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 out of date shall we say?So...What is the point of this post?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!

I love those mirrors. They're a lot bigger in person than I imagined from the pictures...and of course I have lots of good ideas, some of which I have already shared.
I've totally thought about doing a similar collection of mirrors on the one wall in our apt with nothing on it (when you walk in the front door, it's the one on the right, right before the kitchen - does that make sense?). Anyway, I love that idea.
So glad you are taking up interior decorating, myNat, and, of course, I will help with this project!
Love you lots,
Dad
Fun! I love all your ideas. I think it is a great idea to work on your room, especially because you will be living there a bit longer. Go Utes!
