GROOVY PEACE SIGNS
 |
GO HERE FOR MORE! |
Remember the days when groovy peace signs and bedding sets were the bedroom decor of choice preferred by flower children and unwashed hippies? My parents vaguely recall those days of protest and mistrust of anyone over thirty. I heard them discussing with some of their friends that they believed before last fall’s election that the tense political atmosphere almost seemed to be repeating itself but sadly they seemed to be overlooking the positive side of the 60s, namely the cool and colorful home decorations.

As for me, I can only say that I noticed a large increase in requests for decorating with hippie peace signs, tie dye and psychedelic flowers. After one or two such projects, I began to realize the limitations of posters and started looking for alternative art forms that might dish up some prospects for groovy peace signs that were more interesting and that would do to use as decorations in a teenage girl’s bedroom to be more specific.
In my search, I found lots of cool peace signs in forms that you would never dream of. But I like LARGE graphics and displays so two of my favorites were a peace sign shower curtain that had the emblem centered between a heart and a smiley face and a beaded peace sign beaded curtain that could be used as everything from a wall hanging or a room divider to a closet door. Both designs were big, but in neutral colors that would not detract from the wild colors in your tie dyed peace sign comforter set.

Teal Green and Orange Bedding for Girls
GO HERE FOR MORE!
Aqua or teal green and orange bedding for girls is striking, but throw in some hot pink, floral prints and retro rickrack trim and the look is sure to knock any tween or teen right off her feet. Standing alone the cool shades of blue in the aqua and teal bedroom decorations could hardly be considered memorable much less dramatic. And teenage girls are known to love drama. I ask you, who am I to deny a young girl the decor of her dreams? The problem is figuring out how to make her happy without wrecking the layout of the home’s color palette.
After a walkthrough of a client’s home it was obvious that the mom of twin girls had a love for the cool blues and greens that you might associate with the ocean. It was just as clear to me that the curtains, upholstery fabrics and floor coverings called for some warm colored accents to create a balance. A few throw pillows and decorative items displayed on the tabletops and shelves were all that it took and my client was impressed with the results.
She was so pleased that when I made the bold recommendation of decorating her twins’ bedrooms with bright teal green and orange bedding for girls I got the go ahead without the argument that might have otherwise been forthcoming. This is a perfect example of a time when offering a few hours of decorating advice free of charge pays off big time. If I had not taken the time to prove that I knew a few things about balancing colors (for a very cheap price I might add) the lady might have fainted when I suggested teal green and orange striped bedding lay the groundwork for the color scheme in her teenage girls’ bedroom.
Her daughters adored the hodgepodge of polka dots, stripes and funky floral bedding fabric and I came off looking like a decorating genius which does not hurt my feelings a bit. But I must confess that in reality a dummy could have made the bedroom look fabulous using the cute aqua blue, hot pink, green and orange bedding for girls that I picked up at a nice discount online.
