Room makeover ideas?

Question

I am redoing my room soon. I am 14 and i want it to be more mature, like teenaged mature, with a twist of the second grade. I have a lot of stuffed animals, and i used to put them around my bed, but id like to think of someplace else to put them.

I would also like it to have bright, girly colors, to show my girly side, but still yet my tomboy side too, like fishing poles or something.

I want to go AS CHEAP AS POSSIBLE!! I am not rich at all. The new room has hard wood floor and i will probably get a rug or something.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much for your help! its appreciated!

Well I want to be an interior designer so I will help you as much as possible.  I was thinking that you could definetly paint the walls. Paint is fairly cheap. Well the colors I was thinking of was Pink, Black, and White. I think you style is very contradicting so for a girly, tomboy who likes stuffed animals and fishing poles I think that is a good color scheme. Take some painter's tape and  put a line in the middle of the wall then paint the bottom half. Then add a single strip of black on the top and leave the top white. Then get a solid black comforter and put your stuffed animals on your bed near you pillows when you make it up and get a black rug. I thiknk that is good for your girly tomboy personality. http://www.donfoley.com/theater/paintste...

as for the stuffed animals, i'd recommend a hammock to put them in. if you get a natural fiber one, it'll bring out the tomboy part. this one comes in a nice natural color. cheap too!:

now for the rest of your room:

ok, so i have this great idea for your room to incorporate sophistication, girly elegance, and your tomboy side. here goes:

try painting 3 your walls (assuming you have a traditional 4 wall room) a cream, or off-white color. it's more interesting than original white, and very mature. it also goes well with almost everything. then paint one wall (whichever one looks best a different color) a light green. this is to include your "bright girly colors."

a great chic, but tomboyish accent for your room is bamboo! try stenciling some brown bamboo stalks on your walls wherever they look good. something like this:

also, look into a bamboo bed, or atleast a headboard. here are some ideas. i know some of them are quite expensive, but they could still inspire you:

so yea, natural or brown colored sheets and pillows on the bed. i'm rather fond of these ones:

then, a natural colored duvet on top:

and to add some more color, these awesome decorative pillows (which took me forever to find!!!) use as many as you need, maybe 2 or 3 on your bed (in addition to your regular sleeping pillows) and more if you have a sofa or lounge chair in your room that they'd look good on!
