I mentioned in yesterdays post that i'd done a little bit of re-jigging in my flat.
I really love it all, it feels very me but the bit i'm loving most is definitely my bedroom.
You see I have a thing about the colour white, and before anyone says i know white is not really a colour. My entire place is painted white, i like it like that A: because it goes with everything B: because it makes my small flat feel airy and C: because i hate painting, this way if i fancy a change i can just change a few soft furnishings to get a completely different look.
My bedroom has always been a bit of an after thought on my home decorating crusade as well, its not really a room a parade of people get to see. So it was plain as could be, white walls, cream carpet, white bedding and dark wood furniture......boring.
But i can feel spring in the air! (though in Scotland at the moment spring seems to consist of rain and snow!)
And i wanted a fresh start, After all 'a change is as good as a holiday' and all that.
In my search for inspiration i was browsing the H&M website when i came across the cute Pink Flamingo Bedsheets and i instantly knew they were for me. The flamingos are quite the departure from plain white, but i find them fun and quite girly. They look exactly like something you might find in a Miami motel so i feel almost liek im on a nice summer holiday whenever i look at them.
The canvases on the wall are also new, well the canvases aren't, but the wording is. They may not look perfect but that's because i'm no artist.
If your wondering what they are all about it let me explain.
In the book Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy 42 is put forward as the answer to THE question of life universe and everything, no one is terribly sure what THE question is but hey ho! Its a bit of an odd idea but a long time ago i became a bit obsessed with it, i love the idea of the randomness of it and i think that is the answer to THE question: randomness.
Life-Random. Universe-Random. Everything -Random.
And that's why i wanted a constant reminder of that on my bedroom wall.
Offt I've gone all philosophical there....... but if you still with me, don't you think the flamingos are cute?
Does the change in seasons spur you on for a change?
Let me know in the comments,x
