I love my room, it isn't quite finished though. I still have to get new curtains and a full length mirror or something big for my back corner. I started to change it all about a year ago now and I just love to wake up in it everyday. I also love a clean room and I can't sleep if I know my room is messy. I wanted to do my room for ages but couldn't afford too, so I took the opportunity of my birthday and Christmas being close to hassle the family for some new furniture. My mum bought me my bed and dad bought the side tables for my birthday and my brother bought me my drawers for Christmas. They are from IKEA and are really easy to put together, I love flat packs! I made everything by myself except for the bed which my brother had to help me put together.
I think having a black, white and grey theme is simple and shades are a lot easier to work with, you can always add a splash of colour with an ornament or bed covers. I tried to go for a shabby chic look and just have it relaxed. I don't like super modern looks, even though crisp lines are very nice. I just seem to find it can look quite heavy and bedrooms need to be the opposite. I'm a sucker for vintage pieces and the look of French provincial but it can become pretty pricey.
The biggest feature in my room is my amazing striped wall and it's my favorite part of my whole room. My walls were once pink (yuck) so my boyfriend and I chose a grey that is a bit lilac as well and painted my whole room. We then chose a darker grey for the stripes. I will make a post on how to do it after this. It is really quite simple and will just take a committed day.
Jewellery is a big thing for me and I have a lot of it. There are pieces everywhere - hanging on my wall, in glass candy jars, jewellery boxes and a few in boxes in my wardrobe. Just everywhere really and I always seem to find more hidden somewhere when I do a big clean. It's good to rediscover things I once thought was lost.
I adore my room and I love to come in here once Malachi is in bed and just relax, watch shows on my laptop and just lie in bed. It is my sanctuary.
