i need a new bed. Preferably a double, because a twin is too small and a queen is too big. My room is yellow, with green curtians. It looks great, but all the beds i can find are black or brown. I want to know what kind of furniture to buy that wont look bad. I like white, it looks good in my room, but i cant seem to find white beds. The bed i want is whiteish sliver. will this look bad in my room?
btw: i dunno if this will help or not, but im 13. so nothing oldish

Hi xoxoxo,
Being that you have not been able to find what you want in white furniture have you thought of buying from a second hand store? You can paint it white yourself,. It is a great way to recycle and get what you want. You are right, at 13 you do not want anything to old for your age. And, over time your style is going to change. The white furniture pearlescent or plain finish white is going to look sensational with your chosen wall & curtain colors!
If you are shopping online Overstock,com or Ikea may have some bedding sets that you like.
Good Luck ~*~ Happy Decorating!

your thoughts on painting bedroom furniture white?
forever bl
Our bedroom furniture is old and tired looking but it is still in excellent condition and we still love the simplicity of it. it is natural pine and a very simple style. the bed is a queen size danish style with drawers for storage. the two side tables are small double drawer chests. the walls are a soft faded yellow ochre color, drapes and lamps are a gray/blue color. artwork in various shades of yellow ochre/gold/soft blues complements the walls and draperies/lamps quite nicely. the result is quite soothing and relaxing - we love the effect of the colors of the walls, artwork, lamps and drapes and aren't willing to change those.
so now i want to paint the furniture. a friend gave us a very old white iron wall hanging that we absolutely love. i am considering painting the furniture the same shade of white as the iron. its a very soft faded white and i would take it to the paint shop and have paint color-matched to it.
i love the look of painted furniture and am eager to get started but i would love to hear other thoughts on white or what other colors you all might think would work!
i'd appeciate your ideas and suggestion - thank you!

What I think would look very nice is a marble effect with white or ivory paint (or whatever color you like) and a silver accent. It's a gorgeous look.. Sounds like your soft theme/colors would be perfect for it too. You can have the marble effect as dramatic or as mild as you like, very fun project, easy too. I'd practice on a spare piece wood though just in case you don't get the hang of it right away, but it is pretty easy to learn.
There are lots of "how to's" online. Just search "how to get marble effect", you'll get a bunch of helpful sites.. good luck, have fun with whatever you decide!
Oh don't forget, whatever you decide to do, sand and prime first!
