Today’s Room: A Graphic, Stimulating Bedroom for a Teen Girl Under $6500
I figured that no matter what your disposable income, few people would actually spend upwards of $15000 on a teenager’s bedroom like some of my other Friday rooms have cost. So I kept it below $6500 to keep it obtainable and, well, realistic.
