I need help with my room please!!!?

Question

okay so when i moved in into my house i was 8 and really into barbie so my mom decorated my room of barbie

now im 13 yrs old (share my bedroom with my 8 yr old sis and she agrees that the room looks stupid) and have been begging my mom to let me redecorate my room, but she says no because she spend a lot of money to decorate the room and that it looks nice!!!

Help!!! how do I convince her to let me redecorate??

Answer 1

Oh my! She has to let you do it! To keep costs down you could suggest off white walls which you then brighten up with nice prints or posters...then you need a new and plain duvey cover and cushions and curtains...look on Ebay.

Answer 2

Maybe just undo the MOST Barbie-ish parts of the room, but leave the frills and pink...add some other colors or a bunch of mixed neutrals (tans, greys, black) to make it look really sophisticated and girly-glam. You might be able to bring in the new colors and styles with throw pillows, a seat cushions, or a rug. It may not be a whole new change but it will reflect more grown up tastes and get you through a few more years.

New bedding and curtains goes a LONG way. Don't start painting just for a cheap solution to the problem, that is, if you are going to paint, get good paint, remove any wallpaper properly, tape and prime surfaces, get enough paint for enough coats, etc. It will not be expensive but painting a room a totally different color is easy to get WRONG.

You will get taken a lot more seriously if you do have some money saved up to help with the costs. See if your mom will go halves, and you and sis split the other half (meaning YOU pay fourth, and sis pays fourth.)

Answer 3

try to save up money and tell her youll willing to pay for it and do the work yourself
