			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Has your daughter outgrown her room décor? I know it’s fun to decorate your little girl’s room with Disney or cartoon characters, but as your daughter gets closer to her pre-teen or teenage years cartoons and princesses just doesn’t work anymore.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">How can you create a décor that suits your daughter and lets her grown into her own space? Follow these trends:</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong>Bright colors in combination</strong> – Don’t be a afraid to experiment with colors – greens, blues, purples, oranges, and yellow. Consider painting stripes or alternating walls. Keep the furniture simple – plain white, and add color with sheets and comforters.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong>Go Parisian</strong> – What’s more sophisticated than a Parisian bedroom. Use alternating stripes of white and pink paint on the wall, with lots of pictures of French landmarks. <a href="../../bed-skirts-pillow-shams/pillow-shams">Add frilly pillows </a>and <a href="../../bed-skirts-pillow-shams/bed-skirts">bed skirts</a> with lots of extra throw pillows – of all colors.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><strong>Trendy Toile</strong> – Toile is an incredibly popular fabric. Toile is a repeating scene of one color against a white background. These fabrics are a little busy, but are great accents when used with plain white sheets or comforters. Add embroidered or <a href="../../bed-skirts-pillow-shams/eyelet/3500-eyelet-ruffled-bed-skirt">eyelet white bed skirts</a> for an elegant look.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">It’s time to give your daughter a space that lets her feel a little bit grown up, while still letting her be a kid. These styles make for a great girls bedroom.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve been trying to find a way to change my bedroom look lately. I’ve found some interesting theories about color and how color affects our moods. For instance:</p>
<p><strong>Neutral colors</strong> – Neutral colors like soft browns, beiges and greens make a room feel warm and cozy. These colors are often associated with nature. If you love to bring the outdoors into your bedroom, considering painting the walls a soft green and using neutral colors for bedspreads and <a href=" ../../satin-bedding/pillowcases/4100-satin-pillowcase-with-hidden-zipper">pillow shams</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Blue/Green</strong> – Blue and green are soothing colors which brings a peaceful feeling of a water environment.</p>
<p><strong>Pink </strong>– Expect to see pink in a little girl’s room only? Well, pink is a great accent color and offers a great deal of sophistication and glamour.<br />
<strong><br />
Lavender/Gold </strong>– Lavender and gold are a great combination. Lavender is calming, while the gold feels luxurious and sexy. Think about adding <a href="../../bed-skirts-pillow-shams/bed-skirts/4800-satin-ruffled-bed-skirt">satin sheets</a> and a bedspread.<br />
<div id="attachment_27" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://www.shopbedding.com/bed-skirts-pillow-shams/bed-skirts/4800-satin-ruffled-bed-skirt"><img src="http://www.shopbedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/gold-full-satin-sheet-set.jpg" alt="Gold Satin Linen Sheets Set Are Perfect for Great Romance" title="gold-full-satin-sheet-set" width="400" height="297" class="size-full wp-image-27" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Gold Satin Linen Sheets Set Are Perfect for Great Romance</p></div></p>
<p>A little color goes a long way to create a peaceful or sophisticated bedroom. Think about your favorite color, and what you’d like to see in your bedroom, then find the perfect sheets and comforters to add that color!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever wish you could turn your back on a mess and have it go away? That’s what I want – more room in my bedroom to store everything, without it being obvious.  So I found the perfect solution: <strong>bed skirts</strong>.</p>
<p>How do bed skirts help out?</p>
<p>They hide the mess. Bed skirts are called dust ruffles for a reason. Not only do they hide the dust bunnies under the bed, but they are great for hiding those large and ugly storage containers.</p>
<p>Bed skirts pull a look together.  Add a bed skirt to your room and ups the “wow” factor. A bed skirt can be softly romantic or tailored – either way, it’s a great look for the room.</p>
<p>Bed skirts can create the overall décor of the bedroom. Add a bed skirt to change your color scheme. Pick a bed skirt in a contrasting or complimentary color.</p>
<p>If you want hide your mess and forget it, take a look at <a href="../bed-skirts-pillow-shams">our bed skirts</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a long, hard day at work and dealing with the kids, I really want a space that I can call my own. What I really need is a place that offers peace – and even better, a little romance. Here are some steps to turn your room into a luxury boudoir:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pick a color/any color – Don’t leave your bedroom walls a plain, vanilla white. Pick your favorite color, then look for a shade or tone of the color that is relaxing and soothing.</li>
<li>Outfit the room – Can’t afford to replace the furniture? A few changes to your linens can create a new look. Choose <a href="http://www.shopbedding.com/bed-sheets/fitted/4600-satin-fitted-sheet" target="_blank">satin sheets</a> and a <a href="http://www.shopbedding.com/bed-skirts-pillow-shams/bed-skirts/4800-satin-ruffled-bed-skirt">satin bed skirt</a> in a complimentary color to your wall scheme.</li>
<li>Don’t be afraid to mix things up – pick alternating colors for the sheets and bed skirts, or try a variety of <a href="satin-bedding/pillowcases/4100-satin-pillowcase-with-hidden-zipper">satin pillow cases</a> and <a href="http://www.shopbedding.com/bed-skirts-pillow-shams/pillow-shams/4300-satin-ruffled-pillow-sham">shams</a>.</li>
<li>Add the accents – Add some decorative elements, pictures and candles. Don’t fill your bedroom with lots of family photos – make it a neutral space that is conducive to romance.</li>
<li>Soften the lighting – Bring in some lamps, add dimmer switches to your lights. Make the lighting work when reading, but soft and relaxing when you need to chill out.</li>
<li>Don’t forget the music – Add a nice quality mini-stereo to play relaxing music, or consider adding something for white noise. Make the room as free of distractions from the outer world.</li>
<li>Immerse yourself in a little luxury and comfort. Create your own space with our <a href="satin-bedding/sheets">satin sheets</a> and you just may find that you never want to leave the room.</li>
</ul>
<div id="attachment_8" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://www.shopbedding.com/satin-sheets"><img class="size-full wp-image-8" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" title="romantic-satin-sheet-set" src="http://www.shopbedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/romantic-satin-sheet-set.jpg" alt="romantic-satin-sheet-set" width="400" height="482" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Romantic Silky Satin Sheets in Lovely Colors</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">For less than $100, you can create the perfect romantic bedroom you have always dreamed of.</p>
