Decorate your Bedroom!

You just received $3000.00 from your aunt. She has given this money to you under one condition. You must use it to redecorate your bedroom.
Phase One:

You must measure your bedroom and create a set of blueprints. The blueprints must include a drawing for each wall, the ceiling and a floor layout. It must be to scale. Your floor layout should include all furniture and area rugs if any, it should also identify whether it is carpeted or wood flooring. Make sure you include all doors, windows closets etc in your blueprints. Blueprints must include all dimensions (not including furniture). You will need to calculate the square area of each wall, the floor and the ceiling. The measurements and calculations should be included in your set of blueprints. Each drawing should include a title (i.e. which wall it represents).

Phase Two:

You will redecorate your bedroom. You will be required to repaint all the walls and the ceiling. If the floor is wood or tile, you will be required to carpet the floor. If the floor is carpeted you will be required to lay hardwood flooring. You will buy new bed spreads, sheet set, pillows and pillow cases.  You will be required to buy an area rug if the new floor is hardwood. You will also be required to keep a bank account and a purchase tracking spreadsheet. You must remain within budget.
