Craft Room Frustration
So with the new house, I have an official craftroom that our cat is not allowed in. It's painted a beautiful green, and all of the stuff in the room is white or natural wood (pictures to come). But there's still something missing. Right now I'm working on a rickety brown card table until we have the time, energy, and money to buy the white shelf/desk set and 2-drawer white filing cabinet that I've had my eye on at IKEA for a while now.
But even when I can envision that furniture in the space, there's just something missing. Part of it is the perpetually closed door, the lack of a cute kitty following me wherever I go, the fact that it's the coldest room upstairs, and it kind of echoes. I really think I need a nice plush rug on the floor (I'm thinking green, maybe something like the one on the right). Maybe I need some pictures on the walls, maybe I just need another spot of color (I'm thinking lavender or red). Whatever it is, I currently avoid that room like it's my job, and that's sad considering I've wanted a craft room for ages. I'm hoping finally having the shelf and desk in there will help, but who knows. My husband thinks it's silly that I'm not using the room I was so excited about when we moved in. But I just can't explain to him what's bugging me until I figure it out for myself.

If I had a bedroom to decorate...
I have been reading Un-blog-evable's, "If I had a [room] to decorate..." posts. The latest in the line was a bedroom. I thought it was really interesting, so I'm going to follow suit. However, since I already have a bedroom to decorate, I think my challenge to myself will be... how would I decorate that bedroom if I had unlimited funds (not to mention I'd want us to own our own place first).
As for decorations, I'd start with these green tiffany lamps for the bedside tables and this hanging lamp.
Paint from the Natura Bejamin Moore line and wooden floors from here.
Bed from Anthropologie found here with a white comforter set from The Home Decorating Company.
An awesome refurbished green dresser and these cool twisty wooden tables from vivaterra as end tables.
As for decorations, I'd start with these green tiffany lamps for the bedside tables and this hanging lamp.
On top of the dresser, I'd love some candles.
On the walls, I'd hang several of these frames, with this artwork in it.
