Sometimes it's difficult for me to decide what to blog about. There are so many things bouncing around inside my head that I'd like to further dissect that it's hard for me to focus on just one. And I know that if I don't focus on one things will get a little crazy. Which I know this whole thought seems a little irrelevant seeing as I have but two other blog posts, but just know that is the extent to which choosing a specific subject plagues me. Often I find I just give up, and write nothing. Also we don't have internet yet so that is a contributer. Actually we have internet everywhere except my room.
I think my room would be a good thing to blog about. I am pretty excited about it right now. Today one of my roommates came back home with a big can of yellow paint and announced she was painting her room. I found this highly motivating for some reason. This is the part where I realized I wanted to live inside of a sea shell. Unfortunately Home Depot and the paints they carry do not share my vision because there is no paint called inside of a seashell. Some got pretty close - pink reef, ballet slippers, pink blush, Hawaiian shell. Also - side not - paint has amazing names. As a general rule. I can't imagine what I would do if I had a whole house to choose things for. It has taken me so very long to decide on things just for this little space I have. I mean the seashell part came right away but I did spend about 45 minutes walking up and down the paint aisles. Because paint looks very different in various lighting. It also changes upon juxtaposition amongst other paint colors. Finally I decided upon one called Southern Beauty. Here is a little link showing what it looks like, although that is not what it actually looks like here
So I have to paint my room. And I have a white quilt. Also I have a bookcase but I need to paint that too, I've decided. Also I'm still not sure what my general theme is, or if I can go with the seashell deal or if it can just be Things Emily Likes. Also, all the furniture I like has taglines like, "Great for your little princess!" and the reviews all start off with, "I bought this for my 5 year old"...so I'm not sure what to make of that. But the way I see it this is just my room and I will do what I want because I don't have to share it with anyone. And I think I have realized that I desperately want a vanity (very movie star of me, no?) but the one I want at target is currently unavailable. Here it is.
At first I was judging even myself because I mean really, what 22 year old needs a little white vanity with a little poofy stool when she already has closet doors that are mirrors that take up an entire wall of her room? What kind of grown up am I? But But then I thought about how 22 is not really too old for a vanity, after all, and it is sort of like a desk anyway, but shorter in length. Also I am thinking about how I will one day have a big fancy bathroom (I think when I am a real grown up I want my bathroom to be as big as my room) and then maybe I can just put it in there. It is an investment. So I shall have it. Except Target no longer has it in stock BUT I have instructed their website to notify me when it's available.
Also one day I will go back and make those links rather than web addresses. Not tonight. And one day I will post pictures of my new room. and maybe my home. These things are works in progress. Maybe that should be the theme of my room.
