beach themed end tables image
Carissa K
Well, I have four walls, one is covered with a window, i have a ceiling, a floor, and a loft. I don't know what I should put in my new Beach Room. :(
Answer
Ahh, my favorite design... a beach cottage!
Light, airy cool blue paint colors... distressed 'white' beadboard from the floor to the chair rail, cool blue paint above the chair rail.
Aged/faded denim blue and/or chambray and/or oxford cloth quilt & shams with crisp white high quality cotton bedding.
A large rattan basket or a wicker chair in natural rattan color, or an wicker chair/basket in an aged (scruffy, chipped, dark in the nooks & crannies, not a high gloss finish) white with thick down cushions.
Crisp white cottom curtains at the windows; don't make 'em floor length, you want curtains that'll be stirred by the beach breezes. :-)
In front of the window, think about a large pot w/ tall (like 5' or 6' tall) dried reeds or fluffy grasses to evoke the feel of tall grasses growing on a wind-swept dune (see link, below).
A very, very plain sisal or other fiber rug in the pale, cool tan of beach sand at dawn.
Whatever woods you put in the room in the way of furnishings (bed, end table, dresser, chairs, etc.), consider distressing them first and applying a simple white-wash to 'em.
Regardless of your end-table size, type, etc., consider covering it in a floor length tablecloth (made w/ a sheet, perhaps?) with a second (shorter) cloth over the first one to create that layered, slightly soft & diffused look.
Consider buying at least one, if not a pair, of clear glass lamps (see link, below) and building you own sea scape in 'em... sand, shells, grasses. If you don't have enough stuff of your own, maybe a trip to a local aquarium's gift shop will help you augment the sea scape.
Hope this helps,

What should i do for my sweet 16?
<3Theres a
I have no idea what theme i should have for my sweet 16. I am probally either going to have it at the end of febuary or sometime in march. I dont want a theme that is common like masqarade(sp) ball. What theme should i have?
Also i dont drink so i dont want to get drunk and i dont want like a hollywood theme because my sister had one for her 18th also i live in a small town and not the rich so i dont have a lot of money to spend on it.
Answer
Movie party at home. Have a movie themed party. They sell decorations for this at oriental trading. com and you can also find some movie stuff on the hollywood sites I mentioned above. Watch a cool movie, have popcorn and all kids of candy and junk food. Make or buy pizza and have sundaes. Have a sleep over with the girls if you want. Have a dance if your have room.
Luau, beach Hawaii: Orientaltrading has the coolest decorations and favors for this theme and the cutest tropical invitation in the bottle. Give your guests leis as they come in. Play Limbo, Hula hoop, and have a few grass skirts and everyone (including the guys) have to give hulaing a try. Again if you have room to do this at home or you can rent a small room. Tropical pinata. Twister. Hawaii games: http://www.alohafriendsluau.com/games.html.
Candy theme: Pink tablecloths, pink and white balloons. Make candy bouquets for the tables with short wide mouth vase from the dollar store. Fill 1/3 with peppermint disks. Buy colorful lollipops and put in the vase. Make another one t he same but use candy sticks instead like cherry, lime, etc. You can attach bows to each one with a favor card that says your initial, 16 or thanks for coming to my sweet 16 and then after the party give them out as favors. Get personalized M and Ms to put in small favor bags. Get personalized hershey bar wrappers and little personalized stickers that go on the bottom of hershey's kisses or even hard candy. Buy plate size styrofoam 3 inch thick rounds and wrap in clear cellophane for a big hard candy decorations. you could put a wood dowel in one to make it a sucker. Play twister. For favors those candy necklaces, bracelets ands ring pops and candy lipsticks. They sell inflatable lollipops at Windy City Novelities. Buy a sweet 16 plastic sucker mold. We got 1 for 2.50 on Ebay. We bought 3 bags of colored chocolate at the craft store and 1.50 each and made 27 lolliopops out of that. A bag of 100 lolly bags and ties is 1.99. It was so easy to make. Shindigz sells personalized clear candy jars. Also have cotton candy.
Sweet games: One game is you melt small pieces of chocolate into small bowls and then you blindfold people one at a time and have them taste and they have to guess what kind of candybar it is. Then have a candy prize for the winner, like a little candy gift basket.
Fill a jar with some type of small candies, maybe personalized M and Ms with a 16 on them or your initials. Have people guess how many and again have a prize for the winner.
Play bingo using Candy hearts as bingo chips.
Twister is a colorful game that goes with candy theme.
Fill a pinata full of popular candy. Sour stuff seems to be in.
You could do a Willie Wonka like contest. Buy these personalized candy bar wrappers and put a few golden tickets inside when you assemble them. Then, hand them out at the party for an activity and have some small door prize for the winners. http://www.4funparties.com/app/index.php...
