A couple of weeks ago I was browsing on the IKEA website looking at all the things I want but can't afford to buy. While just playing around, I all of a sudden stumbled upon something that I realize is basically what I'm trying to do with my bedroom. Unfortunately, the website wouldn't let me "save image", so I have to link to the IKEA website itself. If you go here, then at the bottom click on "Orient Express" (the orange one), you'll see it.

subdermalglow,

sleepykins, and

tanyad will, I think, see my vision, as they helped with last year's Big Redecorate (read: clean) Amy's Room project.

fictionslave and

strawberry83 may also be seeing the vision, as they were here when the discussion of paint was first had. I got some paint chips, by the way, I just need to find them.

Except this is the bedframe I've been wanting. It even has matching bedside tables. I already have a yellow-ish mosquito netting that

subdermalglow and

priestlygoth got me for my birthday last year. This is what my bedroom at the old apartment looked like about a year ago.

I have no idea how I'm going to do this 1) on a CPT stipend, and 2) disabled. I was hoping to lobby for IKEA gift cards for my birthday from my family, but it didn't happen, even remotely. Before my mom left for Palestine, she was making noises like when she got back she might just buy me the damned bed frame, but so far.... nothing. But we'll see. I'm pretty excited about the idea of doing something pretty to my bedroom.

Please note: I will be recruiting. Raise your hands if you want to help. Please also note that I still have five boxes that need to be unpacked. Bleh.

I have no good way of ending this post. So I'm just going to go away.

Bye.
