Dream Bedroom Project Congratulations! You have just won $15,000 tax free to finance a dream bedroom! You will need to purchase furniture, wall covering(s), floor covering(s), and even linens for your bed(s). All of the items you purchase must fit in your room.

Final Products:
 * 1) Scale model of your bedroom (on provided graph paper) with all furniture drawn to scale
 * 2) Purchase sheet(s) with running balance and final balance (attach newspaper/Internet ads, catalog pages, and/or store quotes)
 * 3) Constructed foam board model of your dream bedroom (see class website for sample) OR completed 3D model on Google Sketchup, don't forget to bring in your jump drive. After I download it for grading, the jump drive will be returned to you.
 * 4) Reflection sheet

Guidelines to follow:
 * 1) You will ignore sales tax. (For extra challenge, calculate Foley sales tax - add 9% to your total).
 * 2) Make sure all of the ads for the items you purchase include dimensions and prices.
 * 3) Your goal is to spend as close to $15,000 without going over.
 * 4) Allow plenty of time to work on this project - $15,000 is a lot of money to spend!
 * 5) Remember to keep your graph paper room and your foam board model (or Google Sketch Up) room to scale. Also, all furniture must be to scale.
