Bedroom design ideas?

Nikki

I'm designing my little sisters bedroom. She's ten years old. She can be either a total tom boy to a little princess so boy/girl things work. It's "jungle or safari" theme. I can't really find anything I like. I'm looking for wall murals, wall decals, things hanging from the ceiling, tree fort. Any type of ideas, things to buy, make. No budget. Please help (:

Siblings sharing a bedroom?

Sherry

We have a 3 bedroom house and an 8.5 year old daughter. We are strongly considering moving toward adopting a child a few years younger than our daughter after the new year.

The problem is that the rooms are very different in size. The bedroom my daughter is currently using is quite large, while the other bedroom is very small. I'm having trouble with the idea that a kid we adopt will have such a small room when compared with his/her sister. I don't want the kid thinking (s)he is less important than the one we already have.

Our solution is to buy bunk beds and have them share the larger room. In addition to solving the bedroom size problem, this will encourage them to develop a stronger sibling bond. Anyway, this idea works fine if we decide to adopt another girl. But what about a boy? How old is too old for a brother and sister to share a bedroom? If we do go ahead and have opposite genders share a room now, what possible solutions could we implement later on?

Answer
About 10-12 is the age when boys and girls are separated so there are a few years. My children shared a room until he was 12 (6th grade) due to lack of space. They were both fine with it. I wouldn't do it beyond that though. They tend to want privacy after age 12.

I would just separate them now. If the adopted child is young (under 6), it wouldn't conceive a difference in room size. A room is a room to a young child but the toys & family are what is a big deal.

If the child is older, you can concentrate on making the room special for him or her by designing it with the child rather then design it before the child arrives.

If you want your daughter to have that too, do it before the new child arrives. You want it to be unique experience to the new child to make a difference.

As long as you make the child feel equal to your other child through love and respect, material things like room size won't matter much to them. It's only if the child feels less of value to your other one that he/she will see the room size as counting for less given. That's also the major cause of sibling rivalry (when one feels less loved and respected or inferior to the other). Children care more about love and acceptance.

Help!!! Teenage girl and boy have to share a room. How to design it?

Dragonfly

I am a teenage girl and have to share a bedroom with my brother. I hate it, but our family just can't afford a big house with separate rooms. I am wanting to redo the room. Any ideas for designing / decorating it to make it a livable, pleasant space for both of us for at least a few years until I am 18 and leave for college? Also, the room is really small, so there isn't room to divide it in half. And, we have bunkbeds.
Yeah, i kind of post stuff several times to get responses :) OH MY GOD THANK U SO MUCH!!!! That looks amazing. You're really good. I'd love to do something like that. I'm going to show it to my parents and work something out. THAT IS GREAT! Thank u :)
Oh and also my brother thinks its awesome. I'm pretty sure we're going to buy those bedsets and some of the other stuff, as much as we can without spending an enormous amount of money. :))))

I'm in 9th grade and the first party I threw was in my basement, it was wicked awesome. It's partially unfinished, so I just threw up a table, hung some Christmas/Halloween lights, switched out a few light bulbs with colored lights, and put down a small stereo, we had a great time. It doesn't take much decorating, you know?

Help designing bedroom...?!?

I'm a teenage girl and sadly have to share a room. I'm a bit of a tomboy, and I enjoy darker colors. My comforter is navy blue. I LOVE posters, (guitars, fall out boy, patd, etc.) and I don't have very much space to decorate. My sister is several years younger than me and is a soccer FREAK! I don't want anything soccer or matching. Can anyone find a website planner, or come up with some ideas to help me?

Thank you SO much, I appreciate it! ^.^

What would be your dream kids and family?

bedroom designs for girls and boys image

�

Please include kids names, where you would live, what kind of house, description of kids, your husband, family vacations, and pets. Pictures would be great too! This is just for fun, I want to hear what your dream kids and family would be like. 10 points to best answer! Thanks â¥

Answer
My house would be something small, but cosy. There would be enough room for me, my husband, the kids and pets. 4 bedrooms, big garden, double garage and en-suite bathrooms.
http://img.findaproperty.com/townchoice/Northampton/p15558685.jpg

I would marry my husband in a small reception, with not many people. We would marry in a hotel, as neither of us are religious. There will only be a few close friends and family as guests, and we wouldn't have an evening reception.
My dress would be white with small detailing around the waist and chest area.
Dress: http://www.thebridalwearcompany.co.uk/media/products/main/Blanche-front.jpg

My husband would be a caring and compassionate guy that would always be there for the kids and me. He would have a job as a manager in large business, something involving computers and electronics.

My job would be a detective for the county's police station.

I would have 4 children, 3 boys and a girl.

My first born would be a son, named Oliver Samuel. He looks like his mum, and has her brown hair and blue eyes. He has an analytical mind and loves solving problems. He was always good at maths and science, and went on to become a chemist making medicines in a lab. He marries his childhood best friend, Alison and they have two children together: Joseph Oliver and Charlotte Alison.
http://www.alivenotdead.com/attachments/2007/06/31245_200706181350511.thumb.jpg (11 years old)

My second born would be another boy, who I would name Lucas Anthony. He has blonde hair and green eyes, and doesn't look like either of his parents. He's a very creative boy and excelled in art and design at school. He became an art teacher and married a girl he met at college, Samantha. They only had one child, Matilda Rae but adopted a little girl from China, Li Mei.
http://www.southportforums.com/forums/pics7/ots/z491.jpg (9 years old)

My third child would be yet another boy, who would be named Mitchell Joseph. He goes by Mitch, and was a popular child. He was outgoing, but sensible. He has brown hair and blue eyes, and looks like his older brother, Oliver. He becomes a private music teacher and teaches mainly guitar and drums to school children. He marries a girl he met at a cafe once, named Laura, and they have three sons; Thomas James, Nathaniel Connor and Finley Matthew.
http://www.andrearubash.com/POTN/20080614-IMG_7161%20full.jpg (5 years old)

My last would be a little girl named Emily Katherine. She has brown hair and hazel eyes, and looks a lot like her mum. She loves animals, and has a gift with them. Her best friend is Alex, who she met at playgroup, when she was 3. They marry eachother in the future, and have two daughters; Caroline Rosalie and Cecilia Jane. She is a vet and is well-known across the town for her kindness and gift with animals.

I have two cats, Tommy and Benji. They are brothers and we got them from my brother, who breeds them. Emily loves Tommy and she always plays with him. Benji is a shy cat, and likes to play with Oliver.

All my children and grandchildren:
Ollie, Luke, Mitch and Emily
Joe, Lottie, Tilly, Li, Tom, Nate, Finn, Callie and Celia.

Do they expect the celibate rule on catholic priests to be indefinite?

Glu

Because I don't really see any celibate priests or the myth of perfection through celibacy being mistaken for a "rational" choice anytime soon. At this rate I can bet you the Vatican itself will be "pro-gay" in 50 years, given that the Pope itself is always caucasian, and that by 2062 it will NOT be a harsh social reactionary as we understand one now.

Answer
As long as they stop child abuse... and it is not just boys ... girls get done over also and Nuns also abuse girls in their charge and the children even do it to the children.
I need to agree here ... I have been celibate myself before and I did it for a couple of years straight ... so it is not just an automatic link.
I don't think the churches will last that long but whatever happens ... lets just hope that they respect the kids and the adults and we all just get along.
I love all religions in their deep respect for a belief and their art and their lovely old buildings with such rich and colorful designs and feel that we as humans better forgive.
I forgive the Catlickers for what they did to me as a child and they were the only humans who ever cut my hair when I was a little girl ...so...they never meant to hurt me so deeply.
I hope everybody is not gay or we as the humans can't make kids ... but they still have a choice and it is not my business if they are or what they do in the bedroom.
Lets just hope peace rules???
I was born in 1962 ... so if I make it to 100 ... I will be very lucky indeed.

What exactly Abstinence-only Education for girls does it make any difference?

bedroom designs for girls and boys image

pat m

What exactly is it trying to teach? A moral of the story?

Answer
Teaching "abstinence only" is in principle the same whether it is to girls or to boys, except that some tweaks here and there need to be made to accommodate for the genders' psychological differences. Basically, boys give love to get sex, while girls give sex to get love. Girls want to be loved and understood, while boys want to be respected and trusted. And so the teachings should adjust accordingly to the genders' persepectives.

"What it teaches", and "the moral of the story", though, is more complex. I think teaching abstinence in a culture that doesn't support the practice is almost pointless, because there are issues that are much bigger than "don't have sex outside the bounds of a faithful monogamous relationship". Sex ed is not designed to address those issues.

In order for abstinence to work for someone, he or she needs to: (1) have an inherent value system that puts abstinence high on someone's moral priority, and (2) be part of a community that supports that value system and will keep him or her accountable for it. Otherwise, abstinence can't work because it's simply counter to human nature.

(1) For most people, this is has to do with coming from a family that practices and advocates abstinence, and discourages sexual activity in unmarried family members. They typically grew up being taught that sex is meant to be saved for a faithful monogamous relationship with a long term love partner; and thus they also acquire a different understanding of love, romantic relationship, and family compared to other people who don't believe in abstinence. It's that complex value system and its various components in function that enables one to make the supposedly impossible commitment of abstinence.

Some other people can also acquire this change of value system later in life. But that doesn't happen without some serious life reprogramming and a lot of sacrifice.

(2) In the West today, most of society don't support the value system needed in order to make abstinence work. The norm is, "If it feels good and hurts no one, then do it."

In the Orient, however, abstinence is still greatly valued. I live in Southeast Asia, and even in big cities it is still common for educational institutions and NGO's to advocate abstinence instead of "safe sex" (although the latter is encouraged in the specific context of marriage). Extramarital sexual activities that are commonly tolerated in the West (e.g. cohabitation, sleeping with one's boyfriend or girlfriend, or losing one's virginity during one's teenhood) is typically frowned upon, and could mean losing favor with society.

Having said that, this does not mean that abstinence can't work in the West, or always works in the East. I've spent half my life living in the West, including half my teenhood and my early twenties, and I made it. Likewise, I also know a number of friends who have never left this part of the world, but have slept with a number of people since their teenhood and don't feel an inch of guilt about it. I come from the Southeast Asian country with the highest annual rate of abortions and a thriving prostitution industry, despite these being illegal here.

In the West, extra effort may need to be made to become part of a community that supports abstinence. Joining a single men or single women's mentorship group at a church is one example.

In both the East and the West, lifestyle changes need to be adopted for abstinence to work out. For instance, if you don't want to end up going all the way each time you're seeing someone new, you may want to start off by not making a habit of seeing someone new each time you fancy them, but rather keep some distance for awhile to observe that person as a friend. And if you do decide to see them, you're there to commit. You keep your clothes on, away from the bedroom, and keep your physical relationship to no more than holding hands and hugs, lest anything beyond that makes sex too difficult to avoid. You don't look up porn or any other material that would otherwise arouse your desires. You don't live with or stay overnight at your partner's, and you don't let your partners bed down at yours either.

How will you educate your children?

Fabian Sch

What do you plan for your child? Do you have any plans? Will you let them do sports early? What about languages? What gender do you hope your child to be of? What will you do different if you get a boy / a girl? Have you learned from your own childhood and youth? What? Did you have any children yet and did you learn from this experience?
OK these are many questions, simply answer whatever gets into your mind, I consider this a brainstorming.

I'm still 14 years old so don't wonder whether I'm planning to have a child :P

Answer
To be honest I haven't really thought about it, having children isn't exactly top of my priorities list at the moment.

- Ideally I think I'd like two boys and a girl, with my son being the eldest.

- I will teach my children to be bilingual. My Grandmother is French but for some reason my father never taught me the language when I was younger, so I've had to learn it along the way (and still am) I'll make sure my children speak it as fluently as English. If I pick up any more languages before they arrive on the scene I'll teach them that as well.

- My family is quite musical and artistic (I started to play the piano when I was 2) so I'd like to introduce them to it at an early age just to see if they have an interest and/or talent for it and to develop it if they want to.

- I'll make sure that my children take to water like a fish. I grew up over-looking the sea from my bedroom window and spent countless hours in the water. Whether or not I raise my own children by the sea I'll at least make sure they know how to swim and can visit their local pool frequently.

- I'll gradually teach them to take hard work in their stride.

- Sports? I'd like them to be active and if they take an interest in a particular sport I'll encourage it but I'm not going to force them to participate. Just as long as they don't sit around all day I'll be content.

- I'll encourage a love of learning.

- I'll teach all of them to be able to hold themselves in a fight and to be independent. I was always "one of the guys" growing up and being able to rough it was a requirement. There was one child in our area who would fuss over every little thing from not getting his way, being denied a toy to cutting his knee and often stormed off with the phrase "I'm telling" he was not very popular and I wouldn't want my children to get the idea that they need to run to mummy and daddy for everything. I'd make sure they knew they could come to me, but to try and fend for themselves as well.

- As for school. I'm really not sure. I'm leaning towards a private school rather than a public one (if I can afford it) you learn more life lessons in a public school but I've also seen how it can destroy people and hold them back from their true potential. My cousin went completely off the rails in public school because of stress and peer pressure, my other cousin excelled in every way. I only attended public school for a few years but in the end I was home tutored as I was always moving around with my family, I did miss being with my peers. Being home tutored you can learn at your own pace and depth, you don't get the social benefits, but you do tend to have a richer depth of knowledge (so long as your serious in your studies) with public school you get the social benefits of interacting with peers and learning to grow emotionally, but you can only go as far in your studies as the school allows and the school allows a very narrow margin designed to fit the "average student" you're held back if you're above it and you're left to struggle if you're below it. Private school seems to be the middle ground.
The other option being a Grammar School.

- I'll encourage them to be extroverts.

- I'll teach them to be respectful, especially to elders.

What are some lesser known facts about the Victorian days?

bedroom designs for girls and boys image

Daisy L

I have to write a book taken place in the Victorian days for school. What are some lesser known facts about the Victorian days that could hep me write the book better? I have Victorian names picked out, and the facts can be about girls, boys, adults, anything really. One is a royalty. Did they have royalty in the Victorian days? I really don't know. Thanks :)

Answer
Justins right.
Clothing sometimes consisted what is now called Baby Doll Gothic
And Baby Doll Angel clothes.
Women used only corsets, yep no bras. A strip of linen that was disposed after two weeks was worn instead of underwear.
Baths were taken once a week and sometimes in small tubs or public washrooms.

When a woman entered a room, it was considered rude for a man to offer his seat to her because the cushion might still be warm.

People thought food digested better in the dark, so a dining room located in the basement was considered the best spot in which to eat.

A glance into a bedroom was considered improper if viewed by a visitor, so bedrooms were located on the second floor.

People were shy about having water closets, so they disguised fixtures as dressers and cabinets. Tubs were enclosed in wooden boxes that resembled large chests. People went to great lengths to hide toilets from view. In some homes, they were behind a curtain or screen, or even in a room of their own.

Children rarely saw their parents. A special trip was made to the nursery each evening, and the visit lasted about an hour.

Women made pictures, wreaths, and bouquets from their own hair or the hair of a family member to be framed and displayed in the parlor.

Some rocking chairs were designed to disguise a chamber pot. People had to be careful not to rock too quickly!

A lot of men used macassar oil to slick back their hair. Crocheted doilies, called antimacassars, were put over the backs of chairs to keep this grease from staining the furniture.

For a lady to show her ankles was considered very risque!

To control insects, many people kept a HEDGEHOG in the basement. It curled up and slept in the day, but roamed around the dark kitchen at night eating cockroaches and other insects.

Some ladies suffered with facial hair,or "Bad Hair Days" or hated darning.

We are happy to tell you that it is now illegal for a husband to strike or beat his wife. His right of "moderate correction" was first questioned in the time of Charles the Second, and is now indefensible. A wife has the right to the custody of her child up to seven years of age. The personal property of a wife passes to her husband absolutely on her marriage, but her real (i.e.freehold) property can only be alienated by him during her life with her consent

In Victorian times, darning stockings was a task ladies undertook - time consuming and laborious.

Can you help me with ideas for my childrens bedroom?

Jazzy

I have 2 girls. 1 and 3. My 1 year old is almost 2 but very advanced for her age. She speaks very clearly. My 3 year old will be 4 july4th. The theme is dora & puppies. What kind of beds should I use? Twin over full bunkbed? my 3 yr old is tall she looks and talks like a 5 yr old.. So she'll be needing something like a twin? Bit will that look right?? Any ideas?

Answer
I would get twin beds or if the room is big enough full size beds or twin boards that can convert to full. Girls, unlike boys, tend to tire of the whole bunk bed idea quick.

What are some lesser known facts about the Victorian days?

I have to write a book taken place in the Victorian days for school. What are some lesser known facts about the Victorian days that could hep me write the book better? I have Victorian names picked out, and the facts can be about girls, boys, adults, anything really. One is a royalty. Did they have royalty in the Victorian days? I really don't know. Thanks :)

Answer
Justins right.
Clothing sometimes consisted what is now called Baby Doll Gothic
And Baby Doll Angel clothes.
Women used only corsets, yep no bras. A strip of linen that was disposed after two weeks was worn instead of underwear.
Baths were taken once a week and sometimes in small tubs or public washrooms.

When a woman entered a room, it was considered rude for a man to offer his seat to her because the cushion might still be warm.

People thought food digested better in the dark, so a dining room located in the basement was considered the best spot in which to eat.

A glance into a bedroom was considered improper if viewed by a visitor, so bedrooms were located on the second floor.

People were shy about having water closets, so they disguised fixtures as dressers and cabinets. Tubs were enclosed in wooden boxes that resembled large chests. People went to great lengths to hide toilets from view. In some homes, they were behind a curtain or screen, or even in a room of their own.

Children rarely saw their parents. A special trip was made to the nursery each evening, and the visit lasted about an hour.

Women made pictures, wreaths, and bouquets from their own hair or the hair of a family member to be framed and displayed in the parlor.

Some rocking chairs were designed to disguise a chamber pot. People had to be careful not to rock too quickly!

A lot of men used macassar oil to slick back their hair. Crocheted doilies, called antimacassars, were put over the backs of chairs to keep this grease from staining the furniture.

For a lady to show her ankles was considered very risque!

To control insects, many people kept a HEDGEHOG in the basement. It curled up and slept in the day, but roamed around the dark kitchen at night eating cockroaches and other insects.

Some ladies suffered with facial hair,or "Bad Hair Days" or hated darning.

We are happy to tell you that it is now illegal for a husband to strike or beat his wife. His right of "moderate correction" was first questioned in the time of Charles the Second, and is now indefensible. A wife has the right to the custody of her child up to seven years of age. The personal property of a wife passes to her husband absolutely on her marriage, but her real (i.e.freehold) property can only be alienated by him during her life with her consent

In Victorian times, darning stockings was a task ladies undertook - time consuming and laborious.

I have 2 girls. 1 and 3. My 1 year old is almost 2 but very advanced for her age. She speaks very clearly. My 3 year old will be 4 july4th. The theme is dora & puppies. What kind of beds should I use? Twin over full bunkbed? my 3 yr old is tall she looks and talks like a 5 yr old.. So she'll be needing something like a twin? Bit will that look right?? Any ideas?

Answer
I would get twin beds or if the room is big enough full size beds or twin boards that can convert to full. Girls, unlike boys, tend to tire of the whole bunk bed idea quick.

Also, I might be biased because I now have 3 girls and 2 boys and buying bedroom furniture over and over isn't part of the plan or budget..lol I use bedding to kiddie up their rooms.

Using your theme, I would go for something like this where the bedding isn't exactly the same for their beds, but coordinated (scroll to the pink set).
