a) painted the walls
b) built a girlie canopy
c) got a fabulous rug
Painting will not only require landlord permissions, but disassembling and moving my furniture out of the room for a few days, an incredibly tall ladder and probably $60 worth of paint. Building a girlie canopy I thought would be easier, but alas, my idea with discount window sheers won't work without assembling hardware, which I'm not willing to do. Something about hardware I installed myself above my head while I dream sweet dreams is not a restful thought!!
So, I decided to lust after gorgeous rugs online and hope one was on clearance. Well, it wasn't at all what I was looking for...
This little guy was just over half off at $9.99 and most importantly, it made me laugh. (If you haven't figured it out yet, the sole purpose for buying a lot of things is that it makes me laugh or smile spontaneously.) So, I purchased it. Wouldn't you know? It made a HUGE difference over the grey rug that used to be there!!!
I've decided color is exactly what that room needs, and maybe I could get by with it not being on the walls after all. I'm going to try my hardest to save up a little cash and scout clearance sections so I can buy a bit of colorful bedding. Stay tuned!!
