Planning Your Room Theme

Putting together a room theme? Then you'll want to consider these areas as you make your plans.

What room are you going to be using? Is it painted, wallpapered, will it need to be primed or stripped?
Is there any furniture that must stay? If it stays, can it be painted or altered? Can you get new furniture?
What color scheme? Are you constrained because you rent?
Do you have any accessories that can be used in the room? Can you save on your budge by re-using something from another part of your house and changing it up by reupholstery, or painting, or staining?
How hands-on are you - are you crafty, can you paint artistically or not? What about stencils or stamps?
How big is your room? Are you plans too big for your room?
Stuck for ideas? what are your favorite things?
