What does your room look like?

My room is a converted sun room. When you walk in, you face a wall with five large windows. I’ve removed the center window and replaced it with stained glass; the other four windows are plain with pale green curtains. The ceiling is a mural of space I finished around a month ago (depicting quasars, the Milky Way, random stars, etc on a black/dark blue background) while the walls are a muted shade of purple. My bed is on the ground with green sheets and blanket. Above it hangs a dreamcatcher I bought from the very charming gift shop at Cherokee when I dropped my grandma off.

The wall with the doorway is completely dominated with two bookcases I bought at a yard sale for $20. Old, mahogany. They have four shelves, the bottom fully lined with three rows of CDs and the rest with books. The wall opposite my bed has a very cool desk (old, mahogany) on which reside my laptop, a hand-painted lamp, and various textbooks. At my desk, I have a wicker chair on wheels. Beside the desk directly opposite my nightstand is a humongous chair/love seat monstrosity with the tackiest floral pattern one could ever imagine.

Then you have my short little dresser containing some of my clothes, located just below the windows. On top of it is my sea glass collection, riffraff pens that aren’t good enough for the desk, a TV, and a small mirror. On the hard wood floor is my 360, and stacked on top of that is Fallout 3, the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and COD: MW2. My closet is in the hallway.

I have a few small posters, including Stargate SG-1, The Office, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, MacGyver, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Arrested Development.

Oh, and seriously, everyone should make use of yard sales and eBay. I got most of my stuff from those places and have probably spent less than $300 total on my room.
