My New Space

Good morning kiddies,

As I previously told you, I have been so MIA lately cause I have been working on settling into my new space. Well I am finally done! And here is a look...

Above is a look at my room from just inside the door. You can't see my bed that is to the left too well. I decided to paint my walls two different shades of blue. One wall - to the left - is a bright turquoise colour. The other three walls are a complimenting light blue. The walls remind me of the ocean and they are very nice bright which helps in this basement room.

Most of the work of actually creating this room was done by my parents. I did the finishing touches like paint (the first coat) and where things should go. My rents put up the walls, put down the floor, put in the ceiling, light fixtures etc. They did a wonderful job!

Here is the turquoise accent wall. I decided to hang up some of my art in a configuration like this because I really like symmetry and also, I thought the pot lights would hit them at the right angle to really make them pop. I think my couch looks phenomenal against this colour. I am hoping to get some pops of pink throughout the room eventually. It is still a work in progress.

Above and below are my books. You know how addicted I am to them well they need a prominent place to be displayed. I have been thinking about replacing the bookshelves with more classical looking shelving in white. This I think will have to wait for now.

I love that elephant below and above. I got it at Home Sense and when I saw it, I HAD TO HAVE IT!!

Below is a TV stand I recently bought at IKEA. I love the lines of it and the hardware. Even though I am in a basement room with only one small window, I wanted to make the most of it. I decided to hang my full drapes up (as you can see below) in order to create the illusion of height. I think it makes the ceiling look higher. Also, the colour goes very nicely with the paint.

I know I still have that silly lamp. It has actually grown on me. I might remove it but for now, I will keep it. So many people who see it really like it.

Now we are into the bedroom portion of my room.

Above is where the magic happends - my closet BUT I will get into that in a later post.

Now for the details in the room. Below is the central light fixture of the room. I love it. Super modern and clean. It also puts out a lot of light which is so necessary in a basement room.

Here is my bedside wall lamp. I love the shade. I find it clean, modern and still feminine. I also have a stand up version next the couch - you can see it in a photo above.

Now to show off the wonderful floors my rents put in for me. I was not a huge fan of the colour originally, but I think it looks awesome with the paint and my furniture.

So kiddies, what are your thoughts on my space? Worth my slight abandonment of you? I promise I will try and put out more posts more often.
