Pimp my bachelor pad!

Jump to Comments

Absolutely.  I love decorating a room, especially when it’s not my own.  My opinions and tastes are still evolving, so something I love a year ago may be an abhorrence today.

This is what I’m thinking::

.

First: new paint, new carpeting, and junk removal

I’d want to paint the room a light shade of ivory or cream.  There’s a really cute wood pattern near the stair case, so that could be a collage of white, black, and nude colors.  The carpet should be a darker color, since there are boys.  So maybe a lighter shade of a dirty green?
