mom31257 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 We spent Labor Day weekend redoing dd's room. She paid for the bedding, paint, and most of the new furniture herself. You can see pictures on my blog here. She still needs some new artwork for her walls and a new desk lamp, but she is really enjoying it. Her new desk and bookcases are from IKEA. We LOVE that store.

SBP Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Very nice! And I'm so impressed that your daughter paid for most of it herself. My dd got a room re-do last Christmas and wanted a similar color. I teased her at the time and called it the "Smurfette" room, but the color's really grown on me since then :). Thanks for sharing!

mom31257 Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 I can't say that she got the money by working because she gets birthday money every year from our families. I can say that she was brainwashed by Dave Ramsey when she was in 2nd grade. Her daddy was principal of the Christian school she attended. He listened to a whole set of his conferences tapes on the way to work that year because he was teaching it in a Sunday school class. That year she started saving some of her birthday money every year. She does a good job of spending it on only what she really wants and saving quite a bit of it.

jenL Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Your daughter's room is beautiful! I love the colors she chose! It's also fabulous that she paid for it all herself, and by properly saving for it. She will be well-prepared for the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
