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

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
Painting A Closet
This is not a how-to article, so if that's what you're looking for I suggest you keep looking. If I'm honest, I've been putting off painting my room for one simple reason: it makes me nervous. What if it looks bad? What if I spill paint everywhere? Even today as I put primer over what used to … Continue reading Painting A Closet
Lately In My Closet
The summer has been hot and sticky. And boring. I barely know what to write about anymore. But I thought I should at least catch you guys up on what's been going on. Remember the closet shelf I had before? With some help from my dad, we took that out. Whoever installed it did a … Continue reading Lately In My Closet
My Room So Far…
Previously, on My Room... Last August, I was presented with a new bedroom and the challenge of decorating it within a budget and a simple set of rules: I can't use black paint, I can't replace the carpet, and I have to do all my own painting. I set fourth with an ambitious plan and … Continue reading My Room So Far…
