MAKEOVER PART 1

I have been looking for something to do in my very small bedroom here in the apartment. My room only measures 9.5 X 9.5. I think the first thing I really need to consider is downsizing. My bed is a queen size, so I am in the market for a double size mattress and boxspring ( the thick kind with pillow top if possible). I have already decided on the colors. My base paint is seafoam green from BHG (Walmart). I love it, it is just the right shade. The I will add some blues and browns. The headboard for the bed is in the lower post. I am going to have to turn my closet into much more than a closet for clothing. It is going to have to double as storage space for a lot of other things. Looking into trading my large dresser for a smaller version and maybe getting rid of my sewing center and combining that into my closet area. The closet runs the entire width of the back wall. Here are some before pics. I want the try and document everything as I go along.
Please don't pay any attention to the Christmas quilt on the bed. It was cold here last night. I am really looking forward to getting started. So watch for my posts and keep me in your prayers for a modicum of success.
