We’ve had our house for about a year and a half, and I’ve been pretty lazy on making it my own. We painted the downstairs living area all in a camel color to spare us from the plain white walls. It’s very subtle, but I think it works. It makes everything homey.
Go upstairs, and it’s a different story. The bathrooms are stark white, but the bedrooms are all… weird. The master bedroom is a decent green color, but it’s flat paint. The second bedroom is white on top, dark navy blue underneath separated by molding. The room that I craft in and keep the cat stuff is this horrible green color that made me upset just to see it. So being on vacation, I had the time to change it.

After:
I keep my camera equipment, photo magazines and my diploma on top, sewing stuff in the compartments. The desk and hanging lights are by Ikea; there is enough room for my sewing machine and serger.
Here’s where I want to do a little more work. I have a very old sewing machine under the small desk there that I want to get rid of. The cat tree hasn’t been finished in a few years, so I need to finish carpeting and roping it. The TV is currently on top of the old vanity from my bathroom project. I haven’t decided if I want to get an LCD (read: spend money) and place it on top of the bookcase/desk, or keep this (read: free) and just refinish the vanity to a darker color. If I get rid of all of that, I want to put a sleeper sofa for guests.
Last view of room. Inside the closet is where I keep the cat stuff and storage that I rearranged today.
There’s my self dummy with a dress project I’m working on, along with my beads and various other things.
I’m happy with how it turned out, I’m just not sure it’s finished yet.
