How should I redo my room?

I am a 17 (almost 18) year old girl. My parents are finally letting me redo my room. My room right now is pale coral pink, but I don't really like it any more; it is too baby-ish and the color is hard to match, so I have had the same bedspread since I was five. I have red maple furniture. I have a very small room (9 feet by ten feet) with one window. My favorite color is pink (any shade), but I also really like green and blue. I want my room to have a grown-up feel, but still be fun, if that makes any sense.

I would really like to paint my walls a pink color, maybe a dark raspberry, and have a white bedspread. Besides that, I have NO idea what to do. How should I decorate the walls? What colors go with raspberry?

Any help, links, or anything else, is much appreciated.

Thank you!
Everyone I know knows not to touch my bed (I have OCD), so greasy fingers and shoe stains will not be a problem. But thank you for helping! I love the fifth link!

Answer
I agree, it's time for your room to be that of a young woman rather than a girl.

With red maple furniture, I'd hesitate to have the pink I love be the wall color. Red maple is a rich orange-ish brown which isn't a great coordinate.

I'm also not a fan of the white bedspread, because of reality: it won't be white for long, even if you're pretty careful with it. Someone will put their shoes on it, or their dirty backpack, or touch it with greasy fingers, like that.

I did a fast search for "bedroom decor pink blue green" and got some great rooms to show you. Most use either blue or green as the main color with pops of raspberry or brighter pink, and I think they look great. Check 'em out:

I really like the one that's light blue with the lime green and pink accents.

OMG I'M PREGNANT AND I'M IN COLLEGE!?

Ashley

okay, so me and my fiance had sex and well, we didn't use a condom. i know, stupid of us. well my period didn't come and i took a pregnancy test i had in my backpack and it said pregnant. what can i do? do i have to drop out? what do i do?! i'm freaking out
Getting an obortion seems really sad. I'm not going to punish my baby for a mistake I did.

Answer
Ok, first and foremost calm down. I do not know why being pregnant would lead you to believe that dropping out is the only or best option. Take a second to digest this. It is summer time, we are out of school. You will not be showing when school starts. I advise you go to school in the fall of 2010, then during christmas break, take online courses and continue to take online courses till the fall of 2011. That way your baby will have been born, and than after Christmas break of next year, go back to school full time and try to get a job at a daycare now!! That way you can get some experience, make some money, and save on childcare when the new one arrives. Congrats and good luck!!
