My bedroom is almost finished!

A lot of effort has gone into the bedroom lately. I figured, why am I trying to put all of this effort into the other rooms when I feel like I want to kill someone the second I step into my own bedroom? The messiness is no more! I condensed my clothes so that I'm down to one closet and two wardrobes (instead of one closet and three wardrobes), I moved everything that was remaining in the dresser to hangers or the shelf of the wardrobe in the bedroom, and I bought a whole bunch of sweet shit.

PICTURES! Click on them for details - I uploaded them at their original resolution!
This is the new bed set I got at K-Mart. It's Martha Stewart. I was surprised to find when I bought it that it's flocked! We enjoy its fuzziness.//The curtains behind the bed are panels I found at Target for $10 each and the curtain rod is Simply Shabby Chic from Target (on sale for $17).//The wardrobe was from IKEA but bought from a craigslister. I ripped off the shitty white curtain it had hanging from it and replaced it with IKEA curtain clips and a shower curtain I got for mad cheap when I worked at Lowe's in San Angelo.//My mom painted the painting hanging over the $7.50 clearance shelf from Target.

This is the view of the next corner, and my clean laundry holding corner for when I don't feel like putting things back:
My mom made that little tote bag when I was tiny. It's an ocean/beach scene complete with little critters.//The mini dresser came from Brittany when she and Sky moved to the Candler Park house. It functions as my lingerie cabinet.//The dresser is from forever ago. I'm about to whitewash and distress it and the vanity.//I mounted hooks into the ceiling and attached Old Navy paper lanterns to Xmas beads from IKEA.//Everything but the jewelry box on the dresser came from IKEA.//The pegboard is my favorite. I used purple spraypaint and about ten coats of this awesome glittery finish I found at Hobby Lobby to get the color of the pegboard. It houses most of my jewelry and a $4 mirror from Big Lots!

Closeup of the lanterns from before I did the pegboard:

The next corner. My mom made/painted the lady bug hanging on the door knob.//The vanity to be whitewashed/distressed.Rich's corner.Rich's corner close up. You can kinda see the Martha Stewart pillar holder I got from K-Mart. They go on the night tables.//The green tub is Rich's clean clothing holding area.//The lamp is from IKEA.//& HELLO CONNOR!

So that's it. It rules. I only need to finish the dresser and vanity and also find some bubble/tie-up shades for the two windows.
:D

The peg board idea is awesome, and I'm going to steal it to organize my chunky/long necklaces.

Your bed looks mega comfy.

ps. Pick up the book God if Not Great by Christopher Hitchens, you'll like it.

My bitch account never showed me this comment!

Go ahead and steal it! I did! I did one in my kitchen first and it's infinitely helpful.

My mom actually has that book - there was a feature on him in the local ATL newspaper because he was in town for a lecture and she ran out and bought it after reading about him. I'm waiting for her to finish it so I can get my hands on it!
