Insanemomof3 replied: My themes are pretty boring really. I have celestial stuff in my living room, the colors are navy blue, yellow and orange..you know, celestial colors. LOL Bedroom varies really, I have purple satin bedset and a pink satin one.

My kitchen is cows. Black and white cows. I LOVE cows. I know, I am odd. My kids rooms are just disaster zones. Tristan likes spongebob and hotwheels. Demetrius usually is happy with anything so I have not decided what to do for him. Probably dumb spongebob too.

TANNER'S MOM replied: Well I am rustic cowboy in my living room..even in the couch my couch and tables are kinda my creation. My end tables and coffe tables.. are white painted..and stripped then for the antique weathered look.. then I stenciled horses running across them. I framed rodeo pics of myself, my husband and Tanner all across the living room.. Including back tags. I have spurs and bull ropes and cow bells.. on end tables etc. And I have a long horn steer skull in the living room..

My kitchen.. is country kitchen..
My bathroom is deep red.. and green..

Britt's room..is Hot pink.. and teenage mess..

Tanner's and Justins is a cross between cowboys and John Deere!

My room as no theme..except clothes.. and I hate that!

ions_momma replied: Our apartment doesnt really have any themes, and we cant really change anything because of our landlord. He doesnt allow any one to paint or change much in the building. We are hoping to maybe start looking for a house to buy though soon, if we decide to stay in the town we live in after DH finishes school. But our bathroom right now is white and the curtain is a flag and the toliet seat cover is a flag too. Our kitchen has alot of flag decorations too.

kimberley replied: my theme is "free stuff"

our house is almost all neutral earthy tones with some blues added in.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: Our theme is disaster zone toys and clotes everywhere all the time.
NO most of our house is still white from when we moved in, we have really high ceilings so the thought of painting that high has no appeal to me. Our family room/ kitchen (all one story) is beige and one red wall. Living room/dining room is the 2 store all white room. The couches are dark wood(cherry i think) with beige cushons. the dinig set matches it almost perfectly style and color. This is the one room in the hose I want a different color but probably the last to get changed (inless we go on trading spaces)
Katy's room is light purple with pink accents, and white and light wood furniture no specific charictor but works with most of the girly ones so it can change w/o major furniture or wall changes righ tnow it ballerinas
Matt's room is blue with blue, and more blue I really like the jungle set from Target so I think he will be asking for all that stuff for christmas, his funtiture is all a medium clor wood and he has bunk beds, dresser, book shelf all as one unit. It will definately grow with him.
My bedroom is white with light wood funiture and a fish tank...huge tank to be specific. We have just a bed, 2 night stands, the fish tank and a tv armoire....I guess I like th emore simple layouts too much funriture annoys me.

kit_kats_mom replied: Oh lets see.
Our bedroom is college dorm chic. Very lame with white walls and everything in there is hand me downs. Actually, I think that our entire house is that style. Most of our furniture was given to us or purchased from Target. We have no real "pieces".

Our living room & playroom on the other hand is decorated in the "let the cracked up orangatans loose in toys are us" decor.

~KARA~ replied: Kitchen- sunflowers
lv room- snowmen
bath\room - moons and stars
bedrooms- none

My3LilMonkeys replied: Every piece of furniture in our house (except for the cribs and MIL bought them) is either a hand-me-down or cost less than $50. It is a very thrown together look that I haven't done much with because I really don't have the time or money to decorate.

The only room that is done in anything is Madison's - Sesame street. She has handmade curtains, changing table cover, and dresser runner of the same Sesame Street fabric. We got a Sesame Street crib set & mobile. My sister painted a mural on one wall and we have a bunch of Sesame Street stuffed animals on the mantle. That's it for my decorating abilities

Alice replied: Ours is Toy-Store-meets-Office-Max... toys and papers wherever you look!!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Mine doesn't have a theme, but I get a lot of my ideas from Pottery Barn I guess and my FIL describes the look as Euro flea market ! So lots of earth tones, yet my bedroom is a really pretty light blue. Velvet couch with dark leather ottoman. Lots of wall candle sconces, dark framed mirrors above the mantel and at entry, black and white photos on the wall, cherry oak wine cabinet. Wil's room is sorta PB Kids as well...no theme...blue and light yellow. White antique crib, shadow box on the wall with antique silver baby bowl, wicker baskets and white wood shelves, blue rug which is probably the only real thing I bought from PB kids! The rest of the house has some rustic oak furniture which is not really my style (hand me downs), but it works! And my bedroom has a light blue quilt to match and a white duvet, which is again, taken from a page in Pottery Barn...dark antique metal lamps on each bedstand. I may throw in some dark brown as an accent color!

That's about it!

PrairieMom replied: Kitchen is Sage green with Pfaltzgraff naturewood pattern. (leaves and garden-y things)
living room has nothing in it right now but a ficus.
Family room is Dark army green accent with smoky sage walls and chocolate furnature
The boys room is red white and blue with airplanes
three baths, yellow, brown, and PURPLE. (like crayola on crack purple. )
our bedroom is tan and boring.

Boys r us replied: I don't really have a "theme" in my house...exactly. My decorating style is very Rustic Italian and vintage like...Crackled wood and marble, lots of deep pink and browns, candles everywhere.

Jamison'smama replied: My style is mixed--a year ago, I was living in a 100 year old home--wood floors ---beautiful home and my decorating style was fairly primitive, older woods, woven rugs, iron and pottery--we moved a year ago into a new home so primitive didn't quite work--now I would describe my style as traditional furniture--denim couch, clean lines with primitive accents

gr33n3y3z replied: right now its early style boardwalk a little of this and that

coasterqueen replied: Hmmm, well......

my kitchen is sage green with a bit of soft salmon, but the kitchen windows have sage green scarves hanging over blinds. The theme is suns and moons with pottery/deco thrown in there. I have 9ft walls and so I have lots of space above my cabinets so above there I have real greenery sprawled out on the cabinets with pottery here and there up there.

My livingroom and foyer is well, not sure what it is, lol. My friends say I have many styles thrown in to one, contemp, traditional, etc. But most of the pics in here are of magnolias. The colors are mainly deep burgundy, that's what the colors of the scarves are above the window blinds. The furniture is a brown color with blacks, burgundies and hunter greens mixed in and right now we have a rocking chair in there that is hunter green (my nursing chair ).

One thing I promised my husband when we built our house is I wouldn't make any of the rooms to where he would have "squat to pee" as he calls it. That means nothing frilly, girly, which is fine with me. I understand he needs to call it home and so we went with more neutral ideas in the house. He was ok with the magnolias because they aren't really the focal point of the livingroom/foyer and they add a touch of girl, nothing too dramatic.

Our masterbedroom and masterbath has the same color scheme which is navy blue and a yellow (not soft yellow, not sure how to describe it) as well as a bit of hunter green. We have pics and decor of lighthouses throughout the master bed and bath with a bit of seashore decor to it as well. The bedspread was a blue, yellow, and hunter green plaid when we first moved in but it's since changed to a quilt that is shades of blue and white sorta plaid, lol. I liked the old bedspread but it fell apart after lots and lots of washing it.

The hallway/laundryroom is a "leaves" decor with a sage-ish green rugs. We've had tan rugs in there before, too. It's basically earth tones with pics of leaves on the walls with leaf pillows sitting on the bench.

The playroom has no decor, just toys with a tv up on the wall and another wall has a corkboard with Kylie's artwork plastered all over it. I really want to decorate this room but have no idea what to do. The room is just too small, every time I try to figure out what to do with it I get grumpy at the size of it. It used to be a den, we never imagined we'd need a playroom some day when we designed our house. Whoops!

Kylie's bedroom is bugs, butterflies, and dragonflies, etc. Yellow curtains, lavendar/yellow bedspread, etc.

Kids/Guest bathroom is the ONLY room close to being classified as a "squat to pee" room in the house. The colors are burgundy, hunter green and creme. The walls are wallpapered (yuck, but dh wanted wallpaper in there) with what looks like brush strokes here and there of those three colors. The shower curtain and rugs are burgundy. I have 2 small colored florals in there and a flowery painting in there. This room doesn't bother Dh for some reason.

Megan's room is done in a plaid type of sage, lavendar, and some other colors but the focus of color in her room is lavendar and sage. Her room is a teddy bear theme with teddy bear pics all over the room.

The basement livingroom, gameroom, and den will be done in St. Louis Cardinals. The couches down there are beige with deep red pillows on it. So red obviously will be a color down there.

The basement bath is done in a beige color (the towels and rugs). Probably will incorporate St. L Cardinals in there as well.

The whole house has a very TOO light creme colored carpet in it. A real PITA. The basement carpet is actually a creme colored carpet with earth tone colors all in it. All of the walls in our home are an offwhite color with white ceilings. Dh used to paint for a living as well as build houses and he DESPISES with a passion colored walls. He things offwhite walls makes a house/room look bigger. I can't really complain with him on that so I don't even bother with color walls, lol.

That's my house. Now if I could get an interior decorator in here I'd definitely change it all, except the basement. I'd love to do my bedroom in black and white photographs (a more deep tone to the bedroom) with earthtones to the bed clothes, etc.

Sounds like mine!!! I call it Goodwill comfortable!!! It works great in a 100 year old house, though.

coasterqueen replied:
All most all of our furniture is CHEAP with a capital C, lol. For us we didn't care because we knew that the kids would help destroy it so we'd buy nicer furniture when they are much older.
