I thought it would be cool to check out what our rooms are like. Is it messy/clean. What kinds of decorations do you have on the walls, etc. They say your room reflects your personality.
But to share what my room looks like. ;D
First of all, it's a little on the messy side, but the only reason it's like that is because I find "more important" things to do, like come talk to you guys and spread peace and stuff. ;D
Like I've said before in other threads, I have, I guess you can say, an eccentric taste. My walls are light blue and I have cut-outs from magazines of singers (very few as I have little interest in celebrities), I have posters and printouts of Egyptian scenes. All over the wall I have national Geographic cut-outs of people praying. I have millions of animals and I have prayers of peace from various faiths all over my walls. I have a few framed paintings with quotes on them and that's all I can remember.
I have a stereo system (that enver likes to play track 1 on any cd immediately and it takes like 10 tries, but hey, it's very old). I have my computer that doesn't go online yet and my dog's food and water. (I would keep it in the kitchen but @ night I don't like leaving my door open and my dog sleeps with me or in my room on the floor or something. ;D)
Anyone else?

Lessee...
My bedroom walls are stupid wood, the ceiling is white and the carpet is uhm...an off-white, light beige I guess. lol It doesn't look that bad.
When standing in the doorway to my room facing in, you're facing a wall because the side of my closet is like right there, and you have to turn to the left slightly to enter the room.
On the walls...
Calendars: Itlay, France, Europe (in general), Canada, Candian Geographic, and 2 Beatles calendars.
Posters: Framed: Guitars with chords, several of the Beatles and John Lennon, Johnny Depp, Pink Floyd, and lots of other band posters. (some are just sitting along the walls because I have so many. You can't see the "stupid wood." lol)
Posters: Not framed: Canadian Girls Kick Ass, Bart Simpson's "I will not..." and a psychedelic marijuana leaf (on the ceiling)...along with a collage of news paper and magazine cut-outs along a part of the front, outside wall.
Other: Along the walls: Bookshelves, entertainment unit, bed, endtables, guitars and stuffed animals.
My room really isn't that messy (as I have no room to be lol), but my closet is a total junk pit. My clothes (which are supposed to be on the shelves), are just thrown in the closet. ;D

OM f-ckin' God Tiger, we got the same room! I have the same color floor and the wall is right in front of my door too! My computer is on the left where another wall protrudes b/c that's my mom's closet. What kind of door does your closet have? Same here! I have a shoe shelf on the right that has a few shoes and purses and my clothes pile.... goes past my waist (wait 'till Faith sees this) . It's ridiculous and I'm cranky about who comes in my room and especially who tries to check out under the bed. There isn't any room for mosnters, just put it like that. ;D I'm thinking I could make a mini-clip tour of my room for you guys... but then again, you won't get footage of under the bed or the closet. (Sorry, Gnome policy ;D)

My room is perpetually messy, though my mom manages to get me to put everyhting away, so I won't be able to find it. My room is 90 cubic feet, and is totally filled by a desk, bureau and bunkbed. I have a 3X5 foot pice of floor in the middle, and a strip of fllor going to the closet. My room, being so small, is insufferably hot.

My entertainment unit is to the left when you walk in...so if music is playing, you get blasted. ;D Anyway, my closet doors are double, shutter-type, bi-fold doors. lol Same here. Under my bed...a collector's edition John Lennon guitar, tons of binders filled with poetry, songs, etc. and I suspect there may be a couple tubes of lipgloss, a comb and a purple pen...as they are no longer on my night stand. ...There may also be a door to hell. ;D

Sorry guys, I've just not been feeling good, kinda sticking to my bed..bleh, stupid stupid brothers always bring home every illness from their school My door has hanging above it a four leaf plastic clover, that was tied around the bouquet I carried in a friend's wedding. The flowers died, and I couldn't part with the ribbon and the clover, so it hangs infront of my door for good luck. I have tons of bumperstickers on my door "save disney" " death is but a doorway here let me hold this for you" " i'm smiling because you've all driven me insane" "don't piss me off I'm running out of places to hide the bodies" "goddesses don't always have to be anorexic" 'there are intelligent beings in the universe, they are all owned by cats". There's two pictures that Jacob , lil bro, has done for me. One is of The phantom of the opera and his son(not that he has one, mind you, Jacob was little when he drew this ), and a precious moments picture out of my coloring book. Yeah, I get these just for kicks, but now Jacob's too old to color. When you open the door, you see the litterbox at the foot of my bed infront of you. there's a "god bless this home" throw that I put up on the wall, god knows why. The bed comforter is green, the pillowcase is purple with a wind symbol on it. Also have the wind symbol on the wall on the right side on the bed in stars(yes I'm dorky). I have a picture of an Angel above the head board of my bed. Angel the cat's basket is on the floor. Next to that is my nightstand, which has my phantom of the opera stuff(musicboxes, a glass rose, mask, and a few oraments), my simmering pot for my liquid fragrances, snow white 3d crystal thingy. On the floor I have angel's food bowl. I have pictures of Ireland on that wall too, with a picture of a child like fairy.. On the left upper hand corner you have my walk in closet, with excessive crap thrown in. I mean, you could kill your self by opening the door, but I wouldn't suggest it. Dolls, stuffed animals, puzzles, clothes, it's a dangerous place. On the closet door is pictures of pigs from animal farm, babe, and some weird stories I got of weekly world news. Dresser on the left wall has musicboxes, my nutcracker carosuel, my nutcracker, my disney things, ballerina's and angels. Candles, cds, ya know the drill. The door to the bathroom is covered in weird ness. stuff I cut out of magazines and just put up there. I keep my miscellanous junk in baskets and caboodle thingies. Heheh Then I have my tons of movies, and my dream catcher on that one bit of left wall, and on the last wall heh, there's a picture I've drawn, my medieval times dinner and tournament flag, pictures of morgan le fey, a wolf, and a cat calender. I have several old calenders that I put up from time to time too! I love "the perfect man" calender...hehehe ok, long long run out description, sorry. You wanted to know.

my room has dark blue carpet, a light blue ceiling and light blue walls (hey, i'm a boy, what do you expect . well, 3 walls are blue, one was once white but i got my friends round with some cans of spray paint and went crazy one afternoon, so it's got tonnes of crap all over it (mostly musical stuff and the best thing about it is a copy of the album cover for "the battle of LA" by rage against the machine). there's a bed in the far corner from the doorway and a desk in the corner you face when you open the door. there's a cupboard and a chest of drawers against a couple of the walls but they don't get used much seeing as all my clothes are on the floor (though i do hang my kilt up in the cupboard . my bed's got a tartan duvet on it and a tartan pillow as well. yes, i am a proud scotsman ;D other than that it's not interesting, lots of books (terry pratchett novels and the like) and some notes from uni on the floor under a pile of clothes, and then a few shelves of books from when i was little. not that interesting really

Anyway, my closet doors are double, shutter-type, bi-fold doors. Yup. ;D The current pic on my site is where I took it. In front of the double doors. At least you can find the comb and lipgloss. I've got old notebooks from school (most from classes that touched up on culture and religion) that are too dusty to go through. This morning I decided to plan a bonfire b/c I'm too lazy to go through all the stuff. Oh yeah, I have too many books in my room and not enough places to put them. My nightstand is a total mess. I was once proud of myself when I removed my dog's cage. (I was going to get him a pet taxi instead b/c he's small and I saw one at a tag sale too, but... :shrug:) Ooh littlepea, when do you wear your kilt? I remember this guy who would walk out every morning playing the bagpipes at this aparment complex. Amazingly, no complaints.

My room was at one time, a garage, so it's rather large. The motiff is completely oriental. The walls are a shade or very dark redish-orange, and a lightish brown color, they are almost indistinguishable, and they play off eachother well, giving the illusion of shading on certain sides. My bed spread has a matching oriental dragon print, and my dressers are yellow wood. Adjacent to my bed, which is located at one end under two windows, is my tv, proped up onto one of my dressers. At the other end of the room, is my couch, right underneath a large oriental fan. At the foot of my couch, is a coffee table, which is very cool looking. It is the large bottom of a tree trunk. It's sanded, stained darkly, and long twisted roots hold it up, the top is made of glass. My swords are all stashed in a plastic cylinder of next to the tv, and I have numerous framed oriental prints and such. I have double-doors, dark red wood, with stained glass panels. I even have a side door, for much added convenience. Ofcourse, it's eternally messy unless my ma' gets on me about it.

Hey. This is my first post and as Tara said what your room is like can reflect your personality.
The carpet is dark green with a couple different shades and the walls are a pale purple. Originally bright yellow but that had to go.
I like it clean but it doesn't usually stay that way long... Papers and clothes are strewn were ever there is open space.
The door is in the right corner. A fantasy themed calendar that I got for my b-day, hangs above the light switch. A dark colored wood dresser with a large mirror on top is closes to the door. It has a picture of Ivan (my dad's cat) and has various make-up, perfume on it. Along with a sea shell box that holds jewelry. There is also a Korean doll I got from a adoption multi-cultural festival.
In the left corner closest to the door is the tv and vcr. Across from that is my bed which has a fan pointed in it. The bed has stuff animals and blankets on it when its made, but when its not which is often the case, they get stuck in the cracks.
There is a little shelf full of important papers.. birth certificate so on... And a faux leopard floor skin. (Its obviously a stuffed animal but is made to look like a floor skin) given to me by my homies for christmas.
I have posters of Richard Gere from Chicago, Christina Aguilara (I'm not a big fan but she's so very hot in it), and a poster of Samus Aran (Metroid). Various old calendars from the Chinese Restaurant... they had too cool of pictures to throw way. pictures from various magizines. My favorite is one of a raven sliding down an icy hill on its back.
There's various other clutter or significant pieces but I figure this is more than sufficent. ^.^

My sister's already has. Actually, it more resembles a portal to an alternate universe, where, apparently, useless trinkets are money. I am fairly certain her desk could acheive sentience. ;D

I want Avalon's room. ;D
Mine is great, though. The walls and carpet are a crappy off-white, but I'm renting here. I have on one wall a wall collage of random postcards (like "I love dorks" and "The whole world is going to hell, and I'm driving the bus."), stickers, photos (2 of Mr. Johnny Depp), and spooky magazine clippings (like a pic of the Cheshire Cat from American McGee's Alice). And some other stuff.
Posters: Have a Night poster (smileys!), "Genesis" and "The Doorway" are my 2 spiritual posters, a poster of Death (not Pratchett, this one is spooky), and a cartoon Lord of the Rings.
Non-posters: An inspirational calendar, my college diploma, a mounted gladius (my scimitar and katana are leaned up against the same wall), a print called "The Autumn of my Life" (a skeleton with leaves behind it), and soon I will have my own artpiece up beneath the print and sword (still working on it, it's called "Memento Mori").
I have a big red bed in the middle of the room, a crappy old nightstand on one side and a box covered in a black sheet on the other, my desk is big and black, just like my junky old computer. I have 2 white shelving units, one of which is a bookcase for all of my Wicca books, philosophy and religion books, and D&D stuff (what a mix). On top of it is my lava lamp, some candle and incense stuff, my thinking skeleton, and my death clock.
The room is generally a neat clutter (*I* know where everything is). Bathroom is always neat, but with random objects all over the sink.
Special Closet! - This is sort of a meditation/reading/ritual/smoking room. I have a tie-dye blanket on the floor, some pillows, tons of candles and incense, a little box that acts as an altar or just a food/candle/smoking supply surface. Stuffed animals litter the floor and Mardi Gras beads hang overhead on what are supposed to be closet bars for hangers. Lots of other fun stuff as well. I love my special closet.
