Working on my hall room
Today I went back to school to do clean up my room and I spent the whole day painting the room myself. I got a can of white paint, and repainted the whole room white, covering all the yellow patches and hair-line cracks. The job took several hours, but I am satisfied with the work I've done.
It's not really done yet, I spray-painted the fan white (to cover all the rust), and cleaned out the whole room. What it really needs now is that personal touch and custom furnishings. School starts tomorrow and I still have no roomie. Well, at least I still have time to work on the room.
Over at Ikea, I bought scented candles and the matching bed sheets, a Seahorse comforter (those darn Friven and Jean Perry sheets are just too expensive.) But I was really tempted by those Royalty-looking goden threads!
I got Seahorse sheets, an electric UV-bug-zapper, scented candle lantern and my water-fountain. Well, it's 80% done, I haven't added a nice warm incadescent lamp nor have I added curtains. Do I want to add on to the extra cost?
I got a cheap water-fountain, but it was ugly, so I spray-painted it silver, and now it's just so Zen....

Before, a bare cold room.

Dirty and rusted fan.

After: Cleaned, spray-painted.



Water-fountain: Before.

My Zen water-fountain and scented-candle lantern...
