As they grow and change the needs of our home have changed as well. One of the bedrooms over our garage had been a "toy room", filled with plastic Little Tikes Kitchens, Legos and Trains- a place for forts and building castles. My teenage daughter suggested that we re-decorate the "Toy Room" to be more Teen Friendly. I agreed and so (sadly for Mom) we have said to goodbye to Pokemon and American Girl Dolls.</span></div></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline" class="Apple-style-span"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533936702570890386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSb4X8DGoPc3kxvc41FtOxYDCpctGZR3j8G43Pu5AFhTNrGpzoi_FVKzLuSRvvLTlJpZe2sQrLuCAl822zLbqNf6q_yYCTKRLn77hlojXz3z18peMX4pNB_d0krPyVXoX7Eh9Fu8jOE8eM/s400/guest+room+over+garage.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: pointer" /></span> </span><div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'times new roman';font-size:130%;">Here is the room Before (actually we have two identical rooms above our garage, they are mirror images of each other and this photo is of other side). Like all decorating projects we had Goals, Restrictions and a Budget. The Goal was a room for for sleepovers, a place to do school projects where they could spread things out (and not be near their parents), and a place to hangout with friends and watch Movies and I-Chat! Our main Restriction was the doorway size. It is only 27 inches wide. And our Budget was $2500.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"><span style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline" class="Apple-style-span"></span></span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgauorxT6wq6yK_xMGOO6pexs1gVu3KiS_VU8B56-FN44qMIO-tdStq4LsmmQrGI9ykHF3AR6e2kDni2phkmzN58woVVUQO8vYpdMUQQanc5Pb7SnNsQnRMNUdYu_v-h2YziyOb8qhmYyeX/s1600/DSC_1011.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span style="font-size:130%;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533936724530219858" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgauorxT6wq6yK_xMGOO6pexs1gVu3KiS_VU8B56-FN44qMIO-tdStq4LsmmQrGI9ykHF3AR6e2kDni2phkmzN58woVVUQO8vYpdMUQQanc5Pb7SnNsQnRMNUdYu_v-h2YziyOb8qhmYyeX/s400/DSC_1011.JPG" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" /></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Here is the room after we ripped up the old carpet.
