redo my room

pink walls with pink carpeting.
it sickens me now a days.
i want purple walls with hard wood flooring.
is that too much to ask?

I’m redoing my room because 1 its a wreck…well most of the house is. I’m actually hoping that if I can get on with this and it turns out awesome that my mom will realize that yes we can get the whole house done. In almost every way my room is the worst in the house. The cieling is disaster~holes, water stained; and there is no light fixture just a bulb. The walls need totally sanded down after being majorly patched. I have plaster walls not dry wall. The wood work was had it so it all needs to be replaced. The doors need sanded down and repainted. There is a huge hole in one wall to allow access to pipes which needs to remain accessable. So I want to make a door for it to cover it up yet allow for access. Really the only thing that doesn’t need messed with is the floor which mom redid when I was in college 5 years ago or so. I want to get a new dresser, and a night stand/end table. I need to get new curtains and light switch cover. I have a shelf which currently sits on the floor needs to go back on the wall after it gets sanded and repainted. I have these mirrors I used to have up that I want to put up again.I have picked the colors: purple and a yellowish off white. I want to make a border on the top off the walls with a circle type theme using purple and yellow for the colors. I love monkeys and I want to eplay my monkeys better after the redo than I currently do. I also want to figure out a way to put some kind of door on my head board to hide some of the stuff I keep up there.

I’m working on it right now. Sort of a black and white theme mixed with some pinks and others pastels.

I’ve found some cool wall art at AllPosters.com and even Target has some good black and white damascus stuff which is sort of what I’m going with right now.

I’m sick of it now. I need something more edgier. Not emo or any dramatic shyte like that, just more sophisticated. I need to go to Ikea. I want a black, metal bed frame to boot.

It all started with a bedspread…as soon as I saw it, I completely fell in love. It was vintage, it was unique, it was made a tasteful but definitive statement. It was perfect. My room was already the right color, so I moved to some of my furniture.

I handpainted most of my furniture, excepting the big pieces that my parents bought and would like to keep in good condition. I cleaned everything out, getting rid of a lot of junk and stuff that I really don’t need. I covered the boards that I use to display my artwork with matching fabric and rearranged the furniture.

The creme de la creme of the room for me? My bookshelf. Handpainted, decorated with an ecclectic mixture of pieces. It has literally five books that I’ve read on it; the rest are all a part of my “to read” list. Even the books are wonderful…some old, hardbound copies, some new paperbacks, some that were my mom’s, some that I discovered and bought myself. It’s a great mix and I love looking through and selecting my next title.

To do yet…I need a new beaded curtain for my dormer window area, and I have some art and an old metal sign to hang up, but other than that, I can call this one “done”.

its purple now. lovin’ it.

so i have a shit ton of books. some i’ve read. some i haven’t. some i never weill. some are textbooks. some are novels. some are cookbooks. some are dust collectors.

the point is – they all start going up on the shelf that lines my ceiling on one side of my room.

this is taking forever. i want my room to be clutter free again!!

Yay! Lime green is my new favorite color. :D

i hate moving furniture. i’m too little. and too indecisive. i think i found it though. i just need some new art!
