My room.

by Kelley

in bitch be crazy, Happy happy joy joy

I have always had a room of mismatched furniture.

A room that is pretty much a storage space with a bed.

There always seemed to be something else to hold my attention and to be honest, I don’t spend that much time in there anyway.

But then again, I dream of going away.

Staying in fancy hotels.

With fancy sheets (that don’t have stains from someone wiping their arse on the bedding or feel like sandpaper)

And art on the walls.

A week or so ago I went fuck it.

Fuck it.

I want to live the hotel dream every motherfucking day.

So we moved from our bedroom with the ensuite with a curtain for a door to Moo’s old room.

We picked up some tables for the bedside from Kmart. Replacing the hand me downs from MOTY-my Auntie-her motherinlaw.

And a furry pillow.

And block out blinds for FIFTEEN BUCKS ARE YOU MOTHERFUCKING KIDDING ME????

1000 count doona cover from Target (30% off for those adding up my purchases… $89 for Egyptian cotton doona cover and 2 pillow cases motherfucking HUZZAH!)

Hung a tiny Malificent mirror in the corner that I found in the Op Shop.

A new TV. Full price.

A cabinet for the TV from the discount section at Officeworks…

And while we were there I got my favourite quote made into a 6ft poster which we then framed.

And now I have a beautiful bedroom that I adore going into.

Smile when I walk past.

And most importantly, makes me happy when I wake up.

Sure, there are still things I would love to do.

Painting would be one…

Black lampshades.

A new mattress.

Sure the room is small.

But for now, this room is my bliss.

For the first time ever.

Before I go to bed and as I wake up this is what I see

And the voice in my head need to hear that shit.

Look out! Moo is going to start hovering around making noises about moving back in there!
I love the serenity!

That is a beautiful room. You have inspired me to do the same. Sleeping is such a vulnerable time, we need to do it in a gorgeous, safe and soothing space. Sweet dreams.

Oooh I love it! I LOVE that quote so much too. This is what I’ve wanted to do for so long too – you know, to make my room hotel-worthy (or better) – to make a blissful space to wake up to. And why not? Life is short. I love your attitude, Kelley.

thanks sweetness. I have had that quote in mind for just a little frame next to my bed and then was all GO BIG OR GO HOME!

And I totally love it.

nawwwww… you are too cute x

19 Rachel @ The Kids Are All Right September 8, 2012 at 10:15 am

What a great quote, and what an even greater idea to get it turned into a massive poster so you can’t help but read it and take it on board. Bedrooms need to be a haven and a space you want to be in.

20 Kelley September 16, 2012 at 4:50 pm

exactly. Why do so many of us turn them into a dumping ground? The best part is there is NOTHING under my bed. NOTHING.

21 Kellie @ Delightfully Ludicrous September 8, 2012 at 10:35 am

It looks lovely! I’m particularly jealous of that mirror!

Reply

22 Kelley September 16, 2012 at 5:09 pm

it was such an awesome find. It was gold but I painted it black and then had to hide it cause Moo wanted to steal it. I think it is perfect there. totally random and totally useless but a bit of silly which is awesome. x

I LOVE your room.
Our room is just a storage place at the moment too because me moved from a house with a garage to a unit with nothing so we have a garage full of tools in our room.
Countdown is on, 3 weeks and we have a house again!

Wow, your new boudoir is incredible – what a beautiful space to go to sleep and wake up in. Our bedroom is next on my hit list so thank you for some divine inspiration. 1000 count bedlinen ftw!

26 Kelley September 16, 2012 at 5:11 pm

especially when it was like 80 bucks at Target! Gotta love discounted bedlinen. Let me know when you do yours.

LOOOOOOOOVE! And I totally agree that while we all hardly spend any time in our bedrooms, it IS the place we wake up and go to sleep each day an it is nice to do that with a smile on your face 🙂

he only gets it as a default. He can sleep on the floor.

Or in a stairwell.

True story.

Excellent quote.

Your new room looks very serene and restful. Sweet dreams coming your way for sure in there. You did very well with your shopping.
I co-ordinated my mismatched stuff by painting it, because it was only the colours that didn’t go together. I’m the only one who likes it, but I don’t care.

worked out that it was going to cost the same to paint the hand-me-down x3 bedsides that I hated as to buy the cubes!

Great room. I think a bedroom that you love is important. My 3.5 yo and I share a room because we have to. For a long time it was like sleeping in a nursery. We have recently complete changed it up and we both love it! Ned is now in his own space below my loft bed (no, it is not a bunk!). Like your new room, it is small but cosy. Cosy is good.

50 Kelley September 16, 2012 at 5:38 pm

Sometimes necessity breeds invention.

The poster is cause I had a long purple wall that needed covering. And now I love it! I imagine the same is for you.

51 Miss Pink September 9, 2012 at 8:11 pm

I LOVE it!

I’m so pleased for you both. 🙂 May the room and the change bring you both much joy.
