This is sort of a continuation of my last post, Room Makeover: A Personal Touch. So check that out first, if you want. Since I first left for England for university, before I even began this blog, I've kept little things. When I started, I thought I might scrapbook them or something, but turns out … Continue reading My Trinket Wall
Room Makeover: A Personal Touch
When I last updated you guys on my room at my mom's, it was in this post. Well, I've made a few changes since, and I think this is as close to done as it'll ever get. And you know what? I like it. For my workspace, I got my desk from Ikea during their … Continue reading Room Makeover: A Personal Touch
Room Makeovers Without Money
I recently read a great article "Minimalism is Just Another Boring Product Wealthy People Can Buy" which raised some great points about how minimalism and nice decor are out of reach for most people, and it got me thinking. The rooms and dorm rooms I've decorated over the last five years, could I have done … Continue reading Room Makeovers Without Money
Room Tour
I finally did what I said I'd do and made a room tour! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7-MkK-Ggd8 I think I'm done. I'm happy with it. All of it. That's the first time since moving in that I've been able to say that. My room at its most basic is very monochromatic with blacks, whites, and greys. Mostly cooler-toned … Continue reading Room Tour

Styling a Bookshelf
This is long overdue. It took so long, in fact, that yet another piece for my room arrived today and I considered waiting a bit longer until it was installed to do an entire room reveal. I decided not to. So let's get to it. Ta-daa! Here we have my new (as of weeks ago) … Continue reading Styling a Bookshelf
Cork Board Trifecta
It's my second-last week of classes and I'm finally starting to feel that thing that happens when something is about to end. My senses are in overdrive, trying to take everything in and commit it all to memory. One of those things is the room I've been staying in this year. Of the three rooms … Continue reading Cork Board Trifecta
An Incomplete Room Tour
This post will mostly be a simple gallery of what my room looked like right before I left. I still haven't got art on the walls and the desk is missing a drawer because Ikea gave us the wrong screws (they screwed us, hehe), but other than those few things, I'm pretty happy with it. … Continue reading An Incomplete Room Tour
A Brief History of My Room
Today was a big day. My room looks more like a bedroom and less like a construction site than it has in months. Jeez. Months. Has it really taken me that long? Nonetheless, I did what I wanted to do before I leave again for England, and tonight I will be able to reap my … Continue reading A Brief History of My Room
Two-Toned Subtlety
I thought I finished Book 3 back in the first week of June. I started the next book and everything, but something about the way it ended just didn't feel right. For the past five weeks, I kept going back to how things ended. When I considered crossing out everything I'd written since then and … Continue reading Two-Toned Subtlety
