My room-Before and After


After I decorated my room for college, I became obsessed with decorating, so naturally I wanted to redecorate my room for the first time...ever. So, we set aside a weekend, moved some furniture and got down to it. Here's a pic of before:


 Before my room was a reallllllly light blue (almost white) with some mismatched furniture and decorations. So, we added some bright blue paint and repainted all the woodwork white and the room instantly looked brighter and better. I rearranged some furniture and picked up a few new accessories from Target and my room is a whole new place. I love it. Here are a few of the things I found at Target that really pull the room together:


A new bedspread from Target that really complemented the paint. Only $24 people!

This corner of the room needed a little something, and I needed a bit more light, so this $8 lamp from Target was the perfect find!  
My bookshelf fell apart when we moved it to paint. I love this because it stores so many things and looks very organized. 
$14 table! It could be used as  side table, but I usually use it as a place to set and charge my laptop and whatever book I'm reading. 
A little basket for beauty odds and ends  that I can use frequently and need to grab quickly. It even matches my bedspread and was $5. Might get another for the room at school. 
Love love love flowers. As much as I wanted to use real flowers,  it would have been too expensive to replace them every week, so I bought some cute fakes for $2 each and paid $2 for the vase. Definitely doing this at school too. 

A super comfy butterfly chair, also from Target. I spent some serious time in this chair studying for math. Only $30!





We did paint the wall behind my bed just plain white because we wanted an accent wall, so I'm still looking for something cute to do over my bed. I thinking about three pictures or some block letters.


Love,
Caren
