			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Amazing Spiderman has been a favorite super hero for decades. So here is a great opportunity for dads and moms to not only be in the know with their kids, but to relive a bit of their own heroic childhoods!<a href="http://www.kimmyshop.com/cartoon-toys/spider-man/spiderman-comforter.html"><img class="alignright" title="Spiderman Comforter" src="http://kshopbucket.s3.amazonaws.com/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/135x135/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/3/0/3029485.jpg" alt="Spiderman Comforter" width="135" height="135" /></a></p>
<p>Kids look to super heroes (as well as their super moms and dads, of course), and having a Spiderman decor right in a kid&#8217;s own room is a great place for those developing great aspirations.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>The Kids as Heroes</strong></p>
<p>Kids love comic book heroes. And, both boys and girls today know the story of this teenage boy who had a little accident with a radioactive spider, and from then on had the abilities to climb walls and ceilings, and with his amazing “Spider Sense,” able to sense any approaching danger. And because of this, every child becomes a Spiderman, (or woman!) scaling their jungle gyms and climbing walls. But know this important thing&#8211;the powerful message of Spiderman in all his Spider decor is to be able to gather your inner strengths. This makes Spidy the perfect theme for kids, and <strong>Spiderman room decor</strong> right in their own bedrooms gives them a home base for keeping that idea growing.</p>
<p><strong>The Web Head’s Web Bed</strong></p>
<p>Kids today don&#8217;t want to be softies, so Spiderman bedding is power packed with the reminder to reach out for doing good deeds like Spidey. The cool Spiderman bedding available online shows the hero shooting webs from his wrists, enabling him to easily jump and swing from one place to another&#8230;and kids certainly want him right there climbing their own walls!</p>
<p>Spiderman can’t fly like Superman, or Peter Pan, but  it&#8217;s way cooler to climb the walls and ceilings, and jump with great leaps and land softly. A nice soft landing is provided by a neat Spiderman comforter. Yet the comforter itself, like  Spiderman, reminds kids that “with great power comes great responsibility” and gives kids the impetus to take responsibility to make that bed, clean their room and do other heroic chores around the house.</p>
<p>The terrific <strong><a title="Spiderman bed sheets" href="http://www.kimmyshop.com/cartoon-toys/spider-man.html?department=201" target="_blank">Spider man bedding</a></strong> available online has a perfect pillow case so that Spidey sits right at their mascot&#8217;s head.</p>
<p><strong>The Wall Crawler on the Walls</strong></p>
<p>For an additional zing, use one of the Spiderman sheets for a whole wall hanging via curtain rod, or choose some of the various designs of specialty Spider man wallpapers. Spidey is there to grab onto your child&#8217;s bedposts, or hand, because these designs really bring him to life. Check out the designs in Spider man decals and wallpaper where Spider man is up on top looking down&#8211;a cool perspective that continues to give kids a good sense of empowerment.</p>
<p>Kids in the know about Spiderman also have internalized the great lesson of this story&#8211;that with great power comes great responsibility. What better theme could you want in his or her own room! The Spiderman pop up hamper is a sure hit with helping kids pick up toys or gather up dirty laundry. And the Spiderman waste basket keeps your little Spidey remembering there is a place for all things, and that includes garbage.</p>
<p>Parents often speak about their kids &#8220;climbing the walls&#8221; but with Spiderman wallpapers and decals, and posters they&#8217;re all climbing the walls indeed! Many moms have also added their own simple painted murals of skyscrapers&#8211;often notable landmarks like the Empire State building. With skyscrapers it&#8217;s really only a matter of ruling out straight lines, and many many windows. Kids can paint in the buildings.<br />
<strong><br />
Girls Dig Spidey Too</strong></p>
<p>Now Spiderman is not always just for boys, not all girls are pinkalicious and many girls,  as well as boys, will choose the bold, bright vibrant red, blue and white of Spiderman decor as their faves. These colors are alive, that must be why they call red and blue the primary colors. For a touch of zaniness, humor or thrills and chills, add some constructed or bought spider webs and spiders, and spider stickers, as decorative accents. Make sure their door announces and warns “Super-Villains Beware” to all who enter with Spiderman decals or posters.</p>
<p>Your young Spideys can pack a few spider treats in his or her Amazing Spiderman Tin Carry All, and bring them to bath time fun, finishing off with that ample Spiderman beach towel.<br />
<strong><br />
Amazing Playtime</strong></p>
<p>Room games are also great with Spidey right in their own bedrooms. Playtime get togethers are fun with the Spiderman 3D image floor puzzle. Maybe they have their camera handy to be Peter Parker getting a good story for <a href="http://www.kimmyshop.com/cartoon-toys/spider-man/spiderman-puzzles.html"><img class="alignleft" title="Spiderman Puzzle" src="http://kshopbucket.s3.amazonaws.com/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/135x135/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/i/m/img_5267.jpg" alt="Spiderman Puzzle" width="135" height="135" /></a>the Dailey Bugle. What&#8217;s the story about? Kids will create their own themes, or maybe it&#8217;s the Green Goblin on the loose and Spidey needs their help, so Jayson and Ray move on with the Spiderman Triple Battle Truck to the scene of the crime to scale some skyscrapers.</p>
<p>If your kids have a computer in their room, there is a wonderful, safe, educational site with Spiderman printables and projects, sponsored by the US Dept of Education as a response to the America Reads Challenge.</p>
<p>Now here&#8217;s another suggestion for a little break from the computer world. Remember those pinball machines good kids got to congregate around? Well, you can get a Spiderman electronic tabletop pinball machine right online. It&#8217;s good clean fun for the family!</p>
<p>So swing into action and comfort with everyone’s favorite web-slinger and <strong><a title="Spiderman bedding" href="http://www.kimmyshop.com/cartoon-toys/spider-man.html?department=201" target="_blank">Spider Man Room Decor.</a></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kids and toys you can&#8217;t separate them from morning to night. Kids go to bed holding Jesse or Buzz or Rex, and wake up snuggling with Lotso Hugging bear, because he&#8217;s so &#8220;weird and funny&#8221; as 6 year old Jessica says. So what could mean more to kids than toy story room decor, surrounded by all their stand by me friends. Randy Newman’s “We Belong Together” from Toy Story 3 took the Oscar for best original song, with good reason! The Toy Story gang should never be separated, so if you&#8217;re missing any of those characters, please do check them out and into the kids arms with easy online purchases.</p>
<p>Kids love as many toys piled into their bedrooms as possible. But it is one major part of their learning and growing as they create their stories in their own space. And just like the Toy Story movie, their toys do have personalities and do come to life&#8211;for them.</p>
<h3>A Bed&#8217;s a Place for Toy Story Dreams&#8211; Asleep or Awake</h3>
<p>Brave boy Sean snuggles into his special <strong>Toy Story toddler bed</strong>, and says hello to his comforting pals right there on his toy story bedding. Sean thinks he&#8217;s too old for good night kisses from mom right now, but he&#8217;s ready to plan his dreams with Buzz and Woody and Rex reaching right out to him from the vivid <strong><a title="Toy Story Bedding" href="http://www.kimmyshop.com/cartoon-toys/toy-story/disney-pixar-toy-story-twin-comforter.html" target="_blank">Toy Story bed sheets</a></strong>.  These planet Earth toned, cool and perfect Toy Story twin size bedding soothes. Some kids love to find the Disney label on their sheets, a part of I spy games, and of course Disney Toy Story bedding gives them that opportunity. For cold nights, the comforter with Buzz Lightyear to the rescue is great for the extra snuggles.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 145px"><a href="http://www.kimmyshop.com/cartoon-toys/toy-story/toy-story-sheets.html"><img class=" " style="margin: 2px; border: 2px solid black;" title="Toy Story Bedding" src="http://kshopbucket.s3.amazonaws.com/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/135x135/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/t/s/tstwinsheets.jpg" alt="Toy Story Bedding" width="135" height="135" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Toy Story Bedding</p></div>
<p>You can get all these specialty Toy Story bedding and sheet sets right online, and a host other room decorations too&#8211;that&#8217;s a real party!</p>
<h3>To The Bedcovers&#8230; and Beyond</h3>
<p>When the day&#8217;s activities finally comes to a close,  turning out the light becomes a joy, too, because there is Woody and Buzz on a Toy Story light switch to say a personal good night to infinity and beyond.</p>
<p>Seven year old Jason says, &#8220;I go to sleep with Buzz and boom, it&#8217;s morning.&#8221;  And Jason can see that indeed it&#8217;s morning on his unique Toy Story alarm clock. And when it&#8217;s finally play time, his digital wall clock lets him know, with the toy story group&#8217;s greeting, &#8220;we came to play.&#8221;</p>
<p>Not to forget Jesse the yodeling cowgirl, Lana, does practice her yodeling with Jesse in the privacy of her bedroom, right along with the Toy Story clan applauding her on from her very own bedsheets.</p>
<h3>There’s A Snake in My Boots – and On my Walls and Covers too!</h3>
<p>A Toy Story bedroom is one of the amazing unisex themes, there are enough beloved characters to please any finicky friend. There is a character anyone can relate to in the Toy Story Gang: rough tough Jessie, terrifying Rex, the potato heads so in love, loyal slinky, trusty Bullseye, Ham the great actor, Barbie and Ken, and of course Buzz and Woody. The girls Millie, Victoria and Lyn set up Jesse, Woody Buzz, Bullseye, and lots of props from their toy basket and told me &#8220;we&#8217;re in the desert, prickly cactus around, snakes, and there&#8217;s no water and there is danger ahead.” The story continues to unfold with the cast of Toy Story characters arriving on many inventive locomotive devices, train, stage coaches, and of course Buzz zooming in on his spaceship made from a shoe box, or even just an old shoe!</p>
<p>The Toy Story wall decor just adds to the whole scene like being in a theater. The walls are decorated with the perfect Toy Story wall decals with the special easy to peel and stick decorative tiles, and the easy Toy Story self stick mini mural. The mural is great for the sci fi theme playing with Buzz charging forth with a trusty space ranger standing by.  There are posters, and the whole production can be set right on the unique Toy Story EVA Foam floor mat made for toy story fans. As always, get these items online, so easy peezy.</p>
<h3>Lessons Learned at Home with Toy Story</h3>
<p>Toy Story room ideas really can make a kid&#8217;s room cozy and useful at the same time. Kids won&#8217;t need to be reminded to</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 145px"><a href="http://www.kimmyshop.com/cartoon-toys/toy-story/toy-story-room-decor-accessories.html"><img style="margin: 2px; border: 2px solid black;" title="Disney Pixar Toy Story Waste Basket" src="http://kshopbucket.s3.amazonaws.com/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/135x135/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/i/m/img_5330.jpg" alt="Disney Pixar Toy Story Waste Basket" width="135" height="135" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Disney Pixar Toy Story Waste Basket</p></div>
<p>pick up their clothes with a unique Woody and Buzz storage hamper bin, complete with the design of flashing neon rays of light Cowboys and Space Rangers do not litter, and neither will your little one with Woody and Buzz waiting to make the catch of the good toss into the Toy Story waste basket. In fact, Joely put bullying, bossy, unfair Lotso into the wastebasket to teach him a lesson about fairness, just like in the movie. Of course, after seeing Toy Story Three she did this with care to make sure her toys were handled with tenderness!</p>
<p>Finally after a long afternoon of hard play acting, there&#8217;s a unique blanket with sleeves, a comfy fleece throw that won&#8217;t fall off and leaves hand free in the sleeves to work, snuggle or work the remotes.</p>
<p>Just like the classic original Toy Story song, “You’ve got a Friend in Me” a blanket or a beds sheet is on old comforting friend that you’ll want to love forever. Toy Story characters build friendships that both kids and parents can count on.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even though Tinkerbell may be a Disney classic, this is still one of the most popular themes for a children&#8217;s room! If you&#8217;re interested in designing a <strong>Tinkerbell room</strong>, there are a number of popular choices in <strong>Tinkerbell bed room sets</strong> that you can use for your daughter to make her room even more customized and suitable to her personality.</p>
<p>The important thing to keep in mind is that designing a child’s room does not have to be as expensive as it may seem. We all know that little girls love to have their own sense of style and personality, so the <a href="http://www.kimmyshop.com/category/room-decor.html?character=127">Tinkerbell room decor</a> will be perfect for your daughter to give her exactly what she is looking for. To begin your project, it is key to start shopping for the right wallpaper. This will give you the chance to quickly decorate the walls of the room with the <strong>Tinkerbell room theme</strong> so that your daughter can get started in enjoying her own personal space. If you are not experienced with applying wallpaper, make sure that you research it online or at your local hardware store so that you understand how to remove the old wallpaper, prime the wall, and apply the new wallpaper for your daughter&#8217;s room.</p>
<p>From there, it is time to start shopping for Tinkerbell room decor accessories! The key point to keep in mind for any child&#8217;s room decor is that the accessories you choose should be based on the interests and age of your child. If you are designing a room for a toddler, you may want to get a few plush toys and even a mobile if your toddler is still sleeping in a crib. These are some of the same accessories that you can use for a baby themed room to give it a subtle touch for your new bundle of joy!</p>
<p>If your daughter is somewhat older, you may want to purchase a small table or desk for her to use. To complement these furniture choices, you can also use more modern accessories, like a lamp to place on the desk, an alarm clock, and especially a Tinkerbell room in a box, which may include matching bed and pillow sets. Depending upon the age of your child, the approach you take toward these room themes will be much different.</p>
<p>As a last note, it is always important to stay simple. No matter how many glittery and adorable accessories your daughter may want to add to her room, it will look much more put together if you maintain a minimalist approach in your overall decoration style.</p>
<p>Of course, this Disney inspired theme is always a classic favorite, so it is important to shop for the most affordable choices in room decor. You may be surprised to find that ordering online is your best option in choosing Tinkerbell room decoration supplies, like wallpaper, bedding, and even lamps and clocks. With the right approach to this project, your daughter will have a room that she loves to spend time in and show off to her friends, making it an ultimate success in your room decoration project!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A <a href="http://www.kimmyshop.com/category.html?character=7">Finding Nemo bedroom</a> can be something of an achievement, particularly if you take the time to make the effort when decorating. There are all sorts of things that you could do in order to theme the room, with Finding Nemo wall stickers just one of the things to consider. In this article, we are going to look at the best ways to design a Finding Nemo room.</p>
<p>Naturally, one of the first things to consider are the things which are the bread and butter when designing a bedroom: the colour of the walls. You will know that Finding Nemo is almost entirely based in an aquatic setting, so opting to paint the walls light blue could be something to consider. This, when combined with nice, open windows, could really give the room an airy and delightful feel.</p>
<p>From here, you can then add Finding Nemo wall art so the bedroom will be something of an aquarium for your children. There are Finding Nemo wall decals which consist of the main characters which appear in the movie – something which can be a really thoughtful touch.</p>
<p>A Finding Nemo kids room should also be furnished with many different soft areas to sit and play, and even some toys of the key characters from the film, like Nemo and Dory. The extent that you go to could depend on the size of the room, but the main colours of beanbags or soft stools could be orange, as this coordinates with Nemo colours.</p>
<p>Of course, the bedding is another thing to consider, as the beds can be one of the main focal points of the room. There are a number of bedding sets that include Nemo-themed duvets, pillowcases and other items which are guaranteed to make any <strong>Finding Nemo bedroom</strong> looking inspired.</p>
<p>Finding Nemo wall decorations could include pictures from the film itself, or even Finding Nemo wall art with paintings of some of the characters in key scenes. The only limit to the potential of the Finding Nemo wall décor is the person who is responsible for making the room as themed as possible.</p>
<p>For those who love the film, there are plenty of different forms of merchandise which can be used to give that room that thoughtful touch – including Finding Nemo-related clocks and other items. If you really want to go for the fully-themed look, some of the other things to consider can include suspended toys of characters from the film – or, for something that little bit different, you could consider going for some non-descript fish in order to give the room that little bit more.</p>
<p>No two bedrooms which are using a <strong>Finding Nemo bedroom</strong> theme should ever need to look the same – particularly with the large amount of merchandise that is in stores now. The large amount of products means that you can even choose Finding Nemo wall art which matches a person’s mood and personality – making it a place for them to calm down at the end of a long day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you grew up knowing and loving Winnie the Pooh, then you will definitely appreciate the reason for your children loving a pooh and friends room as much as they do. Winnie the Pooh has endeared himself along with his friends Tigger, Rabbit and Piglet among others to generations of kids and then parents. The general idea these days is not just to read about Winnie the Pooh or watch the Disney productions but to actually live in a Winnie the Pooh room. How is this possible? It is simply by infusing the character into the private space of the children. Of course, this is with their permission. Actually it is what they want.</p>
<p>So, in doing this, you will have to task your creativity a bit. It is really fun though and you are sure to enjoy every step of the way. Here are some ideas I used in putting together a Winnie the Pooh bath room décor and bedroom for my children.</p>
<p>First, I really wanted to make sure that all the materials used in the room including murals for a kids room Winnie the Pooh rhymed and provided a steady pattern. I was able to achieve this by choosing a color scheme for the room which could blend with the Winnie the Pooh room collection and pictures that would be present on the various materials. Yellow and red were the two major colors that I chose and they all worked well. I simply painted the upper parts of the wall in soft yellow while the lower parts were in red and then where the two colors met, I lined it with Winnie the Pooh wall border. This should do well for a toddler girl winnie the pooh room.</p>
<p>In order to make sure that the materials for the window curtains and the beddings rhyme with the  winnie the pooh theme room, I bought Winnie the Pooh fabric and had pleated curtains sewn along with a duvet for the bed and matching pillow cases. This helped to provide a classic pooh room décor.</p>
<p>On different parts of the wall, I pasted lifesize cutouts of Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore. These looked really nice and quite complimented the color and general theme of the room.</p>
<p>I recommend using stickers to ‘spice up’ the existing furniture especially if you are designing a Winnie the Pooh infants room. This is basically because of the expense involved in buying new themed furniture. All you need to do is buy a number of Winnie the Pooh stickers and paste them all over the bed or other furniture without making them look crowded. This will the Pooh kid room a completely give it a new look.</p>
<p>Pooh bear wall art for babys room, figurines and other accessories like mugs also serve to enhance the Winnie the Pooh theme. They can be placed on the same night table as a Winnie the Pooh table lamp. You can also place them on a rack.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kids love the story of Disney Cars. Lightning McQueen, a rookie race car driver eager to succeed, discovers that life is more about the journey (instead of the finish line). Encourage your child’s sense of imagination by designing his very own Disney Cars themed bedroom. With a backsplash of new paint, a few accessories and furniture revamping, his bedroom will surely become his favorite hang out.</p>
<p><strong>Start with the Walls</strong></p>
<p>Nothing makes characters come to life like a fresh new backdrop. Choose paint colors that coordinate with the Disney Cars color palette (such as ice blue or a mild tint of green). Choosing light colors will make it easier as your child grows (and his bedroom changes). These colors will also accentuate accessories that you choose for the room. Consider painting base boards a bright white to make wall colors stand out.</p>
<p><strong>Furniture</strong></p>
<p>If purchasing new furniture is a budget breaker, consider painting your existing furniture fun colors that tie into the Cars theme. Keep the room from becoming too busy by choosing a single color for headboards, footboards and dressers. Painting a bed red gives it a “car like” feeling. Purchase solid white knobs for dresser drawers, which contrasts nicely against a fresh coat of paint.</p>
<p>Consider purchasing an inexpensive toy box and applying a new coat of paint. Your child can place fun Cars Foam Decorations on the toy chest to liven it up. Purchase a Cars themed comforter, which can be found at most retailers. Another comforter option is a solid bedspread that matches the Cars color palette.</p>
<p><strong>Accessories</strong></p>
<p>There are plenty of fun accessories that can bring life to your little one’s room. Check out the Cars Victory Lane Blue Grey Wall Boarder. This border is super easy to apply and won’t leave damage on walls (this is especially convenient if you rent).</p>
<p>If you aren’t a wall board fan, consider using Disney Cars Foam Wall Decorations. These accessories contain nine mini soft foam shapes you can place all over the room. If you decide to redecorate later on, the shapes can easily be removed without causing damage.</p>
<p>Finish off your child’s room with a Disney Cars Smart Tiles Light Switch Cover and a Decorative Wall Hook to hang your little auto racer’s favorite items (so they don’t get lost).</p>
<p>Creating a Disney Cars themed room will liven your child’s imagination. He can fall asleep and wake up with his favorite characters. Getting your child involved in the decorating process will help build the excitement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the last few years, there has been a huge push for decluttering and, in fact, there have been many articles on it and on the benefits to your health, your budget and your peace of mind that decluttering can bring.</p>
<p>Because of this push, more and more of us have made the leap to declutter if not all, at least most of our house.  We have had garage sales, given stuff to good will and found proper places for everything else.  We have worked hard to get everything done and we are usually very happy with the outcome.</p>
<p>That is, until we walk into our children’s bedrooms. At that point, we realized that all that energy spent decluttering was lost because the biggest clutter was safely tucked behind closed doors.  Toys are strewn everywhere, there is very little space to put anything new and nothing seems to have a proper place. Even clothes that could easily go into a Wonder Pets &#8211; Storage Hamper have missed their destination and are now on the floor instead of where they should be.</p>
<p>Thankfully, there is a way to make order in all this chaos and it can be done within a day or, if it is really bad, over a weekend.  All you need to do is follow these tips.</p>
<p><strong>Tip Number One:  Assign a number</strong></p>
<p>Okay, I have probably lost you here but before you start putting things away, you will need to assign a number to everything.  This should be the following:</p>
<p>One:  The Must Haves. These are all the toys that will need to go somewhere, like in a Disney Princess Horizontal Storage Bin.</p>
<p>Two: The Unsures.  These are things that your child is on the fence about.  Does she want to pack them up, give them away or keep them out to display.</p>
<p>Three: The Giveaways.  These are all the toys and clothes that your child has outgrown and you won’t be handing down to your other children.</p>
<p>Four: The throwaways.  As much as your child will protest, there are just some things that can’t be salvaged.  Throw them away and don’t look back.</p>
<p>Five: The Storeables.  Any clothes or toys that can be packed up and brought out later.  This can be for younger children or for any seasonal toys you have.</p>
<p><strong>Tip Number Two: Have a variety of storage</strong></p>
<p>When you have all the toys sorted, it is time to start storing everything you are keeping.  There will be a number of items that you can place on shelves or on the top of dressers as a decoration but most things you will want in a toy box.</p>
<p>While I am not a huge fan of toy boxes, I do find bins and hampers to be the ideal. These can be tucked onto shelves or placed into closets and you can really add a bit of a theme to your storage bins.</p>
<p>Also, you can use them to keep toys separated.  For instance, a Disney Princess Horizontal Storage Bin can be a perfect place for a girl’s dolls and all the accessories that go with them, while a Disney Pixar Cars Storage Bin can be the perfect storage bin for all of the car tracks that your son has.</p>
<p><strong>Tip Number Three: Be creative</strong></p>
<p>The last tip that I am going to mention about decluttering is be creative.  Many times we create clutter by using conventional shelving and storage options, which take up much more room than we really need.</p>
<p>To cut down on the bulk, use hanging bins, such as the Disney Tinker Bell Hanging Mesh Storage.  This can be an excellent way to get those smaller items up and out of the way or you can use one to store an assortment of art materials that your child uses.</p>
<p>Remember, in the end, the best option is to have a space for everything while making the decluttered space kid friendly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thinking of redecorating your little princess’ room? Why not give her some royal company? The Disney Princesses have mad a majestic comeback in recent years, and the crowned heads can offer an imperial touch to any girl’s room.</p>
<p>For those of you who don’t know (have you been living with the ogres?) the Disney princesses consist of Cinderella, Snow White ad Belle, Jasmine and Sleeping Beauty. With a wide line of furniture, bedding and accessories, decorating with these noble ladies will be magical, and give any girl a bedroom that is enchanting.</p>
<p>For a truly regal appearance, begin with the walls. There’s nothing plain about princesses, especially those from Disney, and no need to set them against a plain backdrop. Try alternating a paint roller length of matte paint with a roller length of satin in the same color. The walls remain monochromatic, but the effect of vertical, satin/matte stripes is stunning, and will transition easily as your child grows and her bedroom changes. Any color from the princesses’ palette will be striking in this alternating finish. By using the colors (or a lighter shade) of the princesses’ dresses, you ensure a perfect match. Because hot pink is the dominant color in most of the furniture and bedding, use a lighter shade of pink, if this is the chosen wall color. For girls who want a livelier look, choose three represented colors, painting individual walls a solid tint. Tie the bold look together by leaving one wall white and adding crowns and hearts to it, using the Disney princess palette. Commercial wallpaper and borders are, of course, readily available in almost any style imaginable. You can even make your own (more cost effectively) by purchasing paper table clothes at a party store, trimming the border from them and using decoupage medium to adhere them to the wall. (Leftovers can adorn light switch covers and plain picture frames, or anything else you can decoupage.)</p>
<p>For kings or queens who don’t own their palace (that’d be you dads and moms who rent), or who aren’t sure their princess will stick with one theme for a long period of time, there are alternatives.</p>
<p>Wall stickers are a relatively new item on the decorating scene. These cool little decorations can be moved without damage, so removing them or taking them with you in a move is possible. Using a panel of princess fabric as “wallpaper” is another option. Simply use heavy starch to attach the fabric to the wall; it will come down easily and the starch will wash away with soap and water. Painting murals on muslin or painters’ canvas also gives you an easily-removable option that provides an imperial bang. Your hand-painted mural can be hung as a tapestry, or adhered to the wall with fabric starch. A floor mat can be created in much the same way, using outdoor latex paint and painters’ canvas, finished with a polyurethane glaze. These removable items make a princess room a financially-feasible possibility for those who rent their homes, or for girls who are likely to change their theme in just a couple of years.</p>
<p>Furniture is next. Beds, vanities, headboards and storage benches are all available for your girl’s bedroom. Because most of the furniture is less expensive, it is primarily pressboard or plastic, with the toy box selections being fabric. For higher end furniture, there are bonuses; for example, the wooden toddler bed transitions from toddler to twin size. Available at stores nationwide or online, creating just the right look for your daughter’s castle is simple. Prices are reasonable, ranging from the low $30’s into the mid-$100’s for the less expensive line, and into the $500’s for items such as the Disney Princess Twin Carriage Bed. As always, there are options for do-it-yourselfers. Dressers are harder to find. A coat of paint and faux gold-leaf, stencils and a new set of drawer pulls (cut “crystal” acrylic, or perhaps wooden pulls decoupaged with princess stickers) will solve the dresser dilemma. Making your own crown headboard and princess shelves is as easy as a jigsaw, a piece of plywood, paints and a little imagination (Disney inspired, of course).</p>
<p>Accessories are available in most popular retail stores. From comforters, lamps and curtains to picture frames, bookends, trash cans and clothes hampers, these princesses are the hottest thing going. Comforters may feature the princesses as a group or individually, and in the “traditional” pink, green or purple backgrounds. Most individual accessories are priced under $50, while accessory sets range into the low $100’s.</p>
<p>Bedrooms are a statement of identity and a place of privacy or sharing, depending on the moment and mood of your princess. There’s no reason, with the wide variety of Disney Princess bedroom items available, that it cannot also be enchanting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To design a room with a theme can be a simple task if one is able to locate and purchase the necessary components to bring the room’s decor together. Fortunately if one is seeking to decorate a little girl’s bedroom in to a Hannah Montana Shrine, the possibilities are endless.</p>
<p>Even before entering the bedroom, a silver heart shaped door hanger stating “Back Stage pass required” announces a rock star may exist waiting beyond the door. Make your way in to the room, and a myriad of options await. Turn on the light switch with the Miley Cyrus and friends light switch cover, and a Hannah Montana Acrylic lamp on the bedside table lights up. Additional Hannah Montana electrical outlet and light switch covers are located around the room showing many options for designs on the cover faces. Focus on the bed as the center point, and two popular comforter sets make matching window treatments a no-brainer. Pick the dark blue and pink dotted bed spread (with matching sheet set) and the record shaped throw pillows will accent the motif. Pick the turquoise blue and purple bed set and the matching furniture will follow. Six different throw pillows and a fleece blanket add versatility in additional bedding comfort.</p>
<p>The furniture is designed for a tween’- someone defined as a preteen, between the ages of eight to twelve years old. The soft, cloth covered headboard is created for a twin bed, as are the bedding sets. The headboard design will match the turquoise and purple bedspread and skirt, with the ever present guitar and Hannah Montana’ logo ensuring a visitor will know the young girl’s passion for Hannah Montana. A matching side table with light blue flowers and guitar, bentwood tween’ chair and a bentwood directors chair add the finishing touches to the furniture. Place one of the chairs in front of the fully functioning 15” LCD TV created to imitate Hannah Montana’s live stage setup and the tween will never want to leave her room!</p>
<p>On the walls hang Hannah Montana signing posters- press the button on each and one will play ” If We Were A Movie” , the other “Pumpin’ Up the Party” by the one and only Hannah Montana. A life size bright blue guitar offers hanging space on the wall with four sturdy hooks. A three-piece picture ensemble hanging by a tiny guitar offers the tween a place to display 4” x 6” pictures of her pals surrounded by gold-tone art and rhinestones. Dozens of different stick on wall appliqués allow for the tween to create her own style with Hannah Montana, flowers, friends, and guitars. A clock on the wall in the shape of a guitar reminds the tween to keep her eye on the time. A black denim door organizer with Hannah Montana logo hangs on the back of the door with multiple pockets for the tweens many activities and busy life. Leave the Hannah Montana diary with Marabou Pen on the bedside table for the tween to write down her hearts secrets and the room will be complete.</p>
