So, it has been a long laborous journey thus far in attempting to make my room look somewhat cool. When it began I had the most broke carpeting and walls you could imagine. There were stains everywhere and the carpet didn't even make it to the moulding. There were gaps where you could see down past the floorboards and in between the walls and the floor. Sadly I have no pictures of this, but I assure it was mad classy.
I began by replacing the carpet with a lush stain resistant product listed as being the colour "Pompador". I use the u in colour because a color like "Pompador" is so freaking stylish it deserves the u. The walls, which previously looked like someone damped and smeared newspapers all over them, were repainted in a dark grey. I believe it was some derivative of "Slate".

[I'd say it looks less nerdy irl, but after typing irl in a sentence who'd believe me?]
[This piece of furniture was given to me by my parents when we moved to our new house. I was in 2nd Grade... I kid you not. ]

So the next step is for me to add photos of some of the items I am thinking about purchasing for my room. Then I will start sharing this blog with people whose opinion I value *cough* so that they can advise me on what they think will make this room look less like the abode of tech's uber-geek. I realize it's an uphill battle, but I thank you for your comments and assistance in advance.
