operation decorate

Ever since i moved back into my parents house a couple of months ago, it has been really hard trying to figure out exactly how i wanted to set up my room. Because this room can only be arranged basically one way (due too built ins and sliding glass doors) , it kept looking exactly the way my room looked all throughout my childhood(which i didn't want) . So after much trial and error I finally decided on where i wanted everything....it is totally still a work in progress and needs much more organization, but i thought i would share with you guys some pictures of my favorite parts of my old/new room thus far. 

 Love my pretty flowers thanks to phil that are on my bedside. they make me happy

 some decor on my mantle

 fire place area....i still need to find something to go above my fireplace.

 love my little "mailbox" i store lots of my letters from past deployments in there

 I have these built in cabinets in my room...that are filled to the brim with tons of dolls that my mom has collected over the years and refuses to get rid of (she says that they are for her future grandkids..any who, i tried to figure out a way to cover all of it..so i covered the glass in letters from phillip from afghanistan/Iraq

  Small stache of books ...i have them everywhere

 one of my most favorite parts of this room has always been the closet space...i turned the bookcase into shoe storage...and yes it is already a mess and filled to the brim! love me some shoes!! (ps...please note my stack of spice girl barbie boxes at the VERY top of my closet....yes I was/am obsessed with them)

 Dexter got a haircut today and i just couldn't resist sharing pictures with you guys

 can you believe this sweet face was found in the animal shelter!!

 Seriously?! so cute now that he is less scruffy!

 i also made a makeshift headband out of random nicknacks i found while cleaning my room today ...trying to be resourceful here haha!
