TASK: You have the opportunity to completely redesign your bedroom. How imaginative will you be? Where will the windows go, the door? What color paint will you use? Will there be a study area and a play area? Remember to think about the size of the space and cost while you are creating your room. You will need to keep to your budget as well and keep track of your finances. If you go over your budget, you have to speak to the banker, Mrs. Conrad. If you need a loan (borrow money from the bank), you will have to meet with the banker and convince her why it will be beneficial to your design.
