Hey my 11 year old sister is interested in redoing her bedroom and she doesn't have any money to buy anything. Her room is going to be black & white based. And ideas of what she can make. Please include directions and items needed to make!
Answer
What she could do is save up money for a few big things. For example, I saved up for a nice duvet and sheet set that I liked. And then you can start DIY things to match. Goodwills and thrift shops have a lot of amazing things she could add into her room and since black and white are two very common colors, it shouldn't be hard to find something she would like.
Paint existing furniture all one matching color. Craft a few decorative items like this: http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2007/10/how-to-make-fabric-panel-wall-art.html
Basically just have fun and use your imagination. She's sure to love whatever she puts in her room if she makes it herself. Also another genius idea is if she wants a rug in her room, don't spend a lot of money on an area rug. Find cheap fluffy bathrugs and sew them all together. You can't tell they're sewn together unless you look really hard. Good luck!

Modern Bedroom Decor?
LatinaLove
So i am moving once again, and I think it's time to mature my room. I am in high school and am looking for a modern theme. Anyone have advice for wall colors, futons (if you could give me a link that'd be superb) and a new flat screen telivision? Links would be great. TEN POINTS TO WHO EVER CAN GIVE ME THE BEST DECOR TIPS!
and I kind of have a budget, it's alittle hard but it's alittle tight. from $1,000-1,5000
Remember- the theme i'm going for is MODERN.
Answer
I love this couch, it is a convertible bed, so a little nicer than a futon.

I would get 2 night stands...
http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Broadway-Black-2-drawer-Open-Cubbie-Nightstand/2208999/product.html
This as a dresser
http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Broadway-Black-6-drawer-Condo-sized-Dresser/2207110/product.html
put your flat screen over the dresser
http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/VIZIO-VO22L-22-inch-1080P-HDTV-Refurbished/3542005/product.html
with accent cube shelves places staggered on each side of the tv
I had too many links, but you can get a set of 3 for $20 at target
(I would get 2 sets, 3 on ea side)
now for the punch of color

I would get two striped pillows, they bring in the dark tones of the wood, the cream in the couch, and introduce the red
This rug does the same thing...
http://www.target.com/Mohawk-Home-Lava-Rug-24x44/dp/B0016NV7K2/sr=1-19/qid=1239151611/ref=sr_1_19/185-7194327-1823204?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=0&index=target&rh=k%3Ared%20area%20rug&page=1
I think three of these hung over the futon at 2 in intervals would create a very graphic art statement
http://www.target.com/Printed-Wall-Art-Red-10x14/dp/B001DV5L68/sr=1-8/qid=1239151699/ref=sr_1_8/185-7194327-1823204?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=0&pricerange=&index=target&field-browse=3151061&rh=k%3Awall%20art&page=2
one of these to frame pics of friends to add personal warmth...

2 lamps, one for each night table on the side of the couch
http://www.target.com/Black-Finish-Wood-Tower-Table/dp/B0007USKAA/ref=sc_pgc_r_7_0_255023011/185-7194327-1823204?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1
I think the lines of this book shelf are very modern
http://www.target.com/Folding-Shelf-Collection/dp/B0018ZQ77Q/sr=1-10/qid=1239152161/ref=sr_1_10/185-7194327-1823204?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=0&index=target&field-browse=1038614&rh=k%3Abook%20shelf&page=1
Hope I gave you some ideas, the grand total I came up with was $1512.42 not including tax & shipping. If you get anything from overstock, they will ship your entire order, no matter how large for $2.95. I'm sure this is more detailed than what you were asking for, and but I hope the items I pick out gave you inspiration. You can find cheaper accents at discount close out stores & clearance shelves.
