My room was cranberry red (paint by Ralph Lauren, lol) and the slanted walls and ceilings were an off-white french canvas (it had turned a bit yellow-ish overtime). Anyways, there were collages on my walls, and just a great deal of clutter and old furniture. Haha. So, not last weekend, but the weekend before my parents bought a new bedroom set and that's when it sparked in me to take their furniture and upgrade my way of life within my room. I had my bedroom set since I was two (its a really nice set, it truly is but I'm going to be 20 in 21 days and well, it's time for a mothafuckin' change, okay?!) and by Lexington - but I need a bigger bed. That bed was twin and everytime I would throw myself on the bed or roll over in my sleep I'd basically come close to falling off the damn bed. Not cute. I took my parents furniture (which included a QUEEN bed, UPGRADE!) and painted it black. I decided that I would paint my room a pale grey-ish/silver and keep the color scheme to black, white, and grey/silver. It took me three and a half days to paint the entire room - afterall, I had to paint over RED. That was a challenge in itself. While doing that, I decided that eventually I would go back to the paint store and buy metallic wash in silver and sponge two walls and the ceiling to add an effect to the room (didn't do that yet -- whenever i get a new job for the summer I'll get back to that lol 23 BUCKS A QUART - say what?!). Anywho- I finally finished painting and went out and bought a new queen sized mattress and it's heaven if I may add. I used one of my brothers old quilts and sheets for a couple nights til I decided what exactly I wanted on my bed and in my room. I decided on the modern, yet vintage damask design:  The challenge? Finding it. LOL. So last Saturday, mother and I travelled all over creation looking for items for my room. In HomeGoods, I found a silver foiled mirror with black damask designs on the outside edges, very chic. I found a mirrored jewelry box with again, black damask designs on it. Tre chic! And a damask designed throw quilt to cover my window seat cover.Now seeing all this damask all over I figured, hey, why don't I stencil it on the walls in the metallic silver. So, that's what I'm going to do. It'll look a bit like this:  I thought it'd be cute. But yeah. I finally, after many returns at Target, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls, found a summer quilt in black and white damask that matched the throw quilt on my window seat. PERFECT! I also bought a black and white damask throw pillow and fortunoff and....well, didn't return two black pillow shams to Target that belonged with a previous purchase - but they didn't notice so I didn't say anything. LOL. Aaaand I found a third matching pillow sham for the quilt. Hooray. My bed is complete until the fall lol. In Bed Bath & Beyond, my mother found black and white curtains that are to die for. Just fabulous. The only thing that was missing was a hint of color and greenery. So again, I went to my trusty friends at Target and bought a vase for $20, some black stones, two grasses, and an orchid. It looks rather lovely. So basically that's where I've been. Now I need a redbull after writing that up. lol. TTYL. |
