I was just watching this program on a local television cable, which was called, “Dress My Nest”. It was fun watching the designer create a new look for the lady which called for their assistance. As I was watching the program, I thought to myself, I’m stepping into adulthood (officially), this year, and I was just thinking about my room revamp. Is it to symbolize maturity? Or am I actually maturing?

I started looking through Ikea magazines today, old ones and new ones, you name them :-) I was not only looking at furniture, but I was looking at curtains and beddings- from sheets right to quilts. I started “shopping” virtually, picking out things I liked and marking the pages.

Then, I started counting the $$$. You see, not everyone is born with a golden-silver-bronze or whatever colour spoon in the mouth, whereby everything is given when requested, or finances are easier. I’m brought up in a middle income family, and being the ‘adult’ I am supposed to be, it also applies financially. Extra things I want, its all from my own pocket. Therefore, careful consideration has to be taken to thought before spending my hard-earned money. (Yes, I work part-time)

I even looked at lighting, and went back to my room looking at what else can be thrown out, so that I don’t have all the junk in my room. Then I started pondering on the colour I would paint my walls, and after staring at the calendar- I realized I can probably finish my room by the end of the month !! Yay ! Minus the beddings and curtains. I’ll get the major stuff like the lighting, walls and furniture done first.

Then comes the dilemma of stuff to hang on the wall. I’ve decided not to put borders on my walls, but now is to think what to put on my walls. I really want to put up my world map, and the frame of dog pictures that I created ;-) Then, I would have no place for the jigsaw puzzles I have. Anyway, those details can be added on later.

What I’ve discovered is my taste has matured, and I dare say I have good taste, and good colour coordination. Must have rubbed off on me, after working on various projects over the years with my beloved aunt :-)

So below are some pictures to show you what the room looks like now, I’ve shifted around the furniture, but the rest of the transformation has yet to begin.

Exhibit one

Exhibit Two

That’s what my room looks like currently. For some prior knowledge, this was originally my bro’s room. He tied the knot, and has a place of his own now. My old room was turned into a study room, and I inherited his room.

I know my curtains are super girly, mind you, I didn’t choose ‘em. And the circles on the walls, are all my bro’s. So, am so gonna make my ‘statement’ in this room :-)

Till then readers !
