My orange polka dots room!!!!

March 28, 2012

Yay!!! After procrastinating for years, the 'room revamp' post is finally here!

I still remember I wanted a room revamp way back during 2008, and at that point of time my room looks super dull and boring (plus abit hideous lol) thus I wanted a revamp! But all the expenses for the revamp will be all paid by myself, so I've to plan out everything and keep it within my budget.

So during 2008, I gotten all the furnitures that I think that I need and painted the room myself. And over the years, I keep changing and shifting the placement of all my furnitures and also gotten somemore furnitures (1 more additional wardrobe and 2 cupboard drawer) to add on to what I already have.

So what you guys see now is the current state of my room and it's just a really simple room, nothing over the top or anything but at least it's decant looking now after the revamp! Okay!!! Picturessss!!!!

The view of my room as you enter it.

The left view at the other side of my room.



typicalben room overview 3

And the right view at the other side.

As you guys can see my room is painted in orange and with white polka dots all over!!!

I'm super loving it up till now cause it's both what I really love (orange and polka dots)!! The orange base is painted all by myself and the white polka dots is with the help of my bffs (Ting & Angie). We kinda use 2 different size round shaped container to draw them all over the wall then paint them in white after that, which is a pretty tedious job and I obviously did alot more than them since it's my room right.

And the theme of my room is based on orange and white, so all the furnitures are all white (since my wall is in orange), and initially my curtain used to be all white and even my arm chair as well! But I kinda changed it over the time, so my current arm chair is now black though but it still looks good!


Okay, going 360 degrees from anticlockwise of my room you have....

typicalben room drawer cupboard

Beside it, is the 2 new cupboard drawers that I just got!



Inside the left cupboard drawer:

typicalben room cupboard drawer details 1

First drawer (left) consists of:
[clockwise] Face related products (eg. lip balm, concealer etc.), eyes related (contact lens, solution & cases), hair related products, all the perfume and then all my invisalign aligners set.



typicalben room cupboard drawer details 2

First drawer (right) consists of:
[Top] All the random stuff like mouth wash etc.
-
[Bottom] All the different products that I never use or didn't get to use yet.

Cause some of them above are like gifts and stuff so I never really use them, or it's just facial products that I buy but end up never use them at all cause I'm always very lazy to do so!

So I now never buy any facial products already cause it will be just a waste of money as I know that I won't use it! And for those people who kept asking what facial products I use, I basically just use facial cleanser to wash my face and toner/advancer after that (currently using Bio Essence's bird nest series for both).
