Unisex Room Ideas?


Posted Wednesday March 31 2010, 2:58 pm

Hi! 19/f

Me and my boyfriend have been living together for about a year now, and I'm getting kind of bored with the way that our room looks. We've made a few changes (took off our closet doors, added some furniture) but I'm still not satisfied. The walls are a dull white, and the carpet is brown. I really want to paint our room, but it's hard choosing a color we can both agree on, or a design. I'm more girly and he's more neutral and calm. I suggest ideas, and he thinks that they're too girly so I really need some ideas that could work for our room since it's the both of us.

If you need an idea of what we're like, well, we're very similar. We're both heavily into music, movies & media. I really like fashion...

Bedroom wallpaper.


Posted Tuesday December 8 2009, 12:30 am

15/F.

I'm going to be redoing my room soon, and I don't want just one flat color for the whole room. I have a room that's just about 10 by 10, so I wanted to get a black and white wall paper and put it on two of the walls and paint the other walls a solid white.

I'm not sure where to get a unique black and white wallpaper though, I want something that's more vintagey though (I'm not sure if that's a word..) I really like this one http://www.porterhousedesigns.com/colorsizzle/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/bedroom_livingetc.jpg however, I really want to see more like that too, so I can get the best one I'll like for a while.

So if you could give me a few options of places to look, that would be good...

House Building Resources?


Posted Monday September 21 2009, 12:58 pm

I will be getting about 5 acres of land from my parents' subdivision (they're selling the farm and moving out) and I would like to put a house on it. I have already applied for a road access permit so I can build a road. However, while I'm waiting for that to go through, I was wondering if anyone has ideas for resources or tips on building a rural home that would be sustainable?

Thanks!

Personalizing & re-doing my room


Posted Saturday September 19 2009, 10:12 pm

I really want to make my room more "me", but I don't really know where to start. I don't like a single thing in it. I'm all about peace, so I want my room to somehow reflect that. I was going to paint the walls green or blue. I was thinking of putting up a bunch of posters too, but I'm not sure where I'd find them. I have carpet so I can't really get any rugs or anything. I don't know. What all can I do to make it more personal?

Dark Dorm


Posted Tuesday September 1 2009, 5:27 pm

My one and only window in my dorm faces south and is surrounded by trees and I get really minimal natural light even at high noon. I have a table lamp but thats just my warm glow type of light that I use at night and then I have an overhead florescent light that mind as well not be there because its the most terrible light I've ever seen and it doesn't do anything. Oh and the walls are a dingy mossy green. I really need ways to brighten the place up because its so dark and depressing. All of my sheets and accessories are white and I obviously can't paint.

Help!! Its a dungeon!

Is it early for fall decorations?


Posted Tuesday September 1 2009, 3:32 pm

My favorite time of the season is fall. I love it so much that everytime I go to the store I always buy some little something to add to my decorations, all of which are being stored in a box in my attic. My question is, today Sepetember 1st, is it too early to decorate for the fall season? My family and I just moved in this neighborhood less than a month ago and I don't want them thinking we're odd balls lol. I really want to go ahead and decorate, the inside of my home is already FALLtastic lol, but just not sure if it would be weird. Thanks for any help I can get.

Need decorating ideas!!!


Posted Monday August 10 2009, 2:01 pm

My kitchen and my living room are in the same room. The kitchen is about 13 feet, and the living room is right next to it and is about the same measurement. We are redoing our kitchen so its a lot nicer looking. The dilemma i am having is decorating. Since there is no wall separating the kitchen and the living room, i have to do the same color theme for each room. We are putting wood floorig through out the entire house too. I want to give the area a really fresh, and polished look.

So if anyone has any ideas on how to decorate my kitchen/living room (color themes, furniture, etc) please help me out!!! Thank You!

B) What do you wish you had brought?

Thanks!
