healing gracie

So, I realized, I put a lot of depressing, traumatizing...well, not so happy stuff of here most of the time. This post is going to deviate from that a little...ok, a lot.

I am a person who loves color. I love to work with color, whether it is in graphic design, photography, scrapbooking, drawing, or interior design. Well, I have been in the process of trying to redecorate my room and add a little of me in there. Currently, most of what is in my bedroom are decorations delegated to me by the persons I live with. They are nice, but not my style. The color scheme is also somewhat dark, and where my room is in the basement I don't have much access to light. With a very limited budget (approximately $100) I decided to upgrade my room to fit who I am.

What is great is that I received my new comforter set today! Hooray!!! It is was a steal, too. An 8-piece set which comes with a comforter, bedskirt, two shams, two euro shams, and two decorative pillows...all that for $60. The colors for this set are a sage green, chocolate brown, and a pale tan color. I love it! And it will definitely brighten up my room.

One reason I decided to do this random changing up of my room kind of stems from taking care of myself. I wanted to create a pleasant, relaxing environment in that I enjoy being in...especially where I spend large amounts on time in my bedroom. I wanted to create an environment that had a part of me in it...that felt safe for me and has what I need.

I wanted to use colors that would be relaxing and patterns that were simple, not busy and dark. Oh, the full color scheme of my room is sage green and chocolate brown with rosy pink, green, brown and black accents. I would have gotten rid of the pink, but my walls are pink (not by my choice) and I do not think I can override a certain person's ruling on that.

Anyhoo, my comforter arrived today. There it was on my front porch. I was so excited to see it. Now I can get to work on my room.
