                So this is where it all starts. Why I am fixed on re-decorating a bed room for my daughter. Why I want her to be able to have her own comfortable space to have as her own, to do her own thing. Well first of all, when I was a little girl I never really had my own room. My room consisted of a mattress thrown on the floor and grandma flower wall paper on the walls and a blanket tacked on the window for a curtain. My mom always wanted to redo my room for me but we just never had the money. Don’t get me wrong I still had friends over to stay the night, well, believe it or not my room was actually a lot nicer than my friend’s rooms and they actually liked my room.

                Throughout the years after me graduating, I bounced from apartment to apartment trying to find my place in the world and I’m telling you they weren’t great, they weren’t even good actually. Small, on the very top floor, slanted ceilings, crappy everything. Because they were never anything I could call mine, I was never allowed to paint or rip rugs up or tare walls down. But now that I own my home on my nice chunk of land, I can do whatever I want to. So there are a few different reasons as to why I so desperately want to do this room. I want my children to have more than what I had when I was little. Not necessarily materialistic things, but a home that they can feel comfortable in for the rest of time, no matter how old they are they can still come home, somewhere they can have their own space/quiet time away from siblings. Now that I have my own room that I have designed to satisfy my wants and needs of a room that I have always wanted, I love being in my room, it’s beautiful and I sleep very well at night, this is what I want my daughter to feel like when she walks into her room too.
