I'd like to state that I do not recommend decorating your room with really cheap furniture. I just wanted to give a new perspective on those stunning magazine pages that seem "impossible." If you were my (real-life) client and you handed me the bedroom picture I would first ask to go shopping in your attic (or your mother's) and then tell you to start reading. In fact, that brings up my last (but least $) item for the room:

Books**

That's your job. I recommend going here.

Oh, and in case you were wondering the very close runner up was: #17!!
