Room inspiration + great reads!

These days, when I'm done with school and homework, and I have a few minutes to spare, I open my laptop to search for furniture and wall decor for my room.
You guessed it, I'M RE-DECORATING MY BEDROOM!
I am soooooo excited about this.
Re-decorating a room implies a certain amount of organization, as you can imagine- so I've been sorting through those papers we all stash somewhere with the hopes that they'll disappear on their own.

Do you have any DIY room decoration projects that you'd like to share with me? I've found several, like this heart shaped photo collage:
Tacked photos in the shape of a heart - so cute, so easy to do! Teen Only Hang Out Room by Em Design Interiors.

and this tassel garland:
Paper Tassel Garland



The other thing that I've been doing a lot these days (actually, these nights) is the immensely pleasurable experience of crawling in bed and reading the books of my choice. I underlined that because it's a TRUE LUXURY for me to have the liberty to read whatever I frickin' want.
The reason for that is that NO teachers, at the moment, have assigned me a book to read.

I finished reading The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie (highly recommended) a few days ago and am now reading It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini.

What are you reading? Anything noteworthy?

  4. I really love that heart collage and tassel garland. My room is so bare and I really want to do some redecorating to it as well, so maybe this will be my inspiration to finally get off my butt and start decorating. I hope you enjoy It's Kind of a Funny Story, though. I've heard fantastic things about that book and I heard today that the author committed suicide in December and it's so sad :( Happy 2014! <33

    1. Oh my gosh! That is so sad! I had no idea! It's especially weird because in the book Craig (the hero) wants to commit suicide! :((

      Happy 2014 to you too :) <3

  5. Now I absolutely want a heart collage. It would be awesome...I hope that you have fun redecorating your room and at the same time ending up with an awesome result. :)
    I'm reading a book called "The Ladies' No.1 Detective Agency" by Alexander McCall Smith, and it's great.
    I love your blog, Carmen!
