You Don't Have to Scream

There is something about a "themed" room that simply undoes me.  When I see them, they make me twitch.  I think it's great to include items in your space that evoke a feeling or represent something you love.  But, it should whisper, not scream.  Here are few examples.

Cover your ears.

I know, it's like a bad car accident.  You don't want to look, but you just can't help yourself.

Please make it stop.



At this point, your eyes may be burning a bit.  So, you may want to close them and count to ten.  {I'll wait.}  OK, now for the "whisper."  You can create the feeling by hinting at the theme.  Like this.

These are all in the beach category, but trust me, I found lots in almost every category under the sun!  Do you have a theme you love or loathe?
