Go To Your Room!
Written & Photographed by Naraelina Ordinary
I was sitting in my empty room and just looking around for hours, trying to figure out what to do. Miss Gracie had just asked me to do an interior based around kids and Christmas and I had jumped at the chance. Now I sat there and I was stuck. How could I possibly go about doing this? Where was my inspiration?! I had sighed and started mentally going through my lists of furniture and decor that I owned. I had a lot... BOY do I have a lot. Slowly I started throwing things into the room, looking for that one thing that I could base the room around. I was going through my Arcade stuff when I came across the adorable white cabinet from DIGS. I then found a little whale painting from floor plan and I decided to throw that into the room on top of the cabinet. They were all I needed to get my room started. Using the cabinet and the art as inspiration, I started putting things out one right after another. I had a vision of an ador-
able little kids room, messy, but fun, full of artistic things, full of art, movie posters, games and books. Very much like the room I had growing up. I cluttered the room up, put little knick knacks everywhere, making it feel real and lived in. This was a kids room, a kid excited for christmas, a kid who had hid her presents in her closest, a kid who hung her christmas cards from her friends and family everywhere, and a kid with a love for christmas movies. Two, maybe three hours later, I sat back and looked around. It was actually done, and it was just how I had pictured it. Happy with how it had come out, I started taking pictures, while my Mom came in and pretended to faint at the sight of the mess and my little art on my wall. I had originally only planned on doing the room for Miss Gracie, but I decided then that I’d leave it down for the rest of the year. I do hope you all enjoy!
