A lot of thought went into this. Here are some of the before and after pics!
I had two main goals; 1) to create an open closet space and 2) to create a more organized desk space. The rest is because I thought "go hard or go home".. and also, I got a bit carried away.
Wall 1: Desk Wall
There was not nearly enough organization in this area. Too much clutter and not enough space.

Wall 3: Closet to Shelf space
I was honestly sick of this old closet. Its been in our family for much too long, and it was time to move on. Since, as seen in the previous pictures above, I was already going with the "open wardrobe" idea, I tried to bring that into this wall a bit.

There really isn't much to say about this wall, as the bed stayed the same. I did however, decide to paint the wall and add a stronger color pallet to the room.
Basically everything I added to my room I bought from IKEA. A make over does not have to be expensive. You can find beautiful touches, such as pillows or blankets, for cheep, or possibly you already have them, gathering dust in storage.
A more "mini" make-over is a great way to find use for things you still love, by just giving them a new twist.
