Bookcase Plans

I’ve started to remodel my room and I need help! To give you an idea…..

I’m painting my walls this color: http://i37.tinypic.com/mt88yx.png
The crown molding and trim will be white.
The floors will be this color: http://www.armstrong.com/flooring/laminate/blizzard-pine-wood-plank-L8703/floor-114379.asp

It’s going to be a very neutral room. I’m planning on getting colorful bedding and hanging up art to give the room some flair. The problem is…I don’t know what color furniture I should purchase! I’m going to get a bedside table, a desk, and two bookcases…

I don’t know whether to go with white furniture because I don’t know if that will make the room too stark white…and then, I don’t want to get wood furniture because I hate when different wood colors clash within one room :/ ARGH! What do you think? White or some kind of wood color?

Some of the outlines I have so far are:

Drapery, Pillows, Bedding
Lighting
Kitchens – Cabinet tops, backsplashes
Rugs/ Flooring
Art/Sculpture
Bookcases
Entertainment Areas
Bathroom Accessories

Feel free to throw out your favorites or add what is missing.

I’m looking for bookcases and other furniture for my bookstore, but haven’t found any I like, so I thought I’d try seeing if I could get the Amish to make me what I need.

My boyfriend and I are apartment hunting, and we’ve managed to find a favorite- close to both our jobs, great floor plan, in our price range, nice community. Only problem is, the wood trim is so ugly- i’m talking all the doors, the cabinets, the closet doors, and these big built-in bookcases in the living room. It looks like it’s 50 years old. Obviously since it’s an apartment we couldn’t replace it, and we’re not sure yet if we’d be allowed to paint… so I was wondering, is there any certain color schemes or other tricks we could use that would offset it or modernize it a little?
To answer one of the questions… it’s stained, and it’s a really dark, ashy sort of brown. Kind of difficult to describe. I suppose I shouldn’t really say outdated, but it looks like my great-grandma’s kitchen cupboards.

The main focus of the room is a bright orange couch. And when I say bright, I mean bright. Everything else in the room is a random mash of desks, bookcases, maps, etc. It’s a large space though, with sloping walls. We’re looking for a color that’s not too strong.
Thanks for any suggestions!

I went to see a house this weekend and in all the rooms where the bookcases etc touched the walls, the landlord had taped foil between the furniture and the wall. We couldn’t figure out why? Damp? Mice?
Does anyone know, or has anyone done the same thing?
Thanks

I’m looking for a clever and inexpensive way to divide a room without using walls or doors that open. Floor to ceiling bookcases and a sliding door are possibilities but I don’t know how to do it. Does anyone have tips or suggestions? Thanks!

I’m redecorating my room, and I’m hoping for dark red walls, with red and black and gold accessories. However, I don’t think my parents will agree to red walls. They want the house to be easy to sell, and are very picky about ‘permanent’ changes, such as paint. My back up plan would be gold walls, and have red and black accessories.
My bed is red, and my dresser and bookcases are very dark, almost black.
I’d like to hang up some beaded curtains to create sort of a miniature side room, where I’ll do my art and studying. I’d also like to use the beaded curtains instead of doors for the closet.
What do you think?
Any suggestions?

Thank you!!

I’m a thirty-year-old single guy. I like dogs, the outdoors, my Jeep Wrangler, autumn, good wine, travel, photography…

I’m trying to integrate my "likes" into my home. I have painted my living/dining room two colors of khaki, and a chalkboard-green wall. I have a brown leather couch, and walnut tables and bookcases. I’ve also remodeled my guest bathroom – new flooring, hardware, paint, etc.

However, I’m trying to get ideas on decorating… accent pieces, dining room furniture, bedroom furniture (blank slate right now) and my own bathroom. I need help finding websites for "bachelor pads" and masculine design (not a lot of flowery-things). I’d like to redo the kitchen with the small tiles as a backsplash.

I’d like to find websites/books/magazines that show off a masculine home. Pictures are a must!!

The main goals are to have a cool guy’s house and up the resale value.

Serious responses only… any help is appreciated. Thanks!
As I said, folks… I need pictures, websites, magazines, etc. While I appreciate the suggestions, does no one know of ANY place to LOOK at pictures to get ideas? That’s what I’m wanting.

I’m moving next month and have quite a bit of furniture I’d rather get rid of than leave… the couch is in real bad shape, but bookcases, desks, etc. are all very usable… Is there some way to donate it and get some dude in a truck to come out and take it all away?
