yes, but first you need to give us more info... What kind of rocks do you plan to use, and will where they come from. You really should try to use flat rocks. I can't stress this enough. How wide and how tall are you wanting the wall to be? Will it be used to sit on? What will be behind the wall? This is important to the construction. What area are you in? Does it freeze? Do you have heavy rainfall? Will this wall/memorial be on a slope or level ground? I don't mean to overwhelm you with questions, it's just that every one of them helps to determine the best way to build. Also, how many kids are we talking about? And what are their ages? Suzie

Here's my opinion, I think you should put a pretty wall mirror over the vanity. Then get one of the little mirrors on an arm and attatch that. That way she can pull it out to look at the back of her hair while she flat irons. But then she can also pull it really close to her face for make-up and skin care. I'm a make-up artist and hair stylist, and I have had a few clients that have really damaged their hair with the iron. Mostly teenagers & twenty-year-olds that get a little Obsessive Compulsive with that flat iron!

For color scheme inspiration, I would look at fantasy book covers aimed at young adults (just Google under images). Some of my favorites are Melissa Marr, Holly Black, Gail Carson Levine, Diana Wynne Jones, and Herbie Brennan (and the books are great too). A few where I liked the covers but haven't read the books are Wondrous Strange by Lesley Livingston and I Was a Teenage Fairy by Francesca Lia Block. Fantasy is my all-time favorite genre, so I loooooove the idea of a moody, nighttime faerie themed room. If it were just to suit myself, I would have the dark blue ceiling have a splash of purple in it (like a sunset), and then have a deep purple on the walls that leaned blue. That way, any royal purples, blues and greens would blend in well, but still have their own character. Please note that the aubergine and eggplant purples that are popular right now are much more muted than book cover colors, so to a certain extent, you will have to decide how strong/clean you want the colors in your room to be vs muted/dirty. Personally, when I'm going deep, dark colors on walls, I like them to have more kick so the place doesn't just look dark. My bedroom right now is a red that's been blackened just enough so that I don't get a headache, but my mum can't take it for more than a few minutes. It all depends on your lighting and personal color tolerances. Also, keep in mind that when it's in the middle of the day in summer, you might be craving accents that are lighter and/or brighter, so if you have a favorite pillow/sweater/fill-in-the-blank-item that the color of consistently makes you happy, integrating that color or colors might be a good way to lighten/brighten things up seasonally, so make sure the paint colors look good with it/them. If you do go the stronger/cleaner route, to keep it from looking childish, one option would be to incorporate natural textures while keeping the uber-sparkly bits to a minimum (1-2 mirrors, 1-2 sparklies). Another is to go glam with mirrors and metals (new hardware for bedroom furniture, perhaps?). There are other ways too, but those are the easiest to pull off. Oh, and with that much dark color going on, you probably should take it easy on the black. Unless you're into the goth look, which, while there's nothing wrong with that, doesn't exactly say "A Midsummer Night's Dream". I also have to caution you about the glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling; a friend of mine did that, and apparently whatever was used on the backing wrecked the ceiling (her folks were NOT pleased). So if you're sold on the idea, just be 100% sure it's going to be easy to remove. P.S. I've included a picture that I've always loved the moody quality of, but I have no idea where I got it.

It's very common to use a patterned floor with subway tile shower walls. If you're concerned with busyness, use a larger format hex tile for the floor. You can go as large as 8". This works because they've reversed the colors of the shower, with charcoal hexes with white grout. I think the problem with your plan is the black grout with white tiles on walls and floor. Can you see how busy the below bathroom would look with black grout? And you're proposing doing that with 3x6 subways. It's like a woman who uses heavy black eyeliner. It's way too much outlining.
