bedroom makeover

The next project was my own. I got home after 4 years of college and my room was still that of 15-year-old Tara and though I loved the memories it was time to update! Teal walls and polka dots are no longer my style. I started by painting the walls a pale yellow and buying a new area rug which is just a cream colored short haired rug. After that I was in the market for a new comforter and I couldn’t find one that matched what was in my head, so I left it alone. Then one day I was in Philly helping a friend look for fabric and I saw this gorgeous oat colored linen with a floral pattern embroidered on with a chunky wool it was perfect! I bought it and a deeper earth tone brown basic quilted fabric for the bottom and my comforter was ready! After that my dad and I spent a day assembling my giant Ikea closet cause the closet in my room is an ideal size for the clothes of a 4-year-old. Once it was done the white was so plain, so I decided to take up macramé and make a dream catcher and another wall hanger for the other side. Eventually I think I will add another when I have time. I added my makeup desk, a few more decorations and done! My room is now much more suitable for a 23-year-old.
