Help! How should I re-design my room? (+ a lovely Lilly giveaway!)

My room is LONG overdue for a makeover. Mind you, this is my bedroom at my parent's house, which I've lived in since I was 9, and currently live in only during breaks off from school. And nothing in it has changed since I was 9, either! However, I'll be moving back home after I graduate next year, so it's about time for my outdated room to get a classy face lift.

I've removed a whole bunch of stuff (including the curtains), and now I'm left with an empty-looking collection of furniture. Here's what we're working with:

Awful! I don't know if you feel the same, but being in a mismatched unsightly room makes me feel unhappy and anxious. There's a definite lack of harmony. (Speaking of which...does anyone know anything about feng shui?)
However, even in the pictures above, my room looks better than it used to, as it was once decked out in floral EVERYTHING (my mom got a coordinating room set from Sears, I think.) Here's all that remains of the floral curtains, bedspread and dust ruffle:


Good riddance!

I'm in a rut for design ideas, though, especially since I have a blue carpet, which limits what I can do with the color scheme, and a limited budget as well.
So what do you all think- how would you redesign my room?

• What color would the walls be?
• How would you arrange the furniture?
• What color would the curtains and bedspread be?
• What sort of decorative accents should I have? (Something needs to go in-between those windows...)
  
  Thanks so much! I'd appreciate any ideas and insight you have.

Award + Giveaway!

Yay! A big thanks to Preppy Lane for giving me this award :) Visit her adorable blog if you haven't already!
According to the award rules, I shall post 7 things about myself that I haven't already told you, and I'll pass on the award to several other great blogs.

1.) My middle name is Jayne.

 An old English surname on my mother's side that has been passed down the last few generations as a female middle name.

2.) My favorite perfume is Ralph Lauren Romance.

3.) I wear a claddaugh ring that I never take off.
It's a size 3.5...aka toddler size. It's gold with a teeny little diamond chip in the middle.

4.) I'm a Big Sister in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.
My Little's name is Makayla, and she's a girly girl just like me.

5.) I took piano lessons for 9 years and still teach myself a tune every now and then.
Right now I'm teaching myself  "Traumerei" by Schumann. It's a pretty little piece.

6.) When I was a kid, I wanted to be a horticulturist when I grew up.
I liked flowers, and my Aunt told me that a scientist who works with flowers is called a horticulturist. My mind quickly changed when I took my first biology class.

7.) I followed figure skating religiously when I was little.
Michelle Kwan was my hero. I was upset when I realized ice skating isn't as easy as it looks!

1.) BKR Fashion
