I moved into the house I am living in right now back in August of last year and I have finally gotten my bedroom to look like it has some style. When starting the design process of my bedroom and bathroom I used the Dress My Nest (a TV show on the Style Network) technique and looked to my wardrobe for inspiration. I am telling y'all about this because I really think it is a helpful technique. Sometimes designing a room can be overwhelming and you don't know where to start.
On Dress My Nest they pick out "personal items" and "style items" to use for inspiration. A personal item can be anything that has sentimental value and you like the look of. A "style item" is something out of your wardrobe that suits your style.
Although my room is still a work in progress, I am happy with it enough to show y'all the pictures of it and explain how I used my "personal items" and "style items" for inspiration. I wish I had a before picture to show y'all of what my room looked like before, but sadly I can't find one. But rest assured, it was pretty ugly. The walls were green and it had really old blue carpet. The bathroom actually wasn't that bad, but I still had to change it up a bit because that's how I roll.
Here are the personal and style items that I chose to use for my room:
