2023 Bedroom Tour (Fairytale/Story Theme)

 Good evening, I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! I am on a school break, so I am hoping to share a couple posts the next two days, but here is a quick room tour to start with. I decided to do a story/fairytale sort of theme with lots of animals and nature in my décor, and I decorated the day after Christmas (as always) for the new year. All of the decorations were handmade, from the thrift store or on hand. For example, I used dried roses and leaves I had saved to decorate my piano. In other words, these are cheap and easy decoration ideas I hope some of you might find applicable. 

I look forward to hopefully sharing more soon. Thank you for visiting!

2019 Bedroom Tour

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing a quick little room tour. Last year my bedroom was decorated in a Scandanavian-Bohemian style with an astronomy theme. I painted a chalk-baord wall, and although I am happy with it, I suggest not doing one on a bumpy wall and over a bed. It came out really bumpy and the chalk dust falls on my bed. Also, when I'm in bed I accidentally wipe off whatever chalk drawings or writings are on the bottom. Anyway, for decor I drew constellations, used rocks and my salt lamp, and used a calligraphic print of a watercolor I made a few years ago of one of my very favorite quotes: "Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night." The woven blanket was a gift from Rahab's ropes. I also used some of my nerdy book-themed decor like music boxes, a Narnia candle, and an Alice display (also gifts) just because. I went for an indigo, purple, black, and white theme overall. I went for a very minimalist look, so there's not much to show. The shelf I found at a thrift store and repainted white with chalk paint. I hope you enjoy:

Happy/Vibrant Modern Bedroom Decor

Hello! Here's a quick tour of my room from the beginning of 2019. I wanted to used vibrant hues while sticking to a mainly black-and-white Scandinavian look. I wanted a very positive, happy atmosphere. To add to the bright colors, I decorated with things that I love, such as displaying my favorite books, making a cat mirror which matched the photo of my cat on the wall, displaying music-box globes and vintage cameras, etcetera. I tried to make my decor as different from the year before as I possibly could while sticking to the same general style that I enjoy (since 2018 wasn't the best, to say the least). My wall gallery was made with scrapbook paper, photos, stickers, and hand-written calligraphy taped on with yellow electric tape (since that's what I had on hand).

I hope this helps inspire anyone who's looking for vibrant, modern decor with a fun, personal twist. Thanks for visiting!

My Fall Room Tour (2018)

Hello, everyone! Here's the room tour I promised you. I don't re-decorate my bedroom very often, and didn't bother to decorate for fall last year; however, this year I was in the mood for fall and winter, so I redid my decor. My favorite style is Scandinavian, although I also love modern farmhouse. I hope it reflects that preference, and that you find inspiration. I'm afraid I only took a few pictures and the windows made them hard to edit, so they're not very good. Anyhow, here's the photos of my bedroom, decorated for fall:

Decor:

-I handmade the art print, one that I sell through my business

-The artwork on the wall was from my art teacher, a lovely illustratin that she created

-The plant on my dresser was on sale at Michaels for less than or around $2.00

-The candsticks were from thriftstores and somebody's house. The other candle was from Bath and Body Works, but I painted it with gold acrylic paint

-The blanket ladder was handmade (by me, which explains why it is completely crooked and flimsy)

-The blanket was from a thrift store. The other 'blanket' is actually a cardigan.

I hope you find ideas for your own fall decorations! I have more posts I am eager to share soon!

My 2018 Room Tour

Hello! Sorry it has been so long! My schedule has been crazy, and I recently lost one of my closest friends/relatives. I have a lot of costume tutorials to share if I can find time, plus two new parties (one frog-themed, one pizza-themed). Today I'd like to share my bedroom tour of 2018. I had my room decorated like this since New Years, but I wanted to get in 'the fall mood' with candles, blankets and fall colors, so I changed my room a few weeks back. Up until then, my theme was black and white scandinavian, with an emphasis on books. I wanted my room to reflect my personality and favorite things, which I'll elaborate on below. I hope you enjoy:

I love the Wizard of Oz book series, plus I collect music boxes, So I displayed the Wizard of Oz music box, an amazing gift I was given for Christmas, in the center of my room. Beneath it are two of my favorite books. On the opposite side of my dresser, I placed another special (graduation) gift, which was a vintage camera, to reflect my passion for photography and love of antiques. I lined up another special vintage-camera-gift and my very first camera next to it. The bird added a Scandinavian touch, plus it sort-of shows my love for animals. I filled my handmade blanket ladder with succulents. Above it was another precious gift, an illustration from "The Kingdom of Neep," a book by my art teacher, Jan Walker. In the corner was my piano and above it, the finishing touch: a cat, of course. I hope you enjoyed, and maybe found ideas for incorporating your own interests to your interior.

My next post will feature my fall bedroom makeover, so if you enjoyed, visit again soon!

Christmas Room Tour, 2016

Here's a tour of my Christmas-decorated bedroom. Click here if you would like to see last year's tour. I decided to go with a bright-and-modern theme this year. The color scheme was red, green, purple, white, black, yellow and blue. It was very simple. I made the banner, and the lights were $0.50 at a community thrift store. The ornaments on the tree were all made and given to me by my art teacher.

I hope you liked it!
