Sexy Costumes and Bedroom Games

Sexy costumes have a huge role to play in making a lot of people awed by your innate sensuality. Be it a lingerie or any other smartly revealing dress; there is something mysterious and beautiful about the way you carry yourself in that outfit. It does not only mean that you have to flaunt your attire only for events like parties, social meets or other public event. You can also experiment with sensuous attire for role-playing at the bedroom with your spouse.

To enhance your sex life, it is better to be creative with your clothes. To make love in the nude may be a highly interesting thing in the beginning when you see each other in the buff for the first few occasions but then the novelty wears off, especially for men who are visual by nature. To keep the mood electric forever, you should experiment with your clothes while love-making. By now, you may have realized that you should refrain from being totally nude rightaway while making out. Create the right stir by making use of sexy costumes and vivid role-play. This will definitely heighten the love-making process and keep the magic going on for a long time.

Create scenarios and wear the right costume that suits the mood. For instance, you can choose to be a damsel in distress, wear the dress of a princess from the Victorian era or simply the costume of a sexy nurse or of a non non-sense teacher. Of course, you can ask your husband or partner also about his fantasies and what his preferences lie in, and then accordingly play along. You can choose to seduce or be seduced according to what kind of role-play and sexy costume you wear. For instance, if you are wearing the costume of a damsel in distress or a Kate Winslet like costume from the Titanic movie, you can play the vulnerable, coy girl and let your partner do the honors. If you wear the sexy costume of a strict teacher, you can make use of a whip and let his school boy fantasies come alive. With the right mix of dresses and role-playing imagination, there can be a lot of spice in your sex life.

Themed Bedroom Ideas That Can Grow With Your Little Girl

As a parent, how to decorate your child's room is one of the tough decisions you have to make. She might love Dora the Explorer today, but it's not likely that she'll want cartoons on her walls forever. You could end up spending a ton of money redecorating every year or two if you don't think ahead. Here are seven theme ideas for girls' rooms that can grow with her over the years, saving you money.

Princess

All little girls love to be princesses - and teens like to act like them too. Take a more mature approach to it from the start. Chose a subdued pink and pair it with browns to give the room a Victorian look. Canopy beds are regal, but they can be expensive. Instead, go for a smaller, removable net canopy, which attaches to the ceiling via a ring and only flows over the head of the bed. Use gold touches to finish the room with an elegant feel, and display princess toys that your child has until she outgrows them.

Garden

Instead of painting cartoon flowers and bumble bees all over the walls, which can be fun for a toddler but overwhelming for a teenager, try using real flowers (or silk flowers if you don't have a green thumb) on shelves that are out of reach of tiny hands. Use natural colors, like greens and browns, for painting and sheer curtains to let in as much light as possible. Keep the artwork on the walls whimsical enough for a children's room - like pictures of fairies or butterflies - yet sophisticated enough for teens; skip the cartoons and look for prints of paintings.

Retro

Creating a retro room for your daughter can be fun, but don't go too crazy with the flower power and smiley faces! Instead, stick to using colors that were popular in the 1960s and add fun touches like beaded curtains, printed rugs, and beanbag chairs. Use a lava lamp as a nightlight and stick to fabrics in funky prints, like paisley.

Paris

Pink French poodles and polka dots look cute in a little girls' room, and it is actually fairly easy to take that style idea and make it appropriate for any age group. Start with color - a Parisian themed room should have elements of black, pink, white, and tan. Stuffed poodles can easily be replaced on shelves with more sophisticated dcor, such as an Eiffel Tower replica or French country prints. Add mirrors and sconces to the walls (out of reach of small children of course) and for the furniture, think wrought iron and wood painted white or cream and distressed.

Celestial

Girls can love sciences and technology as much as boys, so why not choose a celestial outer space theme for your child? Use navy-colored paint to give the illusion of a night sky and glow-in-the-dark stars that can be removed if she no longer likes them when she's older. To give the room a girl's touch, use celestial sun, moon, and star accent pieces and pretty cloud or sunset artwork.

Beach

Tropical themed bedrooms are always a hit for kids, but creating an island paradise that will still be appropriate when your toddler is a teen can be challenging. Subtlety is key here. Use beach colors like aqua and blue for the walls or furniture and instead of carpeting, go for a wood floor that gives the room a more beach bungalow feel. For small children, use some tropical-inspired rugs to make the play surface safer, and use shells and hibiscus flowers to complement your design. You can also use bamboo and wicker for furniture and blinds in the room, and frame artwork featuring mermaids, dolphins, and sailboats for the walls.

Hollywood Glitz

Most young girls love to play dress up, and teens may also be very into fashion. A Hollywood glitz and glam room can be great for themed bedrooms. Instead of a traditional dresser, chose a vanity, which your daughter will appreciate when she's in high school, and instead of a wallpaper border, string white Christmas lights around the room that can be kept up all year. Use clear beads that give the illusion of diamonds in the window treatment and for a chandelier-like lighting fixture and add a few touches of animal prints in pillows, throw rugs, etc. for a little fun.

Remember, your toddle may not grow up to like the style you chose, so be prepared for your tomboy teen to hate her garden-inspired room or your cheerleader to have an issue with the beach theme you picked. The good news is that no matter what theme you use today, if you switch out the accessories, she'll love it tomorrow. Avoid huge decor choices that are hard to change, because you want her room to grow with her tastes.

Nauti Intentions by Lora Leigh

Nauti Intentions is the 4th book in the Nauti Boy series. I've read the previous three, so it was no surprise when I picked this one up and devoured it. I'm a huge Lora Leigh fan and am amazed at her ability to write so many different series (The Breed Series, Tempting Seals Series, Elite Ops Series, etc.) In all of Miss Leigh's books you are guaranteed three things.

1. An extremely testosterone driven alpha male with a capital A.
2. Some serious sexual and emotional tension between the hero and heroine.
3. Lots and lots of action and suspense.
4. Oh, and one more thing, a well written story that keeps you turning the pages.

I must admit that there are many times when a very small part of my brain thinks, Marisa, "what up?" You are so not the kind of woman who gets into all this testosterone laden, bullets flying, 'I am man you are woman' kind of thing. But guess what? It seems I am. And the reason I am is because Lora sells it, and I buy it. She sells it by making sure her heroines are not the kind of women who run away from the ax murder in high heels screaming at the top of their lungs and falling down in a dark alley as their high heels break before the ax swings upon their lovely necks. That is to say, her heroines are the kind of women who say 'I am woman, you are man'. Miss Leigh also has the ability to pull you in so you want more and you race to the end to find out not only who is behind whatever mystery needs to be solved but how two very strong protagonists will find a way to be together.

Miss Leigh always seems to stack the deck against her heroes and heroines and Nauti Intentions is no exception. The book opens with Janey MacKay (sister of Natches from Nauti Dreams) being drugged and held against her will by her father (a terrorist) and her aunt (a very twisted woman). She is rescued by her brother Natches and his friend Major Alex Jansen. Alex has wanted Janey since she was 17 - but being fourteen years older than Janey and a man of honor - he stays in the shadows and hovers sticking to the directive he has been given by his friend Natches - "watch over my sister, take care of her".

After being rescued Janey continues to live in her home town and run her family's restaurant despite the fact that she is shunned and gossiped about due to her father's terrorist activities. If that wasn't enough, she's being stalked. Yes, Miss Leigh gives her heroines many obstacles to overcome. And with the sexual tension and lust flying between her and Alex, and Alex continuing to be a man of honor and keeping his distance, she ratchets up the tension just a few degrees more. Alex certainly wants Janey, but her youth is a deterrent, it keeps him at bay. Janey wants Alex and is frustrated by his 'code of honor'.

I love that very clear and simple time tested dynamic between the hero and heroine. No fuss, no muss. I want you but I can't have you. Skilled authors like Ms. Leigh make this clean through line of tension come alive when the hero or heroine is a person in danger. With Janey being stalked Alex is not going to stay too far away from the woman he loves and will do everything in his power to protect her. This is where one sighs and says 'now you're talking'. And in that intense heightened sense of danger Janey and Alex find each other, they dance the dance. It's quick, sharp, passionate and powerful.

Nauti Intentions is a great addition to the Nauti Boys series, with many of the characters from the other books making an appearance (which I always enjoy). I'm looking forward to more books about this family and their friends, more alpha males with a capital A, more suspense, and more romance.

Romantic Red For the Bedroom

Add the right zing to your bedroom:

The bed in the bedroom can be in contemporary design thus adding that extra space required in the room. The head rest made of leather can be in dark brown which matches perfectly with the bed. To add the right zing and the right streak of color you can use the red duvet which is a symbol of passion and love as well as enthusiasm and energy.

Arrange lamp shades in the bedroom so that they make the bedroom well lit. The rest of the lighting can be arranged in different angles through the windows which allow the right play of shadow and light in the bedroom. It is a good idea to have the lamp shades in red.

Accessories in red:

Sitting and relaxing in the bedroom is a common thing. To store all your albums containing precious memories and all your knick knacks you can have a chest at one end of the red bed. A red chair made of teak and other small pieces of furniture around the bedroom with red upholstery can look quite interesting. At one end of the bed you can have a stocky legged stool with a television set on the other side of the room which you can watch sitting comfortably on the bed. No need to dress the windows when you have panes of frosted glass fixed on them, which is an innovative way of not dressing the windows.

Right behind the bed you can have picture frames on the wall, and the side tables can have them too. The red master bedroom theme can be made quite interesting with grey walls in the bedroom. Such color combinations never came together harmoniously as they are today. Red, brown, light brown, grey as well the red color which arouses passion, form a combination that is awe inspiring. Ambitious people are known to use a lot of red color in bedrooms. The red color has a positive effect on your mind when you wake up in the morning, thinking clearly and then getting set for the day to achieve your goals.

Bedroom Fashions for Newly-Wedded Couples

Bedroom fashions for newly wedded couples take some major compromise unless one of the members of the couple could care less! And, that is not usually the case so couples must consider whether they want a full size captain bed or a captions bed or perhaps if adjustable linens would be something they are interested in. There are a lot of current styles for newly wedded couples to consider when it comes to bedroom fashions and there are some tips as well to help make the purchase go as smoothly as possible.

First of all, newly wedded couples are generally on a budget and that means that they should be extra careful about spending a lot of money on bedroom fashions. Trends change and if the couple will regret their purchase in five years then they should never have made it. So, the best thing to do is find a bedroom suite that is acceptable to both the man and woman in the relationship that they both feel they will like for at least 10 years down the road if not more. Beds made of dark wood and with simple lines are always a good and elegant choice. They match everything and will always be beautiful and stylish no matter what is in style. Keep this in mind when you enter a store and think how stylish one particular bedroom suite is. If you feel you can live with it for at least 10 years if not forever then go for it. If you aren't quite sure find one that fits this criterion.

If you buy a bedroom suite, which will likely cost you upwards of a thousand dollars, then you can be a little more playful with your comforter and linens. That's because these are easy to change when you are tired of a specific color or style. Buy sheets that are bright and bold colors and a duvet cover that matches. But, when you are tired of this trend buy some sheets that are patterned or in lighter colors. Whatever the trend it is a lot easier to play around with your sheets and other linens than it is with your actual bed!

If all newly wedded couples follow this advice they will find that they love their bedroom furniture and the versatility of changing sheets and comforter sets as they like new colors or choose to paint the walls. Make life easy and think ahead before you buy furniture and your marriage will be smooth sailing!

Wild kittens move in (then we tame them)

A friend trapped 3 wild kittens that were around 6 to 8 weeks old, she kept one and I took the other two. They lived in the bathroom for a couple weeks, the dresser drawer in our bedroom for a couple weeks, the bedroom closet for a while and then moved to the rest of the house with us. This is the journey. Enjoy.

Bridal Lingerie

The lingerie is one of the most intimate pieces of clothing that a woman would ever wear, and the bridal lingerie is no exception. The bridal lingerie is one that is in fact subject to much fuss and ado among the bride and her closest friends and families long before the wedding event itself begins. Even the manufacturers of the bridal lingerie are aware of this fact, and careful planning and consideration is given to the production of the bridal lingerie.

Most manufacturers often shy away from using silk material in the production of lingerie for women, but the bridal lingerie is not like any other. It is a lingerie that has only one occasion in mind - the wedding night. So whereas other lingerie are made to last through the wear of continuous use, the bridal lingerie instead focuses its attention on creating just one spectacular first impression - and nothing does that better than silk does. Silk is a material that gently hugs a woman's curved frame and sensuously defines her essence that makes her a woman. It is a material that is both divine to the touch and comfortable to wear.

Bridal lingerie takes many forms - the lingerie version of the bridal gown being the most innovative. A bride obviously wants to wear her own wedding gown for as long as is possible on the wedding day, for it is the only day that she would ever wear such a dress again; it is the only day that would ever be solely about her again. So why not extend such a desire into the bedroom? The bridal dress lingerie can be a mini version of the wedding dress or it can be the alluring two-piece outfit. The bridal dress lingerie is one of the most charming lingerie that the new bride could choose - regardless of if your style is baby doll or corset, mini dress or mini skirt, sheer or stretch. Most bridal dress lingerie comes with several pieces which could include the wedding veil, the matching gloves and the leg garter.

Other types of sultry bridal lingerie that the bride-to-be could explore or consider include the chemise lingerie and the gown lingerie. Both of these lingerie are dress lingerie as well, but one is short whereas the other is long. Either of these dress lingerie however is the sophisticated lingerie that the hesitant new bride would choose for the first night together with her new husband. It is both a modest lingerie as well as a divinely alluring one - it can be the lace lingerie or the stretch lace lingerie; it can be the sheer lingerie or the robed lingerie.

Whichever lingerie the new bride chooses however, it most definitely would set the mood for romance and make the new bride feel like the princess that she should be in her new husband's eyes.

Add a Tropical Burst of Relaxation and Fun to Your Bedroom With Hawaiian Decor

Looking for an interesting theme for your bedroom? Why not delve into the exotic world of tropical themes, and use Hawaiian décor to create your own personal paradise. If you are a more conservative decorator, or have never decorated in a theme before, a Hawaiian or island theme may seem a little excessive for your bedroom. However, in actuality, because there are so many elements to Hawaiian décor, you can make your bedroom as extravagant or basic as you want.

The following are some ideas for you to think about when putting together such a theme for your bedroom:

Walls - There are many ways you can color your walls. If you would like to keep it simple, a clean neutral shade of brown such as sand or a light taupe, or a warm white are excellent paint choices. For those who would prefer a more dynamic wall, consider painting the wall a bright but soft yellow, blue or green.

On the other hand, if you are feeling creative, you could paint a beach wall mural, or purchase a ready made mural, such as a Hawaiian sunset, and paste it on the wall. In addition, don't forget, there are always palm tree, palm leaf, and floral wallpaper if you like prints.

Floors - Deep red-brown, chestnut, or sand colored wood floors are the perfect compliment for any Hawaiian décor. If hard wood floors are out of your budget, consider laminate. Conversely, if carpet is preferred, a nice light or dark shade of brown, ocean blue, sea green or light green are all ideal choices.

Doors and Moldings - These elements of the room should be colored in a dark and rich brown such as oak or cherry to blend nicely with the rest of the room.

Window treatments - The best window treatments for Hawaiian décor are wooden shutters, or bamboo blinds. You can leave these window treatments as is, or you can provide them with a little more oomph by adding a delicate white sheer curtain.

Lighting - A wood ceiling fan, especially one with blades in the shape of palm leaves, is ideal for the Hawaiian theme. If a ceiling fan is out of the question, opt for any other basic ceiling light, as your goal is to not make the ceiling light a focal point of the room. Hula dancer lamps, palm tree lamps, or pineapple lamps are also fun décor pieces for bedside tables or end tables.

Bedding - In regards to bedding, you essentially have two options. Either choose a solid color for your quilt or comforter, or choose a print. If you choose a solid color, you can add printed throw pillows to dress up your bed. However, if you choose a print, such as orchids or palm leaves, make sure you accent throw pillows and walls with solid colors. It is imperative that the room doesn't carry too many prints or it will look to busy and intimidating.

Furniture - Wood furniture is definitely the way to go. If you cannot obtain solid wood furniture, opt for bamboo, or dark faux wood furniture. That being said, don't overload your space with furniture, as your goal is to create an open space. Therefore, make sure you include all essential furniture pieces first (I.E. bed, dresser, chest of drawers and bedside table). If you still have room than you can add any other furniture such as end tables, sitting chair, shelves, armoire, etc.

Accessories - Other Hawaiian décor you may wish to add to the room include:

o Palm plant (real or artificial)

o Vase of artificial orchids

o Wall tapestries of palm trees, orchids or palm leaves

o Authentic Hawaiian art

o Pictures of palm trees, orchids, a beach, Hawaiian architecture, hula girl, or actual framed photographs taken in Hawaii, etc.

Note: wooden frames are best for pictures or wall art.

o Area rug with flower or palm leaf

o Plain or decorative bamboo or wooden screen

o Throw pillows with floral or palm leaf pattern.

o Bamboo chair

When it comes to using Hawaiian décor for your bedroom, there are plenty of options to choose from. Your decisions will be based on your budget and your own personal taste. Therefore, make sure you shop around and look for different items before making any final decisions. Finally, trust your own judgment and don't be afraid to be creative when putting together your bedroom. Take your time, and have fun!

Bedroom Design - Design Your Dream Bedroom

The ideal room

Make a list of what you want from a bedroom. Do you need a room you can escape to, watch TV, work or just sleep in? Do you want a really big bed or lots of storage? Do you like a particular look? Be realistic about what you can achieve in the space you have.

The plan

Start by sketching a plan of the structural elements, like the chimney breast, windows and doors - basically the things that can't be moved. Then experiment with the position of the key pieces - the bed, wardrobes, chests, remembering that you need space for drawers to open and to walk around the bed.

The bed

Go for the biggest bed you can. Disturbance from a partner is one of the commonest cause of sleep complaints. As to where to position it, most choose the obvious and put the headboard up against a wall, but a little lateral thinking might free up valuable wall space. Try moving your bed into the centre of the room and using the wall behind for a wardrobe with sliding doors. Even if you don't believe in feng shui, it's better to plan your room so your bed isn't right behind the door as it can make the room feel quite closed in.

The built-in option

As fitted bedroom furniture goes from the floor to the ceiling, there are no gaps. This means less dusting and makes the most of awkward areas like sloping ceilings. Also when you use the full height of a wall you can create useful high cupboards for storing little used items like hats and extra bedding. What many people like about fitted bedrooms is the opportunity to choose their own co-ordinated scheme.

The freestanding option

If you like the look(and portability) of freestanding wardobes and chests, check they have the internal fittings you'll need. Look at your clothes and decide what will be useful - drawers for folding jumpers, shelves for shoes and full-length hanging space for party dresses and winter coats. Take advantage of the trend for customising pieces to get the exact combination and look you want. For instance, BoConcept not only sells different-sized chests and wardrobes, you can also choose handles, legs and wood finish.

The inside of your wardrobe

Whether you go for a fitted or freestanding option, the secret to a relaxing bedroom can lie behind the cupboard doors. So devote as much time to planning the inside as you do to choosing the wardrobe itself. You'll be amazed how many more closes you can fit in with double-height hanging rails, drawers with dividers and fully extendable drawers that mean you can get to things right at the back. Ikea and The Holding Company sell great space-saving accessories.

The flooring

As your bedroom gets much less traffic than other rooms, you can have more textured carpets - like a loop-pile - and choose paler shades than you might use downstairs. Wood floors - either solid or engineered - and laminates are becoming more popular in the bedroom and can be combined with underfloor heating. If you're unsure about the minimalist look, add comfort by having a deep-pile rug next to the bed.

The lighting

Don't leave the lighting to the end - particularly if you are going to need extra sockets or want to fit wall lights. The basic rule is that bedrooms need to be bright in the morning and atmospheric at night. Fitting a dimmer switch and having bedside lamps helps achieve this balance. You can also use lighting to highlight features, for instance, line the front of your wardrobes with discreet low-voltage downlighters.

The look

Your bedroom is one room in which you can give your personality full rein, so don't be afraid to try out a scheme that might be a bit much in the living room. Glamour looks work well, with daring colour schemes and glam elements, like mirrored furniture, metallics and white leather. Or opt for dark woods for smart, grown-up luxury.

The atmosphere

Don't forget that your bedroom should be a room in which you feel truly relaxed. That way you have much more chance of getting a good night's sleep. If you must have a television or computer in your bedroom, create as much separation space between them and your sleeping area as you can. Ideally, it's best to have them built in, so that they can be hidden away when not in use.

Dress Up an Outdated Ceiling Fan with Tissue Paper: Using 11 Simple Steps

Have you ever noticed that after you redecorated one of your rooms, you glanced up to find your outdated ceiling fixture standing out like a sore thumb? After deciding to revamp one of my bedrooms inspired by a Safari theme, I realized that my old, outdated ceiling fan lacked continuity with the new décor. With an already overextended budget, replacement light fixtures were relatively expensive. However, with a little bit of creativity, I discovered a cost effective solution to this accessory dilemma. Using some inexpensive and recycled items, you can easily revamp your existing ceiling fan, to make it a unique focal point.

Here are the materials needed:

o Tissue Paper (your choice)

o White craft glue (or decoupage paste)

o Water

o Disposable plastic cup

o Scissors

o Fan Blades (purchase new blades if you prefer)

o Scotch or Double Sided Tape

o Sponge Brush

o Cotton rags (for cleanup)

o Plastic knife or wooden stirrer

o Disposable gloves

o Polyurethane or Crystal Clear Gloss Spray

o Sheer stain or tinted glaze

o Ahl or Ice Pick

o Four to Five wire hangers

o Glass globes (if applicable)

o Glass paint or paint markers (optional)

The following eleven steps will help you coordinate your outdated ceiling fan with the rest of your room:

1. Begin with clean blades by removing and cleaning existing blades from your ceiling fan.

2. Cut the tissue paper twice the size of your blade. Don't worry about cutting your paper in the exact shape of the fan blade. A rectangular pattern will suffice.

3. Put on disposable gloves. Form the paste by mixing one part water to one part white craft glue in a disposable plastic cup. If you prefer, you can use decoupage paste instead of the glue mixture. Execute in a well ventilated area.

4. Apply paste solution using a sponge brush to coat both sides of the blades.

5. Gently lay your tissue paper over the coated area and brush another coat of paste over the paper to saturate and ensure that the two materials adhere. Don't worry about overlapping or completely smoothing the paper, because the little folds and creases add character and texture.

6. With an ahl or ice pick, pierce the paper through the top center hole on the fan blade. Gently guide the "hook" end of a wire hanger through the pierced hole and hang the blade from an elevated surface. Keep anything from brushing up against your blades that would interfere with the drying process.

7. (Optional) After blades are dried, if you want to obtain an antiqued appearance, apply a sheer coat of stain or tinted glaze over them.

8. Allow to dry completely, then brush on a thin coat of polyurethane or spray the blades lightly with a coat of crystal clear gloss. This seals the paper while adding a subtle sheen to the surface.

9. After your blades are completely dry, pierce the paper with your ahl or ice pick in the location of the other screw holes and reattach them to the fan's frame.

10. If the neck of your ceiling fan is short, you could tape a little bit of your tissue paper around this area. If the neck has a long stem, you could wrap some complimentary fabric around it and secure with Velcro. Ensure that nothing is obstructing the motor's ventilation and operational systems while in use.

11. (Optional) Embellish your control chain pulls with beads, crystals or lightweight finials. You can also add a decorative accent to your existing light globe or glass covers, by using paint designed for such surfaces.

Be creative when reviving your light fixture. Overall, this project will run between five to twenty dollars, depending on the materials you have on hand, as well as your extent of embellishments used. This makeover is lightweight and should not cause undue strain on the fan's operational system, depending on its current condition. Consider the drying time in regard to temperature, proper ventilation and the number of accents applied. This project should take a day to complete. Now, stand back and enjoy your refurbished, one of a kind, ceiling accessory.

3 Fun Ways to Dress Up a Wall

Are your walls a bore-fest? If so, they don't need to be. The ' fine art' in adding art on a wall is not what the item is, but what it means to you! You can have a priceless painting on your wall, but unless you really truly love the art - then it is only costly but not valuable.

To live a delicious life at home, we need to surround ourselves with items we love - including the walls.

So, want fun ways can you dress up (decorate) your walls with? Here are 3 ways with the added ingredients of 'fun'

1. WITH PAINT

Try not simply painting your walls with your favorite colors, but try adding patterns on your walls for that extra pizzazz. Add:

o stripes
o circles
o waves

Perhaps not all at the same time, or even on every wall of the room, but do intrigue the eye with a creative flair on a wall using simple patterns that make a huge and fun impact.

2. WITH PICTURES

Why go same-old-route style and hang 8 x 10 or 16 x 20 pictures when you can go greater - bigger - LARGER! Blow up the size of some of your favorite photos (children, pets, vacation, etc.) and hang it up as the 'work of art' that it is - your life! Also, you may want to:

o convert pictures to black and white for a classic look and attach to color paper (colors that are complementary to your room), then insert into a black frame
o convert pictures to Warhol colorful tones like the picture attached. A website that can convert your photos to warhol art is www.photowow.com

3. WITH FABRIC:

'Fun' your walls with fabric artwork that have colors and patterns that you LOVE! Stretch or pull the fabric over a frame and staple the fabric on the backside. Mix and match colors and patterns that go well with your rooms. If you have left over fabric make toss pillows for your living room sofa, cushions for your dining room, decorative pillows for your bedroom. As for the frame - you can try using:

o plywood (most Home Depot's could cut a specified size for you)
o corkboard
o foamboard

What makes a wall paint go from 'nice' to 'great' is the added ingredient of unexpected fun shapes and textures. So, what does your wall say?

For example, the story of A Walk to Remember was inspired by the life of his sister, Danielle Sparks.
