Oh My Darling, Clementine

There's a light at the end of the tunnel! Classes are finishing up within the next two weeks and I'm excited for everything to be done. It's hard to believe that this will be my last fall semester in school, and I'll be graduating in less than a year. In a way it' seems so surreal and unbelievable. Even though I'm excited to start the next chapter of my life, at the same time it seems so daunting and scary.

Anyways, onto a more positive note: About a month ago I discovered this home planetarium by Gakken. I think it's the most pretty thing ever. When trying to come up with a wish list for Christmas, the only thing I keep thinking about is this darling planetarium to geekify my room. How adorable is this gadget? I think it casts a very beautiful light in a dark bedroom. And I wannnt so bad! I seriously drool over these pictures every few days.

Just A Boy

Ever since I started living on my own, I've been searching for ways to decorate my room and apartment. As a student, it's really important to find inexpensive ways to decorate, and as a renter, decorations that don't damage the walls too much. After living at my apartment for a few years, I've found a few trusty ways to decorate on the cheap. 

One of my absolute favourite ways to decorate is the use of Christmas lights. I used to have a string of white lights on my headboard moved them outside for summer decoration (and I'm pretty sure they're damaged now because it has been outside in the rain). Now that the Christmas hype has started, I'm hoping to find a longer string of white lights to put on my walls to give my room a magical and romantic glow. Here are a few pictures I'm using for inspiration:

If You Rescue Me

I'm sick. A mere day after moving. Time to start popping vitamin C pills like skittles and keeping tissues with me wherever I go. I'm not fond of being sick, especially when in such close proximity to strangers in class, sneezing and sniffling. There are some nice things about being sick though, like using it as a crutch to get out of things you don't enjoy, like school work, people you don't like and getting up early. 

It's been a while since I did a decor post, and seeing as I'll be in bed with the sniffles, a bedroom post seems appropriate and fitting. LivingEtc just oozes decor inspiration, which is what my bedroom is in need of.

Wordsworth's Ridge

Lately, I've been so fixated on the colour blue in bedrooms. I know it sounds random, but I was looking at a photograph of London's Tower Bridge, and eyed the grey and blue colour of it, which got me thinking about grey and blue colour pallets. .A nice robin's egg blue is such a calming and peaceful colour that looks beautiful in a bedroom.

White Room

As of late, I've been watching a lot of HGTV (don't make fun!), more specifically, House Hunters International. It's a pretty decent show, and it really makes you think about what you want in a new home. After getting a taste of different houses around the world, I've been warming up to the concept of white bedrooms with white walls, furniture and fixtures.

My Humble Abode

Yesterday I decided to take some pictures of my room at school. I'm always so obsessed with keeping it fresh and adding new things because I easily tire of having my room looking the same. The atmosphere that I'm trying to attain is one of relaxation and romance, especially with the lighting wrapped around my headboard. Most of my furniture is from Ikea, from the Aneboda series. I could honestly spend an entire day in Ikea swooning over the furniture. Back to the point, this is my room! More posts to come!
