Gwyneth
I am redesigning my bedroom (I'm a 17 year old girl) and I started with the bed area. I designed two boards but I cannot decide which I like better? If you don't like either just don't answer, I'm just looking for opinions on the two designs I included (or additional ideas/color schemes), thanks!
Answer
The second one...I love the black & white houndstooth pillows w/the pink pillow cases.

You can make a cute accent pillow for your bed. Easy to sew with a needle and thread if you can't use a sewing machine.
Cut fabric 13x30"
Fold the fabric in half, in-side-out so the color/print is inside.
Sew 1/2" in, along the edge on the two long sides, leaving the short end open.
Turn pillow cover right-side-out so the color/print is on the outside.
Fill with batting or even with a sweater/shirt you don't wear anymore.
Then sew up the opening.
You can buy 1/2 yard (18x45") of super cute fabric at walmart for $3 in tons of different patterns/designs in the colors in you room.
