Room Mini Revamp

 My room has undergone a mini revamp. All due to the presence of a special item. 


And so, the seniors have graduated. Sad sad. But that also mean, a lot of the items they have in their room, will be inherited by the juniors aka me. So as a first tier junior, I get first pick! My room is already crowded with tons of furniture, so instead of picking drawers or wooden racks, I picked a COUCH!


And I am loving it. Haha. Thank YinnCher banyak banyak! 


And since the arrival of the couch, I needed to touch up my room decor by making the corner look cozy. So I made a trip to the dollar store and bought a couple items to replace the temporary-turned-permanent items I have. 


An example would be my dressing table comb cup. I initially used a paper cup to hold my brushed/shavers/tweezers/scissors yadayada. And the temporary paper cup turned permanent for a year due to sheer laziness to look for a proper holder. 

Can you believe I actually lived with a paper cup brush holder for a year now. Lolz. Lazy me.

But now, I is can have proper holder!

Yay!

And another item I kept telling myself to buy is a penholder. And I kept procrastinating. So my pens are always sprawled all over the table.


But sprawl table no more pens. Now you have a proper home!


Last item I need to purchase is a vase. For my dried flowers. I didn't see any nice + cheap vase in the dollar shop.


These poor dried flowers have been living in the orange juice bottle for about half a year now. Haha. 

And ALAS, picture of the couch in my cozy corner. 


Super *hearts* my room now. Oooh I bought the table runner from the dollar shop too. Good deal. Although quality not that good.

I also have a little post-it souvenir from disneyland that I hung up next to my table. Gonna be convenient sticking notes all over now.


And amidst all the decorating, I was complaining about my room being too dark. And I have been complaining about my room being too dark for about a year now (ever since I moved in). And each time I study without my table lamp I fall asleep due to the darkness. And one fine day, an idea struck me. 

That is, to remove the light cover. Walao I can't believe I am so stupid. For a year I live in darkness when a simple solution could have improved my studying (and maybe shelf scores too). Sigh. Damn dumb.

See how bright the lights are without the cover. 

I even personalized the 2 foam boards YinnCher left behind to go above the couch to add a personalized touch.



 *Heart* the new room-do. Haha.
