okay My Kitchen is all white. My cabinets are that weird plastiky white kind with red handles, the appliances are white and everything. The whole thing looks horrible. The floor is old and disgusting linolium, and since we moved our door to the other side of the room theres sheet rock showing below some of the cabinets.We aren't getting the whole thing done until summer possibly. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to make it look not so white? Is there any kind of decorations i can use to liven this mess up? is there any some typical things out there that make the kitchen look any better? becasue really, nothing matches, and looks good.It's just so horrible looking sometimes. I really can't bear it.
get a new floor and paint the cabinets, try watching the home decorating tv shows also , they always give you great ideas on a low budget on how to make it look great even when your doing it yourself
I am a 15/female and am redoing my bedroom (besides my furniture.) The furniture I currently have is like a beige color. My carpet is also beige and my walls are bare and white. My room is fairly large. Right now the design is like roses, but not cute ones, like old lady roses. I want to make the room more teenagerish, less my parents designing it when I was in second grade. Please, any ideas for my room or if you are a teenage girl, could you tell me what your room is like. All advice would be enjoyed! Thank you!!
if you have a bigger budget then put in some hardwood or the laminate hardwood stuff to break up the beige, and dont go to wild with the color or youll get sick of it, do greens or blues, purple, or if you do want it brighter dont paint all the walls the same color, paint one or two the bright color and keep the others white, look for the beding and accesories first so that you can use them to find theme colors and the perfect shade for you, its easier than finding the shade then the stuff
Ok well im going to paint my room a light green and im wondering if i should get a different shade of green for my bedspread and stuff or should i get a light orange one? please help me out! Thanx!! :o)
it depends on what your room accesories are like, going with a more greeny color would be better, but try something green with a little sheen of another color in it
k so last year i was really obsessed with pink and i re-decorated my room so that it is all pink and like green (way more pink though) i really like the colors orange and yellow but my parents said that I can't paint my walls another color for at least 3 years! also i probably shouldn't get a different bed spread because for 3 years in a row i have gotten a new bed spread so i think it might be getting a little ridiculous! if you have any ideas of places to get good decorating stuff that is orange or yellow please tell me (and please be specific cause i rate really well!) thank you so much
wellsince people often get tired of colors quickly esp. teens you should try doing something fun and cheap to get ur decor. paint a vase and get fresh flowers, go take some photos in black and white , and for some color in them you can put them onto your comp. and put some color in, basically dont spend to much since it will get boring after a while, try setting a spending limit, seeing what ur friends dont want anymore, and making stuff
my bedroom tends to gets really messy.There is not enough closet space for all my clothes & not enough storage space for all my belongings. my room isn't that big and i need some ideas on how i could organize my stuff. any ideas are really appreciated. thanks so much!!

i have the exact same problem- too little room to much stuff- but im fixing it what you need to do is go through everything and get rid of as much as you can part with, if you are like me you have trouble parting with stuff, but remember- you really wont miss it,and youll will be much happier with your room when its gone, do this about every six months to a year so you dont overload- then go to the local art/craft type of shop and buy some boxs- little ones about the size of shoeboxs some smaller and larger work too, you want to buy them cheap but stylish so that you can have them around your room and not just hidding in your room, store things in them like playing cards nail polish etc. also get larger under the bed boxes for off season clothes and blankets
MY ADVICE: get rid of as much as you can part with, organize with storage boxes and types of clothing
My room is purple. I have a couple things hanging from the cieling an a really cute bed spread. I want some more ideas on how i can make it more decorative. Like what kind of stuff i need on my walls mostly. What colors i need, and stuff like that. i have carpet now, but i want hard wood floors. shoudl i get a light colored wood, or a dark? shoul di put a rug over it? a small on in the middle? or just leave it uncovered? I have no idea what to do i just want my room to be really cute. Please make any suggestions, i could use ANY help that you willing to give weather its a little thing or big.-->ME!
if you want wood floors and your room is a dark color go with a more medium toned wood, because a dark wood cant be to dark and grim and it may feel more cramped, a light tone with a dark room will be awkward, a medium tone will work best,
as for the wall artsie things like reprints of famouse artists like monet and van gogh always make a room look nice and more sophisticated, if that is not you style then go to a store like micheals or joanns and find some great prints,or you could paint or draw something your self and frame it, you dont have to be a great artist for it to look great and your room will be more personal,you should also try taking some pictures you have and drawing/painting them yourself, itll be fun for you and your friends to see,you can also put pictures on paper and paint around them.
My Advice:make it personal and fun, itll be better spending time in your room then
I just bought an incense stick holder and a bunch of incense sticks, but I don't know how to burn them right. It cost 11.00 all together for the holder and the 14 sticks, and I am only 13 so that's a lot of wasted money for me. Does anyone know how to burn them, because when I did, it just smelled like smoke/charcoal instead of lavendar like it was supposed to be. I know you have to smolder them, not burn them, and I did. My mom is being really negative about it and its really annoying, so can someone please tell me how to do it?
P.S. Otherwise I just wasted a little over 2 weeks allowance, and I have to buy other stuff, too!
what you do is hold the match or lighter like your buring a candle after a few second blow it out put it in the holder befor lighting it
My ADVICE: dont burn your house down ;)
