Lavender's Blue

Fun stuff I did this weekend: Revamping the Bedroom!!! Not mine, of course - firstly, it's too big and (overwhelmly) full of random stuff from since I was in Primary school, and secondly, the roomate i.e. the sis will want a say in everything and we would probably be arguing for one full day before any work was done.

Anyway, I digress. The Saturday was spent revamping the BF's little cosy HDB bedroom! Ahh, the things you can do with a 10sqft space! Haha..okay actually not a lot, given the standard 1980s colour-matched 5-piece bedroom furniture set that had settled in since, well, the 1980s.

I must say, though, the 25 year old furniture did hold up pretty well despite our banging around. And the highlight of it all.....after shifting the humongously GREY and BORING wardrobe that had been fastidiously kept in the same position (as were the other furniture).....we revealed an astonishingly lovely LAVENDER coloured wall that brightened the room up immediately!!!

Kudos to his mom with the eye for such a colour. Although I don't think it is a usual shade for a guy's bedroom.... :S But nevertheless, I LOVE IT!! haha..especially since the frequency of illegal weekends have increased. heh heh.

Okay pictures pictures!

BEFORE:

RESHUFFLING IN PROCESS:

Unveiling the awesomely coloured wall...and a thick carpet of 25 year old dust!

Yup..that was only part of the very substantial amount of dust cleared that day!

AFTER:

Isn't it amazing what colour can do?! And that was just one out of the 4 walls. Which was frankly, quite enough of lavender haha. The other 3 walls were spray painted with egg-freckles on a cream base.

Well, of course we didn't just started shifting furniture on a whim. That 2 feet space beside the bed was artfully-planned out in preparation for better things to come. I only just found out that my older bro threw out his 1 year old Queen-sized mattress for a new one because it was too soft.  Pfft!!! Seriously!!

Too soft!!! That won't be an issue for me!! (in the near future at least..i hope) And poor unvertically-challenged WL has been squeezing on his 20 year old tilam all these years. So, of course, it didn't take a genius to come to the most economical and logical solution.

Can't wait for the new chestnut-coloured bedframe to arrive!! And we get to throw that whole grey cupboard/bedframe thingy away...like FINALLY. *Major sense of satisfaction*

Don't think we'll be getting a place of our own until the next 5 years - unless we get a resale flat - since we're really keen on new flats and not that in a rush. So, i'd say this is a really nice and much-needed investment for the overworked/under-rested BF.
