Inspiration for Room!

I thought about what I wanted to do with my room last night and I did a little research. Since I watch decorating shows obsessively, have a BA in Illustration, and let's face it, I like making things pretty, I'm pretty confident in how I can redo the tiniest room in this house and make it awesome. Basically, I usually just use that room for sleeping, storage, and reading, I have a seperate work area in the second dining room in my parents' duplex which is nice and big for everything I need to do art and crafts. Also, this room doubles as a guest bedroom whenever I'm not there so I'm not going to make this room overly 'personal' but it'll definetely be in a style that I like.

Mom kind of set up the color scheme already with the furniture, the covers, and the blinds so it's going to be in powder blues and whites, which I like too. It's also a little 'country' with this tiny vanity that she bought and wants to keep in there so I can work around that too. My personal tastes run along the lines of the 'urban art noveau' that's actually really popular right now so I'm slightly 'in style and trendy', but I think can run close to Mom's taste. I already know the layout of the furniture, which is to slant the bed in the corner, take out the dresser, maybe add in a bookshelf and a small chair, and put the vanity against the wall.

( The places I've been going to for ideas are... )

*squirms*

ACHOO! *sniffle* I lied about the picture update, but I moved the furniture around in the room and now I'm organizing all the stuff that's in it. Some of it isn't even mine! My brothers' toys are in here too!

But I found all of my old art pieces and I'm kind of squirming with embarassment. Geez, it's stuff from elementary school to college and a lot of them are... are... well, there are no words. You know when people tell you how much you've grown and you squirm with embarassment because it really silly to hear? Well, I'm telling myself this and making myself squirm. *facepalm* A lot of the terrible ones are going into the trash, mostly sketches and things from middle school and high school. I think Mom wants to keep some of the stuff from elementary school, and to be honest, some of the stuff from elementary school is actually better than the crud I did in middle school and high school. XD

There are certain pieces from college that I'm at a loss of what to do it. They're good pieces but not useful for my portfolio and I don't think my family wants to keep them. I kind of want to keep them though, but I wouldn't know what to do with them either. I think these are going to be donated or something, they're not FANTASTIC pieces or anything and I don't think anyone would want them if I tried to sell them. I did find pieces that I want to give to people though, Annie, I found that landscape I painted that you said you liked!

Oh man, I should scan some of these in.
