redo my room

Haven’t painted the closet yet, but we did get rid of the bed. Ditched some old prints I never cared for, too.

My room is so bleak and boring! I hope sometime this week I will buy new furniture and new posters for my room! I can’t wait!

My mom agreed to let me get rid of some of the furniture in my room; namely, the bed. We’re going to replace the current big carpet with two smaller carpets. Exciting!

hi people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While poking around on the internet, I saw a few things I liked. There’s two neat bedspreads on UO that I really liked [birdie stamp, hydrangea]... I’m thinking that even though I don’t like how my room is right now [silly faux bamboo walls, etc], I still like greens and blues and purples. I’m going to keep looking, but the romantic-delicate-soft-and-pretty sort of thing appeals to me, though my nature’s going to throw in a circuit board or some sorta silly techie thing somewhere.

I might try to paint my walls, but I’m not crazy about having to take down the old wall paper. For sure, if I did repaint, I would use some magnetic paint somewhere… I always get cool random posters, but never get to put them up because I’m too cheap for a frame.

I definitely want to ditch/sell/trade some furniture, especially the chair, the two benches, a tv, my bedside table, and … er, a bed. I found a much better replacement tv that I could see from a distance, and instead of more chairs, I’d rather have floor cushions [ease of arrangement].

My room hinders organization in that the way it’s laid out prevents me from doing things easily. I have to jump over the bed and drag a stool to see what I look like; I have a tv & videogames in my room, but the tv’s so small and so far away that I can’t see it, and the only way to sit near it is to have nose-to-screen; I can’t read in my room because the lighting’s poor…

Because my sister and brother have moved out, the hallway is also mine, so space constraints aren’t an issue. I don’t need to redo that area, though I’ll reorganize it some; but I won’t need a ‘study space’ or a ‘crafts area’ in my room. My room will be for reading, gaming, sleeping…

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.
