My new creation and my room..

As I mentioned previously I was excited that my creative juices were flowing!

This is what I made:

They're wall hangings!!

I've had the canvas and fabric sitting in my room for a few months now, and it was driving me crazy!! So today, whilst in a creative and cleaning mood, I pulled them out and thought, RIGHT! That's it, I'll do them now. And that's what I did. I think it's the quickest.. and one of the best decisions I've ever made, because now I can sit there, looking at them and think, "I made them, I went and got all the materials, including the idea from my very own brain!!!"

I wasn't sure how to stick the fabric to the canvas, but in the end I used staples and thumbtacks as I didn't have anything else!

The canvases cost around $10 each, and the fabric about $10 for three metres, and I had plenty left over!

That means that I spent a total of $40, or about $13 for each piece. So happy with that!

They turned out fantastic and look sooo good on my wall.

Here's a picture on them in action:

If your next sentence is "they're not in line" then you're correct! They're not, but I never intended them to be.

I believe it adds to the atmosphere of the room.

They're also a bit wonky in this picture *grr*.

And with this creation, comes my boost to continue looking into a career in Interior Design!

Not sure where to do it, TAFE or a specialised school.. but will update you when I find out!!

I thought, since my room is looking so great now, I will post some pictures!!

Oops a bit blurry but oh well.

This is my gorgeous bed with my NEW wall hangings above. YAY!

My bookcase with all my little knick knacks together in 'displays'.

So much better since I got rid of my two huge piles of magazines.

The carebears were a present from my boyfriend which he got me at the royal show, I've got my handbag fund (which is empty because it's too pretty to break and thats the only way to get money out!), candles, perfumes, my sex and the city box set, monsters inc dvd, all my library books, and my own books down the bottom, a breast cancer love bear and two holy items- my back up hard drive and the bible, one which I received on my Year 12 graduation. It has the school's emblem embossed on the front. Something to keep forever.

My beautiful lights.

They look so amazing when the lights are off and give the room real ambiance.

My entertainment area.. 

My dressing table, more perfume, a beautiful jewellery box, picture of me and my gorgeous boyfriend in the background and pictures of friends and myself!

My forever friends 18 bear. Head got cut off :(.

On top of my diary I never write in, but all of the jewellery I wear is pictured.

Love love love it!

My bedside table- beautiful faux roses, again a picture of my boyfriend, Callum, and myself, my eye mask, hand cream and my new book I'm reading;

"Debt Free, Cashed Up and Laughing" 

So that's my room in enough detail for now.

It's almost perfect, just have to put up my floating shelves (chocolate colour just like all the furniture... mmm chocolate...) which will hopefully be tomorrow!

Then my shelves won't look so cluttered and I can play with my 'displays'.

I think I'm meant to be an Interior Designer.. I just love making things look pretty, and get such joy out of it.

Hope everyone's having a great Friday night.

I'm almost on the mend now.. still a bit chesty and sniffly, but nothing a few cuddles from the boyfriend can't fix up :).
