Its pretty easy to say that I love my bedroom at home! I grew up in the same bedroom, in the same house until we moved almost three years ago and I definitely took advantage of making this bedroom entirely mine. My bedroom growing up was pretty much what you expect from a child or young teenagers room! I had a loft bed for many years growing up (which I loved at the time), it was a colour that I picked out when I was younger and it didn't have a lot of design appeal. I loved it for what it was, and I still miss my old house and that room because it holds a lot of amazing memories! Though, I am so so happy to have had the opportunity to make this room what I wanted! I knew I wanted a soft tiffany blue colour on my walls... but this was what I first picked out! Yikes! Definitely not what I wanted and I knew that immediately. So my mom and I went to the paint store the same day this colour was painted on my walls to pick out new paint, and the new colour was painted the next day! I am sooo happy with how my walls turned out in the end :) the colour is calming and soft and exactly what I need for my bedroom! We decided to only paint it on three walls to make the small room feel a bit brighter and bigger. This huge window in my room adds so much character and light so I really wanted to make it a focus in the room! So I hung very sheer and light curtains to keep the room bright and to not add any weight to the window. I added this star lantern that actually hung in the kitchen at my old house! The window is without a doubt my favourite part of the room and Im so happy with it! Many of the pieces in my bedroom are actually 'do it yourself' pieces. This sweater box used to be quite unattractive compared to what it is now. It had a light wooden base with a multi-coloured striped seat and overall it was just old looking. So I repainted the base and then unscrewed the seat and reupholstered the cushion with a light grey suede fabric. Overall a pretty easy fix and 100% worth it! I also repainted my mirror on the vanity, my desk and my side tables. The side tables were light wood before as well so I painted them white and then covered the tops in a grey striped fabric. Overall my room is very light and airy with minimal colours and patterns. If you read my blog post about my dorm room at school you can easily tell that my strategies with both rooms was very different. I think both rooms reflect two sides of my interior style. My dorm room is more bohemian with lots of colour and prints, while my room at home is very clean, white and bright. I love both so I guess you will have to wait and see how I make my room next year my own! xo
