The Room Make-Over

This weekend we had a giant 12-hour, reality-tv show worthy make-over of my room! 
It was fantastic. 
Nate and I went to IKEA: also known as adult disneyland, at least for me. 
I love ikea.  I love decorating.  I love making a place a home.  
I can't wait to make a home for my family one day. 

Anyway. I invested. And I am extremely pleased with the results. 
The only thing that I kept is my bed, everything else was out with the old in the with new! 
Plus they were running a promotion where if you spend more than $100 you can deduct your meal from the ikea food court from your bill...which meant Nate and I indulged big time on ikea food.  
It was so awesome. 
It's things like this that I get much more excited about than the average human being. 

So without further ado, I give you...

The Before:

Oh, those plastic bins and flower rug.



The "college lamp" needed to go. 

My dumpster-diving dresser

cords, ugliness under my bed, and plastic furniture.

After:

New nightstand, new bed skirt, no cords!!!



New dresser!

New vase and pretty flowers.

Pretty flowers from Nate.

New lamp!

Framed painting I bought in Italy


Newly painted frame

New bed skirt, new rug!



Newly framed Italy painting.

Love them!
