Need help finding the right coral sheets for bedroom
9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago
For Christmas/Birthday we are overhauling my daughter's bedroom. She's picking out everything from a new floor up and is very excited. However as a blooming fashion designer of 12 she's picky. She wants a bright (not pastel) coral sheet and pillow set to go with this comforter (pic below). The sheets can have a pattern but I'm not adventurous so if it's up to me I will get a solid set because the comforter is busy. But I see the new thing online is 5 or 6 patterns in a room, I just don't know how to do that. We haven't bought anything yet for the room (blank canvas) except the comforter and she wanted to get her bed stuff picked out first. Unfortunately she wants a coral that is more orangey not pink or rose or salmon, but not tooo orangey that it looks terracotta, aztec or New Mexican. She says mid sunset on a clear hot day in Savannah Ga, NOT late sunset in Arizona. Obviously my first mistake is taking my daughter travelling too often lol. Anyway I have spent hours and hours looking at stuff online but it's so hard to tell and I'm at my wits end checking so many sites and still being unsure. Does anybody have personal knowledge of some vibrant orangey coral sheets I could order? Preferably not horribly expensive but not cheap scratchy ones either. Full size bed. Thank you for your help!!

I need help finding the right wood flooring for my bedroom
Comments (2)I personally wouldn't try to match the furniture. I would go with a darker wood with that furnture. As to the type of wood, there are so many to choose from I wouldn't be able to advise you there. That would be a matter of your taste and needs for that room. Good luck with your choices. I'm sure whatever you choose will be beautiful....See MoreNeed help finishing my bedroom
Comments (23)hello, I see where your husband is coming from. I would not want to cover the picture window either. Here are the options I would consider and just go with whatever ended up looking best to me: (1) Move the bed in front of the small window, raise the curtain rod to the ceiling and put the tan curtains on that rod, making sure that the top of the curtains went to the ceiling and covered the top of the window--this would mean putting the rod on the crown--which is the one thing that makes me question if this is the right thing to do. Also, extend the rod the width of the bed--so the curtains both go to the ceiling as well as fill the entire space behind the bed. Then I would move the picture window curtain rod up higher and put new panels on either side than can be opened or closed. You would need new panels as the existing ones would then be too short once you move the rod up higher--plus they would now be on the small window beside the bed. you could put the butterfly pics on either side of the picture window if the scale is right. (2) Alternatively, with the bed in front of the small window, you could do some type of tapestry, that again starts at the ceiling and covers the entire window and space above the bed. Maybe made from a twin size quilt, like you suggested. (3) Finally, consider the roman shade--however, i am not sure if the scale might be too small. But if you got a really nice fabric and had the shade lowered--the decorative effort may be just as good or better than the curtain or large fabric. And then you could put artwork on either side of the window. If you go this route then I would either paint the window trim the same as the crown or use a more contrasting stain--something darker than what it is now. In any event, from what I can see of the room, it looks like the curtain rod with the tan curtains should be higher. However, I can't see any pics of it straight on, so it may be just fine. And perhaps some artwork flanking that window. Good luck! That little window is hard to work around!...See MoreHelp selecting the right recessed lighting for a master bedroom
Comments (4)There is a whole range of prices for (recessed lighting < 4" in diameter) ranging from the low $20 - $30 to $160 + per light. The higher output, longer lived ones tend to cost significantly more. For example Juno has 2" recessed lamps (with and without gimbals) that could cost between $120+ to $200. Although pricey, they are well made. For example http://www.lowes.com/pd_635486-38269-2A-930S1-WH___?productId=50249825&pl=1&Ntt=juno+2%22 Gimbals could get out of alignment over time, requiring periodic adjustment. Some basic considerations Are these intended to provide the main lighting? If so, higher output lamps would be needed. The light dispersion - cone of light could be relatively narrow (assuming < 4" aperture) leading to more units. How much glare will you get from the lamps? The CRI (Color Rendition Index) also counts towards the cost. Is dimming important? If so, what is the advertised dimming range and what is the dimmer required? (most likely an ELV dimmer). If an electrician is going to install the lights, the labor cost will be per can and potentially become the dominant cost. The lights will likely be placed around the perimeter of the room i.e. ~ 1' to 2' from the walls....See MoreNeed help finding space for another bedroom
Comments (12)Whoa, what the heck is going on with that exterior. So, if I'm interpreting this look correctly, this is what I'm supposed to see: Someone built an old stone house (but not really, because it's fake and probably has vinyl on the side). They then later built an addition onto the left of the (fake) old stone house, but somehow weren't able to match the roof and window line of the original (btw, even the 'old' widows are off-kilter and you will never un-see that now that I've pointed it out). Then, even later, they decided to add a garage over there. But that wasn't enough space, so they threw a lean-to structure onto it. I can't really tell when the front and side porches were added on, but they clearly aren't part of the original (fake) old stone house. It's like Punky Brewster grew up and decided to become an architect. I don't know what's going on these days, but I see this strange, mismatched sock aesthetic popping up all over the place in new construction. The other day I counted 5 treatments on a front exterior elevation: horizontal siding, vertical siding, faux cedar shingle siding, brick, and that awful rock veneer stuff. All on a single side of a house. I guess this is just the natural evolution of that aesthetic playing out. The interior is quite pretty in the photos, but that's a face only a mother could love. (Edit to include: I am not an architect and the opinions of a random internet stranger don't really matter. But when I do upload my concepts in a 6 months or so, I hope they are roundly teared down in a brutally honest discourse if they are lacking)...See MoreRelated Professionals
