the beginning.

Hi, my name is Caroline, and this is a carefully thought out, well planned, and highly creative experiment... yeah, right.

 

Seriously though, I have no interior decorating experience, no blogging experience (unless facebook and twitter count), and practically no money. I am a poor college student whose parents recently moved from Washington, DC to about an hour outside Raleigh, North Carolina. 

This is my way of dealing with leaving my high school friends and memories behind.

As I prepared for the movers to pack up my stuff, I looked around my tiny 9x12 room and realized: my furniture looked boring, my bedding was immature, and my room felt like.. well, someone other than me had been living there for the past couple years.

In my head I thought, no wonder I was never home in high school; I never made my room my home. This is my one big chance, my parents aren’t supposed to move for another 3 years and I can make the best of it before I have to move out for good. So, instead of sitting in front of the TV this summer, I am going to completely renovate my bedroom—by myself. 

Here’s the catch: I have less than $100 in my bank account, there isn’t an IKEA within 50 miles, and my parents are RENTING this house.

Luckily, I can paint the walls. 

Let’s do this.
