Ideas for a teen redoing her room? Looking for all ideas and suggestions!?

Okay, this is my first time EVER redoing my room. What I need is a new bedroom set, acessories, furinture, and basically everything :) Im 14, so this room will have to get me through the years until I leave for college..The colors i really enjoy are yellows, oranges, blues, (aquas, teals), pinks, (only if it is with orange), and lime greens. I want my room to look completely great and modern. I have been checking out www.pbteen.com and LOVE their bedroom sets. I really like the idea of these two sets: http://www.pbteen.com/gift/thm/thmgrl/thmgrlsbs/index.cfm http://www.pbteen.com/gift/thm/thmgrl/thmgrlcts/index.cfm But, im afraid the loft will look to kiddish when im older..Pottery Barn teen is also pricy...I am also looking for seating that I can place right up on my window, if you know what i mean. I am basically open to all ideas and suggestions. Thanks! :))

1. Ah we have the same taste! I painted my walls lime green and I did a neon purple trim. It looked SO cool. I knew I wanted purple but I didn't know what other color to do and my high school biology/physiology teacher recommended lime green. :)
2. I think the first pbteen looks better Paint your walls to match any thing but make them cute at the same time hope i helped
3. I am also a teenager and am looking to re-do my room so I see your dilemma. For seating under the window try a futon. It is sophisticated and inviting at the same time. Also, try a desk for work, and do not get a dresser that takes up too too much room. I think by your description you would like turquoise walls with orange ceilings. Good luck ! Hope you like you're new room!
4. i don't think those sets would really suit someone older. You should do something that will still make you happy at 18. I'm re-doing a friends room right now (she's also 14) , it's got teals and blues and it's real modern. If you want to see my plans I'd be glad to send them to you.
