Bed/Side table
Room w/ light.
Bedding + Pillows (Nautica, Bed Bath and Beyond)
Before I moved into my room, I knew I could paint it. That in mind, I wanted to find a color scheme that A.) made me feel comfortable, and B.) Looked good. Naturally I referenced design magazines and various other resources, but it turned out incredibly easy to simply find sheets that I liked, and take the colors to my local paint shop to match. The paint was cheap (only living here for ~2 years, so I didn't need the lifetime stuff). By using a laser level, I was able to have the same clean lines all around the room by 'lasering' the line out, then laying painters tape over it. Pretty easy! The furniture from the entire room was picked up over time through Craigslist, which happened to turn out to be a treasure chest of IKEA furniture!! Awesome for a broke college kid like myself...my apologies for the odd lighting and image quality, unfortunately I don't quite have the funding for a nicer camera!
