Been living in this room for almost 8 years and it's about time that this room need a face-lift! For a couple of years, I've been thinking about changing this room into something I like. However, I didn't managed to get things going due to a few factors. One, no money. Two, clueless about how I like my room to be. Three, alot of problem areas in the room which I do not know how to get rid. Four, lazy. :P
To cut the story short, I've finally revamped my room!!!
The blue baboon was brutally abused by yours truly throughout this process. I made him to paint the ceiling which was the most painful way to kill the neck. I dragged him to shop with me for hours and carried all my heavy purchases. I drowned him with endless raving about my big project plan for my room. I deprived him of sleep and time to do much more meaningful things.
But he is such a darling, as always, to find joy during such times of "misery".
I enjoy the entire process, from visualising the ideal room, deciding what to buy, purchasing the cheap-and-good stuff, troubleshooting for a solution to problem areas, to the hard work of getting it done. Â
Stuff that I have bought for the room are:-
1) 4 litres of Paint
2) Bed cushions, bed sheets, bed skirts and carpet
3) Ceiling light and side lamp
4) White office chair
5) Curtain and curtain rod
6) Fabrics for wardrobe and table
7) Misc stuff like boxes, handles and curtain drapers etc.
8) Electrican fee for light fixing and wall drillings
Total spending $700++Â
I am really happy with the end results. The blue baboon likes the turn out too, so much so that he specially requests for a reading corner for him. Well, I think that will go into project no. 2Â which will include a 40" Flat screen tv on the wall and loads of photo frames on the wall as well. Am excited thinking about it already!!!!
