This is yet another room makeover, following my Quick Desk Makeover. This weekend I'll add my painted bed frame (it's outside drying) paint the room, and hang more art. But so far it's already a big improvement over the BEFORE:
Cringe in horror - this is the room AFTER about an hour of cleaning and organizing. Yes, I could barely walk in here. I blame my 50 hour a week job and a million other commitments for this mess of monstrous proportions.
I know this is a subpar and boring "Transformation", but it's better than the bedroom at my new apartment has looked before. After paint and some better balance this room will look much better.
The Desk Corner. I'll hang some curtains on this side too.
This small thrifted "table" (actually a tray and stand) cost me $3 total. I can't believe I forgot to brag about it in Monday's Thrift Post. I bought it at a very beautiful thrift store.
This Quick Makeover took about two hours, I did it while listening to/watching the beautiful Interstella 5555 on YouTube. I only slept for 3.5 hours but it was worth it. Settling into this new apartment has been a slow and satisfying process, but it's time to pick up the pace!
