Redesigning my bedroom, more or less…

I’m thinking about redesigning my bedroom. Within my limitations, of course, and keeping in mind I won’t stay around for long. But the truth is, it’s where I spend most of my days for now. I only finish University next year, and even then… Point being, all this clutter is getting to me. I feel like I’m suffocating in this place, so I want to change it make it simpler.

I just have so much stuff I don’t need or even like. A huge white board, for example. It’s fun and it goes with the bedroom/office look I wanted, but it’s not very useful. I can’t even reach the whole thing, since part of it hangs over my desk. And on top of that desk I have this very tall CD holder. It has a very large capacity for CDs, of which I only use about half, and not regularly at all. My chair is disgusting, completely destroyed by Luna’s claws (not that I minded, I didn’t get it in a very good condition in the first place anyway). But now the insides are coming out and it just looks gross. I won’t even go into the stacks of papers and random junk I have lying around. Even the little post-its that seem to be everywhere are annoying me. I feel so smothered by all of it.

My walls are disgusting too. I was thinking about repainting them. Not all of them, just two, with slightly darker tones than the light cream I have now. I think that’ll look good. How I’ll get that done, I have no idea, but we’ll see.

I’ve been looking at Ikea’s website. I had a very good experience the first time I went there, and continue to be absolutely satisfied with my customized Pax closet. And now I found this pretty chair, the black version that is. It looks so nice and simple and its name alone, “SKRUVSTA”, makes me want to have it. The price is an issue, but I’ll look into it.

Besides disgusting, my walls are all very naked too. So I’ve been looking at these “RIBBA” frames that come in several different sizes. Simple and clean, they go with my color scheme (browns and silvers, for that bedroom/office thing). I could really see a bunch of them displayed neatly across the room.

I honestly don’t know where this energy is coming from, and I’m sure half of what I’m planning will end up being forgotten and dropped along the way (as it happens with most of my projects). But while I’m feeling like this, I’m going for it. I need distractions right now, and this seems good.

The huge CD holder in my desk is going today. As most of the crap on my desk. The white board will stay for now, mostly because it’s a bit too heavy to get rid of as an impulse.
