Room Renovation

I've been planning on a bedroom makeover for ages. It will be done this holidays. Here are some of my ideas:
  • Chandler

Its an antique chandelier with crystal and leaf patterns. $61 eBay. Still in box. Apparently, since my house is really old, it doesn't have a safety hook for the chandelier. That's what my uncle said, so now I need to find a pro. and ask him.
  • Ceiling

One of my favourite things about my room is the ceiling. I bought the chandelier cause I thought it'd suit it. I love the details on the ceiling, but the paint is peeling, and I don't know how to restore it without harming the patterns. I was thinking having painting a black border around the patterns to accentuate it.
  • Couch

My mum bought me an  armless dark blue couch. She got it for $20 at work. Apparently, it has a scratch on it, but I can't seem to find it. I think I also want this white couch too. Its a sofa bed $99 at iKea. Thought a sofa bed would come in handy. My cousin works at iKea, so hopefully I may get a discount? Cousin rates?
  •  Feature wall


I have 5 walls in my room (its like if you cut a small corner on a square). I'm thinking, black and white strips on that one small wall. Hanging this huge frame I have (see below) in the middle of it. Also thinking of buying a small side/coffee table to put in front with my couch.
  • Frames


I got the huge one at Freedom for $10 (marked down cause of a few tiny scratches) and the rest I got off eBay for $4! Originally I wanted to do a whole black frames wall, but black frames are so expensive and these wooden frames has a bit more character embedded in them, don't you think? There's some empty frames which will be filled after I come back with awesome photos. I think I'll need to buy more.
"You like your frames, don't you?"- Jessica
LOL! Jessica made this comment to me a while ago. She made me sound like a freak. I love photography, and everything to do with it. The sexiest thing a guy could wear is a SLR Camera around his neck. Oh, I'm a bit turned on thinking about it.

I'm in a bit of a dilemma, I can't decide whether or not to buy a SLR Camera or just a normal Digital Camera for Europe. I've gotten mixed opinions, my cousin Raymond told me not to go with the SLR, cause it'll be heavy for traveling, plus I'd be "targeted" by thieves. But honestly, with my Dad around, who would want to come near me? LOL!

So jealous much, Cynthia?
