I've never had to put one together before. Right now in our room we have the mattress and the thing that goes underneath it that has springs all over it. It's pretty low....what else is it supposed to have ....a bed rail? I want a bed thats pretty high. And when I stayed at a hotel recently they had something that went all the way around the bed, like wooden and their bed was pretty high. Clue me in please?

I want to decorate my room with black/dark brown modern furniture and I would like to have a bluish color on my walls.

Could you give me a suggestion on what type of blue color I should pick?

It would also be great if I could use brown, gray, white, and other blue accents with it.

And should I paint the whole room or just one wall?

We are starting a painting project in my son's room. All the trim throughout the home is white (doors too). We have decided to leave it that way and not paint the trim or the doors. However, we are adding in a chair rail and have planned to paint it a different color...The room will be green above the rail//chocolate below rail and the rail we are planning on painting a color something like a tourquois....while still leaving the trim and doors white. Advice, comments? Thanks Tons! : )
