Redo my bedroom for cheap?

Breanna

Well Im a 14 year old girl and im tired of my old little kid room. But Im with my single mom and the economy is so bad right now I feel really bad asking for so much money to redo my room. I would need to paint, get a whole bew bed frame(I still have a bunkbed),matress,bed sheets,plus all of the other accessories to match. Are there any cheap ways of doing this while it still looks good? And also any cute ideas?

Answer
Well for starters single moms rock..

the nest thing no matter where you are sign up for freecycle.org.. and get the cool things you want for free.. you just need to pick them up..

Paint is pretty cheap but spend the most on that alone.. get behr washable...

Next it's summer hit every tag sale, thrift shop, salvation army you can find.. also go to church donation centers with no shame and see what they have for free... I have for kids I do it all the time and spend the money on the things like sneakers they love and have to have..lol

Idk you but I would go shabby chic....it's so easy ... invest in two cans of white spray paint one rod iron white and one flat white.. pick up a free rod iron fence piece or another piece of cool metal framing... spray paint it rod iron white and hang it behing your bed..

Then get some flat white curtains.. fyi sheets can be hung as curtains they have a pocket sewn for a rod.. you can get two flat sheets from a cheap chain store for 10 bucks.. then get some frilly ribbon and use it to tie them off to the side ..

then find a chair a cool wood one on the side of the road.. even a kitchen chair.. spray that flat white.. if you are thrifty try going to doityourself and give it a light sandpaper rub to make it look old... then.. for your bedding start collecting white peices of all kinds.. pillows sheets shams.. etc..

then start collecting white things.. white framed mirrors and pics.. you can use your spray paint for the wood or metal frames..

collect frames pop out the glass ...wrap the back in fabric put the frame back one (buy eye hooks or hooks for a buck) and screw in and hang .. then display necklaces, braclets and things..

recycle glass jars of all shapes and sizes and fill with your pretty collections.. beads, art supplies, makeup ..

find some cool drift wood and place it in your room hang a pice above a mirror .. or buy a beveled unframed mirror and frame it with the wood..

take sand and sea shells and put in a clear class with a candle on it...

start a collection of heart shape rocks...

paint and stencil a cork board and put lots of memories on it...

fresh picked flowers everywhere.. I even pick branch stick that are cool and put em in tall clear glass ...

walmart decoration or craft section has all kinds of glass for super cheap..

p/u baskets that are woven for loose papers.. magazines.. books...etc..

You can make a cool bed frame and shelves out of concrete blocks.. but i recommend keeping your bunk bed.. putting two flat sheets under the top mattresson on each side... put the mattress back on the top line with christmas lights.. tie each side like a curtain to the bottom bed post with the same ribbon for your curtains... throw lots of pillows in there.. and hang a free floating shelf or a milk crate from the bottom and put books and mags in there and a clip board for homework...it'll be your own lil relax place..

invest in tupperware that fit under your bed for all your kid things you wanna keep...

you can use the drift wood or birch branches to make curtain rods...

last but not least your mom is awesome.. I am positive.. so ask her for some ideas as much as you wanna tell her they are stupid (I have a 12 year old) just listen.. and ask her what she has she doesn't need..

look up shabby chic ideas

save a few bucks and get a prepaid visa and go to urbanoutfitters.com sale apt. section and spend 30 or 40 dollars and your room will look extra sweet!

Army housing placement ? for couple without kids?

bethany s

My husband will be a drill sgt at Ft. Knox. He's an E6 and we don't have children.
I've heard things work differently from post to post, so I'm trying to get an idea of what neighborhood we would be placed in?
There are a few new places I'd prefer, (specifically Pritchard Place) and I'm wondering if we have a chance of getting in there without kids?

Answer
The chances of you getting into Prichard is little to none. We waited over a year to live there and we needed to be there because we have three children (need the 4 bedrooms).

Honestly, you are probably looking at Van Vorhis. You are only going to be get a 2 bedroom because you don't have any children and don't need more than that.

Knox is a big one on getting only what you actually need and not what you necessarily want. I've seen them stick E7's in 2 bedrooms at Van Vorhis because they only had a spouse.
