And it doesn't really feel like home yet, but it will soon.
It took the majority of a day to travel across the country, again, and the rest of the day to unpack. I was lucky enough to just buy off the furniture in my room for a low cost because I knew who lived here before me, and they left everything. Like, three bookshelves (all different sizes), a dresser, desk, bed frame and mattresses, bedside table, and another mini dresser. So I took it all out, rearranged it and only kept what I needed, and moved the rest out - leaving me with the bed, the black dresser and desk, and two white bookshelves.
Now, here's the fun part; the rest of the week before classes start will be spent making it feel like my room.
-the big white bookcase blends in too much so I'm going to paint the backing of it a dark grey
- i'd like to find a thrift or vintage store to get a few interesting pieces, specifically something I can use for a trash bin, lamp, and wooden picture frames to hang things in
- i'll arrange and hang all of my prints and the cool clock my mom got me from ikea
- and a chair for my desk. don't have one of those as of now either
- i feel like a rug would make it feel more cozy, but I definitely wont get one unless it's cheap and I love it
Grey. Always grey. White will get dirty and black will get dusty. If you live near a Hobby Lobby (although I'm not sure that anyone other than the south has these), there's a great velvet pseudo-suede/velvet that is only $18/yard [it's upholstery fabric], and you can get it half off all the time, which means you'll only need about $20 in fabric! I LOVE PROJECTS. Also, we're doing the LGN headboard, too, so let's bond.
i love the idea of house/room projects! i'm excited to see your finished room : ) also, listen to shelby! she knows what she's doing - queen of projects!
