I'm painting my room this summer sometime, I was just wondering if anyone had any creative/interesting ideas for painting, decorating or furniture! Thanks :)

I have tons, but one that my friend just did for her baby's room is that she painted some furniture a pretty color and then decoupaged a tissue paper over it. The paper was a celestial pattern and the paint was blue, so the blue came through the back ground, but the moons and stars came through. The idea will work for any picture type tissue, and any background color you like. She then ragged a complimentary color for the top (in this case) If you want to do the top in decoupage, you need to seal it with polyurethane, though I would suggest a couple coats on the entire thing, as I hate any sort of sticky surface in general and like easy to clean things.

i really wanted to paint my room all black, but my mom said no. i have about one year left here, but still! i have the ugliest walls in the world. she gets all emotional and gives me a lecure everytime i bring it up that i want to repaint them [she painted this really ugly stencil border on my wall when i was a baby].

oh well, i hope she likes something

there might be something in the faq about this. i had asked about bedroom decor and painting a while back and someone posted back with links galore and a lot of great ideas. look back a few pages or look thru the faq because it might be there. id look but im on my way out the door right now...:) good luck. i just painted my room and its "sour apple" green and i heart it. and thi is really cool too...

take a look at august "cosmo girl" while you're at the store (don't buy it,it's not worth it) there is a great room redesign in it. atleast the plastic wall fram things and the mirror ideas were good. you might dig it. and they both looked super easy to do.

Dunno what style you're you're into, but you could spray paint graphic stencils on your furniture.
