We moved house in April and the decor in the lounge is really annoying me now. Basically it is a big room (sort of lounge/diner size) with a pinky purple carpet and matching curtains at the patio doors. The walls are a dark pinky purple wallpaper on the bottom half, have a cream dado(sp) rail, then have a light pinky purple wallpaper with darker flowers on the top half (plus a matching border above the dado rail as they seemed to be obsessed by borders!)

Although I like pinky purple it’s all a bit much so I want to redecorate. We can’t really afford to get a new carpet or curtains so need to do something with the walls to calm it down a bit. I was thinking of just magnolia but the there is also a cream fireplace and I’m not sure if that would look strange.

So I’m looking for some decorating suggestions/ideas

I am looking for a wallpaper border that I believe has been discontinued. I am told it was manufactured by Village, who is now Blue Mountain. I am not positive of this but that is the information I received. I am having no luck finding it anywhere. The border has an assortment of flowers, a white picket fence, kittens, butterflies,and a backpack hanging on the fence. Any ideas where I can find it?

I’m looking for websites that feature ideas for painting a child’s bedroom. I’m especially looking for stripes, flowers, clouds, or any cute girly design. I’m not into wallpaper borders or stick on decals though. Thanks for your help!
