Yesterday I showed some photos of my newly organized and "designed" bedroom (see previous layout.) Today you get to enjoy some detail shots, exciting, right!? If you want to know what something is/where I got it ask in the comments! Figure that's easier than me listing everything in all the photos, who wants to read all of that?
Update: Everyone loves the plate my jewelry is on, so I'll share where it's from: MARSHALLS! (obviously.) I can't remember the brand but you'll be able to find something similar.

It's been just over a year since I last shared photos of my room [see here]. Since then things have changed a lot. I changed my bed to a loft bed so I could get more storage, so the room looks a little more cramped and less airy but there is a lot more space. Tomorrow I'll share some detail shots since I took too many pictures.
To maximize the space in my tiny (barely 9x8ft) room I use a lot of storage units. My bed is lofted with shelving and, rather than making the second bed that came with the set (to go underneath), I put my shoe bookshelf and cute cabinet I scored at Marshalls to get even more space. Then I have my other large shelving unit (IKEA), small green dresser (from Home Goods) and larger dresser - it's actually a baby changing table, the top folds down, but I use it as two shelves to get more surface area.
We also took the doors off my closet and use a curtain as a separator to avoid needing to open doors, which take up a lot of room. It's all about using every bit of floor and wall space when you have a small room. If I had the money/wasn't lazy I would install a pocket door so I don't have to worry about swing room for the door.

This is how you'll find me on most of my days off, sitting on the couch with my Mac watching TV (now accompanied by Layla.) I lead a very exciting life, no? These photos are from Friday, I had the day off and spent my morning watching tv (Gilmore Girls for those of you who can tell from the screenshot.) It was an icky, rainy morning so I didn't really feel like going anywhere. After that I headed to my parents house and my mom, dad and I had tons of junk food for dinner. Fried shrimp, french fries, biscuits, milkshakes! And then brownies for dessert...yummm!
As you can see I go with very comfortable outfits, if I get dressed at all (which I obviously did this day.) What do you usually do/wear on your off days?
Sweater: Madewell (Shopbop), Pants: Maison Scotch c/o Aritzia and Lucky

Last Monday I showed you my new backyard so I thought it was only fitting to show you my new bedroom today! I had to combine two rooms because, if you remember, at my old house I had a bedroom and a closet room. Fortunately, my bedroom just had my bed, a small shelving unit and a green dresser. The room is half Harry Potter, half fashion which is very fitting because they are my two obsessions. Sadly only a small fraction of my Potter collection is on display, I have BOXES full of stuff for when I have my own place and can show them all proudly
