I'm a teen girl (16) and I'm kinda starting a princess theme in my room. And I don't want to end up looking like a six year olds room. What I mainly need help with is well... Okay I have a wall with a big mirror then I have a wal decor quote right above it that says "yes, you are the fairest of them all" have two glass squared shelves on either side of the mirror. I have yet to put anything inside yet because I can think or find something princess or fairy tale like to put in it that doesn't make it seem like a child's room. So what should i put in them to carry on my theme ? Thank you very much !

Be careful not to get too carried away with the theme, as with things that say 'princess' literally, that's where it gets little girlish. Instead, concentrate on how a fairytale princess room would look. Purple is a color of royalty, think dark purple bedding in a lush fabric like velour or a very soft microfiber, satiny drapes in dark purple, a large bejeweled mirror, a collection of small decorative mirrors all grouped together closely, crystal lamps and a crystal chandelier in place of your ceiling light, lots of satiny and velour/microfiber throw pillows on your bed in pink, a lacey 'canopy' over your bed, (it doesn't need to be a canopy bed, you can hng it like a swag from your ceiling, draping down the sides), a pink or ivory slipper chair, feather boa draped over something, and lots of sparkle. If purple isn't your favorite color,a wine color or burgandy would look royal as well. As for your square boxes, think bejeweled, a tiara, large diamond-like necklace, or other sparkly accessories. And what princess doesn't have a bejeweled jewelry box in her princess room? Add a lush area rug for your tootsies and your set. Pier 1 is a great place to find a lot of these things. Or get to a craft store and bejewel what you already have. Sounds wonderful.

Bedroom decor ideas?!?

So I want to re do my bedroom but there is a problem. I am almost 18 and I share a room with my 13 year old sister. We cant agree on anything! I want a more sophisticated room and she wants a young teen room. How can I incorporate what we both like to make a room that we would both love? She loves bright neon colors and I like calmer colors. She is a justin bieber freak and has posters of him everywhere! I dont like posters (i dont mind framed pictures i just dont like posters).
The comforter that im getting for christmas is this one: http://www.target.com/Home-8-pc-Bed-Set-Flocked/dp/B002OC742O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&searchView=list&keywords=home%208pc%20flocked%20floral%20brown%2Fblue&fromGsearch=true&sr=1-1&qid=1292473845&rh=&searchRank=target104545&id=Home%208-pc%20Bed%20Set%20Flocked&node=1038576%7C1287991011&searchSize=30&searchPage=1&searchNodeID=1038576%7C1287991011&searchBinNameList=subjectbin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&frombrowse=0
And I dont know which one she should get (any ideas?)
Please give me ideas. Thank you!

Shelbie,
If you're looking at the set that is black/white, it won't fly with your sister.
If it's the blue/grey embroidered set, good choice! It's lovely!(I hope this is THE ONE you're getting
Now you have to get sneaky.
Take your sis for lunch & a manicure. Let her know that you realize that she's growing up and becoming a lovely young woman.Her body is changing, boys will soon be appearing on the front porch, and her tastes in "heroes" will change, too. (You and I know that Justin is never going to call her.) Let her know that the 7th & 8th grades at school will be a very important time of her life, and getting on the "A" list of popularity will require some sophistication in her mannerisms, her attire, her hairstyles & make-up. And of course, in her personal environment. When she brings girl friends home, the cutesy pink & lime green are going to seem very babyish to her friends.
Your shared room needs to reflect her maturity and good taste to run with the "In Crowd"
Rent the Audrey Hepburn movie "My Fair Lady,". Watch it with little sis. Then visit www.allposters.com for the poster of Ms Hepburn from that movie It's in black& white where she is wearing the stunning dress and hat at the horse races. Promise to buy it for her ONLY after she removes the posters of Justin from the walls!
Maybe matching bedding would encourage her, maybe not, or take her to Target and hekp her find a more suitable set for herself that will coordinate with yours.
