MISSION: COMPLETE

Oh. My. Wooking. Yoda.
Can't even talk. Just look:

 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! It's done!!! Look at my MASS WOOKING AMAZING ROOM!!!!
Over the weekend we emptied my room pretty much completely and painted the dressers, bookshelves and walls white. After reassembling the room and adding those Jedily awesome bed covers, we finished everything else, resulting in the best room in human history.
Best features of the room:

• A wall of my favorite posters including Star Wars, the Addams Family and, yes, Albert Einstein

• my desk, dry-erase calender, greenboard and chair that the Youngling put together all by himself

(note the trash can!!!)

•  These cool green shelves that were at one point on my walls and now hold my Shakespeare books, plus the same bedside table and these drawers from my mom's computer area

• This fantabulous bed that cannot be described in words (Different note: Bear and Mallow came over to check out the room and literally could not stop rubbing their faces on the throw. They had to be lured away by the Youngling with stuffed animals and toy cars.)

• A RED DOOR!!!!

And last but DEFINITELY not least...

• This. I can't even describe how awesome this is. Thanks to the ever inspirational Pinterest, my mom found this design and replicated it with me and Caribou. In case you don't have supersight like the rest of us and can't see the picture very well, it's a heart of pictures. I utterly adore it. It's impossible not to smile around it. It's just awesome.

 



May the Force be ever in your favor,

Phase Two Status: COMPLETE

Yes, that's right folks, we're ONE WHOLE PART CLOSER TO THE END OF THE 2012 LeNERD BEDROOM REDESIGNING!!!!! (That's fun to spell)
After a full day at IKEA and Walmart, we have reached our $100 budget for the redesigning. Behold:

 These lovely bed coverings (black mattress cover for the bottom mattress, pink for the top one plus pink sheets, letter-y comforter cover and FUZZY GREEN THROW!!!! Also a crazy big assortment of pillowcases.)....

This utterly amazing colorful lamp...
4 corkboard squares, a calender whiteboard and a magnet board whose pictures refused to turn out...

AND THESE WOOKING AMAZING STAR WARS COLLECTER CARDS!!!!! Yayyy aw!!! We actually got three of these lovely little tins (one for me, one for the Youngling and one to Mod Podge on a wall or something), which each contain a pack of the most memorable ESB scenes and a pack of international Star Wars movie posters, all little-itized onto these cute little cards. The movie posters truly are awesome:

Hungary...

Spain...

Germany...

Japan...

and China.

Plus this cool abstracty USA one. Star Wars, will you never cease to amaze me?
We also painted those mismatchy dressers and attempted to paint the equally mismatchy bookshelves, but only the dressers turned out. They now match the future color of my room (i.e. cottage white) so they will kinda look like built ins, as will the bookshelves once we find good ones at IKEA.
On a separate note, the end of school is now two weeks closer! :D Okay, actually it's not that bad. My teachers, upon further inspection, are all better than mediocre and I found Pony's locker (yay for stalkerism!) with the help of his adoring, ah, fan, Cherry (who is also my friend, so I guess I won't go too in depth with that drama). My utterly least favorite class ever, gym, got actually tolerable this week, too. Since there's only like twelve boys in our gym hour, we switched classes so that it's now two all girl classes and one all guy class. And this is brilliant in every possible way. Having just girls means we have luxuries such as

• Yoga
• No football
• Kickboxing
• Nature walk (not quite sure what that is...)

HALLELUJAH!!!!
Lastly, my church's Youth Group kicks off tonight with our annual bonfire, which I am attending with Squid, Cherry and my lovely faux leather jacket that, according to the Youngling, makes me look like a Harley Davidson dude. I made some homemade (a.k.a. Bettie Crocker mix) brownies with a gourmet icing (a.k.a powdered sugar dumped in cool little lumps in various places). I'm sure they'll amaze. (Shhh... as far as anyone knows, they're homemade. And also fancy.)

Phase One Status: COMPLETE

Today I got a couch stuck in my car.
Behold:

Yep.
(See the cool deer picture under the couch? That's the Youngling's second-hand find.)
We eventually managed to get it out of the car with a considerably minimal amount of injuries and damages to both the car and the couch. Then it got stuck in the door. *Sigh*.
Once we finally got it up the stairs by sommersaulting it on its side, we were able to complete phase one of the 2012 LeNerd Bedroom Redesigning project:

ISN'T IT AMAZING?!?!
As you might've remembered, the couch is currently sitting exactly where my bed was, so obviously we had to move that too.

I honestly love it. It's extremely retro-y.
We also decided upon a color scheme and room theme (see what I did there? YES, I rhymed!!!). Like the couch, it's going to be retro-rocker with a tiny bit of modernism and possibly a tad steampunk. I lost on the walls; they're going to be moderny white, but I think that might end up being cooler than my ideal plan. We're also going to have neon green, pink, orange, blue/purple and black accents in various places, plus my wall of posters. YAY.
Me and Squid, while going through my excess of slightly ancient jewlery and hair things, created a new storage system for my headband collection:

The paper chain might be replaced with one that fits the color scheme a little better later on, but I adore the hanging headbands. It kind of ties a orginanized element of untidiness to the room. Can't wait until it's done.
On a seperate note, I watched the Star Wars Mahna Mahna for the 100th time today. Yay.

May the Force be ever in your favor.
