The Three-Month Re-Decoration

Every three months, I redecorate my space somehow. I can’t help it, it just drives me up the wall staying in the same space for too long.

I haven’t had to worry about that for the past few years, now. I went off to university for three months, that was a room change. Then I was home for a month, which was another room change. Then three more months at school, one at home, two weeks at school, then I spent two-and-a-half months of my five-month break at home, before we moved and I spent the rest of the break in a new room, then university for another three months, then home for a month.

This is the first time in a couple of years that I’ve spent longer than three months in a single room. In fact, it had been so long that I had completely forgotten how I always redecorated at around three months, until I had already bought the new stuff for my room and re-arranged whatever furniture wasn’t attached to the wall. After I had re-done pretty much everything in the room, I realized it had been three months again. It’s like being a werewolf and not seeing the moon for a while and forgetting you should worry about it until you wake up with a carcass at your feet, only with decorating.

So here’s my room before, with the university-given bedspread that was falling apart and not very comfortable:

I didn’t take before pictures, so you’ll have to make do with these. Of course, that means you can’t see the suitcase at the foot of the bed, but that’s okay.

Here’s the after pictures. You’ll notice my board is different because I had to take down the character designs to do a presentation, but they’ll go up again soon.

Yup. I decorated my bed with colourful pineapples, including a pineapple throw pillow. I know pineapples are a fad that’s on it’s way out, but I’ve like them for ages. They have cool textures and are prickly on the outside but sweet on the inside. I also moved the bedside table to the foot of the bed, so I have more room around the side and the awkward space at the foot of the bed is now filled. You can’t see in these pictures, but I also moved the desk lamp to the top of my wardrobe. I can reach the switch from my bed and if the room light is ever too bright, the lamp serves as a good alternative.

So what do you think? Do you like the pineapples? Is there anything you would change? Tell me below!
