I think it turned out well

As I mentioned, I redecorated my room last weekend, and while I have no talent or ability to do decoration... I still am really picky about my taste. Well- thats not true... if Im going to spend a lot of money on anything- Im very picky about it. I have lived in a pig sty for many years...so this is definitely an upgrade. It was fun to do, and I still need some more, but the basic elements are done. The furniture I got is called 'dark tobacco', and its a real rich, fairly dark wood, but with a good hint of red in there. Its really beautiful furniture. So to compliment the wood, I wanted to go with a dark red with a little burnt orange for the main pallet. Again- I have no idea what I'm doing, Im just kind of making it up...so please anyone that actually knows about this stuff... please educate me!! I felt very inadequate trying to come up with this stuff :-(

So being that the wood is very dark and the other main colors (reds, oranges) were dark, the walls had to be light. The walls are a taupe, gray color, and I repainted the trim and ceiling bright white. I just cleaned the carpet, because I didn't have enough money to buy new carpet (and I borrowed a carpet cleaner from a company I used to work for)... but a new carpet would look really nice.



For the art, I went with the metal sculpture. I gotta say- it looks so much better in person. Its highly reflective, and the colors are very complex and rich. Everytime I look at it, I get a little something different... also it works even better than I expected with the rest of the colors.

Here are two pics- my focus sucks, so the art doesn't show well in this pic, but you at least get the idea. BTW- I highly recommend this mattress. Its like Im sleeping in a box of kittens... totally amazing. I sink like a few inches in to the bed its so soft, but still has enough firmness so I don't feel like I'm in quick sand.



Have a safe weekend!
