decorate my bedroom (read all 2 entries…)
developments 3 weeks ago

I have found a fashion/interior designer that might be the one to sort my bedroom out. My only concern now is cost. I imagine her fees alone will cost me at least a grand leaving, out of my original budget, only a grand for new furniture, fittings and dressing. Not enough I don’t think :(

It would be too easy to say forget getting a professional in to do the job but I know even if I made that money available to myself I wouldn’t get round to it. I just wouldn’t. So, I think I will have to bite the bullet and just go with someone that is more than able.

I need to get back to her and let her know my budget to see if there is actually any point in even booking in for the first phase (where she sorts my wardrobe out) and then moving on to fixing the bedroom up.

These are links I have been looking at tonight -

I need help 3 weeks ago

I need someone to come in and just deal with this on my behalf. Too much clothes not enough storage – need new wardrobes. Need new curtains and window dressing. Need to deal with the cluttered look. Need to paint chimney breast/accent wall. Need new light fittings. Need music system installed on wall (finally!!) Need rug (or carpet)?

I really need to do this now as I have been single for like forever and never needed to worry about it because no-one saw my room but I am no longer single and I really want my new beau to actually be able to set foot in there one day!

I am happy to throw a bit of money towards it – including furniture and labour I wouldn’t want to spend more than 2K.

I have a great bed-stand and mattress which will save money and stress. Just need to find someone to take on the challenge!



See Carina Round live!
July date set 4 months ago

She is playing in London on the 21st @ Monto Water Rats and I shall finally get a chance to catch her playing live. I have been a fan since 2003 and have resolutey remained so with every new release so it is about time for sure.

Can’t wait to get my hands on one of those new t-shirts she mentioned on her Twitter page as well because nothing says true fan than an artiste’s clothing afterall lol
