why is it so important for kids to clean their rooms?

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 01:52:17 +0000

I honestly don’t see what the big deal is. Like, your not living in my room, why do I have to clean it? Like honestly my parents room is horrid. Why do I have to clean mine. My dad is a freekn pig leaves tooth floss every where, and his dirty tissues, and leaves his underwear everywhere. ugh, and I clean it up. What is the big deal with parents and rooms? Like my dad gets seriously pissed when my room isn’t clean. plz answer no sarcasm.

BECAUSE I’M YOUR PARENT AND I SAID SO!!

Is it a good idea to allow your twelve year old daughter to design her bathroom?

admin — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 13:17:19 +0000

My daughter is 12 turning 13 next month. She shares a bathroom with her 7 yr old sister is it good idea to let her design it if so tips on how to make sure it is appropriate.
She despises Justin Bierber the most she’d do would be paint,decorate(AG dools/Hot pink paint maybe)

I think since the 13yo and the 7yo share it, then they should both have the opportunity to decorate it. YOU, be the parent, of course, has the final say. It will be a good project for both of them to work out. TEAMWORK!

Parents, how strict are you when it comes to your kids keeping their rooms clean?

Are you of the "I better be able to bounce a quarter on the sheets" school? The "I don’t care, they have to live in it, not me" school? Somewhere in between?

Beds made. Toys back where they got them. Dirty clothes in hamper.

What are universities with good interior design programs?

admin — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 21:35:05 +0000

I want to get a bachelor’s degree in interior design. I absolutely DO NOT want to go to an art/design school. I want a large, well rounded university with lots of options like the university of texas. I have a few schools in mind, I just wanted to explore my options.

Also, I know some schools want to see a portfolio with your application, so if you could let me know if the school requires that or not, that would be awwwwesome.

Look into large universities in your home state. They will be your best bet and they will not cost an arm and a leg. It is good to see someone with their head screwed on straight for once. A large state university will offer you the well rounded education that you hope to earn and you will have many options most large state universities have over 150 majors to chose from and wonderful study abroad programs! I hope this helps good luck with finding a good school!

What’s the process in building your own home?

admin — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 00:45:31 +0000

If I wanted to one day have a home built from the ground up, what would the process be from start to finish?

Find a lot to build it on and buy it. Find an architect and have him draw up plans and materials lists for they kind of house with the features you want. Hire a contractor….forget it and buy one ready made. Even a new factory built home would be cheaper and easier than a DIY.

How can I creatively decorate my kids rooms without painting?

admin — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 00:45:18 +0000

I have a 7 yr old boy and a 3 yr old girl. I need ideas on decorating their rooms without painting them. Thanks.

1. Cover wall space with your child’s own original artwork.
2. For young children, use crepe paper on a roll (available at teacher’s supply or craft shops) for finger, sponge, or other tactile painting. You can lay the paper flat, let your child paint to her/his heart’s content, and then hang the finished painting from your child’s wall. Another method is to hang blank sheets from ceiling to floor like wallpaper and let your child ‘body paint’ right onto the wall. This can be a fun activity for the whole family, as long as you don’t mind getting a little messy yourself. Make handprints, footprints, and splatters. It’s like coloring the walls, but without the parental wrath and permanent damage.
3. Older children may already have a collection of artwork from school art classes. Turn your child’s room into a mini-museum by framing your child’s drawings and paintings with paper, pegboard, or wooden frames, and hanging them throughout the room.
4. Finally, pre-teens will enjoy the time-honored tradition of the magazine collage. Use a removable, non-damaging adhesive (such as Sticky Tack) to arrange clipped pictures of movie stars, favorite musicians, and coveted shoes all over the walls. The best part of this decorating technique is that your child can add to it every day.
5. Liven up white walls.
6. If your child’s heart is set on changing the color of the walls entirely, try using wallpaper – without actually pasting it up. Take a trip to the home goods store and pick out paper samples or remnants. Don’t worry if the remnants aren’t large enough to cover the whole wall – creating a collage of different patterns and colors is part of the fun.
7. To add texture, choose some fabric remnants from a crafts store to hang as tapestries. If your child sleeps in a bunk bed, fabrics can be hung from the sideboards to create a "tent". This can make the room feel bigger, and creates a great place for pretend!
8. Add 3-dimensional interest.
9. Hanging mobiles aren’t just for babies. Fill some space in the room by fashioning a "chandelier" out of old toys, stuffed animals, or any lightweight objects. Older children might enjoy making mobiles that reflect their hobbies. Baseball cards, old ballet slippers, and sports ribbons are all good materials.
10. Hanging fabric from the walls – attached only at the top with some neat finishing nails – adds a splash of color to a room, and you can always take it down. Also try hanging picture frames (with nails through the fabric) on top of the fabric sheet to have a nice picture collage.
11. Add decorative knobs to the furniture. Thousands are available now, you’ll find one that will relate to something important in your child’s life – their favorite sport, an animal they love… You can even get them really involved by letting them paint their own knobs!
12. Self-stick, peelable, wallpaper borders, murals, and designs. They do not damage the walls, yet add a lot of color and character. Has your son out-grown ABC’s and cartoon cars? Peel them off, wash the walls, stick on the Batman borders and stickers. They are available at many places that sell wallpaper as well as on-line. They will last for a year at least. Actually, these self-stick borders are nice for adding an easy splash of color to any room. Some of these products are ‘cheap-looking’ (like shelf paper), but many are indistinguishable from quality wallpaper.
13. Remember to hang art and other decorations low enough for the child to appreciate… and yes, touch. Too many nicely-decorated children’s rooms have the pictures, shelves, etc. all at adult height. Who cares if it looks like it came out of a magazine? Whose room is it anyway? Put that ABC poster down at toddler level so she can appreciate it.
