This year - well actually, last year - I decided I was going to retake the master bedroom in our apartment. Calm down, it’s not as glamourous as it sounds. It’s very anti-fab and has very reduced closet space. I KNOW. But yet, it’s bigger and more comfortable.
My brother and I have been fighting over this room since the day we moved into this apartment when I was 9. Since at the time my brother had a bigger bed he was given the bigger room. And I didn’t have too much, so I was comfortable in the small room.
Frank moved out when he was in high school. And I moved in. I loved that room. I had a couch in there, a huge dresser, a desk (for the first time)… it was amazing. My friends would come over, and we’d *ahem*smoke_pot*ahem*.
Then, I moved away to college, Frank moved back in and HIJACKED my room. So, Frank moved out again… and now I retook this room.
But really, the reason I needed/wanted the new room was because I needed new space for my new flatscreen tv that I got for Christmas. And there was no way it was going to fit in my old room. In the master bedroom, I acquired a new piece of furniture and another shelf. So I win again.
The switch was made on New Years’ Eve. I said Fuck it! I have to work tomorrow and not going out to get sloshed… might as well . So I started moving crap around and this was the result:
 |
| A huge pile of clothes... that I pushed into the closet. |
 |
| All my crap. |
 |
| My desk. Yes, those are empty rum bottles. They have hot boys on them. |
 |
| I chat on a Mac. |
It took me basically the entire day to fix both rooms. Because I couldn’t just throw Frank’s remaining things into the room without some sort of organizing. So I packed, unpacked and set 2 rooms all before 2010 ended. And by 11:50 PM CST I was asleep. Fuck you, don’t judge me. I was tired, and had to go to work the next day.
Here’s the nice result:
 |
| Everything in place. |
 |
| Reduced closet space. |
 |
| The reason I HAD to move. Yes, I watch cartoons meant for 8 year olds. |
 |
| And my bed. |
All I have to do now is paint. But I don’t know what color. Suggestions?

Nice job. I love organizing and cleaning up my apartment too, I'm such a nerd. Do you get a lot of light in the room? I think a nice bright or light green/blue would look nice.
PS-- I love Arthur!
And I just realized I used the word "nice" three times in that comment. Wow.
hooray for high def cartoons
@Tsa, it does get alot of sunlight. the window faces east. So I might try a green. I've had blue walls before and didn't really like them.
And hell yeah! Arthur is the shit!
From your bedding, I think a light purple could work as your wall color but that might make it a little too young. What do you want to have your room be, a place to relax or your personal space where it's all about you?
And I doubt your brother would want a room painted purple if he tried to steal it back. Haha.
