Anyways, I’ve been looking for a perfect orange duvet cover since last winter season. Finally, I have found it. It’s reversible too so if I want more orange in my life or less orange in my life (as if!). It has a cool pattern on it so it’s a nice touch rather than just plain orange. I’m happy so far and cannot wait for it to arrive in the mail. I saw it, clicked purchased without a second thought. So we’ll see if the quality is good or not. I’ll just let it go if it’s not good quality but I will not be a happy camper since it took me forever to find such bedding!

Ever since I was a little girl I dreamd of having my very own bookcase. A couple years ago, my father came home one night with a huge bookcase in his truck. I remember I loaded all my books, magazines and memorabilias in it. As of today, I still have this bookcase (pictured on the left) and honestly, it’s my favorite part of my room.

I want a bookcase in my apartment but I’m afraid there isn’t much room. I also want to make my bookcase look nice with bookends and decorations of picture frames, vases, etc. It’s a lot more versatile. Also there’s some really cool cubbies bookcase around. The options are endless!

But then, the idea of a wall shelf is kind of exciting too. The only down side is that you have to punch holes in your wall. …Which I accidentally already did. I made two huge holes when I was installing my shelf. It was perfect but my shelf was shabby so I ended up returning it but my wall still has two holes. Maybe I should use a bookshelf to hide it until I have to move out and fix it up. Also it adds something on my wall since it’s so bare.

The main thing right now is that I have all my accessories in these bowls and makeup in a box and I need a place to store them besides the ground. I need a need vanity area without the expensive vanity table and stool. The lack of room is pushing me toward the shelves because it’s off the ground and the wall has tons of room but I like the idea of a bookcase. If I get a big bookcase, I don’t really have anything to put in it as of now because my desk has a very small built in bookcase on the side. Oh, what to do?

Anyways, I’m not much of a decorating person even though I always wanted to. I went to Target and found a bunch of tableware that was on clearance. For $1.99 a piece I grabbed a couple of pretty clear bowls and cups. I sorted them by earrings, headbands, necklace, bangles (which I own like 30+ and I only have two arms!). I don’t have a picture right now but I swear I’ll upload one when I do. I’m not done organizing since I left half of my accessories in my apartment and I’m currently living at home with my parents. Try to imagine it. Think – Forever 21 accessories branch store. They sort everything in bowls. Yes, I admit I stole their idea but when have they ever had an original idea themselves. It’s like an open jewelry box; let’s just hope no one robs me! Knock on wood!

Next – de-cluttering my closet. Oh boy…

I have a huge white bed frame. I have orange bedsheets, pillows, blankets, etc. Black furniture is out of the question because I would not want to sleep in Halloween all year long. My night stand is white, my bookshelf is white…but my desk is.. I don’t know. I have not bought a desk. I want an oak desk but that wouldn’t match. So I have to get a white desk. But I don’t want it all white, white, white! What to do? The fact of non-matching furniture irks me. My OCD will kick in all night long and I will get no sleep at all.

I want to go for an orange, oak, white themed room. But it’s so hard for me to wrap that idea around my head. I’m going crazy looking at room decor magazine and show rooms to see if anyone else has done this and if it looks good. I look at my favorite Sex & The City apartment and nothing matches – but I love it. Should I just go with the flow and see how it ends up being? Whay should I do?! I feel like I have to stick to an all white room but I want some oak in there – but what shade of oak, maple or whatever should I get? Hmmm. I have a headache.
