My kids (on The Sims 3) seem to be so different from each other, I have no idea how to decorate their space in a way that isn’t obnoxious and doesn’t clash!

If you had the following children, how would you decorate the following space?

6-year-old boy, dreams of being a musician someday, likes purple (though blue works also)
5-year-old boy, young computer geek, generally much more masculine than his brother, likes green
3-year-old girl, likes drawing and having books read to her, but also has a dark side unexpected in a girl her age

They sleep in the (finished) basement.
The boys share a bedroom, and the girl has her own bedroom.
Each bedroom has an attached bathroom.
The rest of the basement is a play/study area, with a computer, a table and chairs, a rug under the table, a toy oven (which will probably be replaced by a microwave when they get older), a couch, and a TV. An easel and a dollhouse managed to migrate down there, too, and there will probably be a bookcase when the space gets too cluttered with loose books.

This is on The Sims 3, so every object, floor, wallpaper, or door is recolorable. Use your imaginations!

Fox noise desk personalities never let a guest speaker finish a sentance unless they agree with the speaker yet they claim to be all-American. To stone wall an oppostion speaker is anti-American. Also this sets a bad example for kids and young people that people in high places get there by being rude and dirrespectful. Do you find Fix Noise smug arrogant hosts to be disturbing and repulsive ?

Poop Dawg’s name is a play on Snoop Dogg’s name, though he looks similar to Goofy. This episode was originally supposed to air just a few days after September 11th, 2001. However, due to some of the scenes in this episode that originally contained New York in flames, this episode needed to be changed in order to make it more appropriate. However, the un-changed version was still aired on accident, though it has since then never aired in the United States. When Zim was selling candy to the Grout family, there was a Krazy Taco commercial playing on their television. Poop Dawg was originally going to be Poopsy the Clown. This is the episode that “big head jokes” first started making an appearance. As Dib says “Man Zim, Defeats made you crazy” The mouth on his shirt is curved downwards making it look like a Sad face. At the beginning of the episode, when you see the tower of cards on Dib’s table, the 3 and ace of clubs near the top are black, when they should be red. Zim does not show any allergic reaction to getting sprayed with the hose although in previous continuity we are lead to believe that Irkens can not handle water. At the beginning of the epĂ®sode Ms. Bitters mentions a desk shortage forcing the kids to use random things in place, however at the end of the episode all the kids have normal desks again. The Grout children were originally dining on cockroaches before they were changes to wienies. One cockroach can still be seen climbing up the wall as Zim enters the

I am opening a daycenter. Yes, it’s approved by the government. Right now, I’m in the process (along with the people who opened it with me) to:
- hire employee’s
- organize which rooms are needed, where, what they are for, etc
- decorate rooms

Right now, I’ve decided to work on figuring out what each room is going to be for. I’d like those of you in a childcare bussiness to approve it. Look it over and tell me what your suggestions are. Obviously this is a stressful thing.

Little Ones Cradle (6 weeks to crawling)- We are only going to have 8 babies in her at the most. This room will have 8 little cribs lined up with the works, mobile, bedding, blankets, and comfort items. Of course we have 2 changing tables with each child’s diapers, wipes, etc. We have a 9 block cubby section with a basket for each child. This is to keep 2 sets of extra clothes, coat, and shoes. There will be a glider to rock the children to sleep or feed bottles. In addition we have a feeding table up for those who are starting to eat foods. Then of course we have a play area with age appropiate toys.

Inch Worms (crawling to walking)- This room is similar to the Little Ones Cradle, however instead of 1 big room, there is a wall with a door dividing it. One side has cribs, changing tables, cubbies, gliders, and feeding tables. Then on the other side of the door, we have an entire play area. All are are appropiate and safe, plus the entire area is covered in a bright cheerful mat to keep the children from hurting themselves.

Tiny Footsteps (walking to 3 years old)- This room has a mat flooring for safety reasons. There are lots of toys. Plus a story area for the children.

STILL NEED A NAME FOR THIS ROOM (3 years old to 4 years old)- This room first has a morning/afternoon circle. Then we have lots different centers for center time, science, math, blocks and building, library, ABC center, manipulative play, sand/water table, acting center (puppets, puppet show area, dress-up clothes, stage), play kitchen, dolls, and computers.

Busy Bees (4 years old to 5 years old)- This room is almost the same. It has a circle area for the opening/closing circle. Then there are many centers for the kids to play in inculding science, math, blocks and building, library, ABC center, manipulative play, sand/water table, acting center (puppets, puppet show area, dress-up clothes, stage), play kitchen, dolls, and computers.

Hungry House (lunch room)- This room is obviously to eat lunch!

Mighty Jungle (Indoor Gym)- Huge room with slides, mats, and climbing. It replaces our outdoor area on rainy days.

Sleeping Beauties (nap room)- This room is just an empty room that will have cots for the children over 2 and a few cribs for the children under 2 but in Tiny Footsteps.

Little Picasso (art room)- The art room is a joy for most the children. We have fun projects for them to complete each day. They begin going to the art room then they begin to crawl.

Motzarts In Training (music room)- The children have lots of fun in this room. They learn to play instruments, sing, dance, clap beats, and move with music. All children come to this room starting when they begin to crawl.

What do you think? Also if anyone can think of a name for 3 years old to 4 years old I would love it!
blondie- Yes, the Inch Worms will be eating in their room. I agree way to hectic for them to be eating in the regular lunch room.

Nothing gross here (they are kids). Break some statues, color on the walls, spill juice on the desk in the Oval office?

The original bed and desk concept that saves space and time… in no time at all. Manufacturers, suppliers and installers of hidden beds for your home, office, workshop, guest room, business, apartment and holiday home.

We help decorate eachother’s houses by taking turns to go to a friend’s house and paint and decorate a room. The home owner recipient has their plan for the room, buys all materials of course, and has drinks and food and provides a nice lunch for everybody. We play music and socialize as we work.

Any suggestions on getting it off the ground. How can I get my friends to go for it? Most of them live in rentals. Should I try to make new friends online or some other way to start my club?
