New project!

So even though school is near and there's a whole lot of school work to attend to, I've decided to take on a new project, that is re-decorating my room! I have been wanting to do this for ages and I actually planned to do it during the summer but I guess it's a little late. But better than never! :)

So I will be taking you through some of my DIY things that I will be doing to renovate my room. Some of these things will also go into my interior design project which is very exciting as well.

So unfortunately I don't have a complete before picture of my room :( which is silly, but for a little overview my room is quite small, we have two beds (but my brother is old enough now so he moved out of the room), and our walls are incredibly messy because we (me and my brother) when we were younger, put a whole lot of scraps and princesses and pictures and we even drew on the wall with crayons... so it's very messy. The wall is a warm white, but we also have like a wooden half-wall contrast thing, which is sometimes great but I find it quite annoying for some reason.

So right now, this is what it looks like. I only have two artworks so I am only putting those up temporarily (obviously I am not going to have a painting of Alex right there every day to look at in my room). I have some warm christmasy lights up, which I'm not sure this is how I like it but we will keep it there for now.

As you can see... my walls are stained by million sticky tape marks and random crayon circles, the result of a rebelish childhood.

The right hand wall (bigger than the left hand one)

So all day today I've been brainstorming on what I might do to the walls and the room in general. Here are a couple of my ideas so far:

Main wall:

• "Sleep is good" Light DIY Headboard (idea from here)
• Christmasy lights (already up, but may be rearranged)
• Huge rose/flower artwork (idea here)
• Random typography canvases and maybe some patterned ones
• Stenciled wall (the one on the left)
• Places I wanna go to canvases (idea here)
• Some sort of collage of lots of photos/polaroids & some framed goodness (like this one out of many)

Those are just some of the ideas in my head right now. Also I am going to be creating a Youtube channel with Alex soon... something we decided to do to spice up and make us more committed to each other a little bit haha. For that reason I will also need to organize and find a good place to film my videos and maybe some equipment to help filming as well. Here is a good tutorial for vlogging and such by jacksgap if you're interested.

By the way, I need help to choose a font for the headboard!!! I was thinking Lobster, what do you think?
