I’m gonna admit, I used a friends pinterest account to gain access to their website. This is because I’m tired of creating all these darn accounts and trying to keep up with them. I’m a simple person, and I guess this can be conveyed into my dream room. I screen shot each image I found on pinterest as well as embeded the link to the website with the photo.

Of course I’d want a hammock bed in my room. Those things are soooo comfortable.

Throw in some candles and fun lanterns

And some wide open windows. That’s all I need.

For this assigment worth 4 stars, we were supposed to create our dream room from pinterest pictures. I chose to do this of Harry from Harry Potter’s dream room, because I took it upon myself to do an entirely Harry Potter themed Web assignments week, and I had a lot of fun with it.

This took me about fifteen minutes to do, because I have my own pinterest account and know how to work it well, and know the Harry Potter books really well so I thought I’d know what Harry would like.

Here are the pictures of the things that Harry would like in his dream room!

Harry’s cage for his pet owl, Hedwig:

Harry’s Comforter (red for his Gryffindor color):

An old-fashioned dresser:

A cozy bookshelf right next to Harry’s bed:

and lastly… a photograph wall where he’d put all his memories:

For this assignment (3.5 stars), we had to create a Pinterest board for our dream room. I love using Pinterest so I found this assignment a lot of fun and useful because I will just keep the board for when I decide to decorate my room in the future! I went with the all white/rustic theme because I have always wanted to do that, some things I have pinned before that I would consider doing! Here is my link to my board!

This assignment seemed like a fun one to complete. It required me to create my dream room using pictures from pinterest. In order to complete this assignment the first step I had to do was create a Pinterest account. That was pretty simple but, then I had to figure out how it all worked. I figured out that I had to create a new “board” to be able to add or “pin” pictures. So, I titled the board “Dream Room” and began pinning pictures that I thought would help build my dream room. To start my dream room board I keyed into the pinterest search “purple room”. I chose this search because my favorite color is purple and I have always thought it would be cool to have a color coordinated room. As such, I feel the photos I pinned to my dream room board reflect this idea. First, I chose a picture of a room with walls that were painted in light purple and the curtains and pillows matched in color. The other main color in this room was white and I really liked the combination of these colors. So, for the other pictures I pinned, I chose to stay with the white and purple theme. I pinned a picture of a Monarch Butterfly chandelier that was purple and white because I love butterflies and it reminds me of my grandmother who also loved butterflies. Next, I decided to find an image of a large desk that would fit the theme of my dream room. Once I did find one I liked, I pinned the image to my board. In my dream room I would definitely have a large desk because the one I have now always seems too small to be able to do my work. This is because when I sit down to complete homework there never seems to be enough room to spread my papers out and have my computer on the desk at the same time which makes it difficult to get work done. So, I think a large desk would help solve this problem. Other images I pinned stuck with the purple and white theme of my dream room and I felt would fit nicely. Some of the items would provide useful functions such as, the purple drawer set, but other images such as the glitter outlet plate I feel would just add a bit to the room. You can see my dream room below!

By completing this assignment I found that you can really spend a lot of time on pinterest and not realize it! The pictures just continue to pop up and seem endless! However, I learned a lot about the pinterest site and found this assignment to be pretty fun. This assignment was worth three and a half stars contributing to this week’s 10 star requirement.

For my last web assignment this week I selected to do create your own room which is worth 3 1/2 stars bringing my final total to 10 1/2 stars. This assignment tells you to make a pinterest board of what your dream bedroom would be and then explain it. You can find my pinterest board here. First off I selected this really cool bohemian sheets and comforter because I absolutely love the color maroon. The second picture is a really nice set up for a bed with the two lamps that would be great for reading at night. I also found these cute like glass balls filled with plants that I think would add a different feel to the room. Of course I also had to pick a wall of shoes. Those shelves though would be great for anything; purses, bags, etc. I also LOVE to take pictures so the photo wall and the lights with photos are really neat concepts for one wall of my dream room. If I am going to go to medical school, I also need a place to study and I really liked the set up of this desk I selected with the shelves on the wall. Lastly, I picked a little couch area next to a window which I would also use for studying!

Create Your Own Room

I thought this assignment would be easy, all I’ve ever wanted to do is build and create my own house, including the bedroom! however, I forgot how indecisive i am… This assignment really interests me because ever since i was young I used to move house every two years, meaning i got a new bedroom to redecorate every two years, and i loved it. I used to plan it out to the extreme, being given budgets of my dad i would find the perfect wallpaper and some fresh new bedding, everything would have to look perfect.

So for this assignment I created a new board on Pinterest called ‘dream room‘ and basically searched every thing i would ever dream of having in one room.

To describe in one word what i like my dream room to be like it:
COSY

First things first, for any room to have the ‘wow’ factor, it needs a view. End of discussion.
Whether that’s a view of the sea side

A snowy forest,

The big bright lights of the city,

Or who said simplicity was bad?

I’m glad that’s out the way now, now a colour scheme, i like, no love! Really simplistic colours, i like greys and blue’s, golds and pink, I like everything to be quite subtle.

Now the real business starts, bed, my bed had to be the cosiest thing going, i like the puffiest duvet, fur throws, lots of pillows. I told you i like my comfort.

1. I love everything about this bed, the headboard, the throw, the cushions, and i love white bed sheets, however many chocolate milkshakes i spill in them…

2. Now you can’t tell me that wouldn’t be the cosiest thing ever?! to have a fire place right next to your bed? oh and a cute little dog on your bed…

3. Do i need to say anything, its simplistic yet so wonderful, i think i need to invest in a fur bed throw now…

The few last important things that make a room yours, are the decorations, I either have loads or none, i feel like there just no happy medium for me with decorations.

1. I think fairly lights can make any room look cosy, with your awesome view and your fireplace, I don’t see how you could want to be anywhere else?!

2. If you didn’t know already, I love traveling, and i couldn’t find a better way to express my love than this big map, and hanging pictures or quotes of the places you’ve been.

3. I wish my bed side table was this organised, no chance! However I love the idea of putting the extension cord in your draw, no mess and everything is right there where you need it, very handy!

4. Finally, as i said before I love the fairly lights, not fairly lights hanging up photographs of my adventures and loved ones, now thats a winner.
