so (obviously) this is my bed. this is where i spend half of my life. it has a mint spread, quilt, and pillow cases as well as 2 large white pillows and a monogrammed throw pillow from p.b. teen. The monogrammed decal on the wall above (that i am quite fond of) is from etsy. it is a bit hard to see, but the monogram and pillow are different colors and they slightly clash, but who's judging? mint is my hands down favorite color and pink is simply a lifestyle, so those are my two main colors in my bedroom!
right here is my lovely desk. i have my (fake!) telephone, teacup which i adore, flowers (faux), a striped bucket with several pens and pencils, and my darling little lamp. i purchased the phone for a mere $3 at a place that sells model home furniture! i am somewhat fond of vintage, and it is a nice touch. i bought the teacup at vintage village, a small road full of antique shops where i live that i absolutely LOVE. the lamp, flowers,and bucket are all from target (my most favorite store on this earth). also, my monogrammed water bottle is atop my desk (it is not relevant to the topic, it just happened to be sitting there during the picture) i use it constantly and i received it this summer on my birthday. i believe it was purchased on etsy. above my desk is my bulletin board, which i am obsessed with adding to it. it includes several photo booth pictures, invitations, a stefon quote (courtesy of abigail), tickets to the dpac, and plenty of other random beings from gosh knows where.
And yes, there is plenty of other things in my room, but these are the two most important (also, there is no way in heck i would show you a picture of my closet, too painful to the human eyes....more or less)
Tips and tricks for decorating and organizing your room:
- figure out a theme. for example, my room is straight up preppy. or maybe you would like to have a color theme. but if you go with say, blue as your color, that does NOT mean a mix of navy, mint, aqua, teal, royal blue, and azure! pick the main shade, such as navy, then add a totally different color or a pattern as an accent. like my main color on my bed is mint, then i added some coral-y pink.
- give every single object you own a place. for your desk put writing utencils in one drawer, and put notebooks and paper in another! for your closet have shoes paired up and placed in one area, and the clothes somewhat organized into categories! keep your books on the shelf or in a stack, not on the floor and in a drawer!
- keep your room clean to some extent. this doesn't mean you need to vacuum and dust everyday, but the least you could do is put your dirty clothes in the wash, throw away any random trash, and try to pull up the covers a bit. keeping your bedroom at the most a little organized can really create a better work space that is more stress-free!
31 days till Christmas and 6 minutes till dancing with the stars!
