14.+Room+Makeover

For this assignment, you will be taking an empty room and adding furniture, decorating the walls/floors/window, etc. - even adding an outdoor scene! You want to make the room inviting, a place that's "you" - some place where your friends would like to hang out for a while...
 * DIY - Extreme Room Makeover **





The room template is basic - just walls, windows, floor, ceiling. Here are the requirements:
 * decide if the room is a living room, game room, bedroom or ????
 * add a minimum of 3 large pieces of furniture (a couch, chairs, bookshelf, etc. - or, if it's a bedroom, add bedroom furniture - add whatever you need for the type of room you have)
 * Paint the walls or wallpaper them
 * do something to the windows (curtains, style, blinds, or you can even eliminate or move the windows)
 * do something to the floor - paint it, add a carpet, rug, tile, etc.
 * put a poster or piece of artwork on the walls - maybe two or three?
 * add some sort of lighting.
 * put other things in the room to make it inviting and "cool" (plants, baskets, etc).
 * Add a scene that you will see outside the windows - a location for your house/apt./condo, etc.
 * Important to remember: **you need to make the furniture look like it's actually in the room. Once you get the furniture in the room, you need to use the edit>transform>distort feature to make the furniture "fit". The furniture should line up with the floor and the walls. Things that should be vertical should be straight. Make it work.
