decorate my bedroom

Yeah. This is just EMBARRASSING. All this time has passed and I’ve got exactly nowhere.

BUT. I have now revamped an old wardrobe and moved it in, and it is now ready to fill with clothes I want to keep. I need to then get rid of all the clothes I’m not going to keep, and just ruthlessly throw things out.

And I wnat to get rid of all things Ikea.. well, except the bed.

So much to dooooo, so little time.

Oh, I also bought a nice picture I want to hang.

Since my last entry about this goal, and I haven’t done much about it.

I put up the lampshade, which looks awesome, and I’m almost done with the headboard, just a few more sequins to go!

Other than that, my room was still the same dump it was 4 weeks ago – until today! I have filled not one, but TWO bin bags full of rubbish and junk I don’t need, and have done some laundry.

I need to sort through all my clothes and put them into categories of: keep for best, keep for yard, take to charity shop, put on ebay, and customise/fix/use-as-material-for-other-projects :)

I am such a hoarder. . .

Well, better get back to it! x

This has been an ongoing project for about 4 years. I keep painting, changing my mind, and re-painting. I settled on a pale lilac some time ago, and I’m sticking with that. I’m keeping my dark red curtains, and dark red bed covers. I am however getting rid of all my cheap canvas covered furniture and replacing with gorgeous if slightly battered hardwood antique armoire and drawers – which I am going to paint purple inside and line the drawers with some awesome paper (after treating all items for possible woodworm…) I also need to finish painting the floor – as it is still 2 different colours because I changed my mind half way through. I got a new chandelier lampshade, which looks a heck of a lot better than the paper chinese lantern I had, and I’m making a headboard for my bed from some scrap wood, material, and sequins – because I’m too cheap to buy a gorgeous Parisian style carved one.

All this and I still haven’t properly tidied up. Clothes everywhere.

I just want a nice room, a nice, pretty, classy bedroom. I just can’t live in the mess anymore!
