Room Renovations

I have decided to re-do my room! I am thoroughly unsatisfied with it's current appearance.. leeet me tell you. So I have made a checklist of things to accomplish to renovate it. I also decided to do one new project a week, on Sundays. This helps me to get in the habit of staying home on Sundays, which is something I desperately need to learn.

So, my checklist. I started small today, and got one item checked off.

-Replace crusty old wire hangers with plastic ones.
-Re-paint! (I'll work on this through the week, doing the majority Sunday) First going to re-paint the inside of my closet.. yes, I really am that anal. Then going to re-paint the trim, and on Sunday I'll do the walls. I'll get around to showing you all the current color of my walls. I'm scared you'll all gag, but it's a risk I'm willing to take ;)
- Get something for my shoes. I know this will gross some people out..but whatevs. In the summer, we get bugs here. They like to crawl in shoes if you leave them on the floor. I have more than once stuck my foot into a bug filled shoe.. I'd like that to stop.
- Find a bookshelf. Preferably a portable one.. so I can take it with when I move. (This goes for everything I'll be buying.)
- Get a nightstand.
- Organize my under the bed organization thingies. Yeah.. they need it.
- Find some way to organize my jewelry. It's currently hanging here and there and thrown everywhere.
- Purchase a mirror! That's right, I have no mirror in my room. It drives me nuts.
- Decorate the walls.
- etc

I'm sure I'll add more things as time goes on. It's going to have to be a somewhat spread out project cause hey.. I'm not rich. But I think it'll be fun to get my mind off of life by taking on and finishing these projects. So ya.

P.S. Tomorrow I'm going to get my own set of scriptures. Yay!

Painting your room will be fun! I would not be allowed to do that at my parents house. I can't wait to have my own place to decorate! (since I'm about to move back home and out of this apartment!). Bugs in shoes?? Eeek! That would scare me like crazy!

I LOVE re-doing my room, shifting everything around, making it the boho lovenest I've always wanted it to be... :) Now I just need to work on the love part!!

ooo that sounds fun! I love to redecorate or change things up! I get bored easily, so something new or placed in a different spot prevents me from getting too "caved in".
