to appreciate it and when the style will be something she'll enjoy for many years...anything you buy now will be dated by the time she's out of college.

i'm tired of the look of my bedroom and willing to change something about it to make it more cheerful... conducive for study.. i'm 21.. it's a medium sized bedroom the colour of the walls are peach-ish cos the curtains and the wall cabinets in the room are peach in colour.. i've 2 layers of curtains.. the thick peach and the thin white.. i've a queen bed which is creamish.. i've a study table, it is a glass table.. a wooden chest and a book shelf in my room. the room looks really full with all these stuffs but they are also necessary..i don't want them but i don't know about throwing them either..basically the colours are boring me. i cant change the colour of the curtains..perhaps get rid of the thick peach curtain for more light.. and the bed as well cant be changed.. there are no posters in the room.. just a wall clock and nothing else.. oh yes, i have a table fan also.. what can i do to make my room more colourful.. spacious and so that i feel like sitting in it and study!!! ideas will be very much appreciated! thanks

Answer
To make your room look larger, neat and brighter arrange your room in separate areas, with lighting for each area and a lot of natural light.

Center your bed with the headboard against a large wall with a nightstand and lamp.
Set the chest at the foot of your bed.
Place your bookshelf on the opposite wall across from the footboard.
(unless it blocks a window)
Put your study table in a far corner.
You could get a footstool to put the fan on.

Is the thin white curtain a liner or sheer?
If it's a liner replace it with white sheers.

When the weather starts getting cold put the liner back up.


Decorate with candles, vases, candle wall sconces, lava lamp, jewelry box, blown glass figurines.
Inexpensive at the Dollar Store or thrift stores. (Goodwill/St. Vincent Depaul)
Large abstract or scenic wall art above above your head board.

Here are some DIY ideas.

Wall Decals
Use contact paper ($5 roll) and cut out any design, tons of colors and easy to remove without damaging walls.

http://www.vinylodesign.com/work.htm
http://www.threadbanger.com/decor-it-yourself/episode/DEC_20080520 decor yourself < watch video, instructions after commercial

Message Board
Hang by your study table, pushpin/tac up notes, photos, memorabilia...
Cut a large square out of box cardboard, about the size of a cork board.
To make the hanger, punch two holes 1/2 inch apart 1 inch from the top in the center, thread the ends of a twisty tie (the paper covered wire used to close bread) thru the holes, turn panel over, make a loop and twist the ends.
Cut a piece of fabric 2 inches larger than the cardboard.
Lay cardboard on top of fabric and wrap to the back like a present and pin.
http://www.singermachines.co.uk/access_images/pins.jpg
You could decorate it with ribbon, make a geometric design or add a border.
(you could use an old shirt or sweater or a shirt with a cool design or your fav band,
cut the front of the shirt two inches bigger than the cardboard)

Fabric panels
Cut two or three matching size rectangles about 12"x30" out of box cardboard or a sheet of styrofoam. <available home improvement stores
Make the hanger as above, add a layer of batting and wrap each with matching fabric and hang together on one wall or you could use wallpaper and glue to the back.
For thicker panels glue layers of cardboard together.
http://www.michaels.com/art/online/projectsheet?pid=e07582

You can get remnant fabric for $1-$3 per yard at any fabric store or in the fabric section of dept. stores in every color, pattern or design imaginable.

http://www.designpublic.com/shop/wall-art/fabric-panels <I'm amazed at the prices

Picture collage
Cut out any size out of thin cardboard. (a cereal box works great)
Make the hanger.
Use a glue stick or a small drop of glue for each pic, you can arrange the photos side by side or overlapping.

Group framed photos or nature pics on one wall.
Best to arrange on the floor with largest pic in the middle before hanging or in matching frames. You can frame calendar pics or cut out pics from magazines or print pics from the net or frame wallpaper or wrapping paper in two small frames.
http://www.monchesfarm.com/Abstract%20Art.jpg <click file top left, choose print, print full page, cut down and frame in a 8x10 frame.

You can make frames, cut out any size frame from cardboard and wrap with fabric strips, wallpaper or gift wrap.
http://home.howstuffworks.com/fabric-crafts5.htm

Or a multi-pic frame

Hang a poster of your favorite band, movie or celebrity.

Shop locally, and rent a pickup truck so you don't have to have it delivered.
