Redoing my old room and I have a limited amount of stuff I'm able to do with it?
Elizabeth aksed: My dad and I live in my great-grandmother's old home (we rent from her right now) and it was built about 60-65 years ago. My room is the old formal living room and dining room- so I have three doors and a chandelier in my room. The dining room part I want to make into a study/music room/mini library (I own a ton of books) while the rest of room would stay as my 'bedroom part'.
The problem is that I can't buy any new furniture, unless it is like storage totes or something, but as far as my bed and dresser and stuff...I'm stuck with my grandmother's old stuff. I like them because they are all made of wood and I'm a country girl, so that works. I cannot do a lot of painting because my dad says we might move soon (he's been saying that for five years though...o.O) and it really isn't our house.
The dining room half has two walls separating it from the rest of the room with a door frame (no door though, just a cut out) that connects them and it has a door to the kitchen. I have a fireplace on one of the two main walls and on the opposite wall I have a large window about 10 feet long. I also have a front door and then a second door that goes into the hallway. I have crown molding, hardwood floors, and such, so I have a very good foundation.
I was considering doing something like a Tuscan countryside room, but I have a very modern side to me, but I'm also very traditional. For my study room/music room/ library I want it to feel like one of those libraries you would se n an old mansion or something, so very warm and inviting...but I want my room as a whole to reflect my very open, bright, an cheerful personality.
If it helps any, here are some facts about me:
I was born and raised on a frm and I have horses.
I love the Twilight Saga and my friends often call my Esme because I am very much like her.
I love anything Italian.
I'm very patriotic and wish to join the U.S. Navy.
I want to become an E.R. doctor.
I love to read.
I hope that is enough info to help everyone!
The front door isn' the main entrance anymore, so that's not a problem. I would prefer not to have it open though because a highway is right in our front yard ( it was added after the house as built) so I would prefer to not listen to the sound of cars. The fireplace is in the main room. I already have some bookshelves, but not very tall ones. All my wood furniture is a dark mahogony stain style. And I have probably over a 100 books that were my great-grandmothers, and they all were printed in the 30's. My full budget would probably be about $400-$500 as well.
I am allowed to paint my room. Since this isn't my house, push pins wouldn't be a good idea, but that is something I hadn't thought of. And my budget would be less than $200 because it turns out my parents wouldn't be helping me pay for anything. Yeah, I know, I'm pretty limited and boxed in on this whole thing.
Chey answered: For your library bench in front of fireplace.
Locate all your outlets for lighting in the library,now look around where you would like to place your desk and where you would like a lounging seating matching these with lighting availability.
Items you love strategically placed for your eyes will enhance this atmosphere.
Example: A horse statue,A flag, A memento of twilight hanging from your lamp or other at your desk.
If you are inclined cover some of your books to resemble sets is these colors like blues,reds,gold,ivory,greens placing the strategically in the room will also enhance the feeling.
Make your own ribbon book marks.
If you can find one a globe and old maps for decor.
footstool.
I am thinking a tuscan syle can be used if you are inclined by using hints of azure blue or even a beautifull turquoise, and deep reds. Olympic paints has a beautifull color called bookmarker red which I used myself.
For warmth Reds and yellow golds , blues, are traditional in old libraries.
Carpets/rugs and rich fabrics in velvet or damasks along with leather are all traditional.
You may wish to use a large old carpet if you have one and just layer in pillows with trim and tassles in the rich fabrics.
This is the room I used to design my retreat library it is the library at Biltmore Estates.

Gotta go will check back to add.
To make it how you want it, your gonna have to buy furniture. Just check out your local Salvation Army or Good Will for really cheap furniture. I've also heard of "free stores" run by churches and such.
If you want the dining room to feel like an old mansion library, you'll need tall bookshelves, and a big arm chair. The fireplace will really help the mood.
Does your front door have a screen? If so, keep the door open! The breeze and outdoor sounds will create a lovely country mood automatically.
