Headboards

Headboards...headboards...headboards......

For some time now I've been trying to find the perfect one but have had absolutely no luck. I really want one with a wrought iron feel to it, like these:

Actually, the second one is from Ikea and it's been at the top of my list for a while. Plus- it's only $89 for a full sized one. The only problem I have with it is the size; it's a little bit too wide to fit where my bed is currently placed (in between two windows). But hey- I just might try anyways. I think it might be fine sitting a couple of inches away from the wall...

Well that's all for now. I've been working on my room and so far I've got my bookcases, desk, and dresser reorganized and dusted! Then tomorrow I'm working on painting a little set of drawers which I will post about!

My Tween Bedroom

Hello Readers!

When I was 11, my sister was off to college and I got her old room. I was very excited because I was moving out of my teeny tiny bedroom and getting a large room I could make my own. With the design help from my mom and muscle from my dad, we painted and put the room together in one day! These are some pictures taken a while after:

The pictures aren't the best quality in the world but they work, right? Plus, this is just one room layout compared to about 5 others- I moved my stuff around constantly.

But since then, I've gotten older and my style has completely changed (remember- I was 11). A while ago I got completely hooked on HGTV and interior design again and decided that it was time for my room to change (again). This time I decided to stick to one color palette and make it a soothing/chic room that I can keep throughout high school.

My room is currently a mess and I'm still working on some finishing touches so I don't have any current pictures. But once I do I will definitely post the after pictures of my bedroom

Thanks for reading!

The Young Dreamer; the prologue

(a few of my pillows and main colors in my room)

Hello! My name is Rachel and this is my blog titled "The Young Dreamer." My main purpose for opening a blog like this is to express myself and my biggest passion: interior design. Ever since I was little I've wanted to work in the interior design business (hence the name "the young dreamer"). I'm always changing my room constantly, thinking of my dream house, and watching home design shows when I can. When I first got into reading blogs that people have created to display their home and their inspiration, I was ecstatic and decided that I should join in on the fun. So this blog is just my way of letting all of the thoughts that have gathered up in my head free.

And yes, I'm only a teenager, but I feel like interior design has always been dear to my heart. Ugh, I sound cliche, but I'm just trying to let out the things that have been boggling my mind.

I'm also going to post things about art, fashion, and music, and let you in on some of the things that will be going on in my life (mainly school-boring, I know). Although I do love interior design, I think there's room for more.

Well, I think that's about it. If you have read this, I appreciate your time. I will definitely be posting more soon!

Thank you!
