Personalizing Your Room

My room is me.

Throughout my years in art class, I've done a good bit of projects that I really like. I have them hanging on one of my room walls. One summer morning, I had the urge to cover the small area of a wall next to my door with construction paper. I've now got movie stubs, quotes from movies, music, and people, dove chocolate wrapper quotes, pictures, and plane tickets. It's a journey that I've recorded. My small drawer set (2x3) houses all of my accessories, makeup, hair products, and pictures.

In some people's rooms, it isn't too personalized. A computer, clothes everywhere, and a bed. in other people's rooms, you get a still life of the person.

Today I'm redecorating my door (the side facing the hall), and I wanted to give you guys some tips on personalizing every bit of your room.

Tip #1: Go for something totally you. My BFF Theresa covers her door with magazine pages of her favorite celebs. I, not into the whole celeb life, am going to cover my door with inspirational and favorite quotes, Dove chocolate wrappers, and other things that I love.

Tip #2: Do NOT use super glue or any sticky substances that will be incredibly hard to peel off when you're ready to redecorate.

Tip #3: If you live at home with your parents, don't put anything extra vulgar or scandalous...unless you want a lecture.

Tip #4: Have fun while you do it. If it's a pain in the ass, it'll look like a pain in the ass. Wait for motivation.
