...I take apart my computer system and move it out of the room. It's showtime! I am cleaning the walls tonight and painting tomorrow. I may have a super busy work schedule happening this week so I want to get my new bedroom ready to move in.
I spent some time today moving a rack filled with comics shortboxes to one side of the room, then out of the room altogether into the living room. It's a fucking disaster zone once again out there. The living room is the new defacto storage space, now that I'm repurposing the other rooms upstairs.
Just to be clear, I have a (large, unfinished) basement and then there's one floor that I live on, no second floor. I have a two bedroom apartment, and one of those rooms has always been an office. I might make it sound sometimes like this is bigger house. It's why it gets so messy, I have to play Tetris with all of this junk. My bedroom is full too. It's hard to believe that it's much less stuff than it was a year ago, or that I've bought very little to add to the decor. The only new piece of furniture that I purchased (that I still have around) is my bed. I was gifted a lot of furniture from my mother-in-law a year ago but I found places around the house for all of it. Mostly by getting rid of stuff I already had.
This evening I got the paint I'm using, it's a warm white with just a hint of orange. You have to use a warm color to offset these Northwest winter grays and cold sunshine days. Also, my new bedroom window faces the north so I don't think I'll be having a lot of direct sunlight in here. I can't wait to see it all come together!
