I also am an organizational freak so I enjoy the magazine itself.<br /><br />I'd say start with the bedspread. Find one that speaks to you. I like the ones at Crate & Barrel, and they are reasonably priced as well. Bedspreads change a room quicker than anything else. (I'd get a full or queen for now. They look fine on a twin and then you can keep it for when you have a larger bed.)<br /><br />Then have fun with throw pillows. Add pops of color. Think of it like shoes or accessories in an outfit.<br /><br />I didn't feel the need to redo my home room after I moved out, but you could also look into desks. You can find good ones at ebay or at my standbys, Crate & Barrel, Scandinavian Design, or Ikea. I'm not sure what your taste in furniture is; check out Cupcakes & Cashmere blog for someone who has totally different taste than I do (but much more interesting).<br /><br />Also, hang stuff on the walls! They look lonely. I got rid of most of my sports trophies a while ago but if you like them, then keep them. I am much more into books so that's what I choose to display, along with postcards of places I have been.<br /><br />If you have fashion sense you have decorating sense. They are similar, except it's much easier to find the right size for your room.<br /><br />Good luck!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699494827114590480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878229598908777758.post-35734024013045292362011-06-24T22:55:38.316-04:002011-06-24T22:55:38.316-04:00When I saw your comment I was hoping you'd hav...When I saw your comment I was hoping you'd have pictures of your room/decorating ideas! Tips/stuff I did when deciding on my room theme is look at weheartit.com Pinterest and tumblr for rooms you love. Obviously these are a bit ornate, but they can give you a good feel to what you want your room to be! Then see if they have a common theme (mine was vintage) and go from there! A wonderful thing is craft blogs because usually their crafts are easy and cheap. I love Jones Design Co.<br />http://jonesdesigncompany.com/<br />and all her crafts!<br />For my bed pictures (I have way more than I put on my blog!) I googled 'comfiest bed ever'. I know, kind of silly. Doing all this made everything a lot easier! <br />Hope all this helps :)Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09646283266123237295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878229598908777758.post-49466079983475255922011-06-13T01:36:21.756-04:002011-06-13T01:36:21.756-04:00I love Re-Lilly!
