Your room is beautiful!! Love the colors and clean lines. May I ask where the bed is from if you remember? My husband and I have been looking for one like it. Lovely and simple! Thank you in advance!

The leggings? No way. The pillows look quite fun, though!

My parents never did much decorating. They changed "themes" every few years...from angels to North Woods to Wild West. Most of the walls were either left white or a cream color and I absolutely craved color. I would have loved to have been able to paint my walls growing up, but I was never allowed to. Now that I am moved out and married I have a red wall in the living room, a cobalt blue wall in the bedroom and a sort of earthy gold in the bathrooms (thinking of changing that though) with the rest a neutral cream. Once they saw what I did, they actually started to come out of their shell and painted one room something other than white!! Haha.


How Did Your Parents' Color Choices Influence Your Own?

In my opinion it works better with a smaller amount of books. I did this with a small group on a shelf next to my desk. It looks quite nice and I plan to keep it that way. Now if I did it with the 4 or 5 bookcases that are completely filled in the living room...no thanks. From looking at these pictures and past ones I feel it would be too overwhelming for our space. To each their own, though! :)

Wonderful use of the space! I could see this also being used for their favorite action figures or other toys as they get older and the toys get smaller. Although I could use this right now for some of my husband's things. Ha!

LOVE! My husband and I also have many books (and movies) that line the walls of our living room and bedroom. Looks like you put a lot of work into making this a wonderful home. I like that it isn't too "put together" as most homes are always in a state of flux IMHO. Especially love your bedding. ;)

Cowboy Bebop! I have that jam in my head now. I would also love to know where the poster is from. I love the idea of the clothes worn once basket!

I love all colors, except for pink. Pink is just disgusting to me. It may look great in other's homes, but I would never even consider it in mine. Otherwise, most other colors look fine, it just matters how the decor will change how the color is perceived.

LOL I like twilight, but all of the merchandizing for it is dizzying.

Both the salt and pepper shakers and the ceiling panels are lovely! Rustic without being over the top.
