Welcome to, my room.

From the 23 hours or so that I've had this blog, I've realized that it is extremely addictive. So addictive that I found myself wanting to blog all day long but thought it best to leave it to night time as I would just be spamming.

Onto my amazing idea for my bedroom!

It all began when I started checking out peoples tumblr and discovered fairy lights..but not just any fairy lights, not like the rainbow christmas fairy lights.. Fairy lights that one hangs up in their room to create an earthy vibe. Before I go any further, I'd like to point out that..I got sidetracked by facebook and forgot.. great.

Anyway, in an attempt to regain some memory I shall continue as if nothing has happened.. la la la.

See that image above? Well, firstly it's from this website and secondly, even though this is not a proper room, I would love to live in something like this!

Something a little more, hmm..affordable if not actually do-able would be this:

So, now you can see kind of what kind of fairy lights I'm referring to. Also, if anybody has any idea where to buy them from, i would be extremely happy as they are actually quite difficult to find!

My room is pretty much the same setup as that except its a single beg, and the bed frame is a darker brown, redwood/burgundy colour I'd say. Then again, I'm no specialist on wood colours.

Moving onto the wall design. At this point I have noticed that this little post will probably turn out to be like my little planning space as this is the first time I've really thoroughly thought about it. Before I can begin ANY work, I have to get rid of the mass mould accumulated on my floor. But enough about that, you can refer to my previous post if you're intrigued.

I get sidetracked very easily, for example this is taking me because what started and a sole tab being open, I now have 7.

Back to it! Above my bed, there shall be a Japanese cherry blossom tree like this one. It's going to look like a backwards r though, I mean, its shape.
Now that I come to think of it, it may start at the top right-hand corner and extend downwards. Something to figure out later!

So, in the end my room is going to have fairy lights, a peach or light brown/cream wall, a blossom tree pained on the wall, candles everywhere, a good vibe and a positive work space for when I actually bother to use my desk for something other than storage!

Now, where to begin...

au revoir. xo

What could have been

Right now I was supposed to be sitting in my bed, in my re-arranged room. There was supposed to be a good vibe and a blossom tree stenciled onto the wall behind me. It would be warm, with the flickering candle the only source of light besides the glowing laptop. Instead, there was a harsh reality when i moved my bed this morning.
After intense motivation to finally clean up my room and remove various unnessities such as the microscope I had gotten for my birthday when I was about 10. Music pumping, the clean up was going well! I even vacuumed! Something I would normally risk doing for fear that I'd have to do the whole house afterwards. Anyway, back to the story. So, feeling light and boppy, much light the music my iPod was playing, I decided to move my bed into the centre of my room for a change. Big mistake, BIG! Not only did my room seem as minuscule as it actually was, but there was a patch of discoloured carpet. What. An. Understatement. It was black and damp and repulsive. It was mould. See,, this is one of those times where i regret having the room right next to the bathroom. Besides times when certain family members went for spontaneous showers at ridiculous times, it was relatively alright, until today.
My, this was supposed to be another rant however I am yet to get to the point!
Long story short, my room has been turned into a worksite and smells like the aromatic scent mold usually is. What was supposed to be a room with positive energy, now feels like a cheap hotel.

Instead of my original plan, I am now sitting on my fold out couch complaining to 'the world' about my shit day. Weeeew.

On a brighter note, my next post will be what my room was originally planned to look like and I shall disregard all of this and pretend like it never happened.

au revoir. xo

P.S Remember that avocado sandwich I mentioned? Well, my day was further spoilt when I decided to have one for breakfast this morning (around 4 in the afternoon..) and to my despair, we in fact have none as they were thrown out. fml.
