A New Year = A New Room!

Well, it has been a very exciting last couple of days as I sat here planning a re-design of my bedroom. So with the arrival of 2010, I figured, what better way to welcome the new and exciting events of this year than with newly renovated sleeping quarters!

And it couldn't have come at a better time since lately, my room has been acting as a giant storage closet. So now the problem at hand: decluttering my room while trying to solve major storage issues.

Over the last couple of days, I've come across numerous websites and diy blogs that have inspired me to finally tackle this design project. It is so amazing to see so much creativity and talent out there!

Okay, lets get started.
