Need ideas--Redecorating room for 4 yo boy/girl twins!?

treefor3

I'm looking for creative ideas for redecorating my 4 year old boy/girl twins' bedroom. They've outgrown their toddler beds and the babyish nursery decor. We're planning to get them bunk beds and I'd like to update the room. My boy is all "boy"--trucks and cars and the like--and my girl is all "girl"--pink and princesses and ponies. They do share a common love of animals, so I was thinking of doing some sort of animal theme. Any suggestions?

Ideas for a toddler's bedroom?

HOLLISTER

My 3 and 6 year olds share a bedroom, and i earned a little bit of money so I decided to redo their rooms. does anyone have any ideas on what toys to buy? or furniture? Thanks
They are both boys and love boats

Answer
Are they boys? Girls? What are their interests?

I would paint one wall with 2 sail boats and some waves....let them paint some fish...or put up those sticky picutes of fish in the water.

Even if you are not artisitic you could draw a sail boat. Draw it in pensil first then fill it in with colorful paint.

Find some simple or solid comforters, sew some pillows with boat print for decoration and maybe have them color some pictures of a boat and frame them on the walls for decoration as well

Here's an example of an easy sailboat you should be able to draw....

Can anyone recommend some good baby/toddler magazines?

Q. Magazines that have cute girl clothes,toys,room decorations and furniture. Any magazines with a fairy or princess theme for toddler bedrooms. Thanks in advance :)

Answer
Pottery Barn Baby and or Pottery Barn Kids have very cute decor for her room. Toys R Us has a lot of toys and lots of toddler girls like Care Bears and Corolle Dolls. Baby Gap makes very cute clothes, as does Jamboree. Also your local target sells lots of very cute little girl clothes.

Nursery/Room Decor for boy & girl...?

Q. I'm getting more and more excited as my pregnancy continues. I know I'm only 8-9 weeks, but I'm going to have so much to do before the new baby gets here.

My husband, daughter, and I live in a two bedroom house. My husband and I have a room, and my daughter is in the other. Right now her room is a cream color on top and a honey color wood from mid wall to floor. Her room is decorated in a pink, purple, and green ladybug and flowers theme. All of her furniture is honey colored wood.

She and the new baby will have to share this room. I will eventually be moving her to a toddler bed and have the crib for the new baby. (I plan to put the new baby in a bassinet in my room to begin with).

If this baby is a girl, then I will have no problems in decorating. Just more pink will be fine. But what if its a boy? Any ideas on decor for a shared room for a boy and girl.

I was thinking maybe a farm theme? Maybe give her cow print bedding or something with a little pink, and can use the farm for a boy?

Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Building on is not an option right now, but may be later...

Answer
The farm thing sounds cute - anything animal related, forest, rain forest, frogs etc . . . is good for a co-ed room.

I have boy/girl twins in the same room. We have Winnie-the-Pooh - my daughter's stuff is classic Pooh and my son has the Disney Pooh. The walls are a bluish-purple and they have medium-brown wood furniture.

Congrats!

What theme is your baby or toddlers nursery/ room?

My 18 month old son has had his nursery decorated with the Thomas the Tank Engine theme, with the Thomas border, cut outs, lamp, night light, light switch cover, Thomas rug, and now that he can climb out of his crib we have to upgrade his nursery into a big boy room complete with the Thomas the Train toddler bed.

Also I am 16 weeks pregnant, but not knowing whether we will be having a boy or girl I am not sure what my baby's nursery decor will be. I think that if I have a girl I might do Tinkerbell, or better yet Disney princess's. If we have another boy I don't know what theme I will go with yet.

With my now 8 year old son, when he was a baby I painted his ceiling with clouds, and painted the walls yellow half way up with a sun, moon, stars border and the top half was blue. I also had stars, suns, and moons cut out from extra border and stuck them to the top of the walls and had glow in the dark stars on the roof. So when it was light it was daytime with the clouds and in the dark it was night with the stars. Also had a dresser and lamp that matched and the lamp rotated clouds on the walls.

I am just wondering what theme all of you answerer parents have chosen for your little ones.

Answer
We can't decorate in the place we're living right now, but when my son was younger, we got In The Night Garden wall stickers that peel off, so we made a little scene with them. Then, we got dinosaurs when he went through a dinosaur craze.
When we move to our permanent home, he'll be about 2 and a half, and he's getting a Toy Story themed bedroom. Glow in the dark boarder, curtains, a rug, bed spread, everything, he'll be so excited.

I apologize if it is too long, please read as much as you can. I really appreciate it. This is, hopefully, the beginning of my first chapter of my novel entitled 'Papercuts'. Briefly, it is about a girl disenchanted with reality after having an incident in her childhood involving a man from another world. It goes so much deeper than this but there is only so much I get tell you in this short space. Thank you for reading! See 'extra details' for this extract continued.

No windows were open, and the breeze pushed back the door to her bedroom. The last of Summer lingered in the room, a pleasant phantom to the girl on the bed. A shade of apricot spilled over the carpet and dug into the crop circles made by a dragged out chair and hardened coke stains sinking into the floor. It was the juices of a late, chilly Summer day, being squeezed from the lowering sun for what was left of it and bleeding it dry. It was a final plea for the girl to get up and call an ambulance, to see the day that she had given away. Her back was warm as it lay directly under the window, the jumper she wore ridden up so that most of her lower back was exposed. Her fingers stretched towards the bedside table, slipping out of the bubble of warmth she was in and dipping into the shadow cast by the curtain above it. As she lay on the bed, inhaling and exhaling quietly, she mourned. By now, everyone had slipped out of their summer skins and thrown them across the backs of chairs. Soon, they would blend in to the rest of the room and its décor, along with school uniforms and skinny jeans. The electric hum of a TV left on standby weighted down the air as she waited. Her converse were tucked neatly to the bottom right hand side of her bed. Sand hid inside them, as did a folded piece of paper in the left shoe, with a heart drawn in the corner and filled in by a black marker pen that still had its heady scent. It didn't feel like she was dying. It felt like she was waiting for someone to come and save her.
A ghostly chuckle erupted in the room, making her sleepy eyes widen.

“Aero? Aero...”
The bus juddered, bringing Aerosol back into the present. Sitting where the shopping bags of passengers ought to go, she stared blankly ahead of her at all the packed seats and people standing in the isle. Looking back at Aerosol just as mindlessly was a small girl with chopped ginger hair and freckles poured over her nose and upper cheeks. Her mother ushered her away out of discomfort, pulling her into the gap behind herself and in front of the next person.
“Do I look like a predator to you?” Aerosol blurted out, making the mother's mouth pop open in surprise. Secondary school kids chortled at the back of the bus but Aerosol didn't bother to suck in the words that came out of her mouth. She'd never see these people again. “Well I don't”
“Aero!”
“What?” she snapped back over her shoulder, turning to face Lavina who was sitting on the front seat of the bus, who's seat Aerosol had her back pressed against.
“You sound like a creep right now, and this bus literally has Child-line advertised on the walls”
“I am a creep” replied Aerosol. “But it's not like I get off at toddlers”
“Oh my god” exclaimed Lavina, before mouthing a dragged out 'stop'. Aerosol giggled and covered her mouth with her sleeves, feeling the embarrassment of her words more from her friend's reaction rather than her feeling it herself.
“Sorry” she told the mother, her voice muffled by her jumper. “I'm really not a creep. I'm just misunderstood”
“More like misdiagnosed” Lavina muttered.
“Oi!”
The rest of the bus ride was relevantly silent until she and Lavina got off at their stop opposite the sixth form.
“You really don't get embarrassed easily, do you?” said Lavina as they walked. “Being out with you in public is starting to get more and more dangerous”
Aerosol hooked her thumbs under the straps of her backpack and dipped her head back as she pouted.
“Aw. You still love me though, right?”
Lavina didn't give her friend a reply.
“Well” Aerosol gasped, feigning insult. Lavina smiled and shook her head.
“Did you do anything interesting whilst I was away, then? You know, download any new music, commit any murders...”
“No” she laughed at the last suggestion. “It was all pretty-”
“Lush braces, Pet” snickered a girl as she passed in the opposite direction. Aerosol and Lavina stood still and looked back. The girl's friend, wearing track-pants and a hood, started walking backwards as she grinned in alpha pride and then touched her eyes.
“Should have gone to Specsavers”
They turned away and met in a choir of chuckles, obviously pleased with themselves. Aerosol frowned at them as they sat down at the bus stop and looked at her for a reaction.
Widening her eyes, Aerosol coughed.
“Yes” she said. “Because I really appreciate your opinion on my dental status and where the fuck I get my glasses from...wise, orange faced strangers” she bowed in mock worship, placing her hands together, before turning her back on them and facing Lavina. “So it was all pretty much mundane” she began walking, Lavina following soon after with a goofy smile on her face. “I swear, it made me want to kill myself”
“So dramatic” te

Toddler bedroom decor...?

bedroom decor for toddler girls image

Nanabanana

My daughter just moved to a "big girl" bed and so I went out and bought her a new bedspread and all white furniture. The comforter is bright pink, lime green, purple, orange and teal. I am trying to decide what color to paint the walls. I was thinking of doing a lighter green (like lime but lighter) and then doing a bright pink stripe around the room, or else painting the room a light teal with a purple stripe...does that sounds too "grown up" for a 2 year old? I want it to be a room she can grow into but I don't want the colors/design to be too much for her. What do you think? Any other cute decorating ideas? I hate just one color walls so I'm trying to use two colors to decorate...Thanks!

Answer
I think a soft lime green with a medium pink strip would be adorable! I don't think it would be too grown-up. It should serve her well into preteens, at least! Another idea for longevity in a kid's bedroom: paint the walls a solid color and then decorate them with the peel and stick "Wallies" or other precut images that can be adhered to the wall temporarily. You could put some flowers or butterflies on the wall now, and then when she gets older and wants something different, you could put polka dots or something geometric like that. Good luck!

Okay need some ideas here. Working with a 13 months old's room baby girl, don't want to do it in any characters. Want it to be somewhat modern, working with a medium blue rug (kind of light, not baby blue though) What colors and decor should I do, pictures and ideas would be great. Her walls are white and cannot be painted. Thanks so much. Her name is Jade.

I also would like some ideas for my room, I have the same color room and rug, no painting allowed, and a dark brown wood bed frame. Share with my boyfriend, I need comforter ideas and oragnizing ideas for my room, my clothes are EVERYWHERE!! i also have a lot of hair/beauty products, I cant keep it all together. Help me please.

Answer
How about blues and brown. Hot colors right now. The blue is a medium. Do you have a Bed Bath & Beyond Store near you? They have rooms set up with color schemes. Great place to get ideas. Stick with neuturals for backgrounds in both rooms. Add color with accents, easier to change later.

Find crib bedding with your colors and add natural elements (shades, throw rug) and accents in the blues and browns (pillows, colors in the photos, chair cushion, throw for the bed). Photo frames all one color, say black with the same color mattings, say white. Go to the craft store - find wood letters J_A_D_E, and paint them black to match the frames on the wall, stand them on a black shelf or hang above the frame. If you want a splash of color add bean bag chair or wood rocker in a bright accent color with chair cushion in your blues and browns. You will be pleased.

Also, sites to check out for more inspiration:
bhg.com, choose rooms from size, color, style, you name it.
hgtv.com, many decorating shows with numerous ideas.
homemadesimple.com, do-it-yourselft, crafts, for you.

These are all great sites and FREE for your use.

Share with my boyfriend, I need comforter ideas and oragnizing ideas for my room, my clothes are EVERYWHERE!! i also have a lot of hair/beauty products, I cant keep it all together. Help me please.

Answer
How about blues and brown. Hot colors right now. The blue is a medium. Do you have a Bed Bath & Beyond Store near you? They have rooms set up with color schemes. Great place to get ideas. Stick with neuturals for backgrounds in both rooms. Add color with accents, easier to change later.

Find crib bedding with your colors and add natural elements (shades, throw rug) and accents in the blues and browns (pillows, colors in the photos, chair cushion, throw for the bed). Photo frames all one color, say black with the same color mattings, say white. Go to the craft store - find wood letters J_A_D_E, and paint them black to match the frames on the wall, stand them on a black shelf or hang above the frame. If you want a splash of color add bean bag chair or wood rocker in a bright accent color with chair cushion in your blues and browns. You will be pleased.

Nursery/Room Decor for boy & girl...?

Q. I'm getting more and more excited as my pregnancy continues. I know I'm only 8-9 weeks, but I'm going to have so much to do before the new baby gets here.

My husband, daughter, and I live in a two bedroom house. My husband and I have a room, and my daughter is in the other. Right now her room is a cream color on top and a honey color wood from mid wall to floor. Her room is decorated in a pink, purple, and green ladybug and flowers theme. All of her furniture is honey colored wood.

She and the new baby will have to share this room. I will eventually be moving her to a toddler bed and have the crib for the new baby. (I plan to put the new baby in a bassinet in my room to begin with).

If this baby is a girl, then I will have no problems in decorating. Just more pink will be fine. But what if its a boy? Any ideas on decor for a shared room for a boy and girl.

I was thinking maybe a farm theme? Maybe give her cow print bedding or something with a little pink, and can use the farm for a boy?

Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Building on is not an option right now, but may be later...

Answer
The farm thing sounds cute - anything animal related, forest, rain forest, frogs etc . . . is good for a co-ed room.

I have boy/girl twins in the same room. We have Winnie-the-Pooh - my daughter's stuff is classic Pooh and my son has the Disney Pooh. The walls are a bluish-purple and they have medium-brown wood furniture.

Congrats!

Toddler bedroom decor...?

My daughter just moved to a "big girl" bed and so I went out and bought her a new bedspread and all white furniture. The comforter is bright pink, lime green, purple, orange and teal. I am trying to decide what color to paint the walls. I was thinking of doing a lighter green (like lime but lighter) and then doing a bright pink stripe around the room, or else painting the room a light teal with a purple stripe...does that sounds too "grown up" for a 2 year old? I want it to be a room she can grow into but I don't want the colors/design to be too much for her. What do you think? Any other cute decorating ideas? I hate just one color walls so I'm trying to use two colors to decorate...Thanks!

Answer
I think a soft lime green with a medium pink strip would be adorable! I don't think it would be too grown-up. It should serve her well into preteens, at least! Another idea for longevity in a kid's bedroom: paint the walls a solid color and then decorate them with the peel and stick "Wallies" or other precut images that can be adhered to the wall temporarily. You could put some flowers or butterflies on the wall now, and then when she gets older and wants something different, you could put polka dots or something geometric like that. Good luck!

Does the beginning to my first chapter sound ok?

bedroom decor for toddler girls image

Jenna

I apologize if it is too long, please read as much as you can. I really appreciate it. This is, hopefully, the beginning of my first chapter of my novel entitled 'Papercuts'. Briefly, it is about a girl disenchanted with reality after having an incident in her childhood involving a man from another world. It goes so much deeper than this but there is only so much I get tell you in this short space. Thank you for reading! See 'extra details' for this extract continued.

No windows were open, and the breeze pushed back the door to her bedroom. The last of Summer lingered in the room, a pleasant phantom to the girl on the bed. A shade of apricot spilled over the carpet and dug into the crop circles made by a dragged out chair and hardened coke stains sinking into the floor. It was the juices of a late, chilly Summer day, being squeezed from the lowering sun for what was left of it and bleeding it dry. It was a final plea for the girl to get up and call an ambulance, to see the day that she had given away. Her back was warm as it lay directly under the window, the jumper she wore ridden up so that most of her lower back was exposed. Her fingers stretched towards the bedside table, slipping out of the bubble of warmth she was in and dipping into the shadow cast by the curtain above it. As she lay on the bed, inhaling and exhaling quietly, she mourned. By now, everyone had slipped out of their summer skins and thrown them across the backs of chairs. Soon, they would blend in to the rest of the room and its décor, along with school uniforms and skinny jeans. The electric hum of a TV left on standby weighted down the air as she waited. Her converse were tucked neatly to the bottom right hand side of her bed. Sand hid inside them, as did a folded piece of paper in the left shoe, with a heart drawn in the corner and filled in by a black marker pen that still had its heady scent. It didn't feel like she was dying. It felt like she was waiting for someone to come and save her.
A ghostly chuckle erupted in the room, making her sleepy eyes widen.

âAero? Aero...â
The bus juddered, bringing Aerosol back into the present. Sitting where the shopping bags of passengers ought to go, she stared blankly ahead of her at all the packed seats and people standing in the isle. Looking back at Aerosol just as mindlessly was a small girl with chopped ginger hair and freckles poured over her nose and upper cheeks. Her mother ushered her away out of discomfort, pulling her into the gap behind herself and in front of the next person.
âDo I look like a predator to you?â Aerosol blurted out, making the mother's mouth pop open in surprise. Secondary school kids chortled at the back of the bus but Aerosol didn't bother to suck in the words that came out of her mouth. She'd never see these people again. âWell I don'tâ
âAero!â
âWhat?â she snapped back over her shoulder, turning to face Lavina who was sitting on the front seat of the bus, who's seat Aerosol had her back pressed against.
âYou sound like a creep right now, and this bus literally has Child-line advertised on the wallsâ
âI am a creepâ replied Aerosol. âBut it's not like I get off at toddlersâ
âOh my godâ exclaimed Lavina, before mouthing a dragged out 'stop'. Aerosol giggled and covered her mouth with her sleeves, feeling the embarrassment of her words more from her friend's reaction rather than her feeling it herself.
âSorryâ she told the mother, her voice muffled by her jumper. âI'm really not a creep. I'm just misunderstoodâ
âMore like misdiagnosedâ Lavina muttered.
âOi!â
The rest of the bus ride was relevantly silent until she and Lavina got off at their stop opposite the sixth form.
âYou really don't get embarrassed easily, do you?â said Lavina as they walked. âBeing out with you in public is starting to get more and more dangerousâ
Aerosol hooked her thumbs under the straps of her backpack and dipped her head back as she pouted.
âAw. You still love me though, right?â
Lavina didn't give her friend a reply.
âWellâ Aerosol gasped, feigning insult. Lavina smiled and shook her head.
âDid you do anything interesting whilst I was away, then? You know, download any new music, commit any murders...â
âNoâ she laughed at the last suggestion. âIt was all pretty-â
âLush braces, Petâ snickered a girl as she passed in the opposite direction. Aerosol and Lavina stood still and looked back. The girl's friend, wearing track-pants and a hood, started walking backwards as she grinned in alpha pride and then touched her eyes.
âShould have gone to Specsaversâ
They turned away and met in a choir of chuckles, obviously pleased with themselves. Aerosol frowned at them as they sat down at the bus stop and looked at her for a reaction.
Widening her eyes, Aerosol coughed.
âYesâ she said. âBecause I really appreciate your opinion on my dental status and where the fuck I get my glasses from...wise, orange faced strangersâ she bowed in mock worship, placing her hands together, before turning her back on them and facing Lavina. âSo it was all pretty much mundaneâ she began walking, Lavina following soon after with a goofy smile on her face. âI swear, it made me want to kill myselfâ
âSo dramaticâ te

Need ideas--Redecorating room for 4 yo boy/girl twins!?

treefor3

I'm looking for creative ideas for redecorating my 4 year old boy/girl twins' bedroom. They've outgrown their toddler beds and the babyish nursery decor. We're planning to get them bunk beds and I'd like to update the room. My boy is all "boy"--trucks and cars and the like--and my girl is all "girl"--pink and princesses and ponies. They do share a common love of animals, so I was thinking of doing some sort of animal theme. Any suggestions?
