Bedroom Reveal

I finally got around to fixing, moving stuff, and taking pictures of my new bedroom. As you'll see in the pictures, almost all the furniture is from IKEA. I generally chose these pieces, because I wanted furniture that would be easy to integrate when I move out and get my own condo or townhouse. My closet, study/work table, and shelves are custom-made (by my parents). You can't see it in the pictures, but my room is tiny! It probably would have been better to get a twin bed, but I hate sleeping on small beds and I really like the look of the IKEA bed frame. For the paint colour, I ended up going for something that wasn't even one of my original choices. The paint colour is a slightly darker colour than Blair Waldorf's (Gossip Girl) room paint colour. I do think it fits well with the furniture though.

I'd have to say that the best part of the new room is the custom closet. This closet is really small, but since my parents put in the new shelving and drawer, I can put so much more stuff in it. I'm so happy that I finally have shelves to put my bags on! It's also a lot easier to organize everything. You can't really tell in the pictures, but the clothes are actually organized by type and colour. My mom was saying that I have OCD judging from how my clothes are folded and how disturbingly organized the clothes are -_-

Here are some pictures of the room:

 

While I have most of the larger furniture all set up, I still need decorating items. The room looks really bare and plain right now. I'm finding it really difficult to find just the right thing to decorate my room though. I was planning to get a large world map (with all the places I've been to marked on it) to put above my headboard, but I feel like it doesn't really match the furniture, paint colour, and general look of the room. I'm thinking of putting wall decals there instead (though I'm not sure what kind yet).

I'm still in need of the following items: lamp, door hangers (hooks), closet hooks, jewelry stands/holders, decorative pillows, and wall decorations. I feel like I've been to pretty much every store in Vancouver and I STILL can't find the things I need at a reasonable price. Everything I've seen that I do like is way over my budget (ex. a $400 lamp). I've looked online as well, but I haven't found anything that has "clicked".
