A few years ago we put a huge addition on the back of our house. It is a family room, basement, and a master suite for my parents. My sister and I moved bedrooms when it was time. My mom and dad went upstairs, I went into their old room, and my sister went into my room. When I turned 13 one of my “big” gifts was that I got to redo my new room, if I stayed in the budget. I thought this was a fair enough deal with my parents. So I painted over the ugly tan and beige walls with tow shades of green. After painting for two days of horrible painting it was time that I put some things on the walls. For Christmas I had gotten these square cork- boards, and covered them in different fabrics and hung them on the wall. I got this idea from pottery barn teen! I was able to hang up all of my pictures of me and my friends, and family. It made my room look really cool. Over my windows my mom made me these cool valances that are stripped with pink green and a tan color. I have one of those long floor length mirrors. My dad hung up some of my pictures and a long shelf that goes over my bed. On it I put all of my trophies and medals. I put up some picture frames and some cool doodads. I could not get a new comforter so I had to use my old one, but that is ok. When my parents had the room they changed the carpet to hardwood to carpet, and of course I got the ugly carpet. I asked to change it but I was not allowed because it was supposed to be a good quality carpet, and I was not allowed to change it. I am still working on convincing my parents that I need a new carpet, but they told me that for now I am going to have to live with it. I like what I have done to my room; I think it expresses who I am in a good way.
