I am 13yr old girl and I want to make my bedroom feel like a place I actually want to hang out in because at the moment it is sort of boring. But the problem is I can't paint the walls and I only have a budget of about $50. I want to make it indie or vintage looking.
Answer
It's always fun redecorating! :) I hope you're able to find some things you like that are within your budget. Here are some answers and ideas I found online that should help you out. Good luck!
Idea 1: Hobby Lobby has beautiful vintage looking stuff. They are always having sales!
Idea 2: DIY lacy/doily lamps! (it's the second link below)
Idea 3: They have cute scrapbook boxes at AC Moore ( www.acmoore.com) and you can stuff almost anything in them. I have about 4 and they're helpful and come in a variety of colors. I always think a painting or 2 make a room look nice. You can also find some removable wall stickers at most art stores, but I'm not so sure about the price. For the furniture, pick a color you like and make sure they contrast. Like, don't pick dark brown furniture with a gray comforter.
Idea 4: Animal prints, polka dots, stripes, or retro would all look pretty good. Just pick your favorite them and go with it.
Happy decorating!

Breakfast at Tiffany's bedroom ideas?
Ashley
Ok so I just got through the stage of having Jonas Brothers posters COVERING all four pf my walls and I mean I still LOVE them but I want a more formal kind of room now. I'm going to be a sophomore in high school and I just recently watched Breakfast at Tiffany's with my aunt. I fell in love with the movie and I want my room to be based on the movie (well like the formal/fancy part anyways). I already have cream colored furniture in my room which I can't get rid of so I'm stuck with that. I already found a perfect bed set for my room but I still need more. Oh and by the way I'm on a low budget. Any ideas?
This is a link to the bed set I'm going to get...

I can't do anything to my furniture i have now. so now spray painting or pasting anything on it.
oh and right now my walls are bright pink and green...so i need better colors to paint over them. plus i have a bright pink chair and a pink + purple lamp.
Answer
I think that bedding is okay, but it is a little bit overused and the pink doesnt match much.
When I think of that movie, the colors I think are cream, white, silver, black, and of course, tiffany blue! - http://www.colourlovers.com/wallPaper/800x600/p/291457/COLOURlovers.com-Tiffany_Blue_Box.png
Even though you cant change your furniture, you can change it to a whole new look! You can buy spray paint, and spray paint your furniture black, white, or silver. Buy new knobs for the drawers - those are really cheap and give it a whole new look.
That movie is defintly crystals, glass, and classy.
You could paint the walls in stripes, with different aquas with a silverish border.
Add crystal, glass, silver and white, cream accessories and a beautiful cream color long haired rug by the bed. or a really bold zebra rug : http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11078113 http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11030429
An amazing example of color-choices http://www.susanjablonmosaics.com/userfiles/rox-glass-tile-turquoise-shwr.jpg
Get small frames and have pictures of Audrey Hepburn and photos of New York City in different sizes. Frames are really cheap, and a can of spray can can make it look wonderful.

For the bed I would "glam" it up by using cream color bedding with white and silver accent pillows alternating; with one Tiffany's style blue pillow in the center. For sheets look for ones with patterns, rather than solid colors that correspond with your color scheme.
For a dresser I would go with white but if you really want to âglamâ up dresser you can use your existing dresser and cover it in mirrored tiles.
Put in a "crystal" chandelier for lighting, not a real one - but something fake and cute.
Look through vintage shops for old mirrors, with nice frames. Again, some spray paint will make the frames look very nice.
Look for accessories like this : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/AngieCMAN/Blog%20items/Kenidisroom0001_12.jpg
Look for pretty mirrors like this : http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00091967
Go to homedepot and just look around. You will get lots of ideas.
Good luck.
EDIT:
I thought this bedset was perfect, so you could keep any of the pink accents you have : http://store.delias.com/browse.do?categoryID=1917&sidenavTrack=roomwares.victorian
It doesnt matter if you have pink and green walls, you can still paint it tiffany blue. Just give it a a double coat if it doesnt cover.
