    I have also been looking for space themed bedding for my sun and thought this website had a good selection. I also have a couple of the Ikea things mention before (the space mobile and the star shaped light) and the look great.

    I am painting the room pale blue and am considering using a special effect paint, that gives a silver glitter effect on one wall.

    hope this helps icon12.gif
  • We did a space bedroom for my son last year.
    Duvet cover from Matalan & Argos. We rag-rolled the walls for a spacy feel with dark blue on top of a lighter blue. Glow in the dark stars and moons stuck all over the walls.
    We also bought some solar planets and constellations posters.
    We painted some cartoon planets on the walls using tester pots.
    Just have fun.

    We stuck sliver foil onto one wall of my little brothers room and put glow in the dark stars and planets on it, it looks really cool.
    Does anyone know where to get cheap glow in the dark stars from, ive tried the £ shops etc in my area but i can't find any. E Bay seem to be pricie.
    I remember when this was just a little website! :money:

    Our local Asda had the single space duvet and pillowcase set on sale yesterday for £3.77 - the matching curtains were £4.77 I believe. The also had a princess set and a set called costume party for the same price. Our room is already done but I was almost tempted to buy more as it was so cheap!
