Evolution of Style: Month 4 (November)

I never posted one of these for October because nothing changed in the month of September. I continued to sleep on the floor and made only very small changes to my room, like reorganizing my books. However, this November edition introduces a whole new bedroom.

First, I obtained the bed frame I wanted. Someone was selling it on Craigslist and offered to deliver it for $30 extra dollars. Considering a u-Haul would cost me at least $50 and I was getting a deal on the frame already, I said yes. I still didn't have a mattress, so I slept on the floor inside the confines of the bed frame. With the frame available, I was able to rearrange my furniture to the layout I had planned months ago.

These guys napped while I set everything up. 

A beautiful bed frame! Wheee!

My nest moved from the corner into the middle of the bed frame. 

Then, a mattress was delivered to my door! I went to IKEA and picked up the duvet cover I have had on my "Room Essentials" list for months. I found a pair of the night stands I wanted on craigslist  for less than the cost of one new and the person selling them lived less than 10 minutes away.

What a change, right? 

Eventually I'd like to get the dresser that matches my bed and put it in closet, along with a little ladder of scarves.  

The shelf finally made it onto the wall! 

Details: my perfume tray

Details: I got this globe for $3 at Goodwill!
Plus, I found those vases (which I already knew I wanted) in the "As-Is" section at IKEA.
There is nothing wrong with them, but they were 50% off. 

Details: I wear Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche to bed, so I keep it on my night stand.
My sheets smell like it, and it makes me calm and happy. 

Details: I couldn't help myself when I saw that box at Target.
I just love it and it fits into my room's scheme so well. 

I'm very happy with my room right now. I mean, I get to sleep on a real bed and not the floor: that alone is delightful. I do have some little DIY projects I'd like to complete though, including: 

• painting/gold leafing my wooden tray from target 
• painting/gold leafing my jewelry box 
• changing the knobs on my night stands (I like these from Hobby Lobby) 
• making a ladder (like this one) to hang my scarves on 
• painting and hanging my Van Gogh sunflowers
