still need help with my daughters' bedroom
Comments (6)I don't think it matters as long as you can definitely tell they are different colors. If they are too close in shade then it might look like you were trying to match, but didn't quite make it. :-) In my daughter's room I have a shade and sheer curtains. If everything is closed then the room is really dark (great for naps and summer when she goes to bed when it's still light out). If I want just a little light, or some light with privacy, then I open the shade but leave the sheers closed. And when I want it bright, I open it all up! Works great for us. My son's room had blinds, but I replaced it with a shade. Our neighbor's son had a tragic accident because of cords from their blinds and I immediately rid my home of all cords. They even had the child safety cord winders, but he reached it somehow and figured out how to get it off. Just my two cents, since your daughter's bed will be right up against the window and she could easily stand on the bed and get to the cords....See MorePlease help my daughter/SIL with house facade...quickly!
Comments (23)I do like yellow houses, but think it makes this one looks insubstantial. I think also that the brick tones should play some role in determining the color of the house. A true taupe, with no pink undertones, would be nice for this house. In fact, I really like the darker color for the siding. Painting a house a dark color can make it look smaller. That problem can be mitigated by painting all the trim pieces a lighter color----- not white or cream, but a much, much lighter shade of the color of the siding itself. As for the foundation, I think they have done the color scheme backwards.....you don't want three great dark holes. I would paint the arches themselves (stucco or drywall or whatever it is) the same color as the house. I would add trim pieces to the outline of the arches, molding that isn't a super fancy profile, but substantial, and paint the molding the trim color they use up top (the lighter taupe). The lattice I would leave in place and paint a lighter color still....not white, but the lightest taupe compared with the siding (darkest color on the house) and trim (much lighter taupe than siding). The shutters would be the same lightest hue as the lattice. That would unify the very disparate elements and colors going on. If they replace the railing--- and I would--- I'd use simple square railings the trim color (not the lightest, but the middle color in this palette). The door would be something entirely different--- perhaps a green or even a light coral. It's a pretty house with lots of curb appeal!...See MoreCould you vote to help my daughter win a $25 grocery gift card?
Comments (16)Jaime asked me to give you ALL a big thank you from her! She won the $25 grocery card! These kids are amazing, or at least I think so! Jaime does such a good job with the refunds and couponing that they normally budget just $75 every two weeks for groceries (for her and her husband). She tells me that since she won the grocery card and also had a $25 coupon left from the early stages of this same promotion, that she will have to allow only $25 more for groceries for the next 2 weeks (in addition to the $50 (coupon and grocery card) that she now has). Wish I was that efficient of a shopper! Thank you again, everybody!...See MoreDesparate need of help decorating my daughters bedroom !
Comments (20)How old is your daughter? I think you have to start with something you love and build from there. Are you going with subtle? I think this print would look good with the company store bedding: https://www.etsy.com/listing/546642885/mermaid-art-mermaid-decor-watercolor?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=mermaid%20print&ref=sr_gallery-1-3 Or if you want something with more whimsy, this artist has 3 cute prints, a mermaid with blonde hair, brunette hair, and red hair: https://www.etsy.com/listing/593763509/mermaid-print-mermaid-art-brown-hair?ref=shop_home_active_8 Also, unless you plan to rearrange the room so that the bed isn't tucked in the corner, I don't think I would do a large area rug. What about a nice sheepskin rug in front of the bed? My son has two twin size beds in his room and he likes the sheepskin rug in between. Ikea has some that are machine washable if that's a concern....See MoreHU-457756048

last monthlast modified: last monthIt really depends on their location in relation to sectional and how large room is. Maybe only one chair could be added, allowing for other options, better quality, and to save money. If you could provide a picture of the room it would be helpful.
In regards to chairs, I’d suggest a light blue (in rug’s tone), as cream may not do anything for sectional, nothing too delicate and lighter legs to be more complementary to coffee table.
I belive she has a macrame wall hanging and thought these textured cushions might work well added to what she already has.
