asian decorating theme

[rachieo.livejournal.com]

I've decided to decorate my bedroom in an 'asian' theme...i'm thinking zen, calm, relaxing, dark cherry wood, that type of thing.

does anyone have any decorating ideas? i'm looking for crafty type stuff to make, as well as maybe ideas on how to liven up some cheaply purchased furniture/accessories. i rent an apartment, so painting the walls is out of the question...

thanks in advance!
