Sitting in front of the television envying people getting their homes made over may be a great way to pass the time, but in reality only a few lucky fans are actually chosen to a have a room redone by their neighbor on Trading Spaces, their home completely remodeled by the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team or a quick room redesigned as a surprise on the Oprah Winfrey show.
So, what do the rest of us do when we want to remodel our bedrooms? We could hop in the car and drive to local stores to view paint colors, furniture and bedding accessories, but these days all that effort is unnecessary.
The Bedroom Furniture Source, an online company, is revolutionizing the way people are thinking about their bedrooms by offering the average person the chance to get a custom designed bedroom while staying on a budget.
The designers will actually talk with people by phone or participants can elect to take an online questionnaire to help people achieve the designer bedroom of their dreams. The designers at The Bedroom Furniture Source can provide their customers a new bedroom complete with bedding accessories and even suggested paint and flooring ideas.
?People can come to our Bedroom Design Center with a budget and the style they are looking for, and we will help them redo their bedroom space with new furniture, comforters, pillows, sheets and curtains,? says Chuck Rosselle, president of The Bedroom Furniture Source. ?We will even suggest paint colors to go with the room.?
And the possibilities are endless; people can choose the type of room they want from modern, contemporary or traditional styles. The folks at The Bedroom Furniture Source have created everything from ultimate romantic spaces to fun rooms for children with lofted beds, according to designers that work at the company.
One of the main goals of the company is to make sure people are happy with both the quality and the price. ?All of our products are available on Froogle for comparison shopping, and we offer free shipping to our customers that spend $750 or more. All they have to do is paint the walls and assemble the room,? Rosselle says.
Not only does The Bedroom Furniture Source offer remodeling help, they also offers tips, articles and suggestions about redesigning rooms in your home.
The Bedroom Furniture Source offers the following tips when working with an online designer:
? Be sure to give the designer a good understanding of both the kinds of styles that you like as well as the styles you do not like.
? Make sure your budget is realistic. For example if your budget is $200, don?t expect to get a $1,000 bedroom complete with 600-thread count sheets.
? Send the designer a photo of the space you want to redesign. It will give the designer a better idea of the space you are redoing as well as an understanding of your style.
? Make sure the designer is aware of how open you are to new ideas. If you already have a clear idea of what you want, make sure you share that with the designer.
? Don?t be afraid to ask the designer about different ideas he or she may have. It may give you a better understanding of what you want to do with the space.
?What we offer is a do-it-yourself project made simple,? Rosselle says. ?We give people the tools they need to get the look they are after without spending a fortune.?
Cheryl Ferrara, a new customer to The Bedroom Furniture Source, says, ?I was trying to find a comforter with a high thread count when I came across The Bedroom Furniture Source online. I was a little hesitant about making a purchase online, but I am glad I ordered from them.?
?I ended up with a high quality product at the best price around. I plan to order new comforters for my sisters for Christmas,? Ferrara adds.

Save Money On Furniture
Save Money On Furniture
by: Jeff Lakie
Buying furniture can be very expensive. After all, next to your house and your car, furniture is one of the priciest things in your home. So any time you can save money, you should! Here are some tips to buying furniture inexpensively.
Look in the Yellow Pages for a furniture wholesaler or a liquidation or discount store. Often, their furniture is as good as the kind you will get in a retail outlet, but usually cheaper because of a minor flaw (and usually you won't notice that flaw!).
You can also buy from a furniture warehouse where the salespeople are paid by commission. Using a number of purchasing tactics you can often get it at a better deal. For example, if you buy a couch, but would really like to own a couch and a chair, ask if you could get a deal if you buy both.
Another good way to save money when you're buying furniture is to go in toward the end of the month. Most retail companies...

How to Design a Child Bedroom?
by: Shrinivas Vaidya
Dear friends,
Children at age of 1 1/2 start to walk, talk and express themselves. Their parents are the role models for them.
They learn to perform action which their parent teach them.
Based on these teachings children very quickly learn a
taste about everything in life. This includes, the food
they eat, the kind of toys they play with, the kind of friends they will make etc..
For a growing child it is necessary to explore new things, apart from what his/her mom/dad teaches. A bedroom is a great place to do this. When planned properly, a child bedroom can greatly enhance his/her learning experience.
Children have a curious mind. Even a child which is yet to speak, this curiosity can be easily traced by looking at the broken toys, torn books, etc..
That's why as a bedroom designer creating spaces within the

Case Goods
Case Goods
by: Angela Oliver
Case goods are essential for a bedroom or living room setting. Not only do they add elegance to the room, but they are also functional and keep the room from looking cluttered. Different types of case goods that are available include bookcases, chest of drawers, cupboards and wardrobes.
Book cases are a great design element to add to any room. If there are lots of books to store or put on display, they can be showcased on the bookcases. Bookcases can also be decorated with other home furnishing accessories. By adding a picture frame, some flowers, candles, decorative book ends, and bookcase can really enhance the look of the room. Also use fabrics to drape over or around the book shelf to create soft edges and give the room a cozy feeling.
A chest of drawers is an essential element for any bedroom. They are very important for storing goods and other fine goods. A chest also serves as a vanity which can be...

Buying Furniture at Yard Sales
Buying Furniture at Yard Sales
by: Bob Benson
Buying furniture pieces at yard sales offers many options, but you must look closely to know what you?re getting.
Are you interested in trying your hand at some creative furniture painting? If you don?t already have an old piece of furniture to practice on, shopping yard sales is the best way to come up with a piece.
If you are buying the yard sale furniture for the sake of practicing your creative idea, buy away! If you are looking for a particular piece to use, take time to look the furniture over to make sure you are getting a solid piece at a good deal.
For instance, if you want to buy a small dresser for a guest room and want to give it a country look, your first concern should be the stability of the furniture. You can give almost any style the look you want, as long as the furniture is sturdy and in good condition. Look to see if any of the wood is buckling or if the piece has...

Buying Furniture Online Can Be Safer Than Offline
Buying Furniture Online Can Be Safer Than Offline
by: Joel Walsh
Furniture sales have historically been a major area of consumer complaints. Luckily, there are a number of reasons why buying furniture online may be safer than offline.
No Fast-Talking Salesmen
Many complaints say the furniture salesperson made promises that were not kept. In reality, furniture salespeople don't always know what they're talking about. The actual fulfillment of furniture orders is often handled by a different department, or even a different company.
Not having salespeople hanging around makes online furniture shopping lower-pressure.
It's All in Writing
By their very nature, online furniture stores have to put a lot of information in writing. The written policies regarding shipping, warranties (if any), and customer service will almost always be easy to access. (Hint: look for links to written policies at the bottom of each web page.) The...
