I've looked EVERYWHERE for bedroom ideas for a Brown and Cream bedroom colour. My room is pretty small. I have no idea how to place things into my room and where to place it. My computer also has to be in my room is occupies more space. I only have a bed and this desk/shelf type of thing: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/20116071 but in walnut effect colour. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to place furniture and stuff in my room for example "you should place the bed on the brown side of the wall and beside it should be....etc" P.s also tell me which furniture i should buy. THANK you so much,

^This is exactly how my bedroom looks like but the wall on the left is more of a cream colour.

I really love brown and cream walls, and they really look good in small-ish rooms. So that was a good place to start. I think a brown theme would go well, especially if you already have a walnut-ty type desk, which, I can imagine, must be beautiful! So I think you should build off that, if you want to have a bit of a themed room, and for everything to match. You could have really cool little bedside tables, I'd advise just browsing through google images, some of the furniture there is really inspiring, with a lot of unconventional style type stuff, which is really cool! You can find a lot of new modern walnut wood furniture, but you might find that sort of shabby-chic furnitures really work well, so you may have to hunt around garage sales, and the like. You can find some really cool stuff there!
Bedding like this:

would really compliment your walls, the brown is really beautiful, and the bedding/pillows tie in both the creams and browns of your walls! The layered effect, of lots of pillows with lots of different textures but the same sort of tones can only really work in certain situations with specific colours, as sometimes the whole room can just look too busy! However, in this case, with the somewhat neutral colour scheme, it really works, so you should take advantage of this!
If you have the room, you could also have just one nice chair in your room, which has similar woods, but a really cool antiquey fabric on thes seat, which would really go with this theme I'm (trying to!) describe, which not only could you use as just a statement piece, but also as a chair for your desk/computer. However, these sort of furnitures are not only expensive, but really really hard to find, so these are just suggestions, of course, and you can really do anything!
Instead of doing this antiquey style room, which admittedly would be really hard to pull off, and very expensive (well, a girl can dream! ), it might be easier for you to do just really clean edges, take the same style wood colour of your desk, and just use that as a base for your whole room. If it doesn't really match your bed, that doesn't matter, because the bed is kind of an individual, unique piece in the room, which is supposed to be the focus point, because of the bold statements in colours, textures, fabrics, etc. Some colours which could look really nice in your room as accents, on the bedding or the pillows, or whatever, could possibly be really soft blues, probably not harsh blues as they might clash with the creams. Or, you could do really dark blues, like navy, and then compliment that with really really pale blue, in a floral print maybe?! That would also look very good. The whole brown colour concept is excellent, as it goes with pretty much everything, but they especially compliment blues...
For the issue of where to place your bed, I would say on the brown wall, or one of them at least, because the brown is kind of like the 'feature wall', so that's where your eye is drawn to, so it's good when the bed's there too. You should do bedside tables, if your bed isn't in the corner of the room, I would make sure to do two bedside tables on each side, to create symmetry in the room, plus they don't take up that much space, which is good. The other thing with room layout is that you don't necessarily want to mix your 'relax' area with your 'work' area, so having your computer in your room probably isn't the most ideal, but it doesn't really matter, just maybe you should define which area in your room is which, I mean, I realise that your room probably isn't the biggest room in the world, but what I'm just saying is probably don't place it right next to your bed.
Also potentially having some plants in your room could look really nice, create a nice atmosphere, and maybe make your room look bigger.
In saying this, I really have no idea what shape your room is, or what lighting you have, or the actual colour of your room, so this advice could be all completely wrong! It would be easier if we could see pictures of your room, but it doesn't really matter, you can choose to use my advice, or dismiss it as crap! There are so many potential combinations which could look great in your room, I'm sure you'll be able to work something out if need be. Good luck, hope this helped! =)
Ideas for a film in a old farm house?
Alice
So, my town has this old house that might be torn down soon (at least thats what I hear). Its a beautiful, old farm house. I want to do a short film (10 min. to 30 min.) in it. Preferably horror, but I'm not picky. I have the resource of actors from the ages of 14-18. Most shooting would be inside, unless at night. Any ideas to start me off? I am completely lost. I want to make a film here so bad, but can't think of a thing.
Heres what it looks like:
Unfurnished, abandoned. The kitchen's floor is completely torn out, revealing about a foot to the dirt ground of under the house. Most of the windows are broken. the bathroom is filthy and small, but super classy. The washroom is creepy. Two small downstairs bedrooms, both with closets. The upstairs has a small bedroom and a master with a creepy, tiny door in the corner that leads to the attic, both have closets. The upstairs also has a creepy, attic-like room. Dark, unstable, probably don't want to use it much. Holes on the walls all the way up the stairs.

Here's my idea, the biggest problem is the ages of the characters (but since there are only three characters you might be able to work around this)
Rich, Wall St. type white male is driving down a deserted country road after visiting his dying mother. His business is being investigated, he's facing criminal charges, and he's on the phone trying to straighten things out while racing back to civilization as fast as his sports car will go. Of course, cell phones and driving do not mix, he loses control and totals the car and his phone. With no way to contact help, one leg broken, and an approaching thunderstorm he spies an abandoned farm house. Dragging himself inside, he collapses on the floor.
Later that night, as the rain has picked up to near tornado force, a wet, obviously homeless African American stumbles into the farmhouse. The two start conversing; however, the Wall St. guy is obviously terrified.
The black homeless guy is perceptive enough to notice this and, in a manner reminiscent of the whisky priest's encounter with the mestizo in Graham Greene's _The Power and the Glory_, he calls the richer man out on his discomfort.
At the same time, the homeless guy begins to recognize the white guy; the corporate embezzlement case has been big news for a while, and the white guy has had his picture in the paper. Vaguely aware of the hypocrisy of a white collar thief's prejudice and fear of a potential thief, the white guy gets more and more upset; afraid that the black guy will connect his face to the embezzlement story.
As this is going on, it gets later and later and it becomes apparent that the white guy does not plan on going to sleep before the black guy. The black guy, in his menacingly open style, points this out. Left with little choice, the white guy goes to sleep.
Much later that night, he is woken up. Panicked, he pretends to be asleep and looks around. Between flashes of lightning, he notices the black guy approaching him slowly. Fearing imminent death, he catches a glimpse of salvation lying at his side in the form of a rusty crowbar. When the black guy enters striking distance, the white guy attacks him with the crowbar and smashes his head in.
He tries to sleep, but the presence of the body distracts him. while trying to remove the body, a notepad and cellphone fall out of the pockets. Using the light from a flashlight he found in his car trunk, he reads the notes, and discovers that the black man was in fact a journalist/author investigating life as a homeless man in rural America. Next, he checks the phone and discovers that the last call made was 911. It is now almost dawn and, hobbling outside, he is confronted by a sheriff. Last line is "we got your call last night... would have come out here sooner but the storm washed out half the road..."
