Bedroom Overhaul

In other news, I just dropped $500 on new furniture for my room. My room at home looks essentially the same as it did in high school, which my 16 year old self loved, but my almost-24-year-old-self does not. You may ask, why don't you just save your money for if when you move out of your parents' home? Well let's be honest, unless I start making a lot more money than I am now, there's no way I can afford to live on  my own right now. Then why don't you get a roommate? Well most of my awesome friends no longer live around here. Also, until May, I'm obligated to be in Rochester a minimum of 2 nights out of the week. So yeah, I'm definitely stuck here for at least another 6 months. Therefore, Operation Decoration is underway. In order to make my room less dorm-like and more sophisticated I have ordered:

Winslow White 2-drawer & Open Cubbie Nightstand

Winslow White 5-drawer Chest

DaVinci MDB Bookcase in White

 

The book case is technically a part of a furniture set for a baby's room, but I doubt you could tell by looking at this piece. They should be arriving by next Friday and I will probably be spending the entire weekend assembling them, but I'm so excited! All the pieces were purchased at Overstock.com and the total came to be just over $500. I'm so excited to be able to organize all of my books and photos in one place! As opposed to the artfully hidden stacks all over my room. I'm also in the market for one of those pretty mirrored vanity trays for the dresser and a new lamp for the night stand. Right now a bendy neck desk light sits on it, I tell you it's very freshman year chic.

None of the furniture in my room matches, as the youngest of 6 kids, it's basically a hodgepodge of handed-down furniture as my other siblings moved out of the house. I'm hope to also be able to purchase a new headboard and desk to match the theme as well. I'm thinking of doing before/after photos of my room and tips on organizing a tiny space, because on top of all this, my room is oh so tiny.
