Design...on dimes, nickels and quarters :)

previously, i mentioned some products or things i was dying over right now. in truth- i didn't list them all...there could have been loads more because i've been pretty interested in redecorating my bedroom. honestly, my roomie and i want to rent a house but there aren't any in safer neighborhoods that are compatible with either one of our budgets (pesky student loans!) so we are stationary for the time being. so, since i can't relocate-abroad or locally-i have decided to freshen up my personal space....
"no big deal." thats probably what you are thinking...but the truth is...its a huge deal. the problem? i.frickin'.can't.decide.on.anything. i love too many different styles it will look like i'm my room has been decorated by my grandmother and my 11yr old neice :)

i mentioned in my last post that i have been reading a decorating blog. holly, is an american replanted on german soil-who seems to be sprouting nicely. she has had this whole journey of preparing to move, moving and then setting up home in germany. i love alot of her design taste but she is a bit too modern for me...there at least i can rule out "modern" from my design choices. aside from not being into her modern pieces, i appreciate her tortured approach (she can't decide on anything, is thrifty etc...) to making her space home and i like how she just doesn't pick whatever is around, she puts alot of thought and care into her selections and over all feel of her rooms. she is thoughtful about how she wants the room to be, how she wants people to feel in it and most importantly-how it will function. she works from home so it can't be a space that can't be "lived in."

so back to me :) i've been thinking, long before i met holly's blog, that i would like to redo my room. but what do i choose? if you don't know me, i'm easily overwhelmed by choices and will often times just pick something-only to regret it later! i've been checking out her blog, ikea and some other sites and here are some things i like that seem to be in the same family:




but i also enjoy this:





this sort of story board appeals to me. the soft, romanticism of it:


~ i think those are so cute
how cute is this guy? i want him so bad! i'd make tea all the time!
finally...this drives me insane! there is too much going on!:
thats just a few (yeah, right!) things i am loving right now. i also enjoy black furniture and think its so chic but i feel strongly drawn toward softer, sweeter colors...hmm...decisions...decisons!
what about you? what is your design style?
