So, as you can see up there, the walls used to be a sort of dark blue color. My bedding was red and very tommy hilfiger. I had a big green rug on the floor.
Here are some pictures of what it looks like now.
The most noticeable change, of course, is that the room is no longer blue. It's a light blueish-purple-lavendar-lilac color. The trim is a similar color, just 2 shades darker. I changed the arrangement of the furniture, which included moving my big fat dresser into the closet for more floor space. That was important because the way my furniture was before was the only possible arrangement with that many pieces taking up space. I spent about 2 days in Ikea. That trip was rewarded with the awesome Audrey Hepburn painting (and the little spotlight for it), the curtain rod that was used to put curtains in front of my closet (to replace orangey-wood doors), the mirror on the wall, and a few other little things.
The color change necessitated a bedding change, too. I found this girly quilt at Bed Bath and Beyond. It has some different colored flowers on it. One flower color matches the trim color perfectly, and other flowers add in some navy blue and light yellow (both of which I desperately wanted as accent colors in the room). I got a nice, fuzzy, warm yellow blanket at BB&B, as well as the actual curtains for the closet. Other little touches came from Wal-Mart.
The only things left to do are to get a better lighting situation, and find some window treatments. The current lighting is okay temporarily, but I'm really not a fan of having lamps take up floor/surface space. Also on my future room stuff wish list is a cool rug (I'm thinking white, light yellow, navy blue, purplish) to cover some of the wood floor, and I really want prints of these two pictures to frame:
So, yeah. Sorry, bro, but this is forever a chick room now.
