Hey Guys
So as I sit here in my new moon pajama bottoms while watching room tours, all I can think about is moving!
When my daddy was alive we lived in a really nice house and I had a perfect girly room plus a whole living room where I had a play kitchen and dolls and OMG it was amazing. After he died I basically lived downstair, I used to treat it as my little apartment, I had a baby born and she was my baby! I even bought her real baby diapers. I don't know if you guys can remember when target came out with all the baby swings and high chair things for dolls, but they were just like the real ones for babies but just smaller. I went crazy for that and my mom bought me the whole set. I WAS IN HEAVEN!
Sadly we had to move when I was 12 though and because we were moving from a big 2 story house to a small townhouse I had to get rid of my toys and also I was coming into my teen years. I was going to be starting middle school and it was time to grow up (or so I thought) so I sold my kitchen with the play food to a neighbor for 20 bucks and I went home and packed up my childhood.
The initial move was so sad because that was the house my daddy and his family grew up in and now the house I was growing up in too ( we moved there when I was 7). Also my dad died in that house to, like literally in our living room on the couch. :( It was very hard to leave that house and to this day almost 6 years later I still think about that house and I want to cry because I miss it so much. I think out of the 3 of us, my mom my brother and me, I took the move a little harder.
So now were at the house we live in now and I absolutely hate it. When we were first going to move here I was excited but since I've been here all I want to do is get out.
When we first moved here, I had a loft bed (for any of you that saw my room tour, you would know that my room is pretty small) so I had a loft bed that was a bunk on top it had a closet on it a desk, drawers and a pull out bed at the bottom. I also had a built in closet on the wall and a little dresser that my tv sat on. I like the bed sort of until, the heat came in. My room gets the most heat in the house and I hate heat! I would rather be cold.
That bed did not work out for me, so I convinced my mom to buy me a new bed set from the same furniture store, and they gave us a good deal because we donated my old loft to the lady who worked theres sister. Then I had a twin size bed a new huge dresser and a desk. I used the crap out of those furnitures (grammar check?)
I had that bed set up until Christmas 2009 and I got the set in 2006? maybe, not sure. Anyway I moved my room around like crazy. There is only so much you can do in a room as small as mine and let me tell you, I did it. My bed had literally circled the room every couple of months. Than a few months before Christmas my dresser broke and my bed and my vanity! So I needed new furniture. So as a Christmas present me my mom and my brother headed on down to ikea and bought me the set I have now. I really had wanted a pbteen bed that I saw, which had amazing storage but a it was way to expensive and b it wouldn't fit in my room. So i bought the bed I had and Christmas Eve Eve we started putting the room together, (me and my brother) and around 4am on Christmas we finished.
Now I have a few broken drawers but other than that I love my furniture. Its stylish and my bed is comfy, I have no complaints.
So now to the point of the blog post LOL don't you just love how I ramble. I'm a born writer! I could write all day! Anyways....
I hate my house and I want to move! I've been looking at real estate for 3 years and I've found some nice houses but my mom was never in the market to move. Now that Im graduating though were thinking about it and I can't be more thrilled! I love California but I wouldn't mind moving some place like North Carolina. My friends say thats some booty and I would hate it but I think I would love it. My mom not so much, she says if we move were staying here just maybe in another city.
So all i've been thinking about recently is moving and decorating a new room. I think I've done all I can to this room, so Im ready for a new one! My ideal room would be just this:
Good size with a walk in closet and my own bathroom with a shower and a tub. I would want to paint my walls teal with black and purple cheetah prints all over. I would get a full size bed (the one from pbteen) and I would have cheetah sheets and lots of cheetah pillows. I would get a little vanity and makeup drawers. A nice sized desk and I would keep my chair because its comfortable. I would have a lot of pictures on my walls, I like finding little treasures at ross! I would also have a mini bookshelf because I LOVE TO READ and a mini fridge to hold water and stuff. I would add more once I saw the room, but for the most part that's the room I really want. My mom knows what I want and she told me when we move she would try her best to make my dream a reality.
You might be saying, wait aren't you going to move out soon? and the answer is HECK NO TECHNO! Im only 17 im not going any where anytime soon! I told my mom I will be with her until I get married. I kid, but really Im not leaving yet. She's not getting rid of my that easy!
Anyway I want you guys to tell me what your dream room would be and maybe we can talk about decorating tips and tricks together! Ok guys im going to bed now it almost 1 am and I have school in 7 hrs. Night Night
