decorating and painting my room in blue?

Q. i'm moving into a new house soon and i've been thinking of using the ocean and beach theme to decorate my bedroom but i dont want a overly beach bum type of bedroom.i want to use shades of blue and green. i would like a fresh feel to the room because i live in country with a hot climate. any decorating ideas and ideas for paint and furniture?

A. I have the perfect paint color for you, it's called "Rainwashed" by Sherwin Williams. I wanted a look similar to your's in my bedroom. I too live in the country and wanted my room to have a feel that I'm on vacation with the ocean just outside my window. I painted all the woodwork white. Hung white sheers with white venetian blinds behind them and bought a beautiful white Matelasse' coverlet (there on sale at J C Penny right now, queen size only $44.99). You can ALWAYS get on-line coupon codes for J C Penny's as well just by googling. A few well placed pieces of coral and a few favorite seashells in a basket on the floor, a nicely framed (also white) favorite picture of the ocean and the room turned out to be everything I was looking for. Hope you have the same success. You can find that paint color at

What are some calming, cheap bedroom decorating ideas?
Q. I am moving soon, and my room will be somewhat small. I have a queen size bed and I am wanting to do something cheap but sensual to it? any ideas? red is kinda my theme but i dont plan to paint the walls (they are white). any tips??

A. Use throw pillows to decorate your bed...the more pillows the better. Get all shapes and sizes. It creates an illusion that will make you want to fall into the middle of them...as if you were a little kid. Its a very comforting thought, sort of like a big hug. I rather enjoy it. Of course if you are married or living with a significant other then "HE" may not go for that as it will seem too girlie or childish to a guy. But hey if its your room...dazzle yourself. Be creative. Buy a few multicolored light bulbs to put in your lamps. Cover the lamp shades with scarves to emit a softer light. You can have all sorts of fun with that. Good luck.


What are some good websites for tips on decorating rooms and diy projects?
Q. I need websites with ideas to decorate rooms (all rooms, not just bedrooms). Also, with do it yourself projects for your room.
