Decorating ideas?

We are moving and don't want to repaint. The bedroom that my three year old will be taking is chocolate brown, a little on the dark side...amazingly she likes it! :) The other room, that my 18 mo. old will be taking, has two pink walls and two green walls, a little on the bright side. Obviously, the pink and green seems much easier to work with, but ideas are still welcome as I want both of their rooms to be nice for them.
Oh, and both kids are girls.

Does anyone know the brand and thread count of soft wonderful butterlike (not silk) sheets?

I am confused with sateen and 100% cotton. Is sateen a cotton blend or are they similiar? Or What. I like sheets that stay cool and soft. I don't care if they wrinkle just as long as they are not "starchy." Please enlighten me.

Whats the best way?

To hold bolts(or whatever) in a socket while you are trying to get it in/out of a tight place,I saw some magnets that go inside of the socket,but they are from 10mm to 19mm
I need something for smaller sizes that will hold onto it pretty good for a little while so I get it in or out of a thight place,no room for anything but a extension bar with a socket on it
I tried some tape but it didn't hold good enough
Thank for any help

How do I paint furniture for a glossy finish?

I am thinking of painting my bed frame, my bookcases, and most importantly, my desk. I want them all to become white for my room; however, I do not know how to approach the process of painting those pieces of furniture. I would like a smooth and glossy finish on each piece, especially for the desk in order to write and draw smoothly. Can someone please outline the procedure for accomplishing this?
