Thank you, all!

Can't say how much I appreciate you taking the time to make renders, floor plans, DIY suggestions, and answer my questions --it all helps so much as someone new to this.

Great to know the background on the door and what the material/finish is--I was going crazy trying to look up what it was. One of those things where you know what you want to search for but don't have the words to do so.

Appreciate the advice on taking it slow and decorating deliberately while living in the room. It's also a great way to continue budgeting while decorating. With that said, I'm excited to make mistakes! I won't be in this spot for too long but am stoked to learn as much as I can while I'm here.

To answer your questions,

I would say that table 2 is more my style although it's a little too monochromatic and polished for what I'm going for with the room (i.e. semi-rugged outdoor style). For instance, I love the idea of something like a glacial erratic in my room as if nature had accidentally made a table and left it there. With that said, I think it'd be amazing to incorporate rock material in the room, however, don't think it'll be super feasible from a cost perspective so no worries. All things considered, I would love clean modern geometry with some natrual imperfections (i.e. not too far in either direction).

For instance, this bench is a little too untidy for me. And Table 2 is a little too polished.

This table is something that would be perfect--natural, functional and subtle form with a rugged accent. Would need a rug to compliment it, however, I'm sure this kind of table would cost a ton to buy or make.

Another issue with these types of textures and patterns is that the current carpet clashes too much with them, however, you all have made me realize that rugs can really help to provide structure to then build from. With that said, my budget does limit me. This is what would be optimal but by no means do I think it's realistic for right now. Perhaps something for a future project!

I'm really excited about the prospect of doing murals with those constructivist mountains--they remind me so much of the painted hills that are around here!

As for the bed, I absolutely love the twin layout. I'll fit just fine and having been in this small town for long enough, I can say with confidence that a relationship is not in the near future so no worries on that end--I'm totally fine with losing some sleep when I have a guest over if it means that I can make the room more my own space and make it more into a "plant sanctuary," as Denise put it :). The winters are long and the days get short so would love to provide for myself a space that I can feel in my own element. I would also love to get a little more practice with carpentry by incorporating that raised platform! A great opportunity to take more control of the palette too! Anything to detract from the carpet, lol

Overall, I'm not likely to stay here for too long (at least 1 year) so I would love to take advantage of trying my hand at anything and everything that could benefit future projects.

Let me know if anything else comes to your minds or if you have any further questions! Thank you again for your time, this is incredible.
