Abode

I would really like to take a nap right now, but for some reason, I can't sleep.
I cleaned my room last night...all night. And for those of you who know me well, you understand that an undertaking that was. It felt good, I guess. But one thing I hate about a clean room is that everything you do AFTER you clean your room makes it a little messy. And it sticks out like a sore thumb because the rest of the room is clean! This could be my excuse to keep my room messy, but I think I might be a big girl and try to stay neat and organized. Affirm me for my lofty yet noble ambitions.



I love sunflowers. I have some on my desk in a vase, and some in a vintage book bag on my new shelf (courtesy of Tia Peterson upon her moving out of Courtyards). I really like this new bookcase and what I decided to do with it (i.e. store books). But I also have my scarves and clutches "neatly" stacked on the second shelf.


I finally put my clothespin memories back up that I had hanging last year. If you give me a card or draw me a picture that I like, you can bet it will end up on the clothesline. I got the idea from InStyle, I think. Or Better Homes and Gardens? Maybe it was Real Simple. I like those magazines.

Lastly, my favorite part of my room is the front door (I guess I like to think of my tiny residence hall room of an actual house) where I have put up my signed David Bazan poster and Andy Warhol print to give the impression that I'm actually cool. I've also put up a bulletin board (against the rules) for my necklaces and keep my jewelry on the shelf under it.

So, now that you've all seen how cute this all is, you must encourage me to actually keep it up. It's your friendly duty. I think I'm ready for that nap now.

P.S. Sorry for the low-quality pics, but one of my friends who moved to New York also moved my digital camera with her.
