Bedroom renovation, ho!

teylaminhSo, didn't get online yesterday for various reasons, mostly because we made a start on renovating/re-furnituring my room. Also a cabinet thing for the bathroom to store the towels better...
The general contents of my room, taking up space on the landing. This includes the stuff off the square stepped shelves, mostly in boxes (except the books, but those are elsewhere...). cushions, and all the videos that were under the bed. Also the ladder off the bed...
The wall under the window, which I haven't seen in years... ;)
That's my old bed... Also the CD holders, upended, before they go up on the wall...
Television, all on its lonesome... and a clothes rail.
All of my books, with nowhere to live...
Endless videos...
Boxes and boxes of stuff taking up room in the hall...
New bed! Bizarrely, I have the same quilt cover on it as I did the last time I moved the room around...
Computer, moved to the end of the bed...
New shelves, currently containing all the stuff that was previously on the shelves next to the computer, awaiting sorting...
Next will be to complete the new wardrobe... thing in my mum's room so I can have her wardrobe and we can get everything else in place - and turn my wardrobe into an entertaiment unit. ;) And then everything can go in. The bed had 20% off, so I used the extra money I saved to get a matching mirror, some lovely Paris prints, and a new wall light. When everything's in place I'm also going to re-paint and change the yellow voile curtains and go pale blue. The ceiling and dark blue curtains are staying, but I've somewhat outgrown the yellow now, so I'm going for a Parisian theme...
The only casualty was my keyboard, which was being temperamental yesterday by refusing to work... but it's fine this morning. Hurrah. I really didn't want to have to buy a new one, especially because I like this one, full of crumbs and bolognese sauce though it may be...
My back is killing me, so it's just as well I have another week off work. :)
It's quite bizarre sleeping under the window (and so close to the ground) and I get an entirely new perspective. I slept with the voile drapes closed yesterday because the moths and other beasties were in full force (two daddylonglegses in the kitchen in the space of an hour!), but now I get a full view of the sky rather than the opposite buildings... and I could hear the rain even better, which was nice... I could definitely get used to this.
Anyway, I have nine hours of Most Haunted to watch...

Speaking of ole Most Haunted, I'm working on re-drawing Derek, hence the lack of photos. Matthew Smith needs drawing & David Bull is missing some legs.

Heh. Legless David. :D Presumably because he's missing his Matthew and finding solace in the bottom of a bottle.
