Bedroom Decorating Ideas: Modern and Sophisticated
Combining modern and traditional elements, with sophisticated results
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 30
In the bedroom, a careful blend between modern and traditional yields sophisticated results. Graceful curves, classic palettes, and pretty details combine with bold colors, contemporary patterns, and strong lines to create a wonderful and ever-stylish fusion.
In this master bedroom, an intense turquoise pairs with rich chocolate browns in a masterful mix of masculine and feminine. A tufted headboard with a curvaceous white lacquer frame provides a striking contrast to the masculine ikat textile that upholsters the padded walls and the striped woven leather rug that spans the floor.
Spicy Mod Bedroom
This mod-inspired bedroom captures the spirit of the 1960s while highlighting modern lines and patterns. A powerful orange velvet headboard floats in front of a wall of white sheers. Vintage bedside table lamps are updated with bubblegum pink shades. Hot tangerine and coral create drama against glossy white walls and furnishings.
Vibrant Green & Purple Bedroom
Chartreuse and lavender is the unlikely color combination in this master bedroom. Artwork and bed linens appear in eye-popping hues that energize the space. Henredon tiered tables with chunky crystal lamps from Circa Lighting flank this bedroom's Louis J. Solomon bamboo headboard.
Playfully Masculine Bedroom
A retro sunburst above the bed serves as the focal point of this showhouse bedroom, designed by Matt Murphy. A long area rug designed by Murphy was inspired by the lines of a man's tailored suit; pops of bright color add a dose of informality to the space. The graphic lines of the rug complement the sharp lines of the room's modern furniture.
"I have a consistent personal style that rides the fence between traditional and modern," Murphy explains. "I like rooms with classic lines and contemporary forms, but with a level of formality."
Glam Pink Bedroom
Hot pink wraps this bedroom in no-frills glam. A shapely vintage mirror hangs above the bed, reminiscent of Victorian days but with a utilitarian edge. An antique French chair gets a mod makeover with hot pink Ultrasuede, and a classic dresser is plated with mirrors for a touch of shine. Pink flowers stand out against white on the bedspread, elevating the contemporary look.
Chic Loft Bedroom
Textures mix and mingle in this Los Angeles loft designed by Kenneth Brown. Intriguing large-scale wallpaper enlarges the space, while drapery made of black waxed linen creates height. Sexy faux-fur covers the faux-crocodile bed. A Parisian street map is cut into tenths and framed individually to create a geometric pattern against the plum-colored paisley print.
Elegant White Bedroom
Iron rods attached to the ceiling hold heavenly linen bed curtains that puddle to the floor. The tall caramel-colored headboard also adds height and drama to the room.
Feminine Blue Bedroom
Custom wall treatments in this blue bedroom extend to the ceiling, where a lacy pattern was stenciled for an ultra-feminine effect. A contemporary chandelier from Currey & Company lights the space, its texture complementing the clean lines on the bookcase, wooden flooring, and area rug.
Organic & Relaxed Bedroom
San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge was the inspiration behind this spectacular showhouse bedroom. Manila ropes fastened to the ceiling suspend the bed in midair. Organic materials, soft lighting, and natural hues remind guests of the serenity of the bay outside.
Rich Brown & Blue Master Bedroom
Designer Gary Mertin raised the bedroom's ceiling and added beams to create a vertical dynamic. The walls are painted a light blue to maintain the desired soothing effect without detracting from the strong grays and browns. A gray coverlet softens the rich chocolate bed frame, and an original acrylic painting hangs above the fireplace.
Pretty Pink Master Bedroom
Soft and playful colors wrap this room in sweet serenity. Crisscross- and trellis-patterned fabric and wallpaper keep a light geometric pattern flowing throughout. The bedroom's centerpiece is an iron bed by Niermann Weeks. Curtains extend over the closet space, adding texture and contour to the pink walls. Shots of color in the pillows and artwork ensure that the room stays lively.
Neutral & Natural Master Bedroom
Mixing masculine and feminine sensibilities, designer Julie Dodson wrapped this showhouse master bedroom in a delicate tree mural rendered in warm neutral colors. Covering the bed's tufted frame in satiny, taupe-colored vinyl gave the tailored piece the appearance of leather. Rich chocolate tones provide contrast against the creamy bedding.
Globally Inspired Bedroom
Color takes the reigns in this showhouse guest room, designed by Wayne Nathan and Carol Egan. They were inspired by ethnic heritages and multinational pieces, like the elegant but organic Japanese bed and the African mud chandelier hanging above. Textiles on the bed and window curtains pop with vibrant color; the artwork above the bed was covered in blue Lucite to maintain the playful scheme.
Pastel Bedroom
Anchored by the commanding poster bed flanked by twin tables and end-noted with matching white-painted side chairs, this showhouse bedroom is pure symmetry. A skyscraping tufted headboard maximizes vertical space in the long room. Lamps are from Circa Lighting; bed linens and duvet are from Beacon Hill.
Luxurious & Graphic Bedroom
A regal chandelier and matching wall sconces mix with satin bolster pillows and twin platinum gourd lamps flanking the bed. One of the most compelling design components of this master bedroom is the presentation of art above the bed. The repeating mini-squares are framed rubber ducks—a bit of humor that packs a wallop of strong graphics.
Soft Green Bedroom
This monochromatic master suite is awash in elegant pale green with soft accents of cream and stone. An ivory console table with a contrasting turquoise top and drawers makes a striking bedside table. A bed upholstered in a geometric-patterned brown-and-cream fabric adds a contemporary note to the room.
Glamorous Lilac Bedroom
Taking their cue from the world of haute couture and Paris runways, designers Skye Kirby and Diane Karmen started with an elegant lilac base, then sprinkled a smattering of accessories and jewel-like accents throughout. Lush linens dress the glam four-poster bed. A mirrored bed frame and glimmering dresser add sparkle.
Dramatic Master Bedroom
Floating the custom wing bed in the middle of the master bedroom was a bold move by designer Denise Macey. The outcome was a beautifully symmetrical room with plenty of space left around the bedroom for additional seating and larger furnishings. Beyond the bed are the dressing room, closet, and master bathroom.
Unique & Artistic Guest Room
A tufted custom bed that recalls the style of an old English knole sofa cements this guest room's unique feel. Designers Benjamin Bradley and David Thiergartner say that the bed was made for guests to "feel very cosseted and safe when lying there," explains Bradley. The room's momentum builds with the shaggy rope chair from Holly Hunt, a globe collection, and art by Michael Allen Lowe displayed on an easel.
Bold Red Bedroom
A bold red-and-white Decortex fabric dresses the windows and the Euro shams on the bed. Cowhide panels on the floor add unique charm. A Chelsom Lighting fixture and Phillip Plein leather headboard speak to a modern sensibility.
See more from this home on the following slide.
Heavenly White Master Bedroom
Canopy sheers frame the bed's tall tufted headboard in the master bedroom. Fluffy sheepskin rugs add to the plush comfort of the space.
Artistic & Peaceful Bedroom
A light-hearted mix of artwork, color, and pattern echoes in this master bedroom. A palette of cool gray coats the space in serenity; shots of color in the bed pillows maintains the energy level. A sculptural silver-leaf pendant light from World's Away hangs from the vaulted ceiling above.
Beach-Inspired Bedroom
This bedroom was inspired by the seashore. Designer Paige Schnell upholstered the bed in a taupe cotton velvet and added a dramatic chandelier above for subtle glamour. Mirrored bedside tables lend classic elegance.
Glamorous Purple and Toffee Bedroom
A tall hotel-style headboard upholstered with mohair adds the illusion of height in this room. Shimmering fabrics, mirrors, and Lucite bedside lamps add a touch of glamour. The colors of the Fortuny-style painted silk chandelier sparked the moody color palette.
Serene Blue Master Bedroom
The palette for this master bedroom is toned down for serenity. "Hot House Flowers" printed linen by Celerie Kemble adorns the headboard, pillows, chairs, and a bench. The dusty blue floral pattern complements the geometric walls and Tamarian rug in similar hues.
Black & White Guest Room
Stark black-and-white contrasts give this guest room a masculine vibe. The sisal carpet, wicker ottomans, and coral displayed on the window ledge lend an organic feel; sliding closet doors save space and provide continuity along the walls.
Dreamy Blue Bedroom
With the low, wide bed, intriguing artwork, and plenty of pattern, this master bedroom reads contemporary while still appearing restful. The custom "Rosettes" carpet from Stark injects dynamic movement into the serenity created with custom-painted walls by Donald Kaufman Color. The artwork above the bed and with the painted-mirror bedside cabinet from Mitchell Yanosky Custom Finishes lend dreamlike whimsy.
Harmonious Master Bedroom
This master bedroom goes glam with traditional architecture and modern furnishings. Contemporary sass comes in the form of a gilt-trimmed custom iron-and-upholstery bed by Smiley, custom antique-mirrored bedside chests, and vintage Murano glass lamps. Busy circular fabric on the bed is balanced with the Greek key pattern on the caramel leather benches and the clean lines of the area rug.

Sometimes you just don't have the time of the energy to make dinner but you still want something tasty. It is at times like these that I like a quick pasta such as a carbonara pasta. The carbonara sauce comes together easily and in less time than it takes to boil the pasta. A typical carbonara sauce consists of egg yolks, parmigiano reggiano, pancetta and black pepper. One of the reasons that I like carbonara is that you can play around with it by adding different things. Shrimp is one of my favorite foods and I had been wanting to try a shrimp carbonara for a while. The shrimp carbonara did not disappoint; It was nice and light and tasty and the succulent shrimp worked well in the carbonara pasta. It was a super quick dish that did not compromise in flavour.
Shrimp Carbonara
- 2 ounces linguine (gluten free for gluten free)
- 4 slices bacon (chopped)
- 1/4 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 clove garlic (chopped)
- pepper to taste
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1/4 cup parmigiano reggiano
- 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped)
- Start cooking the pasta.
- Fry the bacon in a pan and set aside.
- Drain most of the bacon grease from the pan but reserving about 1 tablespoons worth.
- Add the shrimp, garlic and pepper and saute until just cooked.
- Mix the egg yolk, heavy cream and parmigiano reggiano in a bowl.
- Drain the cooked pasta reserving some of the water.
- Add the pasta to the pan and toss.
- Remove the pan from the heat and wait for the sizzling to stop.
- Add the egg mixture and toss to coat.
- Add a bit of the pasta water and toss to mix and coat.

Bathroom Rugs for Comfort and Convenience
It's all too easy to overlook the importance of bathroom rugs. Just imagine taking the most refreshing and soothing shower or bath you've had in a long, long time. Brushing aside the shower curtains, some warm and fluffy bath towels are waiting to envelope you inside their luxuriously soft embrace. Drying off, you step out of the tub and onto the cold, cold tile floor—and in a second, you're jolted out of that smooth and relaxed state of mind! Or worse, you end up taking a nasty slip backward into the tub. Avoid this exact scenario by investing in a set of bathroom rugs. Not only do they protect your feet, they're an invaluable way of adding some color and variation to the bathroom! Coordinate with the shower curtain or the color of the wallpaper and create a bathroom design language that speaks of warmth, comfort and peace of mind.
Colorful Bath Mats Serve Many Purposes
Look out for that slippery floor! Add strategically placed bath mats or bath rugs right under where your feet go—it's surprising how much they can help out! Some have memory foam to help cushion and pamper your feet after a relaxing bath—how divine it feels! Many feature non-skid and non-slip material for stable footing. You've probably felt that cold touch of icy tile when you step into the bathroom first thing in the morning, which then jars you out of your sleepy morning daze. Adding comfy, cozy bath mats to your bathroom is one way to avoid such an abrupt awakening. Buy mats separately or in a collection, which includes mats of various sizes and a toilet lid cover. Whether its separates or a collection, a rousing red or tame green, your bath mats from JCPenney are sure to be a welcome addition to the rest of your colorful bed and bath collection.

It's last call for Colossus.
The Southern California roller coaster that was the world's tallest and fastest when it opened in 1978 retires Saturday outside the top 10 in both categories.
Continue Reading Below
Six Flags Magic Mountain expects thousands of prospective riders on Colossus' last day, and a protest is planned by a group seeking to save the roller coaster.
The mostly white wooden former giant is 125 feet tall and reaches a top speed of 62 mph.
Six months after it debuted 36 years ago, a woman was ejected from her car and killed.
It's no longer even the biggest or fastest in its corner of the park. Goliath, a much bigger behemoth, now towers over Colossus.
Six Flags has not said what is planned in its place.

TAUNTON — The City Council voted on Tuesday night to support a $2.1 million project to construct new bleachers at the Taunton High School football stadium.
The nine-member City Council voted unanimously to fund the project with a $1.6 million bond and $500,000 that was already agreed to by the School Committee. The council narrowed down project designs to two similar choices — including a $2.11 million design and a $2.38 million design — and specified that stadium project will use a steel understructure for the new bleachers.
The vote also created a project committee, headed by Taunton Public Schools Superintendent Julie Hackett. The committee is tasked with making final decisions based on limited set of preliminary designs that the city developed for the project. The committee's decisions will include whether the seats themselves will be made of aluminum or steel, and how handicapped access will be provided for a new press box, using either a ramp or a limited-use lift.
The stadium project would only produce new bleachers for the home side of the field. The visitors-side bleachers will not be reconstructed, according to the project plans. City councilors said on Tuesday night that fans from both teams would watch on what has traditionally been the Taunton Tigers home side of the stands.
During the meeting, City Council President A.J. Marshall said that it was now time to vote on the project, to get it into motion, instead of kicking it further down the road.
"I would love a decision tonight," he said.
Taunton Superintendent of Buildings Wayne Walkden, who will be the project manager, presented the city's plans for the project to the City Council.
Walkden also gave the council the option of building a bathroom facility near the end zone closest to the stadium entrance, although this only had limited support from the city councilors, who were not interested in paying an extra $130,000 and obtaining an additional variance that would be required for the structure. Walkden said the benefit of moving the bathroom facility away from the home bleachers, where they have been located in the past, would be that it would make it easier to build visitors seating in the future.
Under the plans presented by Walkden, there would be a two-story press box, made of pre-fabricated materials. It would be double the size of the current press box, by adding a second level. Previously, the plans called for a brick press box, but those plans were scrapped, as part of revisions that saved over a $1 million in project costs.
City Councilor David Pottier added to the motion funding the project, ensuring that the spending is done in accordance with the plans presented by Walkden on Tuesday night.
Another part of the motion was to send a list of the members of the project committee, once they are selected, to the City Council Public Property Subcommittee. The councilors also asked that at least one member of the City Council be included on the project committee.
"It's been a long and involved process looking at the stadium options," Hackett said after the meeting adjourned. "It gets difficult when it comes to decision-making in public forums. But it was a good process and in the end we were able to save more money than we thought possible. I'm pleased with the decision and everyone involved. It's good for the city because we are going to have bleachers that are safe, and a facility that is good for community use."

Laminate or Hardwood? What's Right for Your Home?
This is a tough question but finding the right flooring for your space is important. Quality flooring will last you for many years and you want something that you will be happy with for a long time. So first, let's make sure we understand the difference between the two.
Hardwood flooring is just what the name says – floors made from hardwood. But, there are actually two major types of hardwood floors – solid and engineered. For more information on the different types of hardwood, read our post: BEAUTIFUL & CLASSIC – HARDWOOD FLOORS TO FIT ANY SPACE
Photo: Carpet One Floor & Home Learn more about hardwood floors.
Laminate flooring is actually a four-layer sandwich constructed of a protective wear layer over a decorative sheet containing the pattern, which is supported by a rigid core and a bottom balancing layer to help prevent warping. The decorative sheet can have a pattern that looks like hardwood, tile or stone but right now, we'll just talk about laminate that looks like wood.
Photo: Carpet One Floor & Home. Learn more about laminate floors.
Where will the floors be installed? If your room is below grade or very moist, laminate is probably the better option. Some engineered hardwood floors are appropriate for these areas but laminate would be the safer bet.
Photo: Carpet One Floor & Home. Learn more about laminate floors.
If budget is a factor, laminate may be your best bet. You'l l get all the beauty of wood and durability at a lower price point.
If you think you may want to change the stain color of your floor, solid hardwood offers you the option to sand and refinish. Refinishing is not an option with laminate floors.
If you like the look of hand-scraping or unique variations in grain, you'll have more options that will fit your needs in hardwood.
Both laminate and hardwood floors will provide you with that timeless, natural look you're craving. Make a list of your priorities to help you choose which floor is right for you and your home.

York reunites inmate moms, children
East Lyme - A little girl tugs at her pink-patterned sun dress. With her matching pink rhinestone flip-flops, she is dressed as if she's going to church or to a friend's birthday party.
But instead, she's going to a prison, the York Correctional Institution, to visit her mother.
"When can I see my mommy?" she asks the woman waiting beside her in the lobby of the prison visiting center. The woman just smiles. A correction officer calls out a last name and the two rise to make their way to the visiting room. One at a time, they walk through a metal detector.
In a small holding area, a group is forming. Suddenly a metal door slides open. The little girl, about 6 years old, smiles, knowing she's inching closer to seeing her mother.
This particular visit on a recent Saturday is special. Outside of normal visiting hours, the Mom and Me program takes place every other month. Created in 2012 under then-Warden Kevin Gause, it allows inmates who meet certain criteria to visit with their children for nearly two hours instead of the standard one-hour visit.
"We realized that there was other collateral damage, that there were other people around that were getting punished by the offender's incarceration," Counselor Supervisor Damian Doran said. "We recognized that the children were getting punished when they didn't do anything wrong."
Mom and Me visits also allow personal interaction. Mother and child may sit next to each other, exchange countless hugs, play board games or do a craft project. For nearly two hours on visiting day, the inmate is not known by a number. She is simply "Mom."
It's different from the regular, sterile visit, where the offender sits in a burgundy chair and, across the table, the visitor sits in a white chair, and personal contact is limited to a brief hug or kiss.
A door opens and the little girl runs into her mother's arms. Today, they'll paint a birdhouse and play board games.
Doran said input from a survey and a focus group that included inmates and prison staff helped design the program. To participate, offenders must submit an application to librarian Joseph Lea. A committee of educational, mental health services and parenting professionals determines whether the inmate may participate. Lea then forwards a list to social worker Laura Selsky so she can tell the mothers the results.
To qualify, inmates either must be enrolled or have completed a parenting program and must be free of active disciplinary tickets. The children - ages 18 and younger - have to be on an approved visitors list. Inmates may participate three times a year - for a maximum of three, two-hour visits - and may earn an extra visit if they serve as a program volunteer.
"We really want them to be better parents and connect with their children," Doran said. "The fact they showed interest, completed a program, makes us believe that they are more serious about being a better parent for their child."
'Guilt and shame'
Half of the 1,130 females at York as of July 2 had one or more dependents, according to the state Department of Correction. On this day, 11 mothers visit with 19 children and are joined by three workers from the state Department of Children and Families.
But not everyone gets a visit. Five inmates are left disappointed when their children don't show up. One of those is Heather Enslow, 37, of Salisbury, who didn't realize she had to re-apply to the program for each visit.
Enslow is serving a four-year sentence for stealing money from the elderly woman she cared for. A growing Percocet addiction after an elective surgery led her to steal.
Before that, she was a typical mom. She attended school events, made home-cooked meals and cared for her 11-year-old twins and 19-year-old daughter. Now her husband cares for them by himself.
"I never left my children," Enslow said. "It's such an adjustment not being home with them. I'm missing their school years. Every day I feel guilt and shame, but I try to work through it."
Enslow said she first participated in the Mom and Me program in April, and the experience was wonderful.
She and her children made cards, did origami, played Jenga and Chutes and Ladders. She spent one-on-one time with each of her kids in case they needed to tell her something.
"It felt like freedom," Enslow said. "It was the first time in a year that I felt that way. I felt like a mother again."
Painting birdhouses, playing Sorry
During the visit, the women guide their children through activities such as painting birdhouses.
Janet Lamb, a volunteer through the Norwich Diocese's prison ministry, manages the birdhouse table. She smiles at the children, presenting them with a paintbrush and a Styrofoam bowl filled with colored paint.
"Which one do you want to choose?" one woman asks her two adolescent daughters. She asks her son whether he'd like to paint. He initially resists, standing back, but when he sees they are enjoying themselves, he reaches for a birdhouse, too.
"I knew you would want to paint one," the mother says, smiling and gently stroking his head.
Lamb, a nurse for 30 years, said she has been volunteering at the prison for a year.
"As a nurse, you learn a lot about personalities," Lamb said. "One thing I learned, it could be any one of us. Where's the fine line between me and them? What gave us the coping mechanism?"
In between rounds of playing Sorry, a heavily tattooed mother visits with her two adolescent sons. A DCF social worker sits far enough away to give them space but still be able to listen.
The mother tells the younger boy he needs to be more respectful of his caretaker. If he keeps acting up, they will be separated. The boy and his mother both start to cry. She tells him that she can't live without him.
But then the conversation quickly turns more mundane and less serious. The boys fill their mother in on the latest happenings at home, even gossip about relatives.
They laugh as they take turns. She tells the boys, "You need a career, not a job. You have to do something with yourself."
Visits lift spirits
Gary Kleebatt, spokesman for DCF, said York should be applauded for its efforts to maintain the relationship between mother and child.
"It's an important program, especially because many of the women at York will be released in the foreseeable future, and we hope that as many of them as possible can resume their role as caretaker when that's appropriate," he said. "We do know from experience that mothers that go through a bad time in their lives are able to rehabilitate themselves and recover. For a child, there is no one more important than their mother or father. There's no substitute for that normal kind of interaction and for a child, that means everything."
Thirty-two-year-old Yajaira Rodriguez, an inmate and permanent aide arts coordinator for Mom and Me, has been with the program since it started. On this day, she helps the children make pinwheels.
Rodriguez, who is from Hartford County, is serving a 15-year sentence in connection with a child abuse case. Consequently, she lost custody of her four children. She knows she will never get a visit from them. Watching other inmates interact with their children can be painful at times, yet Rodriguez continues to volunteer because she feels that helping others improve their relationships with their kids is a form of redemption for her.
Through prison, she says, she has learned about herself. She has learned that she's creative and artistic, that she never developed a true sense of self. She now realizes that she liked things because other people liked them or did things to meet other people's expectations.
"When I look at a child, I can't help (but wonder) if my daughter looks like that now," Rodriguez said. "This fulfills me. I have made a bond with all the kids. I can teach the kids something that they will remember. It makes me feel like I'm not forgotten."
Rodriguez sees the spirits of the other inmates lift after they participate in the program. One perk of the program is that Selsky, the social worker, takes a photo of each mother with her child. Selsky delivers two copies to the mother, who in turn may decide to mail a copy home.
"That is huge," Rodriguez said. "It's the only time you can take a photo with your kids. It captures that moment in time. When they get their photo, they like to show it off and brag about their kids."
Selsky teaches the parenting class on being a responsible mother. It's 27 hour-and-a-half sessions, two sessions a week. The inmates are given a workbook and assigned homework.
She said the class encompasses what it means to be a responsible mother. It covers barriers to parenting and positive discipline and discusses the effects of domestic violence and drug addiction on the mother and child. Students discuss how to talk to children about being incarcerated and how to handle a child's difficult questions.
"The children know mommy's not there and something is going on," Selsky said. "The inmates have expressed guilt from being away from their children. They are missing a lot of their child's and loved one's lives. This program helps facilitate the bond between mother and child."

Gov. Jack Markell proposed better compensation for teachers, gun control measures aimed at keeping schools safer, improved school counseling and more cops on the streets in his State of the State address before a joint session of the Delaware General Assembly Thursday.
Gov. Jack Markell proposed better compensation for teachers, gun control measures aimed at keeping schools safer, improved school counseling and more cops on the streets in his State of the State address before a joint session of the Delaware General Assembly Thursday.
Markell also vaguely alluded to what was rumored to be one of his top legislative priorities for the 147th legislative session, namely that of gay marriage. As he summed up his vision for the First State, he spoke of a Delaware "that protects the rights of all its citizens, no matter whom they love."
But, Markell also indicated that sunset provisions placed into the last state tax increases were not on the table.
"We will continue to find savings wherever they may be, but there are things that we won't do, if it means compromising public safety or turning our backs on our most vulnerable citizens," Markell said. "And while we want to keep taxes low — and they are attractive in Delaware — we should not shortchange our children and their future to pay for unaffordable tax cuts today."
Members of the Republican caucus were disappointed to hear that tax cuts were not an option, including Senate Minority Whip Greg Lavelle (R-Brandywine Hundred) and State Rep. Jeff Spiegelman (R-Clayton).
"They were called unaffordable tax increases so I'm not sure there are unaffordable tax cuts," Lavelle said. "But, he's made it clear to anyone that was listening that sunsets are not going to come off the budget."
But State Rep. Darryl Scott (D-Dover) said asking for things like additional dollars for police and teachers were good proposals by the governor.
"I haven't given up hope that there may be an opportunity for some of the tax cuts to sunset," he said. "If this year doesn't present that opportunity, it doesn't mean that we can't make progress on that in subsequent years."
Among other priorities for the future, Markell said Delaware had to strengthen its teacher compensation system, particularly starting teacher salary, in order to deal with the fact that it was easy to lose quality teachers across the Pennsylvania and New Jersey borders.
Markell also summarized the state funding that went toward new training for schools in Kent and Sussex counties to help them deal with the rash of suicides that occurred in 2012.
With regard to safety, Markell said Delaware State Police, New Castle County Police and Wilmington Police had worked jointly to reduce violent crime in the city after he authorized six new state troopers to focus on drugs and gangs.
As he summed up his State of the State, Markell reiterated that he, Lt. Gov. Matt Denn and Attorney General Beau Biden were working on gun control legislation that would respect the Second Amendment.

Item note
John Betjeman's poetry sounds completely natural. He's just telling a story. And yet the humour and sadness and the loveliness of a bygone era come across with wonderful vividness as he and the immortal Miss Joan Hunter Dunn drive together to the dance at the Golf Club... and then sit in the car park all evening.

Kay Commentary 2012-06-30
The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling:
I wrote this in mid 2010.
Philosophically, we humans grasp at inventing illogical expressions when we are uncomfortable with our own prejudices.
Case in point – let us examine the expression "occupied territory", which came into vogue only after the State of Israel was legally created in 1948.
The British who owned the territory offered land also to the Palestinians. They declined and continue to decline. They want Israel annihilated.
Immediately after Israel became a State, five Arab countries in the Middle East declared war on the new Jewish State – they were all defeated in a matter of days by the little new Country. That is when the expression "occupied territory" or "occupied land" came into being.
Israel the victor was and is the true owner of the conquered land – but the U.S. government called that land "occupied". Is that supposed to mean that the aggressors still owned that land?
Another opposite case in point – during the Mexican-American War in 1846 through 1848, the U.S. invaded a part of Mexico known as Texas, which Mexico had received from Spain along with other land in the Southwest. The U.S. won the war, took Texas and the other States in the Southwest, and California. It is said that Mexico was given a token $500 million for all that land. The Mexicans have been resentful and angry since then. They want their land back, but that will never happen. Shouldn't that conquered Mexican land also be considered occupied land?
Fast forward to the present situation.
Jordan, a country which owned East Jerusalem in 1948, wanted all of Jerusalem shortly thereafter, so she declared war on Israel. She lost, so now Israel owns that territory. The U.S. maintains it is occupied land, and Obama forbids Israel to build houses there – even high-rise apartments for its burgeoning citizenship.
Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel has told Obama he cannot dictate to Israel about Israeli land – and therein lies the stalemate between the two democracies. I say kudos to Netanyahu for not allowing the U.S. to bully Israel.
Meanwhile, the despicable U.S. media picks and chooses what it wants to expose, and never mentions that Israel won all that land fairly.
It is all unfair, unjust, untrue, and Israel stands totally on its own.
Please – someone – explain the nonsensical expression "occupied land" or "occupied territory", which is only used for territory won fair and square by the Jewish State of Israel after it is attacked. It is an honest issue our government refuses to recognize.
For KSCO, this is Kay Zwerling.
