Revamp

Today was extremely eventful and joyful for moi. My tiles were finally set this evening, and mom took me bedroom-shopping. First we went to The Castle, but I didn't find anything I liked. We didn't go to Midas coz basically I think they're crap. So off we went to Landmark or Center Point or whatever it's called (can't ever get it right) and I liked these:



I settled for something close. I'll show it off once it gets here. Oh and by the way The Criticizer, mom said she's been to Armani, near Hassan Abul in Shwaikh, and saw a gorgeous low, black lacquer bed. Go check it out, maybe it's what you're looking for.

On our way out of Shuwaikh, we saw this pet shop, and I remembered how Jacqui's been wanting a cat since like, forever. We stopped to take a look. It seems like a pretty clean and decent shop. The cages were clean too and the place didn't reek, and there was plenty of space in the cages for the cats to move about.






My new bedroom's supposed to arrive on Sunday, so since you guys know, or sort of have an idea of what style I've gone for, and I still haven't painted the walls, what colors do you recommend? And where should I put the bed? I was thinking of putting the bed underneath my window, and going for a pastel purple wall... hmmm dunno. Any ideas and suggestions on what to do with my room will be greatly appreciated!

I liked the second bedroom it looks more like something I would go for hehe and I liked the color of the walls as well ;P

I can't suggest brown because you hate it ;P And think its old people color right? :P I'm old now ha? :/

Anywho I think you should compliment your bedroom furniture, if you got black then try to mix a light and dark color, if you got brown then go with the earthy tones. If you're going to paint try to paint like opposite walls the same color and thte other opposite a lighter shade of that, it'll help you adjust to it.

As for the pets, Akh ya galby! CATS!

i sau go for blue and greenish colors, they are so relaxing to the eyes, i painted my room these colors and it really calming, and yes put the bed under the window and keep a small gap open from the curtains so you can look at the moon before bedtime it's so amazing i do that too ;)

Upstairs? Where, in CentrePoint Shuwaikh?!! All their furniture is in the basement. :/

And thanks for the directions. I've been to SunCity and most of those stores are overpriced, or let's say over my budget.

i liked the 2nd bed, and then i saw your reply to yazeez i just have to ask whats wrong with black ? =P

3ad awal i always wanted to paint my room BLACK! why because this way it would have less light and darker room = better sleep :P but course my parents were having none of that =P

last time i did my room i asked for orange walls and when they move me out ( im moving to another room bes i dont see it happening any time soon :p ) im gona ask for that to be orange =P
