<p>Maybe you think <strong>Vinyl Wall Sayings</strong> are for Kids and Laundry rooms&#8230; but I really like</p>
<p>this idea for a Romantic Bedroom!</p>
<p>The pretty fresh bedding looks invitingly simple and the wall color is just neutral enough to show off the wall quote without being a stark white. Yuck&#8230; <img src='http://www.thatpainterlady.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;m very partial to the dark furniture and simple iron lamps. I think a man could live with the quote on the wall as art&#8230; with all else in the room in perfect symmetry.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FR8P2W?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=portablmp3p02-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001FR8P2W" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-1853 alignright" style="border: 3px solid black;" title="Wall Decal Kiss Goodnight" src="http://www.thatpainterlady.com/wp-content/uploads/Wall-Decal-Kiss-Goodnight.jpg" alt="Wall Decal Kiss Goodnight" width="400" height="400" /></a>The same wall quote in a different font looks really pretty in this modern bedroom.</p>
<p>&#8220;Always Kiss Me Good Night&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>This style is available in a variety of different colors.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FRLRAY?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=portablmp3p02-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001FRLRAY" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-1854 alignnone" style="border: 3px solid black; " title="Dance as if no one is watching" src="http://www.thatpainterlady.com/wp-content/uploads/Dance-as-if-no-one-is-watching.jpg" alt="Dance as if no one is watching" width="400" height="400" /></a> This quote is one of my favorites&#8230;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FRLRAY?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=portablmp3p02-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001FRLRAY">Live Like There Is No Tomorrow Vinyl Wall Decal</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=portablmp3p02-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001FRLRAY" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Live like there is no tommorrow</p>
<p>Sing as if no one can hear</p>
<p>Love like you have never been hurt</p>
<p>Dance as if no one is watching</p>
<p>Laugh like no one is listining&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve tried hand painting quotes on walls&#8230; as well as stenciling. These easy to apply decals are soo much easier and look very professional.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re ready to paint over&#8230; You can sand over it a bit&#8230; prime&#8230; and paint Easy!Â <em> Vinyl Wall Saying</em>s are a budget idea with big impact&#8230; Love That!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignleft" style="border: 5px solid black; margin: 10px;" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/66/230291020_2dd1ed817d.jpg" border="0" alt="Budget Decorating Teen Room" width="319" height="422" />If you&#8217;re the parent of a teenager, sooner or later the subject of redecorating their &#8220;child&#8217;s room&#8221; will come up. Often much sooner rather than later and certainly more than once!</p>
<p><small><a title="Attribution-ShareAlike License" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.photodropper.com/photos/" target="_blank">photo</a> credit: <a title="Merelymel13" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62967061@N00/230291020/" target="_blank">Merelymel13</a></small></p>
<p>A teenager&#8217;s room should be their &#8220;safe space&#8221; &#8211; their haven. A place they can retreat to and feel comfortable and enjoy. Not so much an adult space, but more &#8220;grown up&#8221; than a child&#8217;s room and with a fun flair to it.</p>
<p>It&#8217;ll certainly work out better if you involve your teenager in coming up with a theme for their room. A theme that will help to express who they are (and not what you want) otherwise they&#8217;ll end up with a room they don&#8217;t like.</p>
<p>You want them to LOVE their new space and enjoy being in there. Let them go through magazines and books and pick out things they like about different rooms.</p>
<h2>Let Teenagers Choose The Room Colors</h2>
<p>When you start redecorating your teenager&#8217;s room, let them choose the colors, but with some guidance. Have them take a look on the internet and see what they can find.</p>
<p>Sometimes redecorating can be as simple as repainting, rearranging, and putting those &#8220;kid toys&#8221; either in storage (to be found in 12 years and remembered fondly), sold at a yard sale, or given away to your favorite charity. Easy breezy!!</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="border: 5px solid black; margin: 10px;" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1286/1247259291_06494af65f.jpg" border="0" alt="Bold Color Teen Bedroom" width="254" height="190" />When you&#8217;re redecorating a teen&#8217;s room, remember that they are very sensitive to color, and they&#8217;re much more free with their sense of adventure.</p>
<p><small><a title="Attribution License" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.photodropper.com/photos/" target="_blank">photo</a> credit: OSon</small></p>
<p>Why not go for using bolder colors on the wall behind the bed? This way you&#8217;ll have a great focal point.</p>
<p>Plus, it&#8217;ll save on you having to decorate the whole room.</p>
<p>Also, it means that you can include a color in the room that they really like and want, but which will not overpower the room completely.</p>
<h2>Change The Curtains For Budget Redecorating</h2>
<p>Another simply way to redecorate your teen&#8217;s room when on a tight budget is to change the window covering.</p>
<p>Instead of those &#8220;farm animal&#8221; or &#8220;circus&#8221; curtains, why not get them blinds instead? Because they come in so many different designs, colors and materials, there should be something they&#8217;d like.</p>
<p>Or if you have blinds, how about changing them out with some simple curtains or shades? Sometimes that&#8217;s all it takes to change the room up enough to make it feel all new! A pull down shade with some beading or trim glued to the edge and a simple valance and &#8211; TA DA! Whole new feel to the room.</p>
<h2>Colorful Sheets For A Teenage Room Makeover</h2>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 10px;" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/73/230313160_01d2f30c17_m.jpg" border="0" alt="New Teen Room" width="180" height="240" />Buy some colorful bed linens to bring some pizazz to their space.</p>
<p><small><a title="Attribution-ShareAlike License" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.photodropper.com/photos/" target="_blank">photo</a> credit: <a title="Merelymel13" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/62967061@N00/230313160/" target="_blank">Merelymel13</a></small></p>
<p>Even better, remember changing out those blinds for curtains? Buy some extra sheets, then turn them into curtains, a throw pillow (or two), and/or even a lampshade to match the rest of the dÃƒÂ©cor. You&#8217;ll have that designer look with matching sheets, throw pillows, curtains, etc. but at a fraction of the cost!</p>
<h2>Replace Floors In Teen Room Redecorating</h2>
<p>If you can&#8217;t afford to replace a worn out carpet in your teen&#8217;s bedroom, opt to have it taken up, and go for low maintenance painted floors with some throw rugs.</p>
<p>If your bedspread is a solid color get a patterned rug. If the bedspread has a pattern get a solid rug. Oooo&#8230;and why not include some large cushions they can use when their friends come over? It&#8217;ll give them a much more relaxing and friendly feeling room &#8211; and a place where they can get away from it all.</p>
<h2>Cheap Headboard Idea For Teenager Room</h2>
<p>Have a &#8220;little kid&#8221; style bed? Rather than replacing a perfectly good bed&#8230;and by bed I mean mattress set&#8230;.instead, just get a more adult like headboard for it. An easy &#8220;headboard&#8221;? A bookcase! Gives them a place to put their &#8220;stuff&#8221; AND it&#8217;s inexpensive! You can either get one exactly the size of the mattress or about two feet wider (I like the wider version).</p>
<p>Just by rearranging your teen&#8217;s furniture in their room, you will be able to give it a whole new dramatic look. Many successful teen room makeovers can quickly and easily be accomplished just by changing the layout of a room.</p>
<p>Add in a couple of new accessories and lighting to their room, and BAM &#8211; it can help to change the look of a teen&#8217;s room dramatically but inexpensively.</p>
<h2>Get A Bit Crafty With Fringe</h2>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 10px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2101/2144149823_44aa577f35.jpg" border="0" alt="Get Crafty with Fringe" width="224" height="149" />If you want to make a teen&#8217;s room look a little funkier, then pick up some fringe or beading from a clearance table at the local craft store or fabric store.</p>
<p><small><a title="Attribution License" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.photodropper.com/photos/" target="_blank">photo</a> credit: <a title="macinate" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/16971123@N05/2144149823/" target="_blank">macinate</a></small></p>
<p>You can then glue this around the bottom edge of the lampshade and the hems of curtains to provide a new look. You could even glue it around the edges of shelves (or use some upholstery type tacks &#8211; just not on the lampshade or curtain hems&#8230;only on the shelves!!).</p>
<p>And there you have it. There are so many ways in which your teen&#8217;s bedroom can be redecorated and not end up costing you an arm or a leg. Not even a knee. <img src='http://www.thatpainterlady.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Teenager&#8217;s will  love it. You&#8217;ll love it. Everyone wins!!</p>
