Re-Decorating: My current room

As I mentioned here, I am re-decorating my room. I have two trouble corners, where I need something to put there. I also have pretty blank walls that are just dying to have awesome art hung on them. As I promised, here are pictures of my room as it is now. Suggestions from you all are greatly appreciated. I need major help!



^trouble corner #1


^trouble corner #2.

I'm not sure what to put in these corners, like I said in the other article I was thinking maybe a small couch or chair for trouble corner #1. Not too sure about trouble corner #2. And, as mentioned here, I am on the search for cool things to hang on my walls, so if you have any websites or stores that have potential for awesome art, leave a comment!

So basically I am asking for suggestions here. I'm in an interior design rut. Blah.

Re-Decorating- Art part 1

A few weeks ago, I was looking under the "apartment" section on the UO website, when I saw the print shop link. I clicked on it, looked around, and now I've found a billion new ways to spend my money on art.

You can buy an art print, a laptop skin, or and iPhone or iPod skin, if you haven't already heard seen it, you should definitely check it out!

Here are some of my favorites, which I am considering ordering to hang in my room.








Have you explored the UO print shop? What are your favorite places to buy art? Which of these are your favorites? Let me know what you think!

Re-Decorating: Seating

Only recently have I started being caring about what my room looks like and making it into my own unique space. I bought this bed set about a year ago from Delia*s, and I still love it. I also bought a very cute bulletin board to match (I'll take pictures of all this for you later, after I clean up my room. It's a bit messy right now). But, there is this corner that just has a plastic blue bin that holds all my wii games and miscellaneous things that don't have a home in my room, and it does not look cute at all. I'm looking for some sort of chair or couch to put there.

In an ideal Gracey World, I would have a bathtub couch like the one in Breakfast at Tiffany's. I've spent a lot of time trying to find one, and I did indeed find my dream couch on Etsy.

Cute, right? It's even a Tiffany Blue-ish color on the outside. I love it. But what I don't love, is the price tag. $1,700! And as far as comfort goes, I'm not too sure if this would be a winner. But, if I had large sums of money, I would buy this in a heartbeat. No fear though, one day I will have my bathtub couch!

Etsy teases me a lot. I found another couch that I really like, but again, the price is just too high for my little $8 and hour budget.

It's black and white, which matches my bedroom. It's antique, which also matches my bedroom (well, my bedroom isn't antique, just antique accents). But if I were to spend $2,000 on something now, it would probably be a new laptop or go on a major shopping spree. Or, you know, be responsible and pay back my credit card bill.

Now, I did find something I liked a little on the cheaper side (which I still can't afford right now, but it's a heck of a lot better than the $2,000 one) at Urban Outfitters.

It's very Marie Antoinette! I guess that's why they call it an Antionette Fainting Sofa. I really like the color, and I think it matches the blue accents in my room. They also have a light pink version which I also like, and might be good to add a pop of pink here and there.

Anyway, I'm not planning on buying anything big until I get my credit card completely paid off, so I might just stick to little things for now. I'll post pictures for ya'll so you can get the full effect of Gracey World :)

Any suggestions? Would you pay that much for the antique sofa or the bathtub couch? Are you re-decorating too? Let me know what you think!
