redecorating for a pink, black, and white mysterious look?

July 31st, 2010

The room is bubblegum pink with white baseboards. It is going to stay that way but I am going to add a thick black stripe through the middle, spreading along the walls, all through the room.

The bed is a twin. A white iron looking bed that used to be a canopy. I have since gotten rid of the canopy part.

The furniture I plan to get will be modern looking.

(printer stand to be used as a bed side table)

The dresser will be white to keep the bed tied in.

Chairs in the room will be black.

MY PROBLEM IS:
I want there to be enough black so the room isn’t over powered with pink and white. However, I want a balance.
Bedding is kicking my butt. I want something slightly mysterious that i can pull a theme from to incorporate into the rest of the room.

I am going for a mood of mystery created by birds sort of like Edgar Allan Poe’s "the raven"

How do I add more shelves to my bookcase?

July 5th, 2010

I have a tall bookcase much like this one: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5515900.

Since its height made my room look smaller, I set it lengthwise by moving it 45 degrees, or the longest side parallel to the floor. The problem is, the shelves are now partitioned vertically. I was thinking to add a shelf to the middle so that I could make 10 cubes from the 5 shelves. How would I go about doing that?

Would this look good in a tiny bedroom for 14 year old girl?

May 9th, 2010

I am a female; 14. I am allowed to redo my room finally!. It has been pink sunset with barbie sheets for 10 years. I am able to do whatever I want. Finally, I think I know what I want. My favorite colors are buttery yellow, light blue, and light purple; also black. My main store to get things will be walmart. I love penguines and dots. I found the perfect sheets. Also, I found purple curtains. A black and white blanket, too. I plan on painting my room the yellow and painting my door with black with purple and blue polka dots. Right at the top of my wall I am going to put cute quotes and my favorite quotes. "Life’s a sandbox; dig it" and other qurky sayings. My furniture is all white. I have a twin bed, white night stand, and a bookcase. My room is 9×9 +/-. Any suggestions? I plan to seperate the quotes with a circle. Thanks.

I do believe I’ll like my room for 4 more years or longer. once I go to college, my little sister gets her own room (from her twin). So I can’t draw much on my wallm but she like dots too. Should I do beads at my closet. I have no door there, since my puppy has his bed there. That’s the only place he’ll sleep. Maybe blue and purple beads alternating.
as for arrangiing my rooom there is only one way i like it. my closet and door are on same wall and window on opposite wall. i can’t put bed anyther way or it either makes room look small and leaves no flooor space or makes it where i can’t get to my dresser (my bed has dresser draws underneath. Also, with two dogs and a rat, I have to keep them in mind, Riddle has a hanging cage and Junior a chihuahua is old and doesn’t like change
one last addition. I saw some polka dot place mats. they are 12 x 12 inches and would measure perfectly on my night stand and bookcase. I think it’d add another personal touch. Or should i paint little penguins or dot on by hand. either way Im fine. I would use spray adhesive one the place mats.
i am not painting penguins no my walls. I am just painting some small ones on my bookcase and on the ends of my night stand. Then I have a curtain I found at Target with little penguins on it. My bedsheets have dots and penguins. Also, I’ve ordered a candle dish thing that has penguins on it. I have a blue lamp from Family Dollar with blue sequin dots. I may have a penguin on my door. My dog has to be able to see me from his bed in my closet, soo I’m just going to get beads. He whines if he can’t see me, but is just a pup and can’t get off bed and i don’t want any accidents. My other dog is on my bed. The quotes will be seperated by dots too. I bought a bathroom rug with penguins on it foor my door, it may help out my carpet.
i have started painting. I decided instead of painting the dots on my door, I’d use wall stickers. They look good. I love it. I have my door and three small walls doone (room isn’t perfect square more like square with rectangle for door. lol. my dogs are made because they can’t get in. my color is fruit citrus by Kilz casual coloors. It covers the pink good. I have a picture of door. just turn head t see.
