�Mom and Dad, I want to redecorate my room.� These words have been known to strike terror in the hearts of many a parent. You want your child to enjoy his room and you know that designing the d�cor would be a great self-esteem and confidence builder. Yet parents also know that their child�s interests and design style will change again within a couple of years. Now what?
25th (Silver)15th (Crystal)There are also curtains and window coverings available that don't require any type of clip. These curtains come with fabric loops that easily slide along the curtain. These curtains, which come in a variety of designs and fabrics, are very inexpensive but you can also make your own by attaching your own loops to fabric. One handy feature is to have each fabric curtain loop fastened with buttons or Velcro to make the curtain easy to remove from the rod for washing.The final step in redecorating your child�s room is finding accent items. If your toddler has chosen animal-themed wall art, a stuffed animal collection would be perfect. If a bright alphabet poster was chosen by your preschooler, items that begin with each letter of the alphabet would be a great collection for your child to amass. Your ten year old daughter has chosen a doll theme? Display her doll collection. Your teenage son has chosen sports posters? All of his sports paraphernalia fits right in! If your teenage daughter has chosen travel posters because she�d rather be anywhere than at home, souvenirs from her travels or items that represent places from her travel posters will allow her to live in those places during those difficult days teen girls often have.One the least expensive window coverings is achieved by simply removing the current curtain rod and replacing it with a new one. You can forget about buying rails and all that jazz. The simplest and most modern looking window coverings are simply swaths of fabric that hang from pinch clips. Pinch clips are hoops, which like clothespins, grip the edge of the fabric and allow you to hang any kind of drape or material (hemmed or unhemmed) from the curtain rods. One very popular look is to simply buy a very fancy wrought iron or aluminum rod and then hang white hemmed sheets from it that have been hemmed. You still get that romantic billowing look without the expense of spending money on prefabricated drapes. You can also sew your own drapes using any fabric that tickles your fancy, including eyelet, cotton, satin, velvet or sheers. Many fabric stores also sell ropes, tassels and ribbons that can be used as tiebacks for the curtains.Start by asking your child what his favorite color is, then take him to a paint store and pick up paint sample card of his favorite. Next, show him a few colors that would coordinate well with his favorite and let him choose the coordinating color. Finally, show him a few colors that would work well as accent colors with the colors he�s already chosen and let him choose the accent color. You now have your color scheme!If you're Irish and celebrating 55 years of love, your emerald anniversary is the perfect time to celebrate your heritage and your heart. Infusing the table with the Claddagh charms, anniversary poems and candles with marriage prayers can hold special meaning for you and your guests. Even if you're not Irish, you can accent your celebration with emerald green votives surrounding a jeweled centerpiece in a sparkling vase.It all began with a band of gold, so let that be the inspiration for this golden celebration. The perfect symbol for any anniversary party, wedding-band items, like vases, coasters, golden balloon sculptures, cake toppers and centerpiece holders, make your table d�cor even more special knowing that the bands are laden with 50 years of love.Set the stage with silver candelabras and a sterling silver place setting for a stunning table. Be sure that guests find their way to their seats with silver photo frame place card holders that they can also take home as a stylish party favor.10th (Tin/Aluminum)While the most common color for sapphire is blue, this gemstone actually comes in a variety of hues. Trace amounts of other elements such as iron, titanium, or chromium can give the mineral corundum blue, yellow, pink, purple, orange, or greenish color. Sapphire may also be colorless, and it also occurs in the non-spectral shades gray and black. Wouldn't it be fun to color and name each table for the different shades?
Congratulations, you�ve done it! Your child�s room is a special place that he helped plan. He�s feeling great about his role in the process and loves his room. Even better, because of your great planning, the basics � walls, trim, and window coverings � can stay the same throughout his many stages. As he grows and his interests change, all you need to do is change the wall art and accent items. Are you brilliant or what?
