Built In A Day.

I'm still in the process of working on my room. Yesterday, I rearranged all the furniture and made a fail of a trip to Ikea. Can you believe they had no black furniture? Everything there is black-brown or brown-black. So, despite the fact that we made an extra long drive to get to Ikea (and all I ended up with was a clock, a very cute clock, but a clock nonetheless), I ended up going to Target. And I couldn't have done better there. I found a bookshelf that was just what I was imagining for my room ($19.99), a side table to use as my nightstand ($14.99), a new rug, a body pillow cover, a new set of sheets, new pillowcases, and the cutest mini-fan.

Yesterday we built the new furniture and got most things set up. I just have little things left to do. I need to get a new TV (mine is so old, so my parents decided I could get a new one and just take it to college with me), and I need to figure out where certain things should be plugged in and all that. I also need to finish de-cluttering my dresser a bit and I have to decide where I want to move around the things that were on my walls. That will be the most difficult part!

Anyway, today I recovered the cushion (though it isn't very cushy) on my chair with left over fabric from my quilt, and later I'm working on getting rid of that clutter!

(I looked for pictures of my purchases for the room online, and couldn't find any of it! So I thought I'd just provide you with another inspiring room picture. Pictures of my own room, coming soon.)
