welcome to my box

So for this week's entry, I decided to do something a little different! I thought it would be cool to show my bedroom.
I like space, as I'm sure a lot of people do. I remember it was a big deal when my family moved into our current house nine years ago. I was in grade four, and I was allowed to pick my room. I chose one of the rooms at the back of the house - thinking about it now I have no idea why I picked the room I did - and that space has been mine ever since.
My room is small. It's 100 square feet, 10 ft by 10 ft; it's a little box, hence the name. I used to care a lot about the size, even dream about ripping out walls and putting on an extension (true story). now that I'm older, I've come to appreciate the space I have, because it's my space.

Everything in my room reflects my personality. I've covered the walls with things that I like, things that inspire me, giant Es and picture frames. Everything is bright and happy and screams Emily. Take a look :)

I have a make shift headboard - a combination of inspirational things, my artwork, some pictures, and friendly reminders. Ikea is my favourite store in the whole entire universe, just saying :)

The wall behind my door. A nice little spot for my lists, a birthday balloon from a special someone, another friendly reminder, coats for all weather and a picture frame waiting to be filled.

I like open storage, even if that means clutter. At least it's organized clutter! Movies, old birthday cards, clothes, Jones Soda, Transformers, Toy Story 3, best cereal ever & two identical cameras, neither of them are mine :)

My workspace. Computer, homework, Crayola lava lamp, Roller Coaster Tycoon disc. The usuals.

So that's basically it. Hope you enjoyed this episode of Cribs.. just kidding. Welcome to my box.

Emily :)
