FINALLY finished unpacking my bedroom!

8/9/2011

Moving an entire apartment can be a little bit of an undertaking (note: this is a HUGE underSTATEMENT!)

That being said, please don't judge me for leaving a corner of my bedroom piled with a few bags/boxes (mostly of yarn actually) and a stack of pictures waiting to be hung up.

First, let's start with the yarn - I crammed what I could into the empty shelf in my bookcase:

The rest I left in a box (ie. my Tinkerbell tote - Katie knows what I mean...) and put it in the closet with my other crafting goodies.

Then it was time to decorate the walls a bit!

A few favorite photo memories over the dresser

And finally, my black-and-white-photo corner!

I saw this poster a while back and just had to have it.  I have a thing for black and white (I'm sure you can tell by my bedding and the rest of the furniture in my room!).

Plus, she just looks sooooo elegant and beautiful... siiiigh....

The other two photos?  

My all time favorite, of course!  The oh-so-famous Charles C. Ebbets photo,  Lunch Atop a Skyscraper!  

And then a parody made using women... :)

I also threw together a set of shear panel curtains to add some femininity to the very boxy window that is smack dab in the middle of my outside wall!

Adorable, yes???  

Don't give me too much credit - I got them at Target but they were a little long (ie. I don't want them to burn come November when I turn the baseboard heaters on) so I just did a little hemming (at the top believe it or not!), which not only shortened them but also gave a cute little ruffle along the top!

And that's it for now!  I have plans for the remaining empty walls (I realize that now it might actually look a little lop-sided but just trust me for a little bit) - you will be kept in the loop, of course!

1. I love it all!
2. my yarn is still in Tink.
3. I also still have a pile of the exact same contents: yarn, framed photos, etc. and I don't know what to do with it.
4. I miss you.

That's very nice! Adorable. I have also discussed about setting up a bed room in my post. The idea is somewhat similar to yours. Do have a look :)
