Room Make-Over Part 1

Since I moved into my new house (or room), I've been wanting to dress it up my way. You know, this is the first time that I got to have my own room and I badly wanted it to look brilliantly good hehehehe...

Just to give an overview of what this room had on the first day, hmmm.... a multi-colored printed curtain, a huge plain white wardrobe (cabinet), a king size bed, a broken study table, a wooden file organizer, another wooden thingy that I used as a storage, a green chair, a wall fan without a remote control and an AC unit. From then on, I plotted my plans for my room. And the very first furniture that I bought for my little paradise is a workstation:


A week after, I purchased this:
And up to now, I still can't believe that I survived my first 2 months here without a mirror in my room hahahaha.... being a kikay that I am... who would believe it? hehehehe.... Am I that confident with myself? Charus!

Also, I wanted to buy a new wardrobe cabinet since I don't like what I have now, it is soooo plain white and has a missing drawer. But we couldn't move the cabinet 'coz it's d*mn heavy. Arrgghhh! So, I just decided to clean it, put some decors and hopefully it would look better than what it was. My plan is to patch it with some Walt Disney Princesses stickers that's why I see to it that I buy at least 1 sticker a week. I have 4 now and still counting. For the missing drawer, I think I can just put some shoe boxes in it so as not to make the missing piece so obvious.

But there's one more missing item from my "initial" list, a chest drawer... a pink chest drawer hehehe...

Bad thing though, when I was about to buy it last Saturday, it was out of stock. When I asked the saleslady when will it be available, she said by October 2. She advised me to call the store by that day to confirm. Being an atat that I am, I called them up yesteday but the lady on the phone told me that the shipment would be delayed and it will arrive on the 21st of the month. Waaaahhhhhhh!!!! I can't wait that long. The lady told me that their other branch still has 9 stocks BUT it is located on the other side of SG that would cost me probably, I think, not less than 50sgd for a cab fare huhuhuhuhuhu.... Yun ngang workstation, tinaxi ko lang kasi namamahalan ako sa delivery fee nila and even asked for the help of my housemates to assemble it kasi mahal din ang assembly fee.. hmpfff!!! Kung alam ko lang e di sana, sinabay ko na yung chest drawer sa pagbili ko nung workstation kesehodang magkandakuba ako sa pagbitbit.

Anyway, my timeline for my room make-over is until the first week of November. That includes a new curtain, bedsheet, pillow cases and a side table with lamp with a touch of Christmas season. I still have 5 weeks and hopefully.... hopefully... I can make it.
