Update from the last thread. My duvet cover, throw pillows, and pillowcases came in!
>>8975550
>Ouija board pillow.
Those are awesome.
>>8975550
Nice! I have a loft bed so no canopy for me, but I love that duvet cover.
>>8975550
Were did you get your bed covers? Love it.
I love the color blue for bedrooms
Captcha select all images with tea
Every shade of blue can look so elegant. I wish I could afford some of these rooms right now :/
Last one I know it's a kids room but still
>>8976896
Society6 makes shittons of printed duvet covers and throw pillows and tapestries. Plus t shirts and shit. The prices are pretty steep but hell, supporting artists n shit
>>8977997
Thank you! You were not lying about the price.
>>8977997
Where is that canopy from? Its perfect
>>8978159
I think I got this one? It was dirt cheap.

Me, please post more!
Hey guys! Anon here from the last thread with an update to my bed.
I got a vintage bedframe and a floral quilt today. I think it looks much nicer. I was going to get proper sheets and a bedskirt too, but my local target didn't have any I liked so I'll have to go online.
Thanks for all the suggestions! My room is really coming together now. I'll be sure to post again when I get it to look perfect.
>>8974985
THat looks like my grandma's living room.
>>8979152
Beautiful start! Where did you get that lovely flower garland?
>>8979260
Not the OP but I think you can get that (or very similar) at Joann's craft store
>>8979260
Thanks very much anon! I know I have more work to do before I'm 100% happy, but I think it looks bounds better than it did.
I got the garland at Michael's, they were having a sale. I may add little fairy lights as well.
>>8979152
I-is that literally an old hospital bed?
>>8979721
No, it's not. It's an antique bedframe from the late 1800s. My grandmother gave it to me.
>>8979049
That's so cute! I work in a lab and wish I could take some of the glassware home with me; wouldn't be a good idea since a lot of them had acid in them at one point.
Anyway, yes post more if you have any!
>>8980423
You could buy those at H&M home (EU) and some design stores sells a lot of Pyrex Glass Beakers.

Update: They do sell them in US.
I know this is a REALLY stupid question, but does anyone have any space saving tips? I am moving into a flat and I'm wondering what I can store in drawers because I've always had biws and tons of storage.
I think I'm going to have to keep my lolita dresses at my mother's (not far away), but apart from pants, socks, some shirts, underwear and manchester, is there anything else I can put in draws? I'm getting a bed with storage underneath but I have never been so grateful to have a kindle because there's no way in hell I could fit a bookcase in the bedroom.
>>8981455
What size bed do you have? Im planning on getting this to make room in my closet because it is jam packed full with no room for clothing.
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20249877/#/00249883
This with some of these http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00300292/ would be great.

I just bought a condo and looking for decoration ideas. I'm going for a very pink 50's diner look. I would love some decor recommendations or photo inspiration. Id love for it to look like a Swankiss photo set.
>>8981656
The 50s is all about clean lines, rounded chairs and sofas without the look of extra cushions. Rounded edged tables, even the fridges. Even certain color schemes. Also, the 50s were all about the future, so incorporate items that seem retro futuristic. That means toaster ovens, colored pots and pants - not just black or silver. Utensils with round ends in bright pastel colors. Its honestly going to be a little hard to make everything look Swankiss unless you plan to paint a lot.

The whole inside needs to get painted anyway so I don't mind, some if not all of the flooring on the first floor is getting replaced too. I'm doing black and white tile like in>>8981710
in both the living room and both bath rooms.
Its going to be a long slow process but I figure if I get ideas and plan now and get the painting and flooring done I can build off of that.
>>8980994
Thanks for the links, anon! I've been wanting to do my study area lab themed and this will get me started. I didn't realize they'd be so cheap when considering how much you get in a set.
>>8981001
>no actual units of measurement
>neck significantly thinner than neck
Triggered, but only slightly. H&M specializes in furniture and not lab equipment so I can't be too mad.
>>8981597
Ahh, thank you for all the links, anon! It's actually a bed with drawers underneath it, not a lift up one, which is good for me. It's a queen size, and I've already looked at door storage. I need one for towels and one for... I'm not sure.
I really like those baskets though, thanks anon! Any tips on maximizing hanging space? I was thinking/hoping that I could adjust one side of a wardrobe to add more space for skirts/petticoats and then, on top, dresses, but I have no idea how I'd go about that. I was just going to use an old wardrobe from my mother's, painted white.
Also the carpet is really grossly stained from the old tenant. Like... bleached. I want to cover it, but I've never seen rugs on carpet irl and I already need a rug in the main room because it's cork tiles, and they are so ugly that I could cry.
>so glad I'm getting a good deal on rent
Also, how do you guys go about picking a 'theme' for your home? I was thinking woodland-ish but modern, with LED flowers and porcelain deer heads and stuff like that because I'm also part hipster.
>>8982041
I think they didn't put actual measurements so that people wouldn't try to use them to contain anything hot or caustic. The glass is probably not lab grade.
>>8982059
That makes sense. I could only imagine the lawsuits against them from someone trying to do a chemistry project at home and getting burnt from it.
>>8982057
Sounds like you might as well just called a floor person. Usually they have deals for buying 2 rooms, get 1 free. Easily replace or cover the floors in the whole place.
![pbj-stories-master-bedroom[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/N0Dr81J.jpg "pbj-stories-master-bedroom[1].jpg")
>>8982057
>rugs on carpet
This is really common, isn't it? You just have to think about it like another decoration element in the room, like the way this one is picking up the orange in the throw pillows makes the pillows look better, rather than a random rug on carpet.
>will now always wonder what stains are hiding under other people's rugs.
>>8980423
I ordered some from a supply place. They won't sell you things you can use to cook meth in unless you can prove you're from an educational institution, but conical flasks and test tubes were fine.
>>8982324
I would find it useless to get some of these. Cleaning would be a pain. Sometimes I think silk flowers look better with the occasional real flowers because all you have to do is dust them and they look good all the time.
>>8979051
>>8982299
Where I live, most houses still have wooden or tiled floors. that's why I've never seen it irl and have zero clue about how to place one. It'd have to be bigger than your pic related because the stains are so spread out, I'm going to have to see how much I can cover with the bed.
>>8982223
It's a rental, so I can't. And anyway, floating floorboards would still leave an imprint on cork tiles. I can't even put my exercise bike on them.
>>8978118
Eh that's a pretty average price for a normal bedspread, and this is way cooler.
>>8982505
I mean it's just the duvet cover though; it's not an actual comforter. It's about as thin as two standard bedsheets and you have to get the duvet separately. To me it's still worth it but I still think the price is a bit steep.
>>8975550
I have the same kind of bed but still don't find proper canopy veils, where did you get yours ?
It's not exactly what I have in mind but it's pretty close and I'm bored of my bed without any veils.
I'm in the local Target. I think they are onto you guys cause there is a very cute bed collection I would SO be into if I was under 25.
>>8982940
Google is your friend. Then you can look up tutorials on how to age them and reseal them yourself.

Rug-on-carpet is fairly normal. It breaks up the monotony of a single-color carpet and protects the carpet from stains and foot traffic wear. Pic related, I have multiple rugs in my bedroom.
>>8983674
Your bedroom is super cute, anon! I'm looking for inspiration right now. The carpet is sort of a frosted green colour, it's very nice, but I don't want to be throwing around too much colour, i was thinking of maybe just a nice brown to go with a 'woodland' sort of theme since I don't want to overdo it.
I really love your bedside table, it looks so cute!
>>8983701
Thanks! It's apparently from a children's furniture set that was sold at JC Penney throughout the late 80's/early 90's, I occasionally find matching pieces at Goodwill and St. Vinny's. I have yet to buy any of them because they aren't adult-sized, but I've been tempted.
>>8983674
>everything is super cute
>except that trash can
Make the trash can cute too please. It'd be perfect if it was pink or like a basket or something.

honest opinion on this anons
is it cute or not? honestly I can't tell it just seems too cluttered to me and there is too much going on
not the poster and no hard feelings to the poster, thanks for contributing, just sayin
>>8985638
>cute AND has an Aga
dreams do come true
>>8985757
I'd say it's cute, but I'm biased because I like rooms that feel a little higgledy piggledy. I hate actual mess and dirt, but a little clutter is comforting and makes a room feel less sterile.
>>8985757
Looks cluttered to me too anon.
>>8985638
Ew. All I can think of is the dust the plushies and clutter would collect, right over the cooking area... Not to mention the grease and smells
Anyone have any cute studio inspo? I'm looking at a place that's 300 square feet but the price is actually decent.
>>8985990
yes and it's such a shame because aesthetically it is so cool
>>8986954
>>8986992
Any gothic sewing corner ideas? I have a corner of my room to sew in and my previous sewing table/desk has bitten the dust, and I would like it to match the general aesthetic of the rest of my room.
>>8988448
I must say that Ikea's UNG DRILL seems to be popular here.
>>8985757
For a kitchen, I think it is way too cluttered and impractical. Withing a few weeks (if you acutally use the kitchen) it will be covered in grease, dust and smells. Gross.
So if you want to clutter your kitchen, especially with plushies and shit like that, use a glass cabinet. Otherwise, don't put it right next to the place where you prepare food,
>>8981378
I prefer goth and dark shit but honestly, I would love this.
>>8990051
Thanks for the suggestion - I'm not sure about a mirror in my sewing corner and we don't have an Ikea here, but I'm pretty sure others will find that useful!
>>8990051
>>8990665
Well, if you search amazon. You can find ikea brand products.
Monoinside has a couple that are the same style but not in black. They're actually cheaper then buying the black one from ikea. So technically somebody could buy one of those and just paint it black if they want the black frame instead.
>>8990672
>does not ship to your country
Fml. Time to Frankenstein with a frame and an oval mirror
>>8990788
Really? What country do you live in? Do you have any friends who could help you out? Or maybe look into some kind of shopping service?
Now that I think of it. Have you tried searching taobao or alibaba? They may have something similar or in your taste.
Would love some advice for my room. My room is pretty tiny and I have a lot of crap (hence the bookshelf shoved to the side like that). Also sorry for the shit phone pictures.
>>8991163
>miku, madoka, jojo, luffy
>print by an artist I admire
>yowapeda jacket in closet?
>settlers of catan
>vader sheets
anon you have A++ taste and your room is already cute as hell.
>>8991163
The only thing I can think of to improve would be some color. I feel like the room's a bit washed out from the plain furniture and wall colors. Can you paint? Add something cute like string lights/flowers? Lace or some sheer fabric somewhere? A prettier/more vibrant bedspread?
>>8991163
It seems good to me anon.
Maybe just let some natural light in?
Also,
>neutral milk hotel
Good taste.
![siegel[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/KlfVfUf.png "siegel[1].png")
>>8988448
I guess the most obvious thing is to get a sewing table and storage boxes/shelf in the colour that matches the rest of your room.
If you have a dress form, maybe consider making a dress form cover, like pic related, but with your choice of fabric with gothic motifs. If you can get ahold of one of those skeleton dresses and modify that into a dress form cover I think that's pretty cute.
![HTB1D67gHpXXXXabXXXXq6xXFXXXB[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/bEBeNVL.jpg "HTB1D67gHpXXXXabXXXXq6xXFXXXB[1].jpg")
>>8991201
You could get some novelty jars or containers like these to store your buttons and notions in as well. Just make sure the jar works for you, eg- clear jars so you can see what's inside, or there's a space for you to label them easily.
![il_570xN.719869921_dqmm[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/mv2DJuK.jpg "il_570xN.719869921_dqmm[1].jpg")
>>8991207
For storage, I'd stay away from funny shapes that don't stack well as they'll take up more space, but you can always wrap them in nicer paper or fabric, decoupage them or paint them to fit your aesthetic.
Strange request but does anyone have some cute rooms that also include fishtanks? I'm a fish fanatic and have several fish tanks in my room but the green kinda clashes with my pink walls so I'm looking for some inspo to somehow make it look more cohesive.

>frame your posters
>new comforter cover that matches the cute style of the room

>maybe some flower fairy lights on your full length mirror to dress it up a little
Do you have any Windows here, anon?
I'm cleaning up my bedroom for the first time since I was about 13, and with that comes tearing down posters, cleaning, buying furniture, painting, etc.
After taking down all my posters, I've realized how much they "clutter" a room, but I still have a good few I like a lot and want to put back up when I'm finished. Is there a method to putting posters up that doesn't make a room look smaller/more busy?
>>8981378
This is so fucking cute.
>>8981455
I have the same problem, I have too much fucking stuff. Some things I've bought recently to deal with having limited space include:
-Small shoe rack to go in closet
-Over the door coat hanger (this is also good for purses and kigus since it's so high up)
-Closet shelving that hangs from the rack, I use mine to store accessories like gloves, hats, scarves, bags, and belts.
I know a lot of people also display their favorites dresses on their walls and I think that's super cute.
>>8982923
I saw this set last time I went to target to buy from storage things and almost bought some of this set. It's too cute.
>>8992011
Holy mother of goals.
>>8992189
Seconded. I would love a tidy way to display mine as well, where they can be removed and loved easily, and hopefully not gather as much dust.
>>8992328
>putting posters up that doesn't make a room look smaller/more busy?
1.You have to choose a few depending on size of course. It can be anywhere from 3-7 posters.
2.Frame them. Walmart has some nice simple poster frames for cheap
3.Group them like art on one wall. Spreading them out tends to look cluttered. One section of them looks planned and artistic.
>>8992925

This reminds me, does anyone have that picture that was posted in one of the old threads, it was a shitty looking room and it looked like it was in a basement of some sort, dark, with a towel laid out and a single television? And then a framed picture of some guy as the only decoration? I'd like to see that again, it was pretty funny from what I can remember.

Oh man you're totally right. Ive been so worried that it was too colourful i never even considered that. I can't paint but I'll definitely look into some fairy lights. I was thinking about hanging polaroids on a string along the roof border with mini clothespins.

How's the vanity and desk? I've been eying both from ikea but haven't been able to decide.
>>8992189
I don't have a shitton, but I keep mine in wicker baskets because my room's theme is shabby chic
Has anybody had good luck buying bed sets off of aliexpress?
>>8991163
I know this doesn't help with what you have, but for future buying, I generally get postcard sized prints from AAs and I put them in cool vintage looking frames that get from Pier 1 or something and hang them on my wall that way. You definitely need some color, so I suggest getting cheapo wooden frames and spray painting them a spring green and some a light pretty pink. Whatever cute colors you want.
For your bookshelf, contact paper on the back part of the shelf for more color to pop. Match the frames! Same can be done to the back of your desk and you can just repin up those pictures. That way your furniture still matches!
As much as I like Star Wars, I agree with the bedding. You can get some cheap girly bedding at Target, just look up shabby chic bedding. For you seat, get a patterned chair cushion!
And for your figures, you could get a wall shelf or two and mount them on your wall, and display your figures on that. That way you're not crowding your furniture. I knock mine down trying to reach stuff too much that I found it is best to give them their own display area. Once you organize your posters you can easily fit a shelf on a wall.
>>8993141
I feel like I've seen photo from a set that was taken of poor living conditions in Hong Kong or something.
>>8994031
Not too far off from what the artist who originally created them said.
I just thought it was a interesting idea, since it does keep the dust off them. Maybe use bigger jars and skip the distilled water "embalming fluid", though.
What kind of material is this bedding made out of? I really want to try and make this comforter at home. Also, if I can only find that material in white- what would be the best way to go about dying it?
>>8994099
Welp. I feel silly.
Still going to try and make it
>>8994098
This is not worth the $800 it is asking for. Don't bother buying it.
>>8994098
That looks like cuddle fleece. Joanns calls it "ultra fluffy fabric" http://www.joann.com/ultra-fluffy-fabric/xprd769038.html
>>8990051
>>8990672
There's also a very similar mirror available at Walmart right now for around the same price, Better Homes and Gardens brand. I picked one up a while ago and painted it gold for my sewing room. The frame is plastic and feels kind of cheap while you're holding it, but once it goes on the wall it doesn't matter too much.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-Baroque-Oval-Wall-Mirror/34723429
>>8994121
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the help
>>8994127
Yeah, being light would be nice. I have a very heavy antique mirror like that and it was almost impossible for me to get it down, the wire on the back broke from me taking it down. I had been afraid when putting it up that it would fall and put three screws in a triangle shape to prevent that
>>8994008
Ngl, I kinda want some of the people keen on the antique medical theme to do this with Giant Microbes.
>>8989866
Any idea of where can I get this? I need them on my life
>>8994463
I believe those specific ones are by the goth/rockabilly brand Sourpuss.
http://www.sourpussclothing.com/sourpuss-anatomical-heart-pillow.html
http://www.sourpussclothing.com/sourpuss-anatomical-ribcage-pillow.html
>>8990665
They also sell it as a frame. I think in black as well.
>>8982923
Target honestly knows what's up with their room decor. Everytime I go I gave to resist the urges
>>8998171
I feel sad.
>>8998851
>>8998853
>>8998854
>>8998857
I think it's a good idea but poorly executed, it looks really cheap and gaudy in a bad way
>>8979152
I have that same quilt lol.
>>8999056
I was thinking of saying that last night, but I was too lazy to do it.
>>8999056
Agreed. If they ditched all that paper for something a bit nicer it'd look way better. All the mushroom drawings and such would also probably look nicer on paper that's more pastel and not hot pink.
>>8998171
This is where the magic happens.
>>9000916
Yeah. I think if the books were light pink instead of hot pink, and switched the hot pink paper items for Patel colors, it'd be easier on the eyes. Or even just a couple things hot pink and the rest more subtle colors.
Anyone have any cute planters? I have pretty much the least-cute plant, a venus flytrap, in my bedroom, and I want to kawaii it up somehow. Most of the cute shit I've found, though, is slightly too small.
>>9000988
That zebra floor skin kills it. Everything else is SWANK
>>9000931
What magic?
>>9000988
This is so damn ugly. Everything. Everything little thing. Velvet is so tacky.
>>9001272
I'd leave it in its actual planter and find a cute box or bowl to put that in. That way you have more cute options rather than being restricted to planters
Have any of you weebs built a kotatsu yet?
>>9002265
There's a few people who've posted about using a space heater/duvet/ikea coffee table.
>>9002635
space heater + duvet = giant fucking fire hazard please don't do it
>>8991163
Holy shit, anon, are you me? We both have almost the exact same setup, and the same furniture. I just didn't get that bed and instead got a trundle bed, lmao.
>>9002069
In the end, I decided to go with a clear plastic 1 gal terrarium that I'm going to decorate and surround with cute things. Just need to figure out how.
>tfw when Ill be moving soon
>tfw itll be my first apartment
>tfw I have the intense need to decorate
I have never been able to decorate my own room before, mainly because I grew up living on base and you couldnt do shit to the rooms without them wanting to boot you out of housing.
I've always wanted a cute white/ivory and pale pink room set up but I have no idea where to even start.
Can I get tips and advice for setting up a room? Maybe if anyone knows other places for cheap furniture besides Ikea or ways to make Ikea furniture cuter?
>>9006217
If you ever plan on moving again save yourself and avoid ikea. I just moved in to my own place and almost every ikea piece I own (which is the majority of my stuff) practically fell apart while we were just wrapping shit up in blankets. Everything is so wobbly and chips easily. Check thrift stores and learn to stain wood/paint instead!
Any classic lifestyler type room inspiration like pic related, or accessory storage inspo?
>>9006253
>>9006217
Agreed. It's not worth it. It's good if you're gonna be in awhile place for awhile, but if you are an apartment hopper, just buy decent furniture or only a few, small ikea things. All of my furniture is ikea, and I managed to move it but it's so wobbly and chipped. It's not meant to be taken apart and put back together, either, so if your movers will have issues getting in/out of your new place to your old place, it's not even worth it.
Sorry for the mini rant!
>>8991163
anon where did you get your vanity?? its so cute!!
>>8991163
I find it slightly unnerving that I think i now who you are just by looking at your room.
>>9001421
Don't be a fucking retard.
>>9007114
>>8979152
you have good taste in bands anon
>>8982299
rugs on carpet is definitely a thing, I'm renting a duplex and the carpet is ancient & shit brown. I can't make it work with anything for decorating, so I'm getting rugs.
>>8979152
This is just me, but I would recommend taking down the posters and moving the loli picture frame above the bed where the red poster is. The colour scheme of those posters really clash with your room theme, which is otherwise really cute.
Also, maybe a long valance sheet for the bed?
>>9006165
Maybe cute stickers on the corners, and I'll just put it next to a figure of My Melody.
>>9007344
Thanks, anon!
>>9008017
Thanks for the advice anon, I was definitely thinking of rearranging my posters now that I've got frames for them. I think I'll move my angelic pretty print to be above my bed, and the rest of my posters to be on the side wall instead !
Oh and totally about the bedskirt! Have on coming in the mail now. Ngl, I'm not sure if I wanna keep my mattress or get a daybed from ikea to save on room, since it's just me in here.
Does anyone else have daybeds, and what do you think about them?
>>9010805
How much room are you really going to save? If you just want storage space, can you fit some cute storage boxes under your bed?
>>9010896
I have some storage under my bed already, which is great ! Mostly, I'd like to have a larger floor space. I have an easel in my room so that takes up a good amount of space, and adding that with my dresser, desk, nightstand.. I just feel cramped, but maybe I'd feel even more cramped (sleep wise) if I didn't have my bed ? Decisions, decisions.
Thanks for reminding me to go to Michaels to check out their cute storage boxes again, though.
>>9010940
I guess you could always loft your bed and create a workspace underneath for the best of both worlds?
>>9010805
Kills me that those side tables aren't even with each other and it isn't just the perspective.
>>8974985
the floor is ugly. The rest is okay.
>>8994010
Another word for this glass covering is cloche. Not trying to be snarky, just trying to give another search term so people can find them.
>>8985990
In a kitchen its weird since it would get dusty/greasy.
But open shelves that I have that I display things on, I regularly dust. Its called taking care of your shit
Anyone trying to do kawaii on a budget? I'm doing my best, but the floor is too dark, and my furniture is mismatched.
What would /cgl/ do about it? I'm thinking a rug near the bed, and a handmade table runner on the most off-puttingly different piece of furniture.
>>9020025
View from another side. Sorry for the weird angle, just turned my webcam to take the pic.
>>9020025
I love that you have an aquarium! I wonder if in your budget you could find a way to incorporate some kawaii-ness into your tank? (I can't tell from the photo if your plants are real or not...) but if you wanted to include some pink/purple plastic plants, perhaps some colorful stones or decorations, or incorporate window clings or even draw cute things on the glass with car window pens (I've drawn funny little word bubbles on my fishtank, and so did a bubble tea café in my town). I don't know if this would help or not, but I thought it could be fun to incorporate what seems to be a passion of yours with your chosen aesthetic.
I like your plan of adding a rug, and table runner, perhaps look into changing drawer pulls of your furniture to unite them in that way? There are lots of ideas to do that on a budget on Pinterest (and even like American Girl craft books.)
If you felt inclined, you could craft a simple gathered curtain in a cute pattern to drape from the top of your 9X9 cubby to add more color - like image attached.
I hope these suggestions help a bit. Good luck!
>>9020025
I have a dark floor. Paint your furniture white/cream, it'll bring the room together and stand out from the dark wood floor. The thing that makes the dark floor look bad currently is the other types of wood in the room
>>9020027
Just saw other pic, I'm >>9024033
Most of your furniture looks to be white/cream already so I would paint your bed side cabinet in a shade that matches the other furniture, also the fishtank stand if you can.
Also if you can find nicer coloured boxes for those box shelves or even cover the fronts on them that would make them pop a lot more. I've seen people use floral fabrics on those boxes, they give a fresh and cute feeling.
>>9022805
Thanks! The plants are all real. I want to keep the inside of the tank serious and natural-looking, but I'm cool with adding some decor to the outside of it. Window pens are a great idea!
>>9024039
I'll be on the lookout for cuter boxes for the cubby. Maybe pink or light purple. Unfortunately, the furniture's antique, and family members would throw a shit-fit if I painted it. So it might be better if I cover it.
>>9024574
Cute fabric to cover the furniture sounds like it's your best bet then!
I posted here awhile ago, I'm finally becoming happy with my craft room! Before, all my stuff was in plastic bins and scattered around the house in any storage space I could find. I was also working on picnic tables. Now all my stuff is in one room and it's so much nicer. The furniture is mismatched but it's cozy.
>>9027480
Woah! That's super! Nice job anon!
>>9027480
Woah, that's really cute! And still super practical.
>>9027480
Nice! I can only dream of such an awesome setup, but hopefully I'll be able to post my crafting/sewing corner in the next few weeks.
>>9002265
>tfw you own an authentic kotatsu
During the winter I'll find random family members that got sucked it's warm clutches.
I'm probably going to post pics of my room soon. I need a new bedding set and I'm eyeing a set from betsey johnson.
>>9031418
Either go hospital white sheets and blankets, or one of the duvet covers with a medical equipment/anatomy print. Hospital white is subtler but only works if you have a bedframe that looks like a hospital bed (and possibly the over-bed table on wheels)
>>9031519
thanks! the one thing I worry about is staining white sheets, do you think a light colored/neutral pattern would be okay?
>>9031564
A lot of vintage medical aesthetic stuff is sepia/beige tones for that "antique" look anyway so I'm sure that would work too
>>9031686
cool, thank you for the help!
>>9002265
I'm working on one. Got the heater from rakuten and I now I just need to buy a transformer. I'd take a picture, but I'm not done painting it. I can't figure out what color I want the legs...
I just want a cute sewing corner that will hold all my stuff...unfortunately rental = no way to wall mount storage.
>>8993979
Very smart. Good job anon.
Thank goodness for unobservant boyfriends/husbands
>>8982923
I'm 25 and i wish to have a similar bed in my tiny room, but it's modern with acid green furniture (sigh, what i was thinking when i was a teen?) and i cannot change the furniture because it should be made custom because the ceiling it's like an attic, thanks mom, custom furniture could be very expensive. I should wait when i can move out alone in a apartment.
>>8985661
Dream kitchen, i don't even love to cook but i would love to have a pastel themed kitchen like this.
>move in with boyfriend
>he likes cute pink things
>bought us a shabby chic floral comforter for our bed
>fuck yeah
I used to do image dumps in these threads a lot, finally living the dream. That said, dumping images.

Congrats anon on living the dream and having such a good boyfriend!
>>9037641
Thank you!

sauce on semen spill rug?
>>9037821
>>9037825
Not OP but that looks like a sheepskin rug to me
>>9037874
They sell them at IKEA
>>8979049
please tell me about that branch. is it plastic? real and spraypainted? i need something to store my jewelryy
>>9038300
Hard to tell. It'd probably be easy enough to find a branch, dry it out, and spray paint it black or whatever color you want.
>>9038300
If you want a branch jewellery stand they're not too difficult to find online...
>>9027480
In the same vein as this anon, I'm moving into a new apartment next month and I need organization help for all my craft stuff. I've been living the bin life for years, but I will finally have a room dedicated to it and don't know the proper way to go about organizing all my stuff to actually help with my flow and keep me organized because it's easy.
>>9042707
Don't rush your craft room! I'd start with getting the right workspace - do you like to spread out? Work in a small area with good lighting? You want to have your craft stuff on a table, not on the floor so whether that means you need something like a fold-out sewing/cutting table, L-shaped arrangement or can make do with a single trestle table along one wall will depend on your working style.
The second thing is storage - don't be scared to go for shelves or cabinets that are floor to ceiling, and use smaller shelving or storage inside for little things. Things like peg boards and wall storage if you'have the option (for things like thread, small notions, beads etc that get used a lot)
If you're an out of sight out of mind hoarder then maybe having everything available, accessible and on display is important - so look for shelves rather than cabinets.
Overall the principle is: sort yourself out a good work space, make sure you can easily get to the things you use a lot, and make sure you have more than enough space for all of your shit.
Dumping random stuff in my folder. I know a some doesn't match but I generally like the aesthetic or components of a lot of these rooms.
I'm not sure what kind of baroque this is. Its sort of French revival + fem + gothic. Reminds me of the type of stuff Sugar Sugar Rune which I have always loved the shit out of aesthetically.
