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

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

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
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…
Cork Boards 3 Different Ways
If you're staying in a dorm room, chances are there are fire regulations you need to follow. One of those regulations probably prohibits covering your walls in loose-leaf. The only place I'm allowed to put up paper are on my cork boards, generously provided in every room by housing. Last year I had one ginormous … Continue reading Cork Boards 3 Different Ways
Decorate A Dorm Room For Christmas For £5 ($9)
My dorm room is pretty standard. I have a fixed bed, desk, wardrobe, and shelves. I'm lucky enough to have a small en-suite and the building itself only opened last year so I am the second person to occupy this space. It's about half the size of last year's dorm, including the en-suite (last year's … Continue reading Decorate A Dorm Room For Christmas For £5 ($9)
