THE NEED FOR COOL HEADBOARD IDEAS!

GO HERE FOR MORE!



I may seem to focus primarily on finding the perfect set of cool bedding for modern teen girls in my blog entries, but I want to let my visitors know that I do pay attention to the whole decorating package. I take care to design bedrooms for tweens and teens with ideas that will catch the attention from the minute the bedroom door is opened.

Focal points on the walls, floors, ceilings as well as the bed itself are very important elements in the decor. What good is a funky comforter if the rest of the room is plain Jane? Let's narrow it down even more and say that the rest of the bed itself should not be without interesting appointments and design.

The bed frame is not an issue because the bed skirt or dust ruffle covers it completely in most cases. A sumptuous padded mattress cover is a lovely addition for reason pertaining to comfort and protection of the mattress more than appearance.
This brings us to the subject of headboards.

The headboard of the bed could almost be considered the bridge between bedroom wall decoration and the bedspread. There are many popular styles of headboard from bookcase to luxuriously upholstered headboards. The kind that is right for your little lady's room depends entirely on your taste. Go classic with iron or brass or make your own headboard with instructions from any number of free patterns and videos found online with very few tools or materials.

One of the most creative headboard ideas that I've seen for a pink and frilly girl's bedroom recently involved a set of large headboard stickers or wallies that I found at American Blinds, Wallpaper & More at less than twenty five dollars each! This would be perfect for a coed's dorm room or apartment where you didn't want to haul lots of heavy furniture up multiple flights of stairs!

DIAMONDS and STRIPES - A COMBINATION of TWO COOL WALL PAINTING TECHNIQUES

GO HERE FOR MORE!




Four walls covered in a bold diamond pattern might be a little bit overpowering even for a sassy teenage girl's bedroom wall decorations, so what's a decorator to do? I would say that if diamonds are to be a girl's BFF (best friend forever) the wall painting technique might benefit from a chair rail. You can use a faux chair rail that's been painted as a break at the right height or if you prefer a 3D effect, you can nail some wooden trim as it's not too expensive. If you want to do something funky and fun, you can hot glue some fake fur, feathers or beaded trim in coordinating colors. Silk flowers at regular intervals can be cool, too. It all depends on your bedroom color scheme or decor.

You can stencil your large wall diamond designs above or below the chair rail and then tone them down with painted stripes below the chair rail. So long as you keep the color combinations similar, you should be in good shape! Here's a cool decorating tip to add a little something special to your diamond pattern; at the tip of each diamond glue or nail in a decorative nail head. You can find lots of burnished silver, brass and gold nailheads to use at your local upholstery shop.

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year!

GIRAFFE BEDDING and DECORATING IDEAS

GO HERE FOR MORE!



In my opinion giraffe is one of the more unique wild animal prints and I wonder why it's not used more in teen girl's bedrooms. I was looking for some tween safari theme decorating ideas and came across the usual cheetah, zebra and leopard print bedding sets and BOOM I chanced upon some luxurious chocolate brown and gold giraffe bedding. My first thoughts were to wonder why on earth I had not designed a room covered in giraffe patterns before. The only answer that I could come up with is that I might have regarded the earth tones found in a giraffe skin to be a little too dark or mature for a tween's or teen girl's bedroom much less a baby's giraffe nursery theme.

I still might not advise using these earthy tones for a preteen, but older girls are demanding more and more sophisticated bedding for their daybeds in their dorm rooms as well as their beds at home. If you don't want to drown the room in a sea of giraffe opt for a sumptuous golden or brown dupioni silk for bedspread. If you skip the busy pattern for your comforter or duvet cover, drop some pops of giraffe on the bed with pillow shams, bolsters or small accent pillows or any number of other decorative items like a giraffe shower curtain for the adjoining bath as well as chair and ottoman covers that will help you to complete a successful giraffe decorating project.
Return to Teenage Girls Giraffe Bedding and Bedroom Decorating Ideas for some tips on ways to incorporate this unique wild animal print into your home's decor.

PAISLEY PATTERN BEDDING and DECORATING IDEAS

GO HERE FOR MORE!




Mixing and matching bedding fabrics has a way of making any duvet cover or comforter so much more exciting! First of all, it’s a real challenge to choose just the right balance of color, texture and design for a teen girls decor. A paisley pattern with all those funky, bold shapes and colors is no different.

Here are some ideas on how to decorate your teen or preteen girl's room with funky paisley motifs and designs using fabrics printed with different patterns and prints rather than solid colors.


You know from the beginning of this bedroom makeover that you will have to bring in a print with small designs that will provide a background for the dominant paisley fabrics.

Take inventory of the color scheme of the large paisley pattern. Paisley patterns are an eclectic hodgepodge of color, but which one jumps out at you? Whatever the answer to that question may be, that color will be used as accent colors in decorating the bedroom.

Now, what color seems to be the anchor or background in the paisley design? That’s the color you will use in your coordinating prints. An example would be that if your paisley bedding pattern has hot pink flowers with brown stems on a field of beige choose a fabric with a neutral brown print. Some examples of acceptable patterns would be gingham checks, polka dots, houndstooth or wild animal prints like the cheetah print in the pictures.
Consider how fabulous the hot pink paisleys will look beside the chocolate brown prints!

SURFBOARD BEDDING and BEDROOM DECORATING IDEAS

GO HERE FOR MORE!





No matter what season it is, surfboard bedding sells. Regardless of what the weather's like in their country, surfing nuts know that somewhere in the world the waves are perfect, the sun is shining and the sand is soft and just waiting for them to show up and ride the waves and dance the night away.

Some lucky teenage girls get to enjoy winter surfing vacations. Those of us who are land locked and less fortunate can only dream of tropical flowers and swaying coconut palms AND design an island oasis in our homes starting with just the right set of surfboard bedding.

Until summer arrives and the calendar says it’s the perfect time to head to the seashore and hang ten at our favorite Hawaiian beach or a quiet cove tucked away near our town, a girl's got to make do. We can be all sad and lament the lack of surfing opportunities or be positive and spend our time coming up with cool ways to decorate the bedroom with stuff that makes a sand and surf oriented teen girl tickled pink. A pretty surfing theme comforter, quilt or bedding set with pictures of brightly colored woody surfboards is a great place to begin the decorative process.

The great thing about this particular surfboard bedding and beach themed room design is that it works equally well for tweens and teens girls….and in a pinch you could slide surfboard bedding into a young boy’s room unless the surfboards are pink!

Once you decorate your bed with your favorite beach bedding set, pick up some cheap accessories shaped like surfboards. Here are some surfboard theme decorating ideas for a preteen or teen girl’s bedroom:

• Surfboard clocks
• Surfboard rugs
• Furniture made out of an old surfboard (Adirondack chairs with surfboard backs)

There you go! Scatter some funky colored tropical fish decorations and tiki hut stuff around the room and you’re good to go until it’s hot enough to break out the bikini and board shorts and hit the beach.

Pink and Green Bedding for Tweens and Teens

GO HERE FOR MORE!





Nothing is as fresh and pretty as a new set of pink and green bedding for a tween or teens bedroom. A patchwork quilt or comforter is stunning and not so country that your teen will object so long as you offer a color scheme that is appealing. Even if you rely on a retro paisly print or polka dots to sneak your favorite colors by your young lady, the result will be worth the compromise.


For a vintage feel, consider brushing the rust off of grandmother's old iron bed and giving it a modern look with some fresh white paint. If you don't have an authentic antique iron bed tucked away in storage, there are replicas that are just as good as the real article. If you shop carefully, you can find an ornate metal bed that's relatively inexpensive and fancy enough to provide a beautiful background for most any style of pink and green bedding that you desire.

FRENCH BEDDING for TEEN GIRLS

GO HERE FOR MORE!





I am often asked for French bedding which is in actuality, Paris apartment style bedding ideas, for preteen girls. When it comes to French style bedding, what could possibly be more Parisian than a chic Fleur de Lys design? There are various prints that will forever be associated with France like French toile bedding fabrics, but everybody doesn't like busy, formal print. Preteens are often against floral prints of any kind so what are we left with that will have a French feel? I would say that Eiffel Tower and Fleur de Lys motifs would be our best options.


Picture luxurious silk shams and comforters with this lovely traditional motif printed in any color or this might be your chance to jump into monochromatic black and white bedding.

Here's an idea for how to make any solid color bedding set into a funky, fabulous French bedding set at a very cheap price!

Here's how to make your own inexpensive girl's French theme bedding for your teen.

• 
  Pick up a solid color comforter or duvet cover. Pillow shams or a duvet cover will be easier to work with for a beginner. Unless you are an advanced stamper, you may not want to experiment on a solid white or an expensive piece of fabric.
• Buy a large Fleur de Lys stamp and a small Fleur de Lys stamp
• Get some black (or whatever coordinating color you want your motifs on your bedding to be) fabric paint
• 
  Spread your fabric on a smooth surface, make marks with a pencil to help you space your designs and stamp!

If you prefer, you can substitute Eiffel tower graphics for the Fleur de Lys to make your own Parisian Eiffel Tower print French bedding set.
When you finish, you will have a lovely, sophisticated set of bedding that will make you think of Paris each and every time you walk into the bedroom.

I once used this decorating idea on a pale pink duvet cover and sham set. I was able to give a a used comforter set a makeover and the results were stunning! We came up with a really cool set of pink and black bedding that you couldn't find in stores! I attached some black pom pom and fringe trim to a few accent pillows and arranged some pink French poodles with rhinestone collars on wall shelves to pull my poodles in Paris decor together. If you aren't a dog lover, exchange the poodle decorations for some Eiffel tower decorations or anything else that means "Paris" to you!

DECORATING TIPS for a TEEN'S ASIAN BEDROOM

GO HERE FOR MORE!




I have seen instructions for decorative painting techniques recently that involved stenciling the fabric of chair cushions. What a unique way to give plain old solid color pillows a makeover! I went in search of stencil patterns that would make the do it yourself decorative painting so quick and easy that teens could manage the entire project from selecting some bad (read good) paint colors to making their own stencil designs. What I found initially didn't make me overly excited. There were some pretty designs, but most were too fancy or ornate for what I had in mind.

Then I came across the Asian stencils that would look so very cool with black and white bedding even if the entire bedroom is not decorated in an Asian theme. You could take tiny portions of the stencil and paint Asian figures practically anywhere in the room! I especially love the idea of a few symbols in white on black satin accent pillows or black and red on white silk fabrics. How sexy would that feel, I want to know!

LADYBUG BEDDING - DOUBLE UP ON MULTICOLORED INSECT BEDDING SETS

GO HERE FOR MORE!




From toddlers to teen girls, ladybugs are just hard to ignore. Some tweens just love country decor full of patchwork quilts with red and white gingham fabrics, so why not combine the two? The result would be a fun and wholesome mix of two popular girl's bedroom themes. How can you go wrong with a winning combination like that?



Along with your funky ladybugs, you can throw in some sunflowers and even throw in some polka dots on your decorative accessories or a blanket for good measure. What an uplifting and delightful bedroom you can have with such a peppy color scheme.

There are many teen bedding collections that mix and match, so why don't you try your hand at coordinating colors and fabric patterns to see what new and original decor you can create?

BALLERINA BEDDING - PRETTY PINK and PERFECT

GO HERE FOR MORE!



I couldn't wait to share my decoration idea for a pretty pink, white and lavender set of ballerina bedding with you! How cute would a set of ballet theme bedding be in your tween's room? I have pictures of ribbons, bows and flowers appliqued on a comforter in my mind that would be so devine with all of your girl's prima ballerina collectibles and chances are that you won't have to change her color scheme.



In those years between preteen and teen, a ballet theme may be just the right touch of French theme elegance, luxury and sophistication that you need for a room design that both you and your daughter can agree on. Lots of sweetness and light with the aloof demeanor of the ballerinas that your tween seems to be duplicating as of late. Enjoy your last chance to decorate the bedroom in pastel colors and florals. Hang prints of ballet shoes or better yet, make a wall arrangement of ballet slippers hanging from their wide satin ribbons from an ornate gold or silver hook. A tutu on a padded hanger is a beautiful decoration for the door of an antique armoire.

GIANT Lava Lamps - The Mesmerizing Meditative Effects of this Decorative Lamp for Teens

GO HERE FOR MORE!





A giant lava lamp of 52 oz. or better may be the best gift you can give the teenage girls on your list that is under $50. They are funky, fun and make a very impressive presentation. The variety of colors alone are enough to get a decorator's motor running in high gear.


Given the trend towards neon colors and retro colors in teen bedrooms it's no wonder they are flying off the shelves. Of course, the cheap price tag on such a cool gift doesn't hurt. There’s nothing quite as hypnotizing as lying in bed in the dark, talking on the phone while watching those viscous blobs of sticky, slimy goop floating about in hot oil. Add some mood lighting to the display and your teens and tweens might start doing some wild stuff like blocking out the natural light from their rooms with aluminum foil on the glass of their bedroom windows! Even in the light of day wild colored giant green lava lamps and funky lime green bedding sets are a match made in Heaven.




Once upon a time, the only style of lava lamps that you could buy was the funky metal kind that looked like some sort of demented space capsule. After all of their winning attributes and charms were realized, some bright person got the brilliant idea that they could be manufactured in the funky colors and themes as lava lamps that would fit into various retro styles of decor as well as being used to decorate contemporary themes in college dorm rooms and teenagers bedrooms across the planet.



Lava lamps even have a little something for fans of vintage movies and rockabilly. You can locate lamps that pay homage to the Kings and Queens of music and movies of decades past.

Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe who sadly left this world before lava lamps came into their own as far as trendy, decorative lighting is concerned are both memorialized with lava lamps in their honor. Dead rock stars have lava lamps dedicated to them as well. Guitar gods like Jimi Hendrix have their own lava lamp. Even the Coca Cola polar bear has an icy, artic blue lamp with his stamp on it. Are you into super heroes like Superman? Well, jump on board Lois and Jimmy because there's a lamp that's faster than a speeding rocket for you! And Red and white polka dot bedding will go very nicely with a Betty Boop theme lava lamp.


They are on sweatshirts, coasters, shower curtains and even on BBQ aprons, but pictures are for nerds. Get the real deal. How much fun is a graphic on an article of clothing. If a decorative accessory is worthy of printing on fabric, you want it in the boudoir.

The message is that you can never be too old or too young to enjoy the pleasures of zoning out bathed in the relaxing glow of a hot bubbling lava lamp. The meditative effect of lava lamps can’t be ignored and who couldn’t use a break from the tornado of activity that our stress filled lives have become?

If you are afraid your friends and family might think that you’ve reverted to your stoner days, you can always enjoy one of the free lava lamp wallpapers or screensavers for your computer. Turn off the lights, lean back in the ergonomically correct office chair and enjoy the show. Or you could always buy one for your teenager and let her keep it in her bedroom. Wait until she heads out to the mall or to a party and sneak in for a peek so that nobody will rat you out.

PINK POODLES PARIS STYLE TWEEN BEDROOM DESIGN

GO HERE FOR MORE!




Pink poodles Paris bedding will ease a little girl's transition from toddler to preteen bedroom design. Consider perky poodle dogs and Parisian scenery as a temporary stop off to prevent jumping into a style of decor that's too sophisticated for a tween girl and yet mature enough that allows hints of the stylish young lady that's about to blossom a stylish opportunity to make an appearance.

Appropriate bedroom decorating ideas for tweens can be a bit of a challenge. There is a fine line between the overly dramatic and a design that will meet your daughter's approval. She's not a baby anymore but still not ready for anything too worldly or wise if you catch my drift.

For that reason I highly recommend Parisian chic pink poodles as a motif. She gets the dramatic impact of black feathers and mom gets the softness of the color pink for a few more precious years. No matter what age you are decorating for, black is the perfect background for many pastels as it grounds them and keeps them from being cloying and sappy. I give decorative accessories in black credit for being able to slip in mom's preference of an almost floral color scheme on many of my decorating projects.

To accessorize your pink poodles bedding set, add black, wrought iron lamps in the shape of the Eiffel Tower and a black chandelier dripping with black crystal beads and mini-shades edged with feather trim. Seemingly unimportant, these subtle touches may be just the thing that prevents your young lady from kicking your pink poodles to the curb!


French poodles and parisian scenery are one of the best decorating styles for teen girls who are not ready for a more mature style of decor. Compromise is essential and the black and pink in pink poodles and Eiffel tower bedding sets will keep the innocence in our baby girl's bedroom for a few more years without sacrificing a fashionable look.

Young girls love the sparkling rhinestones on the dog collars, satin gloves and pictures of the Eiffel Tower decorating the walls and floor. The availability of Parisian wall decals is an added bonus that will be an invaluable resource for wall decorations. In short, it's possible to make pink poodles seem extremely sophisticated with very little effort on your part.

Carlson wins AMA Supermoto Unlimited championship

Morongo casino (California, USA) was the venue for the final 2 rounds of the AMA Supermoto Championship. Benny Carlson rode to a conservative 5th place in Saturdays final, clinching his 2nd AMA Supermoto Unlimited Championship and his 1st for the team.
Due to Atkins’ broken left arm, flat track expert Henry Wiles and French Supermoto pro Kevin Bethome were brought as replacement riders to earn points for the teams’ championship. Henry Wiles rode to an amazing 6th place in Saturdays final, and Kevin Bethome did the same putting the team on the box in 4th place beside Ben Carlson in 2nd during Sunday’s final event. This gave the team enough points to win the team championship over factory KTM by 1 point.

“It was an almost perfect season for the team, apart from my little mishap. We are really happy that Benny won the riders championship, and that we were able to choose the right guys (Kevin Bethome and Henry Wiles) to capture the points needed to win the teams championship along side Benny.
All this would not have been possible without everyone’s support, and we are really grateful for their efforts. I have to especially thank Aprilia USA, Rip It Energy Fuel, Parts Unlimited, and Bel Ray Oils. Amauri Nunes, Todd and Georgiann Carlson, John Weiss and Robert Pandya all played a key part in the teams success this season.”

HOT LIPS - PINK and BLACK POLKA DOTS and STRIPES TEEN BEDDING TO SWOON OVER!

GO HERE FOR MORE!


A funky, high contrast black, white and hot pink bedding collection would be the ultimate fantasy of any teen girl! Feature all the sophisticated, high fashion motifs from spike heels to red hot pink lips on the pillows. Other decorations include high performance sports cars and svelte fashion models ready for the runway covered in sparkles, glitter and loads of glam.






I love the way that the pink and black polka dots and stripes contrast and pop. You might think that this design would be a little too wild to work for decorating a girl's bedroom, even a teenager's bedroom needs a few tranquil elements but black and white striped pillow shams, bed skirts and accent pillows will tone it down to a low level of excitement that the color scheme will have a fancy French flair.

I can use my romantically inclined imagination to see some Eiffel Tower or other scenery found only in Paris used to decorate the walls for the ulimate in luxury and atmosphere! Perhaps some pictures of black and white polka dot fashion accessories with pink accents would really set off the bedding!



Then you will need some funky polka dot area rugs for the bedroom floors to keep those rosy toes from getting chilled! Big black and white polka dots on a square rug will look really cool with one corner tucked ever so slightly under the edge of the dust ruffle's stripes!

I don't have a clue as to why they show pictures of this girl's bedding collection with tan or light brown painted walls. I suppose they wanted to make as many photos as they can for a cheap price! I think you will come up with many more pretty teen bedroom decorating and wall painting ideas that will make these photographs look tacky!

Imagine what your preteen or tween would say if she walked in and her bed was decorated with this set of designer bedding. Or buy a pretty gift bag if you need a special gift for a birthday or other special occasion and let her decorate all by herself!

08 Tuono's

Minor changes for the 08 Tuono models. The factory now has gold wheels and red decals on the front fairing instead of a white decal.



And also all the 2008 Tuono R's have black wheels now. Guess Aprilia has stepped of the blue wheels for 2008.

08 RSV Colors

I present the new colors of the RSVR base model for 2008. 2 completely new colors white and blue. Looks amazing I must say! All the new 08 RSVR's have black wheels now. The factory models are distinguised by the gold frames and golden wheels. Sadly the 08 Factory's look exactly the same as the 07's no changes there. To bad since I think Aprilia should stop their golden frame frenzy.
