bedroom makeover / before's and progress

jarman and i just finished a long day of getting crap done in our room. it is looking so good! not everything is finished, but i wanted to share what our room looked like before and how far we have come! the walls were brown which made the room seem dark and small, especially with only on window. we used to have a brown duvet and chartreuse sheets. pretty much all of the furniture will stay in the same places, and we are keeping all of it, so we are just working on making everything look prettier! (all of these pictures were taken with an iphone, and most of them were late at night, sorry for the crappy quality!)

this panorama picture shows the layout of the room (it is taken from the door). our massive king bed takes up lots of the space, but we wouldn't trade it for the world. to the left of the bed is our desk and bookshelf. at the end of the bed is our dresser and our tv hangs above.

my mom and sisters decorated our room for christmas- complete with our own adorable and real christmas tree. she also got us some gold polka dot vinyl decals for the wall, and lots of other cute christmassy items.

that last picture is how the room looked before we went to bed. you don't even know how excited i am to have desk drawers!

now all we need to do i finish/install the headboard, hang all of the art, work on more organization, and style everything!
