Lol, nothing wrong with fur, I was just worried I might offend you or someone else with suggesting killing a real polar bear and putting it on your floor. I don't think I could bring myself to kill a tiger or polar bear when you can get very convincing synthetic replicas, but sheep and cows... we do eat them after all...

I'm loving your progress! I'm also a bit jealous too. I can never manage to stick to a project, I always get caught up with another one before I'm done with the first. XP Anyways, good luck and I can't wait to see more pictures!

DAY 4 part 1User Image

. . . So Im feeling a little better but I havent got to the room a lot lately.. been putting it off .. Im lazy like that. BUT YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT I FOUND!... I was at an antique shop, that I go to a lot and I mentioned to the lady that owns it (a very cool lady) that I needed a night stand, and casually, she said "Did you see that little white one I have over there?" and so she takes me over there and VIOLA! ITS THE EXACT MATCH TO MY DRESSER. No joke, it was one of the set! So of course I bought it XD ... Now I dont have to worry about finding one that matches. So thats one less thing to stress about. ^^
Going to paint the wall today (that icky brown one) .. Will put up more pictures tonight when I get it done! ^^ I did get the other window painted ^^ Go me!

I'd have s**t my pants if I'd had that kind of luck with the nightstand. Congrats. ^_^

What kind of lighting are you planning to use? Any ideas on lamps and stuff? I still hold strong for the chandelier. lol

DAY 4 part 2User Image

. . . Im so sorry! I didnt get more uploaded like I promsied I would ;_; ... I had to go to my ex boyfriends house last night and it turned into a couple hours of fighting and whatnot ;_; ... But Im sorry again, please dont be angry!
I had a problem last night, We found out that the walls behind the paneling (which was going to come off) are in really bad shape so I had to find a way to work around them.. Just painted paneling looked really bad so.. I had to come up with something to make it look alright.. This is the only thing I could think of.. There will be some pale blue inbetween the stripes so dont judge yet please! ;_;
And I decided this mirror will be above the dresser.
Alpha Drug - My friend at the antique store said she will keep an eye open for a chandelier for me because I loved your idea! So after I find two small matching lamps and make the shades out of the fabric I have that matches the curtains, thats all that will be used for lighting. I think a mini one is going to look amazing!

It doesnt look bad in pictures but in person the plain white on the panels looked really bad. . .
http://i960.photobucket.com/albums/ae81/lirium/Makeover/Day 4/makeoverday4017.jpg
The pale pale blue will be in the recessed striped between the yellow and white, just to break it up some.

DAY 5User Image





. . .Not much done today.. (again) as the wall was a pain in my and Eli's butt. BUT we got it done! Hopefully going to start on the floor tonight so the trim around the walls and whatnot can be painted ^^ And perhaps I'll get a bed... that would be very nice. The city wide garage sale is coming up so I hope I can find some lamps there that would match alright enough to redo and ... yeah... More to come later tonight, I hope!

I'm jealous! Your room renovations inspired me to keep fixing up my own though it's not very lolita... more gothic lolita. XD And I have a faux chandelier.

Indeed. Your renovations also make me want to make me redecorate as well, but I have so much stuff that is not happening. Well, I guess that's what the Sims is for.

. . .Im sorry for no updates last night, or probably tonight.. Im just sanding the floor so nothing has really gotten done. x.x .. On a side note though, I managed to rip the pad of my finger open and get another stain on the floor that needs to be sanded out lol.. No one can say my sweat and blood didnt go into this room! ... So I dont know what else to say right now other than the floor is coming along alright, but I dont know how well im going to be able to even it out. ;_; .. So it might not be the most beautiful floor in the world, but man will it be smooth! ^o^

. . . So this is what the two little lamps I found look like.. Depending on how they look with the rest of the stuff in the room, I might end up painting the base of them white. ^^
