@UrbanCricket: I (and I'm the question asker) don't think it's a weird question. I needed a dresser and I found on on CL. It was a good deal ($20!) and good quality (wood). The bones are good, but the finish is fug and I want to change that. Seems like a typical question to me.

@ALittlePaint WOW! Your dresser looks gorgeous.

This could not have come at a better time. I am moving into my first real place out after living in a college dorm for 4 years. Do I need 20,000 pens? NO! And they are easily replaceable! Seriously, thank you for these tips.

Definitely DVR. I have a 10 y/o sister who doesn't know life without it. One time I told her,"Kelly did you know that you used to not be able to pause TV?" And she was like,"NO WAY." So yea, that's something.

@CMCINNYC--Good point on the drinking thing! My parents were the same way and when I went to college I was WAY more tame when it came to drinking that my roommate who came from a super-strict household.

Shoot. I meant to say "Like" to @michellem9's comment. I think these shades are ghastly.

NEVER check your jewelry is something that I've been taught and abide by. Really, you shouldn't check anything super-valuable. Not checking chargers is a good idea.

I really like this, and it can easily transform into an elementary, middle and then high school girl room.

I love it! Especially the black and white chevron rug. That contrasts fabulously with the all the baby pink.

Question: How is the chalkboard headboard? I wouldn't want a kid getting chalk all over her bed linens and it looks like the pillows are destined to turn into accidental erasers.

I notice that you are hanging on to some boxes (on top of your fridge). You really don't need to keep them, they are a total space sucks. If you are a person who must keep the original boxes for all of your appliances and what not at least break them down and hide them under a couch or behind a wall unit or something.
