I have a room in my house that is used as a home office and music room. I am wanting to redecorate and am thinking about the shabby chic style. I can't decide what color to paint the walls. I am leaning towards sage green, pale pink or pale aqua. I am wanting to buy a white desk and accessories. I want to promote an atmosphere of calm and confidence. Additionally, I hope to resell my house within the next year. So, any suggestions?

I've seen really nice town houses going for about $200,000, but I'm afraid to buy them cause I fear that we will have a hard time selling in the future when it's time to move on. Any suggestions as to what websites to look at or any good answers?

I am having a tough time deciding on what color of window treatments to go with in our family room. The walls are painted a golden yellow and our furniture is a chocolate brown sectional with a brown recliner and an accent chair that is multi-colored taupe, yellow, red, and brown. It is faint since the stripes are very small. It is an awesome family room. We also have hardwoods. Please help with what color window treatments would look best. We have a large bay window with a doorwall and three other large windows. Thanks!

I have around 5 or 6 notepads, all differnt sizes & different colors/animals/saying. I truthfully need them all. Some have horses & some say Best Friends & some just have cool designs. I need them for taking notes (I am homeschooled), repleying to snail-mail & I volunteer at a retirement community & that is how I normally get back with the cordinater of volunteers.
What is a way to keep them all organized? Is there a way to make them still on my desk with out looking overly crowded?

My seventeen year old daughter is going away with some friends on a roadtrip, and while she's gone, I want to redo her room.

She's always saying she wants to redo it, but she has no ideas on how yet.

So I thought as a nice suprise, i'd do it for her.

I need some ideas on stuff to get her, and heres what she needs.

1. She got rid of everything on her walls, she said she grew out of it all, so I need things for her walls.
2. Some things to put around the room in decoration.
3. Some things for her desk, etc.

Her favorite color is purple, so her walls are purple and so is her bedding.

Also, i'm redoing her bathroom, which is pink, so I need some tips on that.

If your sixteen/seventeen/eighteen and can give me some pictures of what your rooms look like, or if your a mother who has a child that age, that would be really helpful.

Or to find something online and give me a picture.

Thank you everyone.

I must have gone crazy during college because somehow I decorated almost every room in my house with tan and white thinking it was a very clean simple look. Well it is, but it's also very boring. I finally realized what I'd done and added a green to my living room, but that's still very neutral. My bedroom and upstairs bathroom are tan and white also. Can I add splashes of color to tan and white or would that look ridiculous? I want to do deep colors like red and purple. Something bold. How do I do this without it looking dumb?

I DO NOT want liquid nail, I need something that removes easily. The biggest mirror is about 16 inches, and 1.5 pounds. The smallest is 3/4 inches. These mirrors are permanent, but just in case they look stupid, or I'm sick of them, i want an easy way to remove them. I also DO NOT want to use traditional mounting because that would take FOREVER, and the mirrors are frameless so it might be tricky and hard.

Thank You!

I want to change up my bedroom. Its quite a big master with a good sized window and a walk out to a deck (a regular door, not sliding glass door) I rent so it cant be anything permanent. Currently the walls are a silver blue with a blue and chocolate brown bedding. This is my set: http://www.lnt.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2467815&cp=1331605.1331626.1331988&parentPage=family

My bed doesnt have a head board, and although I just painted, I still feel like its kind of plain.

I like the colour scheme I have, but Im having trouble thinking of cool accessories and things to add. And as a recent graduate Im still paying student loans, so Im on a budget!

Any ideas on some DIY projects?
