Some ideas for redecorating child's room on a budget.?

oldseadog5

My 6 year old son wants his room redecorated (it's still decorated as a baby's room) and his birthday is coming up. Any ideas on how to redo his room without spending a lot of money (say $100 or so). In middle of divorce right now and can't afford to do it right.

Answer
The things in a bedroom that majorly affect it are lighting, wall color, bedspread, curtains, flooring. If you're anywhere near an Ikea, *definitely* check it out. If not, maybe you could consider shipping (http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_US/popup/shipping_method.html for rates AND also try the "Ask Anna" feature to talk get live help online).

So if you deice to go with Ikea...

FOR WALL
As other people pointed out, buy some nice paint - maybe from the discount rack at Home Depot? - and paint just one wall (COST: ~$10 and less than 2 hours' time).

If Ikea isn't a possibility, maybe you could check out your local area Freecycle organization (if you live in a big city, there very probably is one) - Freecycle.org. And of course, there's Craig's List - craigslist.com

Through both Freecycle and Craig's List, you can find good quality stuff - from furniture to plants to posters and artwork that people are too conscientious to just dump in a landfill (thank god) - and all for free.

And hey, it's summer, so check out all those yard sales! People often advertise them in local papers and websites like Craig's List.

Good luck!

This is a story about life in Germany in 1942. The war had already started and Germany seemed to be an unstoppable power. Wars do not affect just soldiers, though; they have an effect on all life in a country and Germany was no exception.

Korianna is a thirteen-year-old girl who is a "good" Nazi youth, a member of the Jungmadel, an organization for children who the Nazi party wanted to make sure had the "proper" ideas and beliefs of a loyal member of the Nazi party.

Korianna is being taught to hate jews, hate anyone that was "different", and to turn in information on anyone who was behaving as if they were not a "loyal" German. Her friends also members of the organization.

Korianna sees examples of how the Nazi's act towards those people they don't like, including young children making fun of and attacking Jewish children; Jews forced to wear the large stars marking them as Jews; Jews and non-Jews taken from their homes by the Gestapo, bound for "work camps".

Matters change for Korianna when she finds out that her own parents are hiding a couple of Jews in their home, a mother and her young daughter. Korianna is torn between being a good Nazi and turning in her parents, or being a disloyal German and not turning in her own parents. Matters become even more complicated when she makes friends with the young Jewish girl, putting a personal face on the beings she was supposed to just plain hate.

This is an excellent book showing just how much into controlling people the Nazi's were, and just how vicious their attitudes were. It also shows how that type of life affected people living there, some following blindly the German propaganda, some pretending to, and some trying to find ways to thwart the Nazi's even within their own country.

It's a lesson that needs to be learned, for history has a tendency to repeat itself.
A very good book, well worth reading.

All you have to do is type "behind the bedroom wall" into your search engine and this is the first entry.
