Help with decorating. (Beach themed bedroom)?

Question

So I'm redoing my bedroom. Right now it's like a hodgepodge of everything and I'm so sick of it. My walls have like...shards of wallpaper stuck on them and its so gross. It's just generally a not to great place to be for a long period of time.

I'm getting the wallpaper taken off next monday and i'm painting the walls a light blue. I'm doing white trim and white curtains. I;m going for a beach theme.

I've pretty much got everything together for it but my problem is with my wood furniture. None of it matches!! Well, my night tables match each other but nothing else. My bed is kind of a pecan wood with wrought iron scroll work, my book shelf is cherry wood, as is my vaniety. My desk and TV stand are some random wood color...my furniture is mostly MDF or just plain pressed fiber board so I can't sand and stain them. I don't think I could paint either... Like i could paint everything and that'd be fine but my bed would look so weird. I just got it so I don't wanna mess it up.

I've had my room looking like c**p for so long, I want to have it look put together. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

So what you would have to do if you can't paint your bed is to leave it as is and paint the rest of the furniture white.  Then, add a natural coloured rug by your bed - something made of natural fibres - either bamboo or something light beize (sizel?).  

You can certainly paint MDF.  It is very easy.  Just sand very lightly and wipe clean then apply a primer.  It is very much worth the effort.  If would make everything look like it belongs.

I'm not sure of the exact steps to do this, but you could make all your wood look the same color by sanding it down a little and lightly brushing it with white paint. This will give it the beachish white washed look. It will really go well with your theme too.
