im a 13 turning 14 year old girl and i really need some bedroom designs. this is the first time i actually get to design my own room so i want to make it nice. my fav colors are red, white and black but since my room is in the basement i don't get any natural light and my mom thinks that those colors will be to dark(especially because my room is getting dark hardwood floors)...she wants me to have a neutral color in my room but i don't want my room to say "adult". if you have any cute AND neutral ideas that say teen and young adult, please go wild with whatever ideas you have. btw, i don't NEED my room colors to be red, white and black, those were just my first designs. make sure that the colors will go with dark hardwood floors though please. the best ideas will be chosen as winner. thanks to every one
Answer
You definitely need a light neutral earth tone, something in the cool blues or greens to reflect and bounce the lighting in your room, perfect with the red, black and white.
such as a light turquoise

Then pick out a bed in a bag, rug, wall decor/mirror, lighting, accents and accessories.
for ex.

Young adult novel about a young jewish girl?
I am looking for a book I read in 5th grade, this would have been 1998. Iin the book the girl is coming of age,jewish, tries catholicsm, writes i love and i hate lists, has a cat, brunette girl on cover with a mess around her. Has glasses also. This is all I can remember, so any help is appreciated. Title or author.
Answer
I was quite small, perhaps eight, when it occurred to me how deeply I disliked the other children. I mean, it wasnât as if I had wanted them dead or anything; it just didnât seem as though we had much to say to one another. Iâm sure that murdering fireflies and smearing the glowing intestines in a lurid streak across the grass with oneâs shoe has its own rewards, but none that compare to an evening spent indoors, memorizing the recitative to an obscure Gilbert and Sullivan operetta and congratulating oneself on oneâs own superiority.
Peering out my bedroom window with bemused disdain at the local gang of young ruffians, vulgar Philistines who had probably never heard of Derek Jacobi, as they pelted one another with water balloons or gleefully terrorized some delicate future interior decorator, I invented games of my own. Solitary, secretive games, tailored especially to my peculiar fixations. For example:
WHAT TO PACK WHEN FLEEING FROM THE NAZIS
Food, of course: Ziploc bags of Cheerios and Skittles, apple juice boxes, and cans of Diet Coke from the pantry. Family photographs â Iâd want images of my annihilated relatives to occupy a place of honor at Yad Vashem. A few suitably depressing items of clothing and, finally, books. The books were the most important. Even the an activity as challenging as fleeing the Gestapo was bound to include some downtime, and the titles I packed were chock-full of helpful hints, sure to help me out of any jam or rat-infested crawlspace under an abandoned Warsaw building where I and three others lay hidden, eating rotten potato peels and creeping in the dead of the night to relieve ourselves in the frozen sewers.
I speak, of course, of the genre known as Young Adult Holocaust literature, a body of work specifically designed to remind Jewish children that no matter how safe they might feel, there will always be those who wish to destroy them. As on perspicacious young reader observed in his âKidâs Reviewâ (in the name of research, I browsed a few such tomes on Amazon recently): âWould you want to be a jew when you are getting ready to be killed by the germans I wouldnât.â
