Dorm Room Planning and Pennant Bannering

Hello, Berries!

I was not expecting to blog again this soon,

but I am in the mood today!

So, an exciting thing happened yesterday,

for both my roomie and me.

We had coffee and a chat with our dorm mum

(or more appropriately, dorm grandmum),

and Feffy (which is my roommate) gets to move into her own room

after Thanksgiving break!

This was exciting for both of us,

since we are both introverts who like personal spaces.

We giggled like little girls! ^.^

Of course, this got me to planning what

I was going to do with the room in its entirety when she moves.

I love doing this kind of thing.

When I was in the 8th grade, I wanted to be an interior designer,

so I drew aerial sketches a lot.

Some kids in my class asked me to design their rooms, too.

I had a ball with it.

I obviously still do! lol

So, now, I have planned out what I will make this room look like

for next semester.

I am so excited!

I wanted to do something different from last year,

in a better more homey kind of way,

and I have figured it out!

So, (I start a lot of sentences with "so"...),

each dorm room comes with two sets of furniture,

a bed, a desk and a dresser for each side.

Last year,

I utilized both sets of furniture.

Next semester, (EEK ^.^)

I will move the extra dresser into the closet,

and the extra desk under the extra bed,

leaving me with two beds,

a desk I will use for my little kitchen area

and a dresser I will use for my T.V. and movies.

The dresser in the closet will be for my clothes.

This way I get to bring in a nice coffee table

for a little more warmth and a few extra pretties-

also for my puzzles,

which are stiffening to do in two square feet of floor.

I might also bring in a couple more pieces

alongside my queen anne chair and side table.

I love making my room pretty and cozy!

Speaking of,

I did a little DIY this past week. (;

I took an old book (one with an ugly cover I didn't mind ruining, of course),

from a thrift store and made a pennant banner out of it. :D

First, I completely destroyed the book. lol

I folded up the cover to make a triangle,

then I traced it onto stacks of pages and cut them out.

A friend of mine gave me some fishing line,

which I measured out and taped to the tops of the triangles.

Then I folded the tops of the triangles over the fishing line

to make them look a little neater.

I would have taken more pictures,

but the plumber came in to fix the bathtub when I was doing this. lol

I was caught a little off guard.

Here it is all finished.

Tadaa!

I'm proud of it. ^.^

The book I made it with is about spiritual gifts.

I think that's pretty cool.

Well, I'm gonna go do some more daydreaming now. ^.^

Thank you for stopping by,

and have an amazing day!

<3

Until next time,

Lots of Love,
