Purple and Green Dragonfly Bedding

GO HERE FOR MORE



It’s hard to wait until spring to dress the bed in a pretty purple and green dragonfly bedding set. Some decorators believe that we should update teenage girls’ bedrooms according to the seasons of the year. And then there are those who prefer to ignore what Mother Nature may have in mind and utilize their own decorating ideas by keeping their bedroom décor as light and airy as possible even when there are icicles are hanging from the eaves of the house.

I can find something to love about every season and love to decorate the rooms of my home accordingly, but I must confess that I tend to rush airing out my springtime comforter set and decorations every now and again. At the very least, my favorite purple dragonfly bedding set is fluffed and ready to use by the time the first crocuses make their appearance. And as we know, there are many years when these colorful flowers push their way forward through a light dusting of snow.

We have to wait until much later for the butterflies and dragonflies to occupy our gardens. But it won’t hurt to begin enjoying our purple and green dragonfly bedding sets a few weeks or even a few months before we have our first sighting of the real thing when we venture outdoors.

Early spring is one of the best times to organize our closets and kick off that decorating project. So, why not make use of the bright sunshine and perfect temperatures to paint the walls an exciting shade of lime green and hang some cute wall decorations that will look fabulous as a background for your purple dragonfly bedding? At the very least make the best of the transitional time between late winter and early spring to put a fresh coat of white paint on the crown moldings or chair rail so that your teenage girl’s bedroom is fresh and clean.
There’s nothing like a round of deep cleaning to clear the cobwebs and lift your sprits.

If you will be using the same set of purple and green dragonfly bedding from years past, add some new throw pillows or some colorful dragonfly sheets to update the comforter set and give it a new look. Toss a pretty area rug on the floor next to the bed and decorate your lamp’s old shade or design a new one with stenciled dragonflies or stickers. These are just a few purple and green decorating ideas that are cheap, easy and just as appropriate for use in dragonfly nursery themes as they are in a teenage girl’s bedroom.

ROCK N ROLL BEDDING - DECORATE YOUR BEDROOM LIKE A ROCK STAR

GO HERE FOR MORE




The right set of rock n roll bedding should include any or all of the following decorative elements:

• Cool colors. Lots of pink, black and other hot colors are best.
  
• Graffiti
  
• Your favorite punk rock band’s name or logo
  
• Pictures of your favorite rock star
  
• Electric Guitars
  

Rock and roll bedding should have an attitude. Ever since Elvis Presley made the scene, teenage girls have wanted to decorate their bedrooms with pictures of the musical idol of the moment. Because of the King’s affinity for giving pastel colored teddy bears to his most dedicated fans they were used as decorations for bedroom walls for the better part of the decade of the 50s.

Times have changed and punk rock stars rarely are associated with any icon less shocking than bright red roses. And even then, the long stemmed roses may be threaded through the empty eye socket of a skull.

The style of rock n roll bedding and comforter sets that is most often seen in the bedrooms of preteens and tweens at the time of this article is those that are part of the Hannah Montana product line. Hannah Montana guitar bedding sets and wall decorations are big hits with the teenybopper crowd. For young parents who want their newborns to be hip, there is plenty of rock and roll baby stuff in the stores.

Older girls who believe they are too mature for Disney Channel viewing tend to prefer their rock star bedding sets to be slightly more graphic; or at least as graphic as their moms will allow. The perfect rock band bedding for this teenage girl might be as middle of the road as having musical notes and electric guitars printed on the fabric or more band specific. It’s common for record companies to use every means possible to promote the latest up and coming rock band’s world tour or recordings with t-shirts, posters and now to the delight of many a devoted fan; rock n roll bedding sets.

PARISIAN STYLE SHOWER CURTAIN

GO HERE FOR MORE





I recently decorated a Paris style bedroom for a teen and had to look for some Parisian style shower curtains to use in the tiny adjoining bathroom. Decorating the small space was going to be a challenge. And the way it opened into the girl's Paris theme bedroom was going to give a full view of whatever style shower curtain we chose.

At one point I made the suggestion that an extra set of sheets that matched her Eiffel Tower bedding set be bought specifically to make a fabric shower curtain using my discontinued Butterick #0514 shower curtain pattern. To be sure that this was a good decorating idea, I had the teenage girl and her mother hold the flat sheet up so I could get a good look only to find that the print of the fabric was too bland. From the bedroom, it just looked dull.

We decided to mix it up a bit and used one of the vintage shower curtains with Paris themes that I had used in a shabby chic Parisian influenced bedroom a while back. I had not realized how truly versatile this Paris style shower curtain truly was until I took a second look. It had already proven its worth in the shabby chic Parisian apartment bathroom and now seemed the best choice to go with this bedroom without the first picture of the Eiffel Tower!

In fact, I bought two extras while I could get my hands on them. The fabric shower curtain featured vintage fashion models, high heels and purses that I had somehow neglected to remember. This unique Parisian style shower curtain has excellent possibilities for decorating a high heel and purses style of decor and I can't wait to try it out. But first, we have to see if it will fit in this small bathroom.

HOLIDAY BEDDING - What to Buy and When

GO HERE FOR MORE



It’s so much fun to decorate your entire home for Christmas. Christmas holiday bedding decorating the bedrooms and special guest towels and soaps displayed in the bathrooms really kick off the season in style.

WHEN TO BUY

The time to get the best holiday bedding sets at deep discounts is right after Christmas. The selections might be slightly picked over, but there are still some cute collections to be found if you know where to shop. It takes discipline to spend money on decorations that won’t be used for another year. But the year will pass in a flash and you will be pleasantly rewarded when December rolls around like clockwork and you have a box full of new decorations to use in your holiday decor.

WHAT TO BUY

If you are careful in your selection of holiday bedding, there is no need to pack it away immediately after Christmas. If the comforter set that you purchased is covered in cheerful pictures of Santa Claus and his reindeer, it’s recommended that you will need to pack the collection away with the rest of your Christmas decorations until next December. There’s something unappealing about Santa and his elves hanging around after New Year’s day if you know what I mean. However, there is something just as sad about giving up those soft, snuggly flannel sheets when we still have several months of winter weather coming our way.


The key to holiday bedding that is festive enough to brighten your teenage girl’s bedroom and fill it with cheerful images that reflect the season and still be appropriate long after the stockings have been emptied is to buy holiday bedding sets with winter themes that leave Santa out of the design. For that reason, I recommend snowflake bedding and comforter sets or snowman bedding, comforters and flannel sheet sets with any design that you might associate with winter. Basically, any kind of holiday bedding other than that with pictures of the jolly old elf and friends will be useful for the entire winter season rather than a few weeks.

Dog Comforter Set - Bedding and Decorating Ideas for Puppy Dog Decor

DOONA DOG COVER SET

Most kids love dogs so dog comforter sets featuring every breed known to man are popping up all over the place in all shapes, colors and sizes. Duck hunters love blankets printed with pictures of Labradors, future firemen prefer Dalmatian bedding sets and the list goes on and on.

I can’t tell you how many teenage girls tell me that they plan to pursue a degree in veterinary medicine. If the young lady who is asking for a bedroom makeover in your home is an animal lover, perhaps the best style of decor that will celebrate her career choice might be one that showcases puppy dogs.

If your little diva is a girly girl, a more feminine style of dog comforter set like a French poodle style of bedding and decor will be called for. Imagine what Paris Hilton or the latest celebrity seen carrying a dog about town in a special outfit or carrier might have in her bedroom and that is more than likely the set that will make this preteen or tween very happy.

However, for most girls any puppy will do. So long as you purchase a dog comforter set decorated with pictures of cute puppies across the top of the flat sheet, on the comforter and the pillow shams your dog themed teenage girls bedding set will be a huge success.
