okay, I am 14 yr. old and im moving next month and i dont know how to decorate my new room!!!
I dont want my new room to be preppy!
also, nothing too goth.
I want it to look sort-of punkish.
but i already know NO BLACK WALLS(parents would freak).. i was thinking maybe i could do grays... maybe black window shades and a black comforter.

but, the question is..
HOW SHOULD I PAINT, DECORATE, AND BASICALLY DESIGN MY NEW ROOM??

ii am COMPLETELY confused. PLEASE HELP!!!
one thing that im woried about is, i dont want a big theme. last time i redid my room, i did it sun/moon/stars and in a year i hated it but i couldnt change it.

My budget is around 300$-400$ (not including paint!)

please help me!

I would like to add some depth to a wall that will be painted in a warm terra-cotta color.

I understand that color washing is done by applying a glaze, mixed with a secondary color, on top of a basecoat color.

I want the terra-cotta color of my basecoat, but with just a little variation to add depth. Can I just use the clear glaze without tint? Will this acheive the effect I want?

My house has wood paneling in the basement (think 80's) and I was wondering if anyone knew any good ideas to improve the appearance. I'm not really thrilled about painting it but thought about maybe putting different wood over it that would have a nicer appearance. Like I said, anyone have any other ideas?

I'm about to my my very first house. My husband and I want to pick some nice colors to paint several rooms with, but we're having a hard time visualizing them. Is there a website out there that you can build your living room, and try out different colors for your wall?

My living room has 9 ft ceilings, taller in the center, but I just want to paint the walls one color & leave the trim white. The room is about 15 X 18 ft. I want an idea before I even think about hiring someone. If it is too much, I will do it myself.

We have a painted wall with a stuck on border that's about 40 feet long. I want to re-paint, how can I remove it? Is there a way to remove it without buying anything expecially?

While growing up my aunt and uncle had a table like this. When not in use it looked like a nice buffet cabinet. When you opened the doors on the front you were able to pull out the table. Underneath there was storage for extra leaves and the chairs. The chairs folded up for storage.I can't remember for sure how many chairs there were but I would venture to say that there were at least eight. I haven't seen one of these tables in over 20 years. Does any one else know what I'm talkeing about?

1. the 3D view color sketches of a particular angle of the interior (they look as if done in color pencil)

2. 3D rendered detailed layout (in both jpeg and animated mpg files where you have camera movement around the place)

I went to BJs Wholesale Club and they have Bassett mattress for $100(mattress)+80 (box). Does anyone have a Bassett and do you know if it is worth the money or am I better off going elsewhere. My son is only 2 but I would like it to last a while and me or my wife may be sleeping with him at first. Any input would be greatly appreciated. This is for a twin mattress and want to try to stay under $200 if possible.
