I'm trying to use what I have rather than buy a bunch of stuff. I'm think I need to find a lamp though. I'm not sure I like the corner so bare. What do you guys think?
Much better! Can you fold the quilt so it goes lengthwise instead of widthwise? Can you move the lamp on the right over and behind the end table on the left. That'd solve your lack of height problem for sure.

I'll try the quilt the other direction. It's a funky size because I made it so its in between a queen and king. I don't have any more pillow shams though. And right now that bed has purple sheets lol

Wait I just thought are you talking the big quilt or the little one at the foot?

Ah, thanks. Moving the hats was a good idea.
I think unless this is a boy's room, that you should do a couple things. Scrap the quilts you are using (green ones) and use the cream-colored duvet and then fold the bold strip quilt from the before picture across the bottom of the cream-colored duvet. Also, I might move the college ring picture to the side wall and then put the sconces that you had originally on the bed wall along with a mirror inbetween (do you have one on hand you could repurpose?). Then if you have a solid, bright throw pillow on the bed (like a couple couch pillows).
That tall lamp seems out of place in the after picture, so like someone else suggested maybe move the shorter lamp out and try to wedge that in the corner behind the bedside table.
Oh and I'm guessing you can't move the bed's headboard to the wall on the left, can you?

Ok so we are going for a sports theme because this is where dhs stuff is and we don't have a man cave and I can't just ask him to box it up. So instead of fighting like I was we are making this room a sports room. Its a mutli function room anyways. The green quilt isn't going anywhere its very special to us it's handmade. Also the scrappy quilt is the beige "duvet" you are referring to just flipped over. Also that isn't a college ring picture is a royals autographed World Series ring picture so it's not coming down just to be stored.
Can we see the other side of the room? I think I remember there was a bookshelf over there, right? What other memorabilia items do you have to work with? I'm feeling like the wall is a little bare next to the autographed rings picture. Where did you wind up putting the hats?

I moved the hats into the "coat" closet and yes there is a tall bookshelf and short bookcase I'm working on reorganizing them right now. I told DH to pull out his other autographs tonight. We might hang his baseball cards up beside the rings. It hang vertical.

Here are a few more before pictures I moved the diplomas to where the live laugh love is and we are working on decluttering the bookcases so I boxed up all my school note binders. DH was going to go through his autographs to find some more to hang up. I tried to get him to take down the family photos and he said no so they are staying for now.
