Pictures of my Room!
Friday, May. 28, 2004 at 4:47 PM


Well, me and Kelly painted my room a week-and-a-half ago! It was just in time for my parents to see a wonderfully decorated room filled with objects from their house as well as both sets of parents (and even a few from my father's grandmother).

Here's a few in process photos:

The tableau.

What a friend!

I made Kelly leave the last little bit for me to do.

The rest of the pictures I took this morning. Some things are a little cluttered, but it's mostly exactly how I want it!

This is my bed, complete with two faux-fur pillows, a velvet pillow, and a red, satin with a picture of a 50s-style bra and the phrase "she was ready for anything." That's a tatami mat hanging on the wall as a surrogate headboard and there's a better picture of the poster here.

I built the table here from two plastic milk crates and the tray from inside the metal trunk which sits under my window. Over that I put an old, leopard-print blanket that's a remnant from my grandpa Teddy's old coat-making factory in the garment district in New York. The dry-erase board is attached to the wall with velcro so I can take it off to write on if I so choose.

This is the top of my bookshelves. The lamp was my mother's, the "head" is a hatblock that my great-grandmother Bessie used in Russia, covered with a pillbox hat I bought at a vintage store and a leather mask my Mom bought me. The pointy thing is the end of an antique umbrella which I think came from my grandma Mona.

This is the top of my messy, techline dresser. Mirror by Target, candle snuffer on the wall by Party Lights (what a fucking scam), candles, jewelry and Gabrielle doll ala Xena: Warrior Princess. I had a big crush on Gabrielle in High School, I think because I was jealous of her long hair. Not to mention big tits.

Close-up where you can see my incense cauldron and straw-dispense with sticks in it.

Back to where we started! My end table really got my parents feeling nostalgic since the lamp was my grandma Clara's, the shawl I used to cover up my under-bed-drawers-come-end table was my grandma Mona's, and I didn't realize until they told me, but that wooden book holder was a wedding gift to my parents. The leopard print tissue box cover? All me baby! I saw one on House of Style in High School and had to have one.

I'm listening to my Sex and the City mix-CD
I'm reading nothing, finished that biography
I want for my studying for the History midterm to go smoothly
