SOPHISTICATED WALL PAINTING TECHNIQUE and DECORATING IDEAS

I love cool and interesting wall painting techniques and sometimes I find them where they are least expected. While cruising around in search of some funky flower wall decals this gradiated red and black wall almost faded into the background. Don't ask me what made me look deeper into the picture past the leather armchair and the flower decals that weren't the wild colors that I was interested in at the moment, but I'm ever so glad that I did.

What fun it would be to try your hand at such a sophisticated, muted gradiation of colors. A wall that seems almost airbrushed by design projects such a peaceful atmosphere. I can picture a wall painting technique using a black glaze over a deep Chinese shade of red in a teenage girl's bedroom with a black comforter and a spray of cherry blossoms in silhouette or some Asian lettering decorating the bedroom walls as a focal point to the side of a conversation area, over a dresser or taking the place of framed artwork over the headboard of the bed.

PINK AND GREEN BOHEMIAN PATCHWORK BEDDING for TEEN GIRLS


GO HERE!



Pink and green color schemes don't end with summer. Funky paisley print fabrics in these colors can keep the attitude of springtime alive year round when done with the right attitude. And the mood I'm in at the moment is bohemian. That's right, I'm not ready to relinquish my rope sandals and broomstick skirt even though the fall breezes are blowing my skirt and making my toes slightly more chilly than I can appreciate.

We can't turn the tide of the changing seasons, but we can use some clever decorating ideas and tricks to create our own little boho world where we get to call the shots.

Paisley

Funky, fun wall decals, paisley of course do a lot to spread the look from the inexpensive pink and green bed in a bag that we scored at the discount store. If you can't find colors that match your comforter, you can do some paisley stencils to give your walls their own unique brand of flower power.

For that matter, if your bedroom floor is less than modern and needs a makeover, scuff it, prime it and paint it in a solid color and stencil your designs in pink and green to match the rest of your teenage dream girl bedroom.

Pink and green bedding and bed in a bag sets tend to drop in price at the end of summer. Only the most hip and savvy teen girls know it's cool to decorate against the trends and pick up the best comforters at deeply discounted prices early in September. Who says that tweens and teens don't know the score? When it comes to funky bedding they know what's up and when it comes down to it, little else matters.
