So...this sorta just happened, and I couldn't be happier!

I LOVE Order. Love it. Crave it. Have to have it. However, I am sort of a nomad, which doesn't really naturally constitute order. I have lived in 16 different apartments in the last 11 years and that doesn't include all the times I have moved in with my parents in-between places. The ironic thing is that I don't like to move and I am total homebody. But for whatever reason I rarely stay put for long. I mean I've lived in Boston, what 4 months and I have already moved. I was debating how long I am planning on staying in this current house and if I really want to 'move in'. I was going back and forth again and again and I got some really good advice from my sister and my best friend. Both said to settle down. Move in. Make it your home. I am planning on being in Boston for at least another year, and I might as well not live in limbo as much as possible. Well I took their advice and I made my room my own. I actually painted!! I should show you the before pics but they are on my roommates camera. I will explain for now. The walls in my room were this gray green grossness and the trim and doors were a nondescript tan/gray/purple color. So so gross. I painted the walls white and the trim black and made the wall my bed is on an accent wall and painted it a deep turquoise blue. SO pretty! I LOVE how it turned out. I made that wreath, hung pictures on the walls, threw rugs on the floor etc. Here is a visual tour through my new, moved in, room.

Okay Here We Go!!

Here are a few shots of the details of the wreath I made. I got the fantastic idea from a blog I love called Our Best Bites!

Gotta Love Tulle!
also, notice the awesome color of my wall...

We are now showing a few shots of the 2nd entrance to my bedroom and the closet door set in this little nook. Very black and white. Gasp! I totally forgot to show you the inside of the closet door! Its awesome! Remind me and I will add a pic.

Oh whats that you say? Zebra striped purse? Yeah doesn't sound like me does it. Well thats because that is what I bought my best friend for her Bday and I just haven't sent it yet. Hope you like it Sassafrass!! (spoiler alert for Sass...guess I should have said that before I showed the pic huh?)

See this blurry photo? I got that little rack for free and then I painted it with left over paint from my accent wall. Perfect for my scarves!


This is a close up of a corner of my room. I hung up a few of my favorite photos. Amber and I snagged that little black table from the street the night I moved in. Clothes Hamper! Notice I put a cute basket under the little table for projects and stuff. Currently it holds 3 balls of yarn I got for free. I wish I could remember how to knit.

This is another sweet gem Amber and I snagged from the street!! I painted it blue one beautiful warm Saturday. Its amazing how good creating something can make you feel! Just pretend you can't see all those cords! I only have one socket in my room...just saying.

Here is a close up of the windows! The radiator is beneath this one but I just love how the black and white just kept on going and going! Not even on purpose!

When my parents came out they brought an extra suitcase full of my stuff. In it they brought these three magnetic boards I love! Underneath it is a white bookshelf. I will have to show you the insides sometime. The cover is actually a curtain I got on sale 2 panels for 6 bucks!

This is the other entrance to my room.
Again, notice the blue wall! How can you not love this wall!?!

I picked this bedspread up on sale at Target. It was the inspiration for the rest of my room. So full of drama! I covered that four drawer tupperware thing with discount sheer polka dot fabric, perfect fit with the theme 'cause you can see the white peeking through!
I love how the wreath grounds the bed.

Remember my obsession with order? I feel like this station will really help me implement order in my life. I cannot live without a whiteboard and a cork board!
See that awesome dresser? That's the one Amber sent me in the mail!

Hopefully things are piecing together for you. I don't want to brag, but I made that mirror! I got them at the dollar store then hot glued them all together. It turned out fantastic I think. and super cheap too!

Another picture of my order wall!

This concludes my room. I will have to take a few more shots of the details that I forgot!

I hope you have enjoyed this tour of my room. We work on tips so gratuities are excepted, there is a bowl on your way out for your convenience.


Thank you!!
