Extreme Room Makeover

I've been dreaming of doing a room makeover on my own bedroom + walk-in closet for the longest time. Ever since our house was renovated almost 10 years ago, I've had the same lavender walls, printed yellow curtains and periwinkle drapes. My walk-in closet is most non-functional as I have accumulated a lot of clothes that need to be hung rather than folded, bags that need their own cubbyholes, and basically have different closet needs as compared to a decade ago. Right now, I need a space that is both comfortable and functional with a modest color scheme.

My biggest bedroom inspiration: Serena's bedroom on Gossip Girl

Not a huge fan of the polka dots on the walls but everything else, I like. Especially the eclectic mix of furniture and accessories.

An uncluttered version would probably be this:



I want that headboard. LOVE.

I can't remember which blogger has this as her closet but I love that magazine pages cover her closet doors.



Would just really appreciate some organization in my closet because right now, all I have are four laundry bins and two couches stacked with clothes acting as my makeshift closet. Will start stocking up all the bins, trays, compartments, etc. that I need to create my happy place.

Silky Smooth

Oh, how cool it would be to walk around town wearing a cape of blonde Barbie hair if just to see the reactions of my boyfriend's mom, the security guard, and. my. dog.

Chelsea Walls

I want to be a lost poem in a strangers coat pocket,

that conveys the importance of you.

To assure you of my desire, to assure you of dreams.

I want all the possibilities of you in writing. 

I want to give you your reflection. 

I want your eyes on me. 

I want to travel to the lightness with you and stay there.

I want everything before you to follow us like a trail behind me. 

I want never to say goodbye to you, even on the street corner or the phone.

I want......I want so much I'm breathless. 

I want to put my power into a poem to burn a hole in your pocket so i can sew it. 

I want my words to scream through you. 

I want the poem not to mean that much. 

And I want to contradict myself by accident, and for you to know what i mean.

I want you to be distant and for me to feel you close. 

I want endless days when its day and nightime never to end when its night.

I want all the seasons in one day. 

I want the sun to set before us and come up in front of us. 

I want water to run up to our waists and to be drenched by the rain up to our ankles with holes in our shoes. 

I want to think your thoughts becuase they're mine. I want only what's urgent with you.

I want to get in the way of the barriers and I want you to be a tough guy when your supposed to, like you do already. 

And I want you to be tender, like you do already. 

And I want us to have met for a reason and I want that reason to be important. 

And I want it to be bigger than us, I want it to take over us. 

I want to forget. 

I want to remember us. 

And when you say you love me, I don't want to think you really mean New York City and all the fun we have in it. 

And I want your smile always and your grimaces too. 

I want your scar on my lips and I want your dissappointments in my heart.

I want your strength in my soul, and I want your soul in my eyes.

I want to believe everything you say, and I do. 

And I want you to tell me what's best, when I dont know. 

And when your lost I want to find you. 

And when your weary, I want to give you steeples and cathedral thoughts and coliseum dreams.

I want to drag you from the darkness and kneel with you exhausted with the blinding light blaring on us.
