Answer 1

Answer 2

Convince her that you have a good plan. Go to her with magazine clips, color chips from the paint store, etc. Sell her on how it may improve the property value of your house. Be smart, as the first person said, you will change your mind a lot over the next few years. Always happens. So...go with ideas that are versatile and can be changed out or better yet added to without a lot of extra expense in maybe two years or so. You are over shooting your budget a little though. A gallon of paint alone averages about $20 (and that's the absolute cheapest way to change a room). Most rooms take about 3-4 gallons of paint plus rollers, and covers, trays, tape etc. so you could blow it all real quickly if you are not very careful.

That being said, if my daughter came to me with a well thought out plan complete with drawings, budgets, colors, photos, etc. I would have a hard time turning her down. I would be so proud of her efforts. Get my drift? Good Luck

explain to her how important it is to you an that you have been making an effort to try to save money up for remodeling ... home depot has cheap paints an what ever else you might need ... i wanted to redo my room two i was sick of the little princess pink look i was too old for it so i went with pink an purple an later on i got pink an purple drapes for the windows and pink n purple bed spreads etc... Christmas/or holiday gift ideas are great to add when you want to accessories your room tell mom that you would like neat things that match you ideas for what you want to design your room as look as that will help you out with most of the accessories like throw pillows chairs dressers etc..

I'm sure she will understand parents love it when you tell them that you have a plan an are saving money for it good luck it very well could be a fun an creative hobby for the rest of summer break

Good luck an have fun =D

peace
