I get gun shy at purchases, too - it's so amazing that someone else stepped in to pull the trigger. One day, I want a canopy studded with little lights like stars - it would go perfect with that bedding!

Ohmygod... fairy lights.
runs full tilt towards Amazon
(Also, you're right, it really was amazing!)
There are copper LED lights that are pretty through the canopy if you want to keep the cord look subtle.
Ooohhh, with the color of your stuff I bet the purple blacklight ones they sell around Halloween time would be gorgeous!
When I moved to my new room I did same thing, down to struggling on splurging on myself, and it's amazing how much a canopy & a comforter can make a world of difference. Sometimes I make my bed & just look at it & feel the feels.
Congrats on the beautiful space & the thoughtful friend!
Oh my god... must resist the urge to buy lights... must resist... MUST.
You're right, the purple blacklight-y ones would be amazing! I actually have a couple strands I bought a year ago but they kind of crapped out! Hmmmm....
Thank you so much! It really is just so weirdly helpful and comforting to have. Something about making the space yours is so powerful.
I'd love to see your bed if you have a picture kicking around!
Don't resist the urge to buy lights! Don't!
I didn't, within this past hour actually, so I have absolutely no ability to not be an enabler, especially when it comes to creating our safe spaces.
I got 33 feet of copper LED twinkle lights in warm white that are USB. I justified the cost because they'll be one part curtain rod. But they were $6, so it could have been worse! I think I'll get a solar USB battery to sit in the window to plug them into.
I'm not smart enough to upload pics here yet, but hopefully this link will work https://www.instagram.com/p/BZXUUddlg4N/
The curtains I ordered today are a bit like bamboo leaves & hopefully it'll look cute. Everything is brown & blue & cream colored.
(Buy the lights, buy them...:p)
... where did you buy the lights? I... I need the link.
And I LOVE your canopy! Omg, it is gorgeous!
Thank you! I ordered the lights from Wish.com. They are too hit & miss for me to full on recommend yet, but hopefully the new lights will be good. If you ever do order there are tons of 50% off you first order coupons online. (I figure that's less creepy than me sending mine).
I've ordered a lot from there & gotten some crap & some good stuff. Hopefully these lights will rock though. I love that they're USB.
