Recently, my loving brother decided to fly out of the nest and move to live with his girlfriend. So in light of the situation I decided to take this burden of having an unoccupied room from my parents and make the room my office/closet. His room is, well unpleasing, it’s very small, the paint is hideous and the forest green carpet is going to be a struggle to work with.
After announcing that I will be taking on this redesign project images flooded my head; “what color paint?”, “what furniture do I need?”, “How will I finance all of this?”, are just a few questions I had to ask myself. So where do I turn? Pinterest! I’m not exactly handy so I will need to recruit my step-dad for…almost everything…I’m the type of person who gets these enormous ideas and then they end up only turning out half of what I expected. So I decided to start acquiring items for my room, cyber Monday had some good deals, let me tell you!
As of now I had a TV, and a nice cream leather futon and together it was only $320…yeah only…Now that my bank account is completely empty, I still have a few items left on my list. Definitely will need paint, a desk, a chair, a few things for the walls, a lamp, a few throw pillows, and to cover the awful carpet a nice area rug. I intend to have the room finished by fall, because I can’t dump all of my money into it. My reasoning for spending so much time, money, and effort is so that I can have a comfortable setting to study and hangout with my friends. Our house is pretty small; and I detest having to fight my parents for the living room, or having all of my friends pile up onto my bed to watch a movie. Fingers crossed that I don’t get in over my head on this one!
