November 14 2009: Interior Decorating
So I’ve finally got most of my room in order, in that the bedroom furniture is in place, curtains are up, and everything’s stored and organised as I like it. It’s a small room, but really, I don’t own enough to require a larger space.
I’ve done pretty well with minimalising my wardrobe. I’ve gone from this, to the above – just what you can see in the chest of drawers and portable wardrobe. Ideally I’d be able to minimalise it further, so that it would all be contained in the wardrobe without what’s currently in the chest of drawers, but that’s more a pipe dream, and quite unrealistic.
As a form of girly/lazy interior design, I’ve turned one wall into a live display of accessories. I have sparkly necklaces and colourful scarves – why not turn it into a wall display? The other wall is still very bare – I’m thinking some large framed abstract painting or macro photograph would go well there, but that’s something that can wait until I’m a bit more flush with money.

Wow, very impressive, very minimal. You weren’t lying, your room is quite small and cosy, your bed takes up three quarters of it! =P
But I do really like the feel of your room. Its adult and common sense in a “this is all I need” way rather than a “this is all my… junk” way. If you get what I mean.
So I gather you’re planning to live here for quite a while?

Very nice job with the decorating. Nice touch to keep your accessories on one wall :) . I love macro photography so I would totally go for that to put on my wall (if I had any more space to hang things haha)

Ah, I’ve just caught up via your last two blog posts – good call on the bed set, it’s looking sleek, and you’re right about the long-term investment thing! :)

I like the accessories wall idea too. You should always be able to find what you are looking for. Very practical. I hope your new dwelling is comfortable and exactly what you were expecting. =)

Since you live so close…you should come and live with me! We can share a bed, I’ll just throw my plushies and rubbish on the floor :)

You can cut stuff out of old magazines and hang it on the walls too.
Interior decorating from a college student, lol.
