Quality paint is 20.00 per gallon,I recomend Baer from Home Depot,I just did my large room and it covered it with one coat.it will take one gallon for the walls and one gallon for ceilings and trim work.I got my king size sheets at Marshalls for 29.95 .I used a bed skirt and sheets as a spread and put a down comofter on it.total cost.under 250.00.
Since I went oriental I also found some accesories at Marshalls.Good luck.I forgot to mention my thread count for the sheets was 400.

Paint runs anywhere from $8 to 25 or more depending.

On paint, go to a store such as Sherwin-Williams or Sears, or Lowes etc. Pick-up the color charts and then decide if yu want 1, 2, 3 or all walls painted. If your walls are currently white and say you want to go dark red, or blue, as a minimum figure at least two coats and realisitically three. A typical gallon of paint will cover 2 8'X8' walls with one coat of paint, depending on how dark it is etc. I recommend that you get a 1/2 pint can of the paint color you decide on and paint the wall in a small area to make sure that is the color you want. I recommend also that you get a satin or low sheen that is easy to clean up marks with. A high sheen can be glaring and shows nicks, scrathces etc. fast.

You can go onto Sherwin-Williams website and others and do some basic research before you go buy based on the type of paint, coverage, etc. you are looking for.

Do not skimp on paint brushes. A good brush set can be worth and hour of your time or more versus a cheap brush that you have to repaint/cover up the strokes time after time. Plus if cleaned properly can be used for years and years.

Good luck

Go to a paint store like Sherwin Williams and ask to see their 'mistints" you can get good quality paint for about three dollars a gallon. Then look on ebay in Home and Garden for cheap bedding and decor. Depending on the size of your room..You should count on at least two gallons. And you may want a different color for the trim..you can usually get two co ordinating colors in the mistints, so the total cost of paint should be around ten dollars. If you don't already have it..you will also need to buy a roller and pan and a brush..You can get these at dollar store cheap.

OMG! I just redid my room too! I had to change the wall and everything! It cost me 1000! But since you just want to paint and get a new set ask your mom for about another 100?

Go to IKEA.
