rock on, meg!
Great color for the bedroom... also love the headboard idea!!
great epi meg!
Eco-paint !! What will they think of next ?
Wow, eco-paint. What a great idea! I know what I'm buying the next time I need to paint anything. Great episode!
I know, so cool, right?!
Thanks for the helpful, green info Meg!
Hey what if you have a cork board and you want to make your own push.pins for it...what would you use for the sharp end?!
I would reccomend just buying some plain thumb tacks from the dollar store and jazzing them up with paint or maybe some fimo/sculpy creations or buttons. sewing pins even work too if thery're heavy duty. As for some alternatives.... maybe cut up paper clips?
Wow, your room is really small, but then again you're in a tiny apartment with a double bed. Good work with the decor! My main decor challenge is I have a border wallpaper that goes straight through my room horizontally. It's been there for at least 10 years but i fear removing it if possible) will damage my walls. Any suggestions?
The new bedroom looks so refreshing and clean!
The singing is my favorite! That gray color is so stunning!
YAYYAY i love this show!
Thanks for using part of my video Meg! You're the best! :)
Hardback books as end tables is so cool, and the new headboard is beautiful yet so reasonably priced and easy-to-do. Great vision, Meg.
hmm could you show us how to make our own wallpaper? or even how to make our own paper from scratch?
cool ideas! i have always wanted to apply wallpaper, but don't know how. Meg, do you know?
that guys hot!
Great work Meg.............
Awesome job, love the color...keep it up!
umm....so after penguen's desk I get some sort of "glamore on a budget" thing then it freezes and wants to start over...anyone else having this problem??
just so you know it finally worked for me
great epp!!
I am a college student looking to add some of my own style to my bed room in my apartment but I can't paint the walls or pot any nails in the walls so what do I do pleas help me. Ps: it would allso help my friends that live in college dorm rooms.
There are a lot of different ways to spruce up college bedrooms. I personally love using adhesive hooks to hang up just about everything I could ever need on walls. I posted something (http://rootless-sand.deadjournal.com/8133.html) about hanging up a small birdcage-like jewelry hanger using adhesive hooks and string. You could also put one adhesive hook on one end of the wall and another on the other end, and tie a piece of sturdy string between the two, then hang photographs or a calendar or sunglasses or anything else that strikes your fancy. If you're worried about how much weight it will hold, you can just place more adhesive strips along the length of the string and tie the string to them at regular intervals. You could also use this method to hang up a huge piece of cloth, like a tapestry, either along the wall or around your bed as curtains for some extra privacy. For some quality time with your roommate, you could post up a huge piece of paper on the wall using adhesive strips and just let your creativity go wild on it--draw cool designs with colored pencils, crayons, pens, sharpies, make collages from magazines or even old homework assignments (with phrases scribbled across them describing how you REALLY felt about the Boer War), or post up inspiration sayings and quotes.
Thank you so much for all of this helpful info, chpest! I love the birdcage-like jewelry hanger idea. I'd love to see that.
fantabulous episode, and kudos with the addition of the John Lennon and Yoko Ono pictures. I really need to change up me room. My walls are painted brown (supposed to look like egypt...) and my carpet is green! Its too darn confusing. I wish I could easily paint my room yellow.. If only it were that easy.
Love it again! I will ONLY be buying Eco-Paint from now on. Get ready for my new bedroom!!!
Wow, love the episode. I keep wanting to redo my bedroom and I love your head board idea - it looks great, doesn't take up too much room and is easy on your wallet. I also love the color you guys decided to paint your room- it's a good neutral color (with being so beige) it's a great color for a couple, not too girly and not too manly. i love it! can't wait to see next week!!
wow eco-paint ....I have never heard of it.
thanks so much for the episode! you totally inspired me to clear out my room, clean like crazy and rearrange my furniture to fit in my room better and i love the results. keep the great episodes coming
Awesome show! Do you have any ideas for making a cheap desk? I need a lot of drawers and storage space. I thought about using two of those plastic drawer things but what could I use for a desktop?
You should do tip's for people who rent or for other reasons can paint there rooms.
One Method is to use Posterbord or card bord and set them up say to look like a city sky line and place it along your wall, easily removed and won't loose you deposit.
also I use those paper sleeves that DVd's some times have and I have taped them along my wall.
it makes a neat line up of the films I like and it draws attention from the blank walls.
That dog!!! Gah! Meanwhile I think she was feeling left out.
Thanks for the great headboard alternates Meg. I've been needing something like this.
Your house is so cool!
Could you show us how to make, or where to buy, some eco-friendly nailpolish? The smell of regular nail polish is really harsh.
i love your moon light/lamp where did you get it?? meg i really love all of the episodes you've done! :)
Thanks so much, Anne! I got the moon light at Restoration Hardware. It's so cool. It illuminates from within and shows all 12 phases of the moon. So rad.
Thanks Meg! looking forward to the next ep. i was inspired by the previous one so now i have a nice peacefull bedroom! thanks so much
I loved the color... But I can't paint my walls because I have a fake wood paneling... so is there a way to dress it up without the paint?
i THINK THIS IS A VERY HELPFUL IDEA FOR SAVING MONEY.
the faux wood paneling trick is brilliant. I love how you guys are never afraid to try new things. rock on with your paint can!
