advice

Hey everyone. I really want to do my room in a tropical hawwain kinda theme. I've been to websites like pbteen.com, wakeupfrankie.com and stuff like that. But everything is too expenceive. I want to put effort into buying things but I don't want to spend all of my money on like, 2 things. Please Help!!!! If anyone knows where I can get some cheap (and cute!!!) topical things, please tell me! thanks!!!

I think you can still surf the web for ideas, It will help you get a better idea of what you'd like to do to your room. You can get tropical themed items at Wal-mart & Target..Cheap places like that. The first big transformation would be to paint and border your room. Like if the top half is white, paint the bottom half like a sea-blue or bluish-green and put matching tropical border inbetween the two colors. Here's an example:http://www.themouseforless.com/community/showcase/rooms/Bedroom2.jpg (see the border in the middle-just paint the bottom half a different color) Also, nice pictures of hawaii or beaches would be really cool. A Tropical pattern bedspread would also be cool. You could go to Wal-Mart and go down the sewing isle and get a couple bags of cotton ($1.50 a piece) and some needles & thread and pick out some good beach or hawaiian style fabric and make dozens of throw pillows for your bed that would be a super-cheap idea and it will keep ya' busy. Hope I helped!
