I have a lot of fun “finishing” a room using vinyl wall decals. I get mine from http://www.wallslicks.com – theirs have a matte finish and blend into the painted wall and look like they were painted on by a professional. For example, I have a splash of green leaves on a branch – very classy design – coming across the wall behind our bed. I did my toddler’s room in brightly colored polka dots! When he grows older we can easily change them to something else – horses, or cars, etc.

The smallest finishing touches always make the biggest difference in a room’s design. I love how the right window treatments really complete a room’s overall look. You should take a look at our website, we carry a variety of different collections for any home decorating needs.

Those are great points. I used some of those and bedding I got from online from twin xl bedding to perky up my room.
