OK chicas.. Got my furniture and actually have space to fix up my room this time.. HELP!!!!!!!
Not sure where to put this.. On the side wall above the green couch
Next to the print above the black couch???????????????? Over my bed?!?! WHERE DAMMIT WHERE??
I'm thinking this one will hang here but 1. I'm too short to reach and 2. I'm not sure I should hang it until I get a desk/storage unit and a bed??????????????
************************
For the corner instead of a desk..
I'm thinking I'll go with this one if I can't find something in black 
My messy azz bed after sleeping in it, woot woot!
It looks like something out of a dayum Indian Bollywood music video with that yellow/gold shizz
*****************************
I want this!!!!!! It would look perfect in the corner by the pink tables
I found it on CL when I was looking around after putting an ad up for my day bed
and the chick wrote back and said we could pick it up this weekend.. BUT I haven't heard back from her with a time/place yet sooooo.. who knows maybe she sold it already. I looooooooove it though and they don't sell it at Ikea no mo!!! 
******************************
All of my bedding came and as soon as I get home today I'm going to clean/fix up my room
The hot pink is gorgeous but a little TIDBIT of info the sellers on amazon left out.. the back of the duvet is YELLOW!!!!!!!!!! PUKE YELLOW!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAA NOOOOO NOOOOOOO PUKE YELLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
This I like..
THIS I DO NOT!!!@(!*#&!@(#*&!#@(*&
YELLOW!? SERIOUSLY!??!?
************************
Getting wrinkly already but the prints themselves are gorgeous and great quality so.. all I'm going to do (eventually) is go to Michaels or some crafts store and get a slightly thicker black paper for the border
*************************************
OK I'm retracting my 'DAMN YOU BUDGET FRAMES' for $10 this shizz is SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!
Diff background paper so it doesn't smudge and wrinkle and I'm good to go, WOOT WOOT!!
*************************
I found this tshirt in storage yesterday and was CRACKING HE HELLZ UP!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! I went shopping with my sister and mom when they came to visit me in VA a few years back and bought it.. just to wear around the house.. I swear!!!!!
***************************
I finally painted the shelves, woot woot!
Now.. I *SHOULD* have sanded or at LEAST used a primer on the stupid thing before painting.. I know I know
But I have zero patience so I just painted the dang thing as is
As a result it was extremely slick and you can see brush strokes.. and nicks, etc. in the wood (very, very old..) but it's all good
It's a temporary thing.. I bought way too much paint so in a few months once I have everything set up.. I'll redo it and make it look N I C E!
********************
Sooo I just used my amazon gift card to order this duvet cover and sham.. its the ONLY fusia duvet cover I could find!!
I found a couple others on sites that I was not willing to put my CC # on (unfortunate because they have some seriously cute stuff.. lots of hot colors and leopard prints going on
) I got the black fitted sheet and pillow cases so now I just have to get a black king size duvet for my down comforter and I'm good to go on the bedding

****************************
OK girls.. So we moved my furniture in this past weekend.. FINALLY!!
My dresser got all scratched up, the couch and mattress are super dirty bleh and I don't have enough storage space
basically the room needs a LOT of work but its soooooo nice to start getting my stuff in here
Sooooooo this is the first round of storage moved in.. I have a TON of crap at my parents house (I'm thinking I'll wait a month or two to get that) and then another huge storage unit that I think I'll leave alone..
Here are some before pictures that you guys have already seen
*******************************
And now for the moving..
I actually rented the smallest truck available but they had to give it to this wanker that was causing drama in the office.. Soo they upgraded us for free to his monster
Neither of us wanted to drive the dayum thing.. and Craig (who of course was forced to drive it hahahaha) nearly got us into so many accidents I was scared sh*tless
I found a picture of Jesus in my storage unit.. which I promptly put up in the truck to scare Craig into driving safely
Jesus is watching youuuuuuuuuu
Starting to get stuff moved in.. I didn't get any shots of the room when it was a TOTAL disaster zone, but you get the picture ![]()
***********************************
And here we have the finished product
So what I need to figure out is..
1. What sheets will match the room
2. What color to paint the small wooden shelves
3. What rugs will match
4. What prints I want
5. Where to put those pink tables
6. If I should bother keeping my smaller mattress (up against the wall behind the pink tables) or keep the sh*t mattress Maria gave me.. roomier but less comfortable hmmmmmmmm............
7. Should I give away my white day bed which is still sitting in storage..
I'm also thinking about buying a small desk to put against the wall where the mattress is.. so I don't have to lay on the floor with the laptop
This is really old and I want to sand and paint it.. but I'm not sure which color would match the room
There are so many freakin colors going on in this room its hard to decide.. I would like to have something bright aka no white or black but.... hmmm what do you guys think? My cousin suggested turquoise and white which I think would be awesome but don't think will match
As you can see there isn't a lot of space left in storage..
Or in my closet ![]()
****************************
Here are prints I'm thinking about getting..
I LOVE this but can only find it on canvas for $350
Obviously way too much
The rest I can get cheap and frame myself..
I saw this (TWINK
) on allposters.com and think it would look sweeeeeeeeeet above the green couch!?
So far I'm the only one that likes this
But red won't really match the room anyway so I guess it doesn't matter.. grrrr
Like this one but it might be a tad dark.. not really sure
There's also one of Ella that I 
Craig and I bought this one together when he was living down here.. so its hanging on his wall in MN

Post a CommentOooooooooK this is a work in progress I still have to add a bunch of shizz I just wanted to post it in case I lost all the pics uploaded.. you NEVER KNOW
I don't want to lose all of my hard work dammit
Its shaping up! Good luck!
Thanks Crispy!
I still have a lot of sh*t to do though..
And what is this I hear about you living in MD woman!? I have no idea!
hey did you get my messages?
I think you should try to match everything to the couch and end tables.
for pink and
green!
....Or not.
HAHAHAHAHA Lisa you hairy azz avie ape
I just responded to the PMs I'm about to go check what
emails you sent
I'm scared to find out hahahahahaha
Yeah Sticky! I was actually kind of thinking about that because if I take the slip cover off of my Ikea couch its cream colored.. very cool. I'm not crazy about the green color
though.. but I do like the green and blue prints so.. arghhhhhhhhh decisions decisions
HAHAHAHAHAHA OK this is really random and has nothing to do with this blog but I just got this in a forward from my dad (That's right Lisa your'e lucky I'm not forwarding it to your skank azz HAHAHAHA)
Take 60 seconds to do this, I guarantee you will show someone else....
1. go to www.google.com
2. click on "maps," above the search bar...
3. click on "get directions"
4. type " New York" in the first box (the "from" box)
5. type " Paris" in the second box (the "to" box)
6. click on "get directions"
7. scroll down to step #23
WTF????????????????
That's in google directions? UMMMMMMM
hahahaha i just did that!! Now that would be a pretty long distance to swim..
Hahahahahah Tina I know right?!
WTF kind of direction is that
It's starting to come together nice Karma!!! I like the couch it's unique!!I think a nice multi colored rug with that green in it would bring out the color of the couch in a different way....
Thanks Ruby!
The green couch actually belongs to the landlord.. the
dirty black couch is mine
Thanks girl! I have to go return the vacuum I bought after work
So I'm going to see if I can
find frames that fit the sizes of the prints I want
I can't wait to get some stuff on the
walls
Mwa ha haaaaaaaaaaa and to hoepfully find sheets that I actually like
I found sheets that I love but they only come in queen
theyre exactly like this umbrella i
totally fell in love with at Harrods.. pink with black polka dots.. they have red too but ONLY IN QUEEN ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Sounds like you've already got some stuff together.I can't wait to see the pics. The pink with black polka dot sheets sounds interesting though......
Well I like the green couch so I would stick with the pink and green like colormesticky said.
As for paint, go to HomeDepot or whatever home improvement store near year and pick out paint swatches. Then come home and hold them up against what you want to paint to see what they look like. IMO Ralph Lauren makes the best paint. Yes it is a little higher than the others, but so worth it. We used Behr when we painted the living room red. It took 5 coats to get it the right shade of red. So we ended up spending more money to buy more paint. We just recently repainted and used RL. It covered that red with just 1 coat. RL also has little paint samples they sell for around $4. This way you can paint a little section and see how well you like it without buying it.
Go to www.RLHOME.POLO.COM to see their paint and order samples.
You need to read the shark attack I sent you
your place looks awesome hobag!!!!!!!!!
and you could even rescue your crusty old
mattress yayyyyyy!!!!
Those prints are really cute too

* snap! *
Lovin those prints, karma!
Well, I pretty much suck at this but WOW! HUGE!! And I still love that couch.
Reminds me of this building, which I've always loved!
My best advice to you is to keep things simple. Lots of contrasting colors will make a small space feel even smaller. So, pick one or two colors and play those up.
Good luck!
Everything is really coming along great!
What size bed are you using? And, what color
pink is the sheet you like? If, I come across some I'll pm you the link.
I don't know about this year, but last year when my sister worked at Linens N Things they had pink & black polka dot sheets. She wound up buying the matching comforter, which has a bigass ladybug on it.
I love all your ideas!
Girrrl
Did you not like anything from the blog I
created for your room? Tons of ideas! http://teamsugar.com/group/30729/blog/123013
I agree with colorme, and RCL, stick to the colors you already have in your room, and find posters you like that have either similar colors in them, or you could do black and white prints.
AND NOOOO to painting the small wooden shelf turquoise! I'd either do white to match your dresser and other bookshelf, black, or that magenta color, but it must be an exact color to the 2 end tables you have.
Looking good KARMA !
I think I have that exact same pillow the leopard print one
I LOOOVE the way it looks! hahaha. am SHOCKED you actually cleaned it up at the end
LOL
its looking good karma, im thinking neutral tones for the rest? cos you've got some striking colours going already, so you should complement what you already have!!!
karma - didn't know you were such a jazz fan! i love ella~
i love the spain print and the london train
Liza I LOVE jazz.. Ella's probably my fav artist period.. I pretty much have her complete works solo stuff and duet. I looove Benny, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Michael Buble, Billie Holiday, Etta Jones.. etc etc etc.. Not really crazy about Sarah Vaughan but love it all for the most part.. I was listening to Diana Krall Let's Fall in Love in my car yesterday
That song is sweeeeeeeeeeet
Thanks you guys!!!! I have a TON of work to do in here.. I bought a bunch of frames yesterday super cheap
Woot woot!! So now I just have to decide what prints to get.. I'm agreeing I'm going to have to stick with the green/blue/pink/white and let go of the whole red idea
Grrrrrr it just won't match
I'm working on getting the prints put up and sheets right now.. I can NOT find the sheets that I want in the size that I need!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I find a pic of the print I'm looking for I'll post it..
after that I'm going to get some storage bins and I think a desk for the corner where that mattress is
Sticky they had pink polka dot sheets? WOOT WOOT!! I'm going to check out the website.. I kind of wanted to use the gift certificate my bro got me on amazon but they dont have anything I'm loving..
BB!! Yeaaaaaaah send me links woman!
Thanks!!
I'm not sure what I'm going to do about the bed yet.. I STILL have that daybed
in storage.. have a single mattress in here and a full.. bwaaaaa I'm not sure which one I'm going to use
True dat RCL I'm going to try to stick with the colors I have going on in here.. I like the couch two you guys but green is not my color of choice.. oh well
I'll make it work
Shilo and Mandi both of yous shut the F up
Hahahahahahahah crusty ol mattress my azz
DC I love your blog woman!! It was for the other space though.. but I'm checkin it out again right now
And yeah I think I'll try to paint that thing either the magenta color (that might be a little loud, no? I would love it tho!) black or white..
Damn Karma you and I are in the same situation as far as the decoration is going b/c I don't yet what colors to pick for my bedroom and living room...
Chica you have lots of stuff!

Behind every great man, there's a woman rolling her eyes
You think Sexy??????? Dude I have so much more.. another NICE wooden complete bedroom set and a TON of shizz in storage.. is insane. I don't know what I'm going to do with all of it when I eventually have to take it OUT of storage.. thank God I can leave it in there for now!!!
What colors are you thinking about? See you can just go with whatever you like right? But I have to try to make the colors I already have going on (damn you green couch!!!) in the room match the rest of the stuff I get....................
So you're getting ALL new stuff????????
Yes we're getting everthing new... Thank God!
I have two pictures I took with my cell but they don't look too good
_____________________________________________________________
Behind every great man, there's a woman rolling her eyes
looking good, karmababy!
OK- here are the pictures I think would look best in your room w/ the couch:
the black&white w/ the guy playing the trumpet (or whatever it is)
the one you said might be too dark w/ the night sky and stars and water
and the black&white Ella one
I also think the London Paris one would work as well... maybe closer to your bed, or you could do a sexy Marilyn one close to your bed
OK so I finally decided btw!!! I'm going to paint the wooden shelves BLACK to match the couch and prints.. the bedding set is going to be magenta/dark pink and black (woot woot! I love it).. and the prints will be black/white and then blue and green to match the one half of the room..
EVENTUALLY I'll get a desk and maybe that tv stand DC posted in her blog but I don't know where I'll find room for it all with these stinky pink tables taking up space..
Oh and definitely getting storage bins from target
awesome, sexy! that will be fun to pick everything out... or have you already gotten it all?
Thanks Gassy!
I'll check em out lata I'm getting ready for work right now
Sexy where are you getting your furniture? I'm telling you I LOVE Ikea.. they have the best stuff! I'd get all NEW furniture from there if I could afford it
What color schemes are you going with
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I don't remember Mandi but you said something offensive.. somewhere.. somehow
NAH UH!! all i said was stick to neutral colours dammit!!
i am the picture of innocence!
I'm getting all my furniture from IKEA!
I always loved Ikea, they have the best deals and great stuff!

check it out when I get home tonight!!!!! WOOT WOOT!!! i want to see all the new furniture and how you decoarate too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mandi I LOVE LOVE Ikea and I know.. you cant go through that store without wanting to buy it out
OK biznitches see you latas
You have a nice space, and a great signature piece of funiture. Since it seems like you're a girl who's not afraid of color, here goes...
Paint the walls lavender. Paint your dresser and book shelf deep, almost electric purple. You can also paint the molding around your window the same color. Or, paint the molding black.
Get some oversized black frames from Pottery Barn or Hobby Lobby. Frame several of your favorite posters. The color won't really matter as long as they're bold. The border of the black frame will reign the color in, and act as a border. Don't forget to use small-ish prints so you can use matting in the frame to look less collegiate and more sophisticated.

Roll up the blue throw rug and purchase a leopard print rug that matches the accent pillow you have in the couch. KWM has an amazing one in her "Our New House" photo album...

Are the mattress and the couch in the same room? Or is that a different room?
Cool, fun blog Karma. I love your print picks.
