14. Room Update

Ok, I have been working on my room, but it is still not fully complete. Below is what exactly has been done:

1) Dresser was moved to the closet. In order to make the dresser fit correctly in my closet I had to move 3 boxes from the right side of the closet into the storage spaces we have in our bonus room. The dresser fits percfect in there! If I need to pull the drawers completely out, I have to turn it at an angle, otherwise it works great! The drawers pull out enough that I can retrieve everything without a problem.

2) Clothes that I currently wear are now in the other dresser that holds the tv while the video games that were in those two drawers are now in this nifty small black 3-drawer night stand (I guess) that holds the games without a problem, plus some extra stuff that I had on my computer desk.

3) With some screws, the computer desk was strengthened. The desk still wobbles, but atleast everything is now in tact. All I need to do is put my speakers and my printer back on the desk and I will be golden!

4) The floor was vacuumed and I mean it was vacuumed! The futon and the bed are both spotless underneath! Plus, I am in the process of cleaning up the stains on the floor.

5) I have a dry-erase calendar above my desk so I can be incharge of what I need to get done and hopefully it will be a savior for me this year!

6) The Canada flag is pinned up on the wall above my bed!


I still have some things to get done, such as:

1) Reorganizing my shelf that contains my CD's, DVD's, and books. Easy fix, just haven't gotten around to doing it.

2) Cleaning the TV dresser. Dusting it and ridding it of what is on top of it -besides the stereo- will do the job!

3) Dust the TV

4) Clean the futon matress

5) Removing the dresser doors (optional). I still have not decided on whether to do that or not.


Maybe once it is fully done, I will take a couple of pictures and post them on here!


By the way, next monday I will post my top artists of the week according to Last.fm!

13. New (Room) Beginnings

Ok, this will be a short one before my next blog which will be about an entirely different subject! Anywho! I have decided to rearrange my room slightly. I want to make the room feel more spacious with what little space I have (I was able to successfully do that out in Arizona with a room smaller than the one I have! I had such a better vibe from redoing that room!) and besides... it just need to be cleaned out alittle bit.

This is what I plan on doing:

1) Cleaning my closet and putting everything into boxes since I barely use anything in there and the fact that most of what is in there is clothes and old toys. Putting everything into bigger boxes will help reduce space instead of having everything in small boxes or in new at all.

2) Moving my dresser into the closet. It will still be used for clothes, but just not the clothes I wear all the time that will be used for the other dresser I have. The other dresser has a big open space where I have my TV and I use it's two drawers for video games.

3) New plastic drawers for those video games. Brought it from the apartments I work at; has three spots that can hold all of my games and it is small, which will hopefully make the room feel more spacious.

4) Clean underneath the bed and the futon, of course! There will definitely be a garbage bag or two with unwanted junk.

5) Rescrew the computer desk. The desk came from the apartments as well, it's slightly wobbly because everything is not exactly screwed in. Once that happens, I believe the desk will be used more... well once the printer gets some proper ink, it will.

6) The Canada flag will be tacked back onto the wall, some people remember it being there and wonder why it's not there. I believe I took it down when I painted the room blue, but I just haven't put it back up.

What do you guys think?
