my best friend and her brother are coming to visit me in a month and i want to jazz up my extra bedroom so it's nicer to stay in. anyone have any suggestions of websites i can go to (besides ikea) that have cheap stuff but not crap. ikea's stuff always breaks on me after a few months or so.
thanx

http://www.roominteriorproducts.… has some nice stuff sometimes. Cheap and pretty modern. Especially the inflatable chillout room is very cool!
Oh and use colored lights. Colored light is great, because you can change color schemes over and over again without using paint :)

taragee, why do you say that?
i looked at your site but scripts in the flash arent working. looks nice though.

that site that you linked that picture from is nice but the items are priceyyy

Extremely pricey. I think the one in the image is about $5 k Hahaha.
The good thing is that you can make one yourself for less than $60 :)

a recent issue of readymade mag (actually, it was probably fall 2002) showed how you can make a lamp similar to the one reluct posted for little $

I have two words for you:
e-bay
well, one letter and one word... and a hyphen, my flatmate is addicted to ebay and has decked out our house brilliantly with retro objects from the 50's through to the 70's. Its amazing what you can find at op-shops and garage sales (will translate for non-australians - op-shop = thrift shop, ummm, st.vincent de paul... umm, you know second hand shops and antique shops...
garage sale = yard sale (i think))
okay I have one more word for you -
theme..
once you find a theme for a room you'll be able to find all sorts of things that loosely tie into that theme...
