PATRIOTIC GIFT IDEAS - BEDROOM DECORATIONS
GO HERE FOR MORE!
If you have a friend with a summer birthday, consider a patriotic gift. I believe that when things get tough, a little patriotism can be an excellent reminder of how much better off we are than most any other country in the world. By no means are shows of patriotism limited to the first week or so in the month of July. However, because of the 4th of July holiday and the celebrations associated with it we might tend to put a little more focus on gifts or home decorations that display classic patriotic motifs and colors.
Decorative items with these designs that make excellent gifts range from elegant stained glass Tiffany style lamps military symbols to funky red, white and blue electric guitars. No matter how formal or informal, there's a way to decorate your teen girl's dorm room, bedroom or first studio apartment in ways that will honor her country and remember those who serve in the various branches of the military.
In the not so distant past, the only patriotic gift that was available was an American Flag with a means to display it on the front of your house. The flag is still a popular decorative choice for any home, but for the inside of the home there are many modern options that will delight your patriotic barrel racing cowgirl or cowboy as well as a biker who may be a member of one of the motorcycle clubs whose members are veterans who fought with honor and pride in the Vietnam War and others.
I have seen some area rugs that were woven like an American flag and I have to say that I'm not a fan of the idea of people walking on this proud symbol of what this country is about. Patriotic gifts with pictures of the flag, flags on guitars, American emblems painted on the tank of a motorcycle or even flags used as window treatments don't bug me too much. But there's just something about the Stars and Stripes underfoot that seems disrespectful and while I don't judge other people's taste in home decor, I would like to encourage you to choose patriotic bedroom designs and gifts for teen girls that display our country's symbols with the pride and respect that they deserve.

PATRIOTIC WALLPAPER - WALLPAPERS AND BACKGROUNDS
When you finish decorating your bedroom walls with patriotic stuff like banners and wall borders, complete the project with a makeover for your desktop pc and cellphone. Shouldn't your computer monitor and your mobile phone look just as cool as your bedroom at home?
There are tasteful, respectful and downright dignified computer wallpapers with a little something red, white and blue as well as really cute teddy bears and puppies dressed up in stars and stripes covered hats. The American Eagle is getting a little competition from the Peace sign floating around on a background of Nautical blue clouds and Uncle Sam has been joined by a busty babe dressed in a sexy red, white and blue tuxedo and by the time my visitors get around to trying out the downloads, there will probably be a kitty cat or a monkey running around in stars and stripes.
Check back for regular updates on all the downloadable patriotic wallpapers, screensavers, ringtones and backgrounds that are NEW for Flag Day, the 4th of July or any time of year you want to display your patriotism for the world to see!
Everybody that walks by in the library or in Starbucks will see by your Patriotic computer wallpaper that you are a proud American! When your friends borrow your cell phone (don't you get sick of that?) they will jump on the band wagon and want a a skin of their own. Don't you just adore starting trends?
Now, if I could only find some funky ringtones playing the National Anthem or Battle Hymn of the Republic I'd be ready to rock and roll right on down to the fireworks display. I can practically hear Stars and Stripes Forever or the Star Spangled Banner as I write.
Consider a set of patriotic theme bedding to go with your patriotic wallpapers and backgrounds.
PATRIOTIC BEDDING and DECOR FOR TEENS BEDROOMS
GO HERE!
Red, white and blue bedroom decor just seems right for summer time, doesn't it? Whether it's for the beach house, the home bedroom or for a patriotic teenage getting ready to leave the country on vacation or simply preparing her dorm room for when she leaves the nest for college in the fall a stars and stripes theme is crisp, clean and if the right songs are played in the background; brings a lump to my throat and tear to my eye.
A set of patriotic bedding doesn't have to have a complete picture of an American flag on the comforter. Indeed, that might even be construed as some to be improper use of the stars and bars. Instead, coordinate your simple red, white or blue striped bedding with appropriate wall hangings and decorations and window treatments.
A clean, white painted bedroom wall with provide one of the best backgrounds in the world for this style of decor which makes this perfect for an apartment or dorm room where painting the walls might be prohibited. Once summer is over, simply pack up your red, white and blue decorations and pack them away for next year when Flag Day and the Fourth of July put you in a patriotic decorating frame of mind.

Aprilia launches new sportcity scooters
I never post much news about scooters but now thats going to change. Aprilia sells more scooters than motorcycles so why not? And with the rising gas prices scooters are getting more and more popular. And did I mention they are really fun? I used to own a Aprilia SR50 when I was 16 and I had a great time riding it. Yay for scooters!
Sportcity cube 300
Sportcity cube 300
Reference point in its segment since it debuted in 2004, the Aprilia Sportcity was born out of an innovative construction philosophy: tyres with generous sections, brilliant engines, and an extremely rigid frame. The Sportcity is synonymous with excellent synthesis between the comfort of a high-wheel scooter and the dynamism typically found in a sporting bike, a combination that guarantees urban mobility that is both active and fun.
The 2008 version, fruit of a profound renovation, further emphasizes the versatility and elegance of this Aprilia best-seller. The even more generous dimensions, finishing touches, superior endowments, and adoption of a new 300cc propulsor are the basic ingredients of this third edition that acquired the Cube suffix to underline these important additions.
The Sportcity Cube demonstrates its own personality through the restyling imprinted on every aspect of the scooter: the anterior area was completely redesigned and incorporates a brand new instrument panel, and the back underwent important modifications: the wider and more comfortable seat, the new, elongated tail, and the larger storage compartment emit both importance and elegance.
With the arrival of the 300 engine, the Sportcity Cube openly appeals to the medium-distance commuter, proposing ideal solutions for global mobility.
Sportcity one
Compact dimensions but great comfort and practicality while incorporating the unmistakable Aprilia design: Sportcity One reinterprets the characteristics that made its big brother a success and makes itself into a winning option for dealing with everyday traffic.
“Medium” wheels, a sporty style, and functionality are all characteristics of the bike that lowers the threshold of access to the Aprilia scooter range, offering all the advantages of a modern high-wheel but elevating it to the top thanks to its distinctiveness and carrying capacity.
Secure, agile, and able to dart about comfortably in traffic without sacrificing manageability, the Aprilia Sportcity One is primarily born to satisfy the urban commuter who tackles the city every day.
An avant-garde product capable of brilliant results, it offers the best endowment in its segment. The two available cylinders – the 50 and 125 – allow the Sportcity to satisfy all urban needs thanks to modern and ecological 4-stroke engines. The projectual attention and precise study of the combustion's efficiency make these propulsors brilliant, extremely clean, and absolutely frugal in consumption. Both are catalyzed and the 125 meets the norms set by the Euro 3.
PINK and GREEN POLKA DOTS, STRIPES and PAISLEY BEDDING
GO HERE FOR MORE!
A specific request for a bedding set with pink and green polka dots is demanding enough, but throw in the recommendation that stripes and paisley patterns be included in the design and frankly that's enough to make a decorator's head spin.
The color scheme is a personal favorite of mine so I'm cool with that. But when you you start mixing and matching more than two fabric prints; you are stepping off into uncharted territory that requires the eye of a seasoned professional.
Decorating a teenage girl's bedroom using a hodgepodge of stylish patterns like the one that we were contemplating using green and pink polka dots and stripes plus a coordinating paisley print can be cute and fun to put together. The only drawback that it might take more time to find the best fabrics for the job than most tweens or preteen girls would appreciate.
Decorators will tell you that color schemes for the bedroom are pretty easy to perfect and in most cases this is an accurate statement. However, it takes even an expert a lot of time to mix and match fabrics colors, prints and patterns without creating a decorating nightmare. And then once the fabrics are on the design board, the decision on the best window treatments and decorations must be made.
The thing is that a custom pink and green polka dot bedding set is going to cost more than an inexpensive bed in a bag. And the hours that the interior decorator is on the job racking up time comparing yards and yards of pink and green striped and paisley fabrics to find one with a personality to suit the bedroom and that will be a perfect match with the funky pink and green polka dots that will be center stage so far as the bedroom's decor is concerned translates into additional cost.
If you are on a limited budget, perhaps the best plan of action will be to find a discount bed in a bag set that your daughter loves and personalize it a bit to make it your own creation. Consider custom bedding only when your bank account is flush with cash or there is absolutely no other way make your daughter happy.
