Welcome to my room
This is actually my sister Missy's room, but when she decided to get married I though I'd give it a try. Let's admire, shall we?
I'm sporting a lovely striped blanket probably from around 1970 on my messy, unkept bed, and I currently use my hope chest and dirty clothes hamper as a means of storage.
I love this bed--it's incredibly cozy. Especially when it has flannel sheets and tons of blankets on in the winter. 
This is probably my favorite! The green and purple walls! While they are artsy and fun, they're a little.. out of date shall we say?So...What is the point of this post? I'm repainting/revamping my room! I'm hoping to find some cool coat stand things to hang my bags and scarves on to open up some more room in the closet, and I'm excited to start this project and do it myself! I'm sure mom and dad will put in their share of help, but I actually came up with the idea of doing this as an outlet for when I get stressed with school. That way, I can go in and sand, paint, or whatever needs to be done. I have one dream for this room: I want to make it homemade. I have a lot of ideas for some of the things I want to put in to make it fun, but a lot of the things I want are home-makable, and a lot cheaper that way. One item on my list?
This lovely collection, sold at Anthropologie for 600-something dollars, is something I could make. Buy some cool frames, distress them, glue them together. I actually thought of making them into picture frames instead of mirrors. Thoughts? I am very excited to get started and to try to keep costs LOW by making decorations myself, and doing the sanding, painting, and all that fun on my own! Let me know if you have fun ideas!
