My Room

 Today, I thought I would share some images of my room. I have a few changes and improvements to make, and these will serve as my "before" images. The color scheme I am going for is yellow, grey, and splashes of blue. Most of the changes will involve painting things, in order to lock that scheme in. This will be a two parter, since I have a lot of images, and want the pages to eventually download for y'all.


This is the view when you walk in the door. My lovely pup, MoMo is on the bed in most of these photos.

This is my work area. It is where I do computer work, lots of crochet, and organize and edit photos. I also have my scanner/printer on my desk. This is something I want to change. It's not an ideal situation.





Here is a close up of the ole' bed. The color is not so true in the photo, but the bedspread is yellow and white, and the pillows are a mix of yellow, white and grey. MoMo is mainly brown. I hang scarves and bags from my bed post.

My only window, which makes good photos a bit difficult. My bed and nightstand are both wood, and are inherited from my grandmother. I keep a basket full of books next to my bed, because, well I need them all, right beside me. My chest of drawers is purple, which is a problem.


 My next post will include photos from the other side of my room. It is a small, simple space, but it is comfortable, and I usually have enough space to do everything I need to. Taking these photos made me realize how much I need a wide angle lens of some kind. I would have loved to get one shot of the entire length. One of my biggest upcoming projects, is to paint the chest of drawers a mild yellow. I think this will make the space more coherent, as right now, purple is definitely a color out of no where. What is the number one project you are either tackling right now, or want to accomplish in the next little while? Painting is not my favorite thing to do, but it does produce amazing results with little cost.

  2. I got those at UO about a year ago. They are prints by an artist named Ryan Berkley. The Print in the middle is by Marc Johns. I am trying to start an art collection of young, indie artists. I want some works by Lisa Congdon and Ashley Goldberg next!

  3. It's amazing what paint can do. We painted our bedroom a deep blue color and makes the room more inviting.
