I kind of want to repaint my room at my parents house... but it hardly seems worth the effort at this point. Maybe new bedding would make it better. Right now, we have my sister's old bedding on the bed and it's very dark, earthy tones... I think I want something brighter, more cheerful... This maybe a good use for some of the extra money I'm getting from work? I don't want to spend a million bucks on it, but something new and MINE would be nice.
this is a great idea! Target is pretty inexpensive and always has bright and cheery bedding. Plus everyone is having sales on bedding right now.

What color are your walls? I volunteer to help you shop.
I don't know, Mags! Don't yell at me! We might move to another city. We might just leave our apartment. We might not move, but we are leaning hard enough towards moving that there is absolutely no point in making an effort to improve someone else's house- not that I would ever go any further than painting or installing shelves anyhow.

They're kind of a strange green color... I don't even know what to call it...
I did see some pretty bedding on sale the other day, it was mostly white with a black and bright yellow floral design. I think that would do a lot to brighten up the room... The nice thing is, as partiallysunny pointed out, everyone has their bedding stuff on sale right now since its "back to school" season.
Starries, some awesome pillows would help. You could get a white comforter and go nuts with pillows and sheets. Easy to switch if you don't like it or get bored.

Thanks everyone! Boyfriend picked out the color and I was initially skeptical but I've ended up really happy with it.
mags - I love the idea of a steel blue. I want to see what you pick! tiramisu - I might break into your office and steal your mug. You've been warned. starrieskies - Do black and white, you can change the accent so easily and it is so much cheaper! I think that floral one says.. guest room...

Muddled, probably 6 months or so. I want to get through the craziness of the holiday season before moving. This year, I'm sure will be interesting.
gault, I don't want to do all white just for the fact that I have a 4 year old boy who loves all things dirty. But mostly white with a black design I can work with, I think. If I can find a relatively inexpensive one with matching shams, I'll be in business!
captainmel, I was thinking guest room too. Since I don't have one of those, it would be odd to purchase bedding for one. LOL
Muddled Move here! It's kind of a city. All of this could be yours!
They forgot to include the part where it is only possible to leave the house 5 months out of the year. lol
It's really more like 3. But really, you've had worse/more severe weather than us the last two years. We've slipped through all those hurricanes and big storms with barely a drop of precipitation.

starrieskies - here are my first two finds This one is actually navy and white but I love it. This one is so pretty but is mostly white. It feels like bedding owned by someone who doesn't need a man!
Confession: I am a little jealous you get to pick bedding just for you without another opinion to consider. I want everything to be pink and ruffled and Boyfriend is like... "you can get that bedding if you want me to sleep on the couch every night"... Your eyes are closed the whole time Boyfriend! How bad can it be?!?!

gault- I totally will! I have so much fun shopping for home stuff. mags - Boyfriend is totally right. I would also probably get bored with the pink fluff after a few weeks but I think it is that I know I can't buy it that makes me want it.
Also, the third IKEA one comes in plum and I might need it to go with my fall quilt. I think it is so pretty.
Starries, if your parents don't mind, make a room that makes you happy. Obviously, you can't take the paint with you when you leave, but this is worth it if you want it.
Motz, I almost said 3, but I thought you would say I was exaggerating. lol
