Question Posted Saturday September 19 2009, 10:12 pm
I really want to make my room more "me", but I don't really know where to start. I don't like a single thing in it. I'm all about peace, so I want my room to somehow reflect that. I was going to paint the walls green or blue. I was thinking of putting up a bunch of posters too, but I'm not sure where I'd find them. I have carpet so I can't really get any rugs or anything. I don't know. What all can I do to make it more personal?

You could still get an accent rug, just get one of those anti slip mat things to put underneath.
Pictures, mirrors, and posters really help. Plus they aren't permanent besides a tiny hole in the wall =) You can find them anywhere, but craft stores like Michael's or AC Moore will have a lot of cheap prints. Good luck!

I think white would look good. It'd be really calming so the peace signs wouldn't take over the room. PBTeen has a lot of organic bedding too but I know Delia's has peace sign bedding. As far as posters go, maybe target? If not I got a poster from a company called DormCentral? I think. And they had a lot of them. Maybe paint the ceiling a light blue?
