Unfortunately, you did say you would pay for the bigger room. I agree that the perk would be rightfully yours, since you did all the work and have most of the furnishings, but your roomie might take you at your word. Have a talk with her. Tell her you've been thinking about the fairness of this, and explain your reasons. She might agree. If not, you might be able to lower the extra amount you're paying. If nothing else, at least you won't be stewing for months and suddenly blow up at her for something else. (By the way, the fact that she gets her room paid for and you work for it should not affect any agreements between you. It's just how things are.)
