TODAY'S TOPIC: If you could re-design your bedroom, what would it look like?
If I could re-design and re-decorate my bedroom, I'd be happy. I would make it a rock band bedroom. I'll have two electric guitars, a stand for a microphone and I'd have a drum set in it, too. The walls would be painted with a mural of people and a drummer with a backwards hat. I would play rock music in my room. On the front of the bedroom door, it would say, "Welcome rockers." My pillows would have a rock singer on them. My alarm clock would ring a song. I really wish I could have a rock band bedroom to rock out.

If I could re-design my bedroom, I would make it look like Hollywood. My door would be gold with stars on it and it would say, "Welcome to Hollywood." When you open the door, my bedroom would be gold with a black furry pillow. When you look at the walls, they would say, "Hollywood" in big, black letters. My floor would be black sparkles. My mirrors would be clear with lights surrounding. My desk and closet would be gold and black, too. My Hollywood room would be the most glamorous room in the world.

If I could decorate my room, I would take everything out of my room and paint my room red. My theme will be everything stars and pirates. In my room, I would put in a mini-fridge, a small pool, a computer and the furniture would be a blue closet and a yellow bunk bed. The color of the mini-fridge would be red and the computer would be yellow.

If I could re-design my room, I would have a fashion theme. I would take out my old, small bed and put in a big bed with fashion designs on it. I would paint the walls lavender. I would take away my shelves. I would add a bookshelf instead. I would put a whiteboard on the wall so I can draw my own fashion designs on it. I would put in a sewing station so I can make clothes that I design. I would have a telephone, too. I would also have a lot of stuffed animals. I would put a fluffy carpet in the middle of the floor.

My theme would be the ocean. My walls would have a really pretty aqua blue background with playful dolphins. My walls would have fish, crabs and lobsters. My bed would be a queen-sized water bed. It would have a soft blanket with a dolphin on it. I'd have a lava lamp and a sculpture of a dolphin made out of real diamonds. I'd have an octopus fan and a dolphin-shaped alarm clock that makes dolphin sounds to wake me up. I'd have the biggest "teddy bear" made, a giant, stuffed dolphin and a baby stuffed fish. I really, really want this room to be mine!

My room right now is really pink. The walls are green and light pink. If I could change that, it would be all light blue and my bed sheets would be light blue. If I had a theme, it would be Jonas Brothers because I love all their songs. I would like to have a little chair so I could sit on it when I am watching TV. I would also love to have a chair that matched my walls. There is going to be a spinning chair near my computer. If I could really re-decorate my room, it would really look like that.

If I re-decorate my room, I would put Hannah Montana on the walls, have a queen-size bed, a flat-screen TV and mini-fridge. I would have cool clothing, a lot of Nintendo DSs and PS2S, PS3S, lots of games, a radio and a laptop, doors, a table, desk, a big closet, sofas and vibrating chairs.

If I could re-design and re-decorate my room, it would look like Lego City. I would buy all the Lego City products including the Lego City police station because I like building Lego sets. Also, I would get a Lego Star Wars bed and have wallpaper with pictures of the Sith and Jedi. I would be surprised if this re-designing could be my real room.

If I could re-decorate my room, it would be a baseball theme. On the wall, there would be a bat and the Dodger players. My bed would be the dugout. My blanket would have the Dodger Stadium on it and my pillow would have a baseball on it. I would have baseball action figures by my TV. I would like these in my room because a Dodger is what I want to be when I grow up.

My theme would be an electric room. My closet would be filled with electric games. My door would be gold and would open by itself. On the wall, there would be a flat-screen TV. In the corner, there would be a massage chair. For my bed, it would be soft and would put me to sleep. An electric room would make me the happiest kid in the world.

If I could re-deign and re-decorate my room, I would have an artistic theme with splats of paint around, a couple of pencils, erasers, paint brushes and pictures hung on the wall. I would have these colors - hot pink, light blue, aqua-marine, voilet and orange. There is this black table stuck onto these white bookshelves, which is stuck to the wall like the table. I want to change it so that I could putwhite little drawers in the shelves and put my stuff in to be organized. I also want to have a bathroom and a TV.
