Bathroom being the room used for the most part of one's activities, be it dressing up, changing, cleaning, washing and what not. Our day starts by using it and ends the same way. Not only does it serve utilitarian purposes, it also helps a person to relax and revitalize the slacking brain cells after a long and hard day.

Bathroom Beadboard Design
Beadboard is not only beautiful but it adds perceived value to the room. In this tutorial we are adding beadboard in a bathroom. I recommend going with the 7" tongue and groove in a bathroom.
The reason for the 7" is there are various accessories in a bathroom that you will need to cut around, ie. paper holder, towel bars, counter-top, cabinets, toilet plumbing etc... It is extremely difficult with a 4'x8' sheet of beadboard to cut around all the accessories. In this particular bathroom, I went with the 7" T&G with chair rail and base board all in one kit. The beadboard kit comes pre-primed and the trim is pre-routed.
Before you get started you will want to prep the bathroom. Protect the floor, counter top and tub with paper, plastic or drop cloths as this will get a little messy. Remove all bathroom accessories that you can. In our case we removed the old ceramic paper holder and towel bars. We decided to go with new chrome accessories.
Depending on the height you want to install the beadboard you may also want to remove the mirrors, electrical plates and medicine cabinet. We also removed the toilet tank for an easier install around the plumbing pipes. Remove the baseboard and shoe molding if applicable. We installed new trim so we removed the door casing as well but you don't have to if you want to re-use it.

Teenage bedroom Design
Bedding for you teen can be plain, or funky - whatever goes with the room. Depending on your teens taste, a neutral colored bed set with nicely textured fabrics like silks or a velvet duvet can add interest with out being too flashy. Or if you want to make the bed a focal point, how about an animal print set or something in bright colors like hot pink and orange?
Accents are where you add interest and give the room personality. Some fun accents include chairs shaped like a giant shoe, faux fur covered lamps in wild colors, bean bag chairs of all types, phones in all shapes and sizes, funky accent pillows, rugs and wall art.
Teenager bedrooms are becoming more and more taste specific unlike the flowery decor or the cowboy wallpaper of yesteryear. Many teenager bedrooms now reflect their style while still being modern and current. Parents today seem to give teens a little more flexibility in how they would like their surroundings. These kids spend a lot of time in their bedrooms and want it to reflect their taste and not that of their parents.
Decorating any room in a house is all about creating a mood. Some teenager bedrooms are bold and energetic while others are more subdued and relaxing. Bed linens now come in a wide range of patterns and colors to fit any decor.
The bed is now the focal point and the room is decorated around it. Some teens enjoy creating their own space and showing their knowledge and appreciation for design. They seem to select more mature pieces while still keeping it youthful and fresh.
Themes are quite popular these days. Teenager bedrooms can be decorated in variety of ways. There are cultural designs with many colors and textures.
There are animal prints for those who want a little walk on the wild side! There are sports themes, musical themes, fantasy themes, spa themes, zen themes and the list goes on. With the help of the internet you won't have any problem finding the perfect items for whatever theme you choose.

For a nominal cost, a living room rug can transform the look of the room without changing anything else. Decor, paint, and professionally installed carpet can be very costly. A vibrant and complementary living room rug can breathe new life into a room and make it fresh again.

Living room rugs come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Accent rugs are typically a few feet wide and a couple of feet long. These look great in the entryway of a home or as a bath mat in the bathroom.

Colorful accent rugs also look great under tables and consoles on hardwood floors. Runners are long, skinny rugs that are often perfect for displaying in hallways, entryways, and foyers leading to the living room. They have a "red carpet" feel to them that makes them inviting and special.

Area rugs come in a variety of sizes and are generally square or rectangular, although some can also be round. They are often several feet long and wide and feature intricate patterns, colors, borders, and really become the centerpiece of the room.

Choosing a pattern or color scheme for a rug is always the most difficult part of the process. Some choose a rug to essentially act as floor art, becoming the focal centerpiece of the living room. Others choose living room rugs that will complement an already-existing color palette or design theme.

Living room rugs can feature scrollwork, sports themes, novelty designs, braiding details, color blocking, flowers, polka dots, stripes, and virtually every pattern in between.
