Ben Afleck and Jennifer
Lopez are getting married this summer.
The wedding is all planned, her dress is bought and the honeymoon is
booked. Everything is perfect except for one
thing; their house is empty!! They want
a young fresh look to some of the rooms in the house
and they want you to decorate them!!!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
As designers your goal will be to decorate the three
rooms from floor to ceiling. In order to
do this you must complete the following.
1.
You
must stay within the budget set aside for that room.
2.
You
must keep a journal of the websites that you have been to.
3.
You
will need to create a poster of what the finished room will look like.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Step 1:
Your team must decide who will design the following rooms: (Two people
per room)
Kitchen
Living Room
Bed Room
Step 2: The
designers for each room will need to stay within their budget. Each room will have white walls and
unfinished hardwood floors. To find out
more about the rooms, click on the appropriate room below.
Step 3: The
following link will supply you with the resources to help you get started.
Step 4: To
keep track of your progress, you will be required to keep a journal. In this journal you will write down the
websites that have been to and the furniture that you would like to buy. The journal will be supplied for you.
Step 5:
When you have decided what furniture you want to buy, you will need to
start the buying process. Everything
that you buy, you will need to add on 7.25% for sales tax. Make sure that you do not go over your budget
and show all of your mathematical calculations in the journal.
Step 6:
Once everything is bought you will need to create a poster of what the
room will look like. This poster will be
used during your presentation.
Step 7: On
the assigned date, your group will present the designed rooms to the
representatives of Ben and Jennifer.
(They are busy at a movie premier.)
The representatives will be Mrs. Meyer and myself.

The following link contains a rubric that will
describe how the project will be graded.
Follow this carefully to receive the best grade possible.

Congratulations!!
You have successfully decorated three rooms in Ben and Jen’s new
house. In this decorating activity you
worked with areas, percents, budgeting and learned what is involved in
designing a room.
Ben and Jen are very happy with the results and
would like to use you again in the future!!! (Maybe decorate a baby’s
room??!!!)
