How to do create a beach bedroom?

bedroom set 2012 image

Q. I want it to be relaxed, and with a slight nautical feel. The problem is, I have an attic bedroom, ith slanted ceilings, so Ican't paint my walls any other colour than white, or else it makes the room look smaller. Same with decorations, I can't hang any paintings, becaue I don't have ny vertical walls. my carpet is beige, and I have light brown furniture. What decorations which are becah themed could I use?? I'm putting sea glass in a jar, and wrap a ribbon around it, and I'm putting shells in a willow basket, which i'll hang from my ceiling, as it's only small. Any inspiration???? include any links etc. thanks for any sensible answers:)xxx

Answer
You do not have to stick to white. You just need to stick to light colours. A fresh ocean aqua marine (greeny blue) or a full on sky blue will set the first tone. White accents to bring in the classic beach house feel. For colours look here: http://www.google.co.za/imgres?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&sa=X&tbo=d&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=1280&bih=635&tbm=isch&tbnid=x1OQR1zBvgi03M:&imgrefurl=http://homeroomdecor.blogspot.com/2012/12/beach-bedroom-decor.html&docid=20hHqlhrWLadPM&imgurl=http://image.customizedbabyclothes.net/medium/33/beach%252520bedroom%252520decor33.jpg&w=616&h=462&ei=ICAZUfrIJsixhAfK3oCIDA&zoom=1&ved=1t:3588,r:21,s:0,i:153&iact=rc&dur=1015&sig=101587840792167095620&page=2&tbnh=188&tbnw=245&start=16&ndsp=21&tx=131&ty=70

Woven rugs ... greens or medium brown. This should be at the foot of your bed or in the centre of the room.

Brown (woody brown with textured fabric), a nautical blue or white linen. This should help tie into your furniture.

If you can paint nicely ... you could try painting wispy clouds on your ceiling for something a bit more fun.

You should take a photo of your room. It's easier to help people if you know what the space and furniture colour really looks like

Is it illegal to throw 20 small pebbles at someones bedroom window in Dallas Texas and than leave the scene?

Q. Every night at 11:00pm 4 hooded children come by my driveway and throw 20 small pebbles at my bedroom window, and than run away. I want to know if I have the right to prosecute.

I know because I counted. From the dates of May 28th 2012-Present.

Answer
Is it exactly 20 every time? Is it some kind of ritual?

Me? I'd set snare traps out near the driveway, dress up in a wolf skin and paint my face with blood-red war markings, and have a bonfire all laid out and soaked with gasoline so I could tie them up and scare the bejeezus out of them with a pagan ritual of my own. Court is boring.

Also.. if you get the police involved they'll redouble their efforts to make you miserable as soon as they finish their ten hours of community service.

What is required in order to consider a room in an apartment an actual bedroom in California?

bedroom set 2012 image

Jeff

We live in an apartment complex that is mostly 2 bedroom units in Sacramento County, CA. The owners converted a few of the units to what they call 3 bedroom units, except the third bedrooms do not have closets. They are basically just a room with a door leading to the rest of the apartment and a door leading out to the backyard. I am wondering if they can legally list these units as 3 bedrooms even though one of the rooms technically do not have the amenities the other rooms do.

Answer
Golden Gate ASHI Inspectors say a recent change in the California building code may make homes larger, at least on paper. The minimum ceiling height for living rooms, bedrooms, and other living space has been 7 feet 6 inches for many years, but the California code changes effective January 1, 2012, allow for residential ceilings to be as low as 7 feet, although some Bay Area jurisdictions, including San Francisco and Oakland, have amended the new code to keep the old ceiling height standard.

Existing Rooms. If an existing room has a ceiling lower than 7 feet 6 inches but higher than 7 feet, it may now be possible to consider it living space. The âaddedâ space resulting from this code change could increase home value when selling or refinancing. In order to qualify, the room must have adequate windows for light and ventilation. Additional requirements for heating, structural components, and other systems may also apply.

Is It a Bedroom? The âaddedâ space might count as a bedroom, if it has at least 70 square feet and no dimension less than 7 feet. It must also have a smoke alarm and an exterior door or an âescape and rescueâ window large enough to meet current standards. Building code does not require a closet, but some Realtors® and appraisers consider a closet part of the definition of bedroom.

Converting Unfinished Spaces. Previously, converting space with a low ceiling was often impractical due to the high cost of structural changes to increase ceiling height. The change in building code may eliminate this hurdle. In all other respects, requirements for âaddedâ space are the same as for any addition or alteration, requiring a set of plans prepared by a qualified architect showing how the new space complies with current requirements for light, ventilation, heating, fire protection, insulation, and Californiaâs Title 24 energy standards.

Curtain and Bed set ideas for a Blue walled Bedroom with grey white carpet?

I have a Columbia blue room. On 2 walls there are 2 colors sponged on but very lightly( green and a kind of pale yellow. On the 2 other walls there is the Columbia blue but then there are darker streaks of blue. I did not paint these walls, or choose the colors, but it is not an option to repaint. I am tying to get new curtains and new bed set. For my windows there is a white rim. Do you guys have any ideas for what I could get? I also would appreciate it if you would give me a website or a picture of the room that you found the bed idea in. If not thats okay too, I would like as many ideas as possible:) thank you so much
In a few year we will be getting wood floors, I don't know if this matters but... yea haha:) Thanks again!

Answer
Wow. I'd like to see a photo of that paint job. Whew.

Well, you seem to have a good attitude about it so I commend you for that.

You definitely need to stay away from any kind of pattern in your fabrics. Go with one color and I would imagine the lighter the better, I'd imagine. White or pale yellow might be good.

Or one option might be to EMBRACE THE COLUMBIA BLUE since it is the unifying color in all the walls! Maybe get white curtains and bedspread but go with the columbia blue in all your pillows and accessories with some white accents, too!
http://uglyhousephotos.com/wordpress/?p=25204

These photos may not be your colors, but they show how plain colors are what's needed to tone down the busyness of your sponged painted walls:
http://uglyhousephotos.com/wordpress/?p=9485

Here's an idea that could help cover the busy walls and should be inexpensive. Though the photo shows several busy fabrics in the hoops (or in any shape) on a plain wall - reverse it! If you decide on a specific color then put that in hoops of several sizes to maybe tone down the walls.
http://www.happymundane.com/2007/03/fabric-wall-inspiration/

One idea I might suggest is to pick which 2 wall colors you could easiest live with, then cover the other two walls with something.

Since you cannot paint, how about ceiling to floor and wall to wall curtains? Pick one of the colors from the walls you will keep exposed, or use white, and get plain colored sheets and hang them on the walls. Ikea has great ideas on how to hang curtains but if your budget is really low, just hang them flat with staples or push pins.
http://www.roomzaar.com/rate-my-space/Home-Offices/Budget-Basement-Home-Office/detail.esi?oid=6458280
http://pinterest.com/pin/57772807690801745/

If your budget is really low, get large sheets of craft paper hung with removable tape as tiles in a brick fashion: http://patterni.net/brick-pattern-tiles/

Or rolls of butcher paper, and use removable tape, staples or push pins to hang. Then, if you want, you could write or draw on your walls, too! http://www.walltowallstencils.com/gallery/fullsize/bettywatsonjohn316.jpg

Another idea is folding screens. Find them at rummage sales and paint them the color of your choice to help hide the 2 walls you want to cover up.

You can go to the dollar stores in your area and look for sheets, rugs, fabric, paper, place mats, anything inexpensively that you can use to hang. Again, I would stick with plain colors but you never know - maybe something might inspire you there and you'll come up we a great idea of your own!

Here are several ideas for you to check out. Notice in the first photo how they worked with the colors in the various patterns. That's the idea - pick UNIFYING colors.

Wall art! Make as big or small as you want!

Answer
You do not have to stick to white. You just need to stick to light colours. A fresh ocean aqua marine (greeny blue) or a full on sky blue will set the first tone. White accents to bring in the classic beach house feel.

Brown (woody brown with textured fabric), a nautical blue or white linen. This should help tie into your furniture.

Is it illegal to throw 20 small pebbles at someones bedroom window in Dallas Texas and than leave the scene?

bedroom set 2012 image

Q. Every night at 11:00pm 4 hooded children come by my driveway and throw 20 small pebbles at my bedroom window, and than run away. I want to know if I have the right to prosecute.

I know because I counted. From the dates of May 28th 2012-Present.

Answer
Is it exactly 20 every time? Is it some kind of ritual?

Me? I'd set snare traps out near the driveway, dress up in a wolf skin and paint my face with blood-red war markings, and have a bonfire all laid out and soaked with gasoline so I could tie them up and scare the bejeezus out of them with a pagan ritual of my own. Court is boring.

Also.. if you get the police involved they'll redouble their efforts to make you miserable as soon as they finish their ten hours of community service.

Curtain and Bed set ideas for a Blue walled Bedroom with grey white carpet?

I have a Columbia blue room. On 2 walls there are 2 colors sponged on but very lightly( green and a kind of pale yellow. On the 2 other walls there is the Columbia blue but then there are darker streaks of blue. I did not paint these walls, or choose the colors, but it is not an option to repaint. I am tying to get new curtains and new bed set. For my windows there is a white rim. Do you guys have any ideas for what I could get? I also would appreciate it if you would give me a website or a picture of the room that you found the bed idea in. If not thats okay too, I would like as many ideas as possible:) thank you so much
In a few year we will be getting wood floors, I don't know if this matters but... yea haha:) Thanks again!

Wow. I'd like to see a photo of that paint job. Whew.

Well, you seem to have a good attitude about it so I commend you for that.

You definitely need to stay away from any kind of pattern in your fabrics. Go with one color and I would imagine the lighter the better, I'd imagine. White or pale yellow might be good.

Or one option might be to EMBRACE THE COLUMBIA BLUE since it is the unifying color in all the walls! Maybe get white curtains and bedspread but go with the columbia blue in all your pillows and accessories with some white accents, too!

These photos may not be your colors, but they show how plain colors are what's needed to tone down the busyness of your sponged painted walls:

Here's an idea that could help cover the busy walls and should be inexpensive. Though the photo shows several busy fabrics in the hoops (or in any shape) on a plain wall - reverse it! If you decide on a specific color then put that in hoops of several sizes to maybe tone down the walls.

One idea I might suggest is to pick which 2 wall colors you could easiest live with, then cover the other two walls with something.

Since you cannot paint, how about ceiling to floor and wall to wall curtains? Pick one of the colors from the walls you will keep exposed, or use white, and get plain colored sheets and hang them on the walls. Ikea has great ideas on how to hang curtains but if your budget is really low, just hang them flat with staples or push pins.

If your budget is really low, get large sheets of craft paper hung with removable tape as tiles in a brick fashion: http://patterni.net/brick-pattern-tiles/

Or rolls of butcher paper, and use removable tape, staples or push pins to hang. Then, if you want, you could write or draw on your walls, too! http://www.walltowallstencils.com/gallery/fullsize/bettywatsonjohn316.jpg

Another idea is folding screens. Find them at rummage sales and paint them the color of your choice to help hide the 2 walls you want to cover up.

You can go to the dollar stores in your area and look for sheets, rugs, fabric, paper, place mats, anything inexpensively that you can use to hang. Again, I would stick with plain colors but you never know - maybe something might inspire you there and you'll come up we a great idea of your own!

Here are several ideas for you to check out. Notice in the first photo how they worked with the colors in the various patterns. That's the idea - pick UNIFYING colors.
