A picture of my room

1. My bedroom walls used to have wallpaper. It was stripped off but I haven't painted yet. Any suggestions for wall colors?
2. Bookcase #1 was bought at IKEA. The #2 is by my Harry Potter series. I try to keep books that are in the same series together on the shelves.
3. The curtains are from the landlord. I am thinking of replacing them.
4. My awesome bedspread that came from Aunt Nancy (who, in turn, received it from Grandma R.) It is warm and very pretty. Sadly, I forgot to make my bed before I took this picture.
5. My big stuffed bunny was a Christmas present from my parents a long time ago. It has gone with me to every place that I have lived (including the one room cabin in Montana.)
6. Bookcase #2 of 4 was a high school graduation present from my parents. I love this bookcase because it fits so many books and because it came from my parents (who were smart enough to know that I wanted a bookcase instead of a bike.)
7. The Barnes and Noble classics series is black and are put together (despite not being by the same author.)
8. My collection of children's books is growing each year despite my lack of bearing children.
9. One of the four boxes I have yet to unpack (although I think I'm doing pretty well considering I have only lived there a month and a half.)
10. A picture I have yet to hang on my wall.
11. My tv remote is on my "dumping ground." I tend to dump papers and other small things on top of this bookcase.
12. Bookcase #3 is at the end of my bed while bookcase #4 is on the side of my bed (you can't see it in this picture.)

Thanks Emily for the idea of labeling pictures. It was an interesting mental exercise.

Pictures (a second try)

After my last post, which had a picture of my work space and my bedroom with comments, I was told by many people that they couldn't read the writing and when they made the pictures bigger, they still couldn't read the writing. In this attempt, I have numbered items and have provided the description below. Here goes:
1. HR books that I am not using much these days due to my Executive Assistant duties.
2. A book of meeting agendas
3. The awesome white elephant gift I received that is a tree made of cream Styrofoam balls and beads.
4. My packing tape for mailing things.
5. My water bottle. I drink at least one of these a day if not more.
6. My lotion. I have chronically dry hands while at work.
7. My many files that I keep action items in and things that my boss needs to address.
8. My food supplies (hot chocolate, crackers, and granola bars)
9. My chair/coat hanger
10. The cafe menu for the week
11. My purse (which is usually in my filing cabinet)
12. My orange juice. I am trying to keep my boss as healthy as possible by providing orange juice if he is running late to lunch.
13. The seashell. Along with being a reminder of my trip to San Francisco, it would make a handy weapon.
14. Hand sanitizer, which is very helpful in the winter when all my coworkers are sick.
15. My desk, which usually has papers on it but was cleaned before this picture was taken.
16. My filing cabinet, which is full of files that I maintain for my boss and myself.
