Do you think I should be allowed to re do my room?

I've had the same room for most of middle school, and the same furniture (except a new bed) since I was a baby. I hate my room with a passion! Its very country/girly, my mom did every, and picked out everything because she let me pick out my own stuff in 6th grade and I ended with up horribly dark blue walls which made it scary to sleep in at night. Now since I hate my room, and the dark because of that incident with the walls, I don't like sleeping in my room. The walls are yellow and all the patterns are flowers. I want to re do my room, I want new furiniture because its been around for 14 years and its nicked up badly, and the peices are so big! They take up most of the room... We live in an extremely small house, so theres hardly any room in my bedroom to move, I can't even dance without bumping into my bed or the large sliding mirror doors for my closet. Do you think we should get rid of the old furniture, sell it, get new, smaller peices, and I should be allowed to buy a new...

Do you think I should be allowed to re do my room?
Yes you should be allowed.
Reply:omg yea thats what i told my mom.....she still dosn't want to....my walls are pink and purple and have butterflies and flowers all over them ugh....hate it...i like the pink but not the stupid flowers and junk....
Reply:Since you're in high school, why don't you just have yard sale, and sell all fo your old furnature. Or donate it to Goodwill or salvation army and then pay for new furnature from there with money you get from chores or an allowance.





As for the paint thing. Go to walmart, buy a bucket of paint and go paint your room yourself.





Maybe she'll like it. you never know. And besides, after you paint it, there's no turning back, unless she wants to go buy new paint and paint it a color she likes, which might be a little better than you expect.





Get some cork boards and tacks and put that on your wall instead.
Reply:I live in a 5-room flat and I don't even have a bedroom of myself.I sleep in my parents' room and the bed is enough for two persons.My sis and mom sleeps on the matress.My maid sleeps in her room which is supposely mine.I have my grandpa taking up another room.Our house is 9 years old and the colours are still fresh.We got new furniture recently which is great.In your question you said that you lived in a terribly small and uncomfortable room in a tiny house.I would suggest you first see the condition of your new bed.DId you bought it recently?Or is it already there for more than 5 years? If it is more thhan 5 years or is a queen or king sized bed put it into a yardsale.Sell it for $1589.Buy a bed costing less than $1000.A single sized bed.Buy also a cupboard with two doors and one drawer.Buy a study desk and a good looking chair.Paint your walls with your favourite colour.Buy new pillows and bed coverings.Hang yourpictures on the wall nearest to your bed.That is a yet cheap but simple and cosy room.Nothing matters as long as you are happy.You cand do small job and run errands for your mom.Tell her your wishes and say you won't want anything more.Best wishes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:YES YOU SHOULD BE ALLOWED YOUR GROWING UP SO CHANE NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE. YOUR ROOM IS A SANCTUARY ITS THE PLACE WHERE WE REFLECT SLEEP AND ENTERTAIN OURSELVES.





IT'S ALMOST A RIGHT OF PASSAGE MY DAD SAYS.
Reply:You should be able to do what your parents tell you, and that is it. However, it sounds like you are at least a pretty good girl with a reasonable request, but do not expect your room to be updated because your parents room has been. I think you should sit down with your parents and in a very cool and calm manner tell them most of what you have said here. Tell them that as you have grown older so has the furniture and you now have different and better decorating ideas. I think if you present your case and ask for their help you will be allowed to make some changes, but maybe not all. I can understand about your furniture being old, nicked, and too big. Perhaps your parents can understand that too, but furniture is expensive and may be more then their budget can handle. Maybe you could suggest looking at used furniture. Much of that is in good shape and can cost a lot less then new. The other thing you might suggest is replacing one piece now and another piece at a later date. If you are reasonable and present a plan your parents will be much more likely to listen to you and work with you. It may not work but it is worth a try. Also if you really want the garage for your own talk to them about what you can do to get it cleaned out, show them you are willing to work and do what is necessary to get what you want. The more you are willing to do the more they will respect you and work with you to get what you need and want. Good luck.
Reply:yeah. what kinda of mom do u have.
Reply:Okay yes you should be allowed. Mybe pay for it yourself if they say no. Sell old stuff one day and buy smaller pieces that are comfy
Reply:I say do what you want. Its your room, you live/sleep in there... I think you should be allowed to do with it what you please.
Reply:Yes, definetly!! Ur older now, and noe wat u want (patrical). you and ur mom could compromise ( u choose and ur mom approve. I begged my mom ( a little) did chores, asked my dad, and was extra good!!
Reply:yes just sit your mom down and ask her if you can
Reply:You seem to really dislike your room. A girl's bedroom is supposed to be her haven...representative of who she is (sort of). Redo it...you want to be HAPPY!
Reply:Maybe you and your mom should redo your room together. Pick a neutral color like tan. Don't pick dark blue again.
