Everything is changing around me.
I've made a conscious decision to make a change to my environment.
What does this entail? A lot of things.
For starters I've been living in an apartment that was overcome by the mess of technology that inhabits it. It is time to put some order to the chaos and establish some theme to the decor. I've got bits and pieces of furniture that don't belong together. Why not? My kitchen table is stained a blonde color, my futon's frame is unstained, my desk is an oak shade. And then there is my entertainment center and matching bookshelf which are both stained a cherry color. I've also got a blonde filing cabinet between the desk and futon. Geeze, what I wouldn't give for advice from an interior designer at this moment. ;) I'm half tempted to go out and hire one just for a little insight.
To continue on the apartment issue the stuff on my walls has no rhythm either. White walls with various paintings everywhere. I'm considering getting a long mirror to put against the wall over my futon, that might give the illusion the room is bigger as a result. The only unfortunate part is that the paintings that ARE up are sentimental in some way. I may move them into the bedroom,but at this moment I'm unsure. Hrm.
Hell, I've got a digital camera. Guess I should snap some photos and post them seeking opinions from the LJ peanut gallery. ;)
