As I mentioned on my New Years Resolutions post, I plan to taking photos and documenting various Before/After projects. My first choice was a fairly simple transformation. When I got home, I took some photos of my desk, which has never been decorated and was not cleaned before I left for the break. Here you can see it in all of its plain glory:
The desk is rather cluttered and messy!
So, while watching a wonderful movie (bonus points of you recognize which one!) I decided to clean and decorate. I kept it pretty simple, just took of the garbage/dishes and all unnecessary accesories, added some candles and friendly decorations, and put stuff on the walls. I figured that my wall choices should be things I like to look at, so I chose the world and my postcards!
It's still basic and has the same general layout, but it is, in my opinion, more pleasing to the eye. I have to keep it pretty bare to accommodate my future dishes (which I hope will not stack up, but instead just be present during meal times).
I think it was a successful first attempt at documenting the cleaning of my bedroom. Plus it was clean and easy, which works well for my semi depressed mood (that whole school/work tomorrow thing)...
I actually think that what I learned most from this post was how to put photos up. My oh my is that not as easy as it should be! Anyone have tips on how to make adding photos to a post easy?
The weird spacing is, I believe, a result of the difference between the width of the posting place and the actual blog. I could, in theory, mess around with it and find how many spaces is necessary to make it line up here, in comparison to lining up on the draft page, but that's too difficult.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that the before looked pretty neat. But I like your creative use of space with the map in the after. Good work! Keep it up mon amie!
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I was amazed the map fit in there so well!
ReplyDeleteyou know, I had no idea that you even had your computer set up. YOU DONT LET ME SEE YOUR ROOM! I have not seen your room. But I like the map. I want to do the same.
ReplyDeletealso, nice touch with the Rostock Pride shots on your desk!
