It always seems so quiet whenever my partner and I have sex. But…it’d be weird to just put my ipod on shuffle and go at it, especially if an awkward song came up. What is some good music to play that isn’t cheesy, but fits well in the bedroom?

Whether you know it or not, your bathroom is one of the focal points of your house. It gets used every day, by almost everyone that comes into the house, so you want it to look great, right?
Luckily, having a fabulous bathroom isn’t that hard. Paying attention to detail and decorating a bathroom with a few special touches can make all the difference. Here are some tips for bathroom decorating that you can easily do in a weekend and which won’t cost you a ton of money either!
To make sure that your bathroom does not look like a bunch of things just thrown together, you need to get it coordinated. That coordination starts with your show curtain. You need to buy a nice dual one with a cloth outer layer and a good high quality thick vinyl inside lining. Try and get one with a nice pattern to it so it will add some style to the room but keep in mind the overall colors you are going for as the curtain will have to match with your towels and wall color.
When you purchase your towels, rugs and wash clothes, you should match them up to the main color of your shower curtain. Again, coordination is the key here and these will set the room off nicely. You don’t have to buy all the same pattern either – mix it up a little with some solid colors and some patterns.
One thing you are going to have to make sure of when decorating a bathroom is that you have enough towel racks for all of those new towels that you are buying. Sometimes you walk into a bathroom and there is not a space for hand towels. Do you really want to dry your hands on the towel that they are using after a shower? Make sure you have one behind the door, in the shower, by the sink and over the toilet.
Once you have that completed, you can paint the room. If you decided to use a multi-colored shower curtain, you can pull one of the background colors out of that. If you chose a solid color, go with a light neutral color that will accentuate the color of the shower curtain. Remember, coordination is the key!
Now it is time to buy some accessories. You have to get everything up off of the surface so you are going to need a tissue dispenser, comb and brush holder, tooth brush holder, soap dispenser and trash can. You are just about finished, now there is only one thing left to do.
It is time to add a personal touch to your bathroom. There are a variety of things that you can do to achieve this. Maybe a nice display of scented candles on the toilet, a nice portrait on the wall or even a bouquet would be nice. You just want something in there that says you care. Now instead of having their noses turned up, they’ll walk out of your house talking about how wonderful it is.

I want your opinion (not some website that thinks I’m remodelling). I’m moving into a brand new, modern studio apartment that has pale brown walls with white trim. The brown swatch is here:

but I don’t have pictures of the place.

My question to you is this: What kind of decorative color scheme do you think would be cool in this room?

I was thinking:
cream, dark brown, sage green, accents of either grayish-pink or slate blue.

I’m pretty set on sage green… I think… maybe…

What do you think would be cool?
RE: bronte heights – Ooh… like a maroon or a dark rust color maybe? I’d have to go with a lighter green though… It’s a small space, so I don’t want to use too many dark colors…
