Retail Therapy - Room Makeover

I am trying to have an attitude adjustment. Yesterday was just a terrible day! I need to really embrace what I have now and develop patience. I feel better today about some things and I am painting a smile on my face.

I know what I need! Retail therapy and a room makeover! Wouldn’t that be fun? Yep. I think that is what I am going to do soon. I need a project…and painting, organizing, and buying things is definitely a project.

Also, I am going to purchase a new flat screen TV and have the cable hooked up to my bedroom. It has been so long since I have had TV upstairs (years!). I am not a big into television, but it will be nice on the weekends and before bedtime.

Along with a TV will come a new TV stand. Or if I ever mount it, something to house movies and other electronic things. Maybe something chic or antique!

I already know that my walls will be a neutral color. They are currently purple (it has been painted purple twice!). I don’t want anything too dark – I want it to be relaxing and uplifting at the same time. Calming before bed and refreshing when I rise! I think I will start by finding a piece of art that strikes my interest and go from there!

I need some organization. I would like to have a better way of keeping up with all of my things. Right now I only have one room – so keep that in mind!

A mini fridge is a must. When the family comes to visit they like to eat my leftovers. They literally expect me to put a note on things that I do not eat. If I don’t it is gone before nightfall. So, I will have a mini fridge in my room. I just have to.

I do not have any curtains right now, because I accidentally tore down my curtain rod a while back, and have been too lazy to do anything about it.

I am seriously considering making a “duvet” if you will, for my bed. Santa brought me a sewing machine, and I haven’t used it yet! I would save some money if I could ever figure out how to sew. Meh. I think I will save the time and purchase new bedding. Too much work to do already.

My old desk is going to the landfill. Gone. I hate it.

So, lots to do! I am excited. I think I will go scoping out art tonite!
