The same week I updated my living room and fabricked the walls <\/a>, I also made small updates to my bedroom. I hung room darkening curtains and finally<\/em> made a bed skirt for the bed frame. The bed skirt is made with the same fabric as on the walls in my living room which was half intentional. I\u2019ve owned this frame for eight years and for seven and 3\/4 years it has bothered me that the bottom was gaping open. It rises 18\u201d above the floor and I use the underneath for extra storage. My bed never felt finished even though I make it every day. Now it, and the rest of the room, are coming together beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been steadily making my bedroom my place of solitude. Last year I bought the half globe cantilever lamps by Ting Shen off eBay and the mirrors and side dressers from IKEA. In the summer I bought the headboard off Craigslist (brand unknown) added two duvets (used as one) and a new duvet cover with matching pillows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bedside Surfaces Left and Right<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have plans to make some aesthetic changes to the mirrors and side dressers, but for now I\u2019m shifting my attention to the color scheme and a chest of drawers that has been waiting patiently for me to finish the refurbishing I started on it six or seven years ago. Do you see a pattern? I\u2019m making good on a lot of projects that I didn\u2019t have time, energy, or money before (The Fabric Stash Challenge <\/a>is one of them)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The Jin Clan Palace, The Untamed<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve wanted a jade\/eau de nil\/teal bedroom ever since I saw the palace of the Jin Clan of Lan Ling, a fictional place from the tv series The Untamed<\/em>, done in all cool blue green. I thought I would hate it but I adored<\/em> it. I can\u2019t paint and I don\u2019t want to fabric all the walls so I chose to find the color in the curtains. I\u2019ve also been heavily influenced by this room style done by Wendy Morrison Design. I want this with touches of whimsy, French Provencal, and the natural world. If life could be a fairy tale, I want my bedroom to feel like an enchanted sleeping chamber. Though I\u2019ve enjoyed the green and pink — there\u2019s nothing I don\u2019t like about my current color scheme — I\u2019m ready for a change. I\u2019m leaning toward more blues and golds, but I haven\u2019t settled on anything just yet. For now, I\u2019m perusing duvet sets and quilts looking for inspiration. I\u2019d like to design my own, but I don\u2019t have the attention to give to that project at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Wendy Morrison Design<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As much of a fantasy place I want my bed room to be, it still has to have utility and to add that I\u2019d like to reupholster my sitting chair that was once pristine but three cats, two of which were kittens, later it has seen better days. I\u2019d also like a full length mirror that is at eye level so I can see my entire height. The mirrors framing the bed are there to add light and depth to the room. Lastly, I\u2019d like to refurbish the chest of drawers into a secretary\u2019s desk which I will use as a vanity station for manicures, general primping, and to serve as storage for all my wigs and hair accessories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Jump Scare<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A small change I\u2019ve made so far is to swap the foot locker and treasure chest at the foot of my bed for a long coffee table that was living in my storage unit. I\u2019d like to use this space for some lightweight keeping of something, but I\u2019m not sure what yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next two months I plan to make bring about these changes and possibly more. I feel grateful I have a place that I can rest my head at night and feel comfortable and safe. A place that is fitting to my taste and filled with things that delight me. The whole world should have that. Everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truly,
Claire<\/p>\n\n\n\n
