Bedroom Style Ideas ?

Question

Hello.

Well, im 14 years old.

And my bedroom sucks.

Like, its huge and all.

But i have 3 HUGE windows in it.

And no closet, so i need a wardrobe (which i have)

And the layout it is now, has to stay, cuz there is no other way to put anything.

But its boring. And my mom wont let me paint it.

So what i am going to do is get a job,

And save up and do everything myself.

Re-decorate/Paint/Buy new furniture.

But i love the emo/scene style.

And kind of punkish.

I dunno, UNIQUE.

Do you think any of you fellow people can make me a room?

This is what i would like you to decide for me--

Paint Colour and like, Wall designs.

Bed Designs/Sheets/Cover

Dresser Designs

Etc Etc.

---------

Thank you to everyone who is willing to take their time and do this for me.

It REALLLY REALLY means a lot. :)

xoxo.

P.S uhhmm, can it be affordable for a 14 year old doing a paperroute for a year or 2? How much $$..around?

Answer 1

I have a job (im 13 btw) and I tutor kids at a local elementary school. I like the emo/got/punk scene as well, but as i hear from my cousins, uncles, friends siblings, aunts, nieces (their older than me. My cousins even older than my DAD) they tell me that I would grow out of it. I would pick a color such as blue or red. (no black, my mom says it would heat up the room, like a lot. and the paint has to be layered thickly or it would be grey) You could cover the wall with your favorite posters, letters, pictures. Express yourself with it, well, like a ME wall, with a whiteboard, calendar, cork board (w/e its called). Make a border with like old items as I used my old violins and old violin bows and just hang it on the wall. My bed, well I would pick something that most people would be happy with and that i like. You enjoy the emoish kind of think, so I would pick something that goes with the room (again blue, red, white, black, brown, and possibly green;)) Since you have these giant windows, you would probably be like me and hate the right sunlight. I would find some curtains that go well with the room (they have like, oldish kind of curtains so find something that looks more modern or just use an old bedspread, and hang it over a window when its bright outside.I would keep the wardrobe, but go with something smaller. Here in CA, we keep most of our clothes in drawers. Buy the stackable (these save space) white ones and maybe paint it. Buy a chair (maybe a directors chair. these are foldable and can be put away) you can also use oversized pillows. (WOW I AM ON A ROLL) These can be used for study time or when friends are over. If its big, you could buy a black and white beaded curtain and separate a spot for studying (desk, chair, etc).

Use old and unusual items around your house (like CD's and you could paint it and scratch off paint in your own designs and frame a window or border the room.) This can keep things affordable.

We dont have a paper route here (i think) but you could try tutoring kids at a school (middle or elementary) and make sure they have fun. (order pizza or something) they could refer their friends if they have fun. and charge around 5 dollars less than other tutoring programs. (if they charge 15 an hour, charge 10 an hour) Let the kids be in a session with their friends. They can also help each other out. Basically, if you charge 10 per kid per hour.  and you have about 7 kids a day. Work about 1-2 hours for 2-3 days. and you have about 140-420 a week. Keep this up and you could re-dec in about 2-4 months!

Answer 2

goodness no. Don't get a paper route! Think about this: every single day for 2 years, you NEED to deliver the papers. Its a huge commitment. You can't miss a single day. I would think of  another way to earn the money.  Maybe reason with your mom. Like, you'll do chores every week for 10 dollars. You'll make about 50 dollars a month. 50x24 moths= 1200 dollars

so, instead of getting up early every weekend to deliver papers, do chores once a week, and in two years you'll have over 1,000 dollars.  I'd say you'll only need about 500 dollars to completely re-do your room.
