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.

Aprilia MXV450 news

Also Aprilia has been working on a 250 MX bike for a year now. No details about that one yet. But it's real.
Carlson wins AMA Supermoto Unlimited championship

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.
2007 AMA Supermoto Unlimited Champion – Ben Carlson
2007 AMA Supermoto Unlimited Team Champion – Factory Aprilia Rip It Energy Fuel
2007 AMA Supermoto Unlimited – 6th place Darryl Atkins (had runner up position prior to injury and not competing in final 3 rounds)
“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.”

Leovince's for the Shiver

The LeoVince SBK Factory cans, EVO II type-approved, feature a winning blend of impeccable cost-effective performance levels, and high-tech content. They can be fitted to the original system by means of special stainless steel manifolds. The silencer is completely constructed of titanium with a choice of either titanium or carbon fibre outer skin. The rear sump and the frame fixture strips are also made of carbon fibre.
The GP-style Evo II type-approved cans offer the same performance levels but they are characterized by launcher-shaped (“a tromboncino”) styling, directly inspired by the current MotoGP style (in which LeoVince has always been present in the capacity of technical sponsor) giving a modern racing look. The silencer and the manifold connection pipe are made of TIG-welded stainless steel with a sandblasted finish. Frame fixture is by means of a carbon fibre bracket.

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!

FV2 1200 concept




The heart of the FV2 1200 is Aprilia’s mighty, 1200 cc, 90° V twin, a power plant that confirms Aprilia’s determination to develop high capacity, high technology engines using in-house skills and competence.
The minimalist bodywork of the FV2 1200 creates a stunning preponderance of volume towards the front of the bike. The result is a revolutionary, courageous and futuristic look that is destined to form the solid basis for the evolution of Aprilia motorcycle styling.
The engine also fulfils a structural role, and acts as the starting point for the backbone of the motorcycle, a carbon fibre, load bearing frame with integrated filter box. The seat is supported by an aluminium beam and by two carbon fibre struts that extend into the tail and around the rear light cluster. The parallelogram front suspension is based on the system already tried and tested on Aprilia’s 250 cc GP racers.
These futuristic solutions have led to an amazing weight reduction (the FV2 1200 weighs under 160 kg) and an extremely compact size. The extraordinary agility that has always typified Aprilia motorcycles therefore finds its utmost expression in the FV2 1200.

Can Green in Teen Bedding Sets be Cool?
GO HERE FOR MORE!
Funky Geometrics and Acid Green Bedding
So, what are you going to do when your teen wants something funky and green? Green and funky don’t always go hand in hand. There’s jungle bedding that has lots of lush, green foliage and you might be able to stretch the description and call it wild, but funky and fun it’s just not.
Solid green? As big a fan as I am of the color green, there’s just something overpowering about a comforter in solid green. That’s just too much green to be considered cool no matter what colors or prints you pair it with.
The only fabric print at the moment that I can think of that might be green enough and yet funky enough to meet your teen’s approval would be bright green geometrics. Abstracts are bouncy and light-hearted and chock full of decorating possibilities. Pull one or two of the dominant colors from the print and go wild!
