Love. Like. Loathe.

Heya Nesters! Yellow, Aqua and Chocolate. Those are the colors of my bedroom.  Way back yonder, in my old apartment, I had the most beautiful pale aqua walls that were so incredibly soothing and they totally tied my whole decor together.

Now with the "no painting" policy in my current apartment, I have been feeling a bit lost in terms of where to go with my bedroom decor. 

The only way to fix my hurtin' room is to do what I do best: over analyze.  Let's break it down. That way you can help me figure out how to build it back up the way I really want.

From the bed vignette...

 I love:

-My $3 set of white mismatched nightstands.

-The $4 white mirrors over them.  

I like:

-The duvet but I'm trying to keep my eyes out for one that would look better.

-My $20 Crate and Barrel clone lamps but am thinking about repurposing them around the apartment.

I loathe:

-The crappy digital clock.

-The placement of that poster over my bed. 

-My bed frame. It was so last apartment. I'm over it. Time to get a tufted headboard. Stat.

What I'm pondering:

-Get rid of the poster.

-A temporary wallpaper treatment.

-A wall full-o-curtains.

-New headboard.

For the dresser vignette...

I love:

-The new colorful gallery over the dresser. 

-The vintage tray and hat. 

-The color of my dresser.

I like:

-The juxtaposition of the square frames and the round mirror, but I wish I could hang the mirror. Damn policy against screwing things into the wall! Argh! 

I loath:
-That my dresser is busting at the seams. No room at all. The bottom drawer, has fallen out on the bottom. I've tried to temporarily fix it but it keeps breaking again. I just need a bigger dresser. 

What I'm pondering:

-Perhaps replacing this dresser with an antique one that I could paint a color.

-Potentially moving to the other side of the room.

For the window treatment situation...

I love:

-The unique chiffon texture of these sheers.

I like:

-The color of them, but I feel like they're hindering me in the rest of the decorating of this room.

I loathe:

-The curtain rod. It's the gross builder standard. Heinous is the word that comes to mind.

What I'm pondering:

-Getting a double curtain rod to hang a heavier curtain over these sheers.

-Make my own roman shades since the size of the window isn't standard and doesn't fit standard shades. Those metal are an eyesore!

For the mirror...

I love:

-That this only cost $40

-That its a leaner.

I like:

-The standing lamp. It's okay. I can do better.

-The versatility of this mirror.  It can be hung vertically or horizontally if the leaner style mirrors says "Sayonara!"

I loathe:

-I actually don't loathe anything about this! 

What I'm pondering...

-I'm thinking of giving this an antique gold finish. {I'm also thinking of doing this with my coffee table.}

So what do you think, Nesters?  Have you guys been in that situation too? Moved and somehow the same furniture just didn't feel as special in the second space.  It just furthers my theory that every room has its own personality.  Later this week we'll take a peek at some awesome inspiration for my bedroom. So dish, Nesters! I can't wait to hear what you have to say!
