Bedroom Overhaul, presented by IKEA

So....It's been a while hasn't it? I hope you did not miss me too much, but just enough to where you'll care that I've posted something new.

I've decided that it is time to redo my room. Really, this project all started with the idea of me replacing my bed, which I've had for a VERY LONG TIME. The bed itself is in good condition, but the mattresses replicate quick sand for its unsuspecting victims.

I looked high and low and found a bed I liked at Ikea but it came as a double. The bed I currently use as a clothes storage spot is a twin. So, it was decided (by me) that the room needed to be rearranged, so that the new bed, and a new bookcase (also from Ikea and some other odds and ends) could fit, without sacrificing too much space. So, the clean-a-thon began.

Any of you unfortunate souls who have been to mi casa have no doubt been shown my hell-hole of a room. Since I took to sleeping on the futon in our family room about a year or so ago, it has only gotten worse. Yes, I do mean it could get worse.

For the last 2 weeks or so, I have been diligently cleaning my room from top to bottom, dusting, sorting, donating, wheezing, sneezing, and everything else that is usually involved with a massive spring cleaning. Tonight, I entered Boss Stage: The Deplorable Dusty Corner.

This corner is the one place that has never been easily accessible in my room, no matter how things were moved. So, as a result, it has only been useful to collect dust. And boy, was there DUST.

I armed myself with the can'o'air I'd bought just for such an occasion. It had worked very nicely when it came to dusting the tiny collection things I have in various locations in the room. However the Deplorable Dusty Corner has proven to be too strong of a challenger. I was chased out by the clouds of dust and the taste of the bitterant used in the can'o'air (it is meant to deter kids from trying to use the air to get high) and am recuperating as I type this. I cannot go in there to finish tonight's challenge, but tomorrow is another day.

On the brighter side, the break will give me a chance to level up my pokemans :)
