Moving Back Home

[stretch]

I'm Stretch, 25, from Illinois. I'm getting ready to graduate from law school in the spring, and take the bar in July. I've finally come to terms with the fact that I'll have to move home for a year after graduation, in order to save money. However, I came to the conclusion that if I was going to be moving back into my old bedroom, some changes

Congratulations on surviving law!

Oh absolutely, you are definitely in need of a grown up room! I love your colour choices, they are so restful.

I hope you won't need this room long as in, I hope your prized degree pays off.

Thanks dear! And I'm glad that's how those colors read. I was looking for a shade that would conquer that dreaded white anesthetic feeling, but I wanted it to be neutral enough that my parents wouldn't need to repaint it after I move out.

taking wallpaper down is god awful.

My God, it was horrific. My brother's room was worse, cause the people who lived in the house before us papered over existing paper, but my room was bad because it had more wall space. I felt like I was scraping paste of my fingernails for days!

Congratulations on passing law school! I took a Business Law class and I can understand that it wasn't easy at all. I loved it though. Even though I once loved the celestial theme as well, I've outgrown it and I agree that you need a more sophisticated space. go for a warm taupe color for the walls... that will provide you some great bones to work with :)

Heh, haven't passed it yet, but only one more semester to go! And thanks. The color really did come out great. I can't wait till I finish the room and can make the final reveal.
