Room update. Bed and mattress secured. Ended up going plan A because the bed comes with a headboard which either needs wall support or mounted to a wall (so couldn't place it against the mirror). Very less space between desk and bed and a bit of wasted space in the corner but I shall downsize the desk and get something smaller. Now to pimp
I usually have my background blurred / company background so should be fine but I do need help with decorating my room. So far all I've got is a couple of posters. Need more life. Maybe some plants?
Just updated option B. It is a one person layout! Also good points on sleeping facing the mirrors, hadn't thought of that. I might just leave one side of the mirrors open so as to see less of myself, but i reckon B (or the updated B now) is less noisy
edit (this was supposed to be my option B, i done goofed up)
Measurements (in cms, roughly):
Room is 290x290 (118 x 118 in)
Table is 160x80 (and a bit for the chair, used a rug in place of chair in the image) (62 x 31 in)
Bed is 228x141 (88 x 55 in)
I need some help w arranging furniture in my room. I believe my room is 290cm x 290cm (and a bit for the door entrance). Room has mirror BIRs on one side and windows on the other side.
Option A would mean very little room to walk but option B is pushing one side of the bed towards the wall. Note that the bed has drawers on both sides so that also means no access to drawers on one side (i can potentially live with that). Does option B make more sense for me? Also gives me a lot more room to play with.
Edit 3: gone with option B. This is the room without the bed (arriving tomorrow). Excuse my busy table. Might shift out the IKEA Alex drawer in the future.
I haven't but I imagine it isn't too dissimilar to podcasts. I often find myself zoning out with podcasts and I really need to focus and listen. idk why I keep zoning out though
I have a few books. Mostly non fictional. Something related to my work. So I'm currently reading "How the world really works - Vaclav Smil". I have a couple other books that I bought on a whim after listening to an inspiring talk by him.
Also a couple of fiction books that I want to read. One is Silo by Hugh Howey. Its an apple tv show and I loved the show so I bought the book!
You see where the problem is. I buy books but don't read them. 🤦♂️
I have always had bad attention span and as a result I could never get into reading. You put me in front of a tv, I'll watch it for hours but I really struggle to read books and I want to now make it a habit to read a bit everyday. What's a good target to set? How do I stick to it?
I've forgotten what it feels like to be offered help. Since moving to my new place (and breaking my hand), people have offered to make me food, move a bed etc etc which I never got at my previous places 😭 (3 years in Australia!!)
And I'm not generally good at accepting help because I don't want to burden others. For ex my housemates bf asked me to join him for badminton and I told him I sadly couldn't...and then he offered to help with anything! Jeez the bar is so low for me when it comes to people.
Fkn ell. Another injury. Saw my physio for my broken hand today and he feels it could be a grade 2 ligament tear (some ligament near my thumb) and sent me off for an x-ray. Why does this happen so often only when I start having some peace in life. Every time I pick up a physical activity I end up getting fucked 10 ways to Sunday.
Estimated recovery time is 4-6 weeks but it depends on the x-ray. If it's an avulsion fracture, well, that'll be 4-6 weeks more 🙂
i'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to alcohol so i often find myself standing at bars unsure what to say... when im with friends its usually something like vodka/gin w lemonade but i can't order that when im in an office gathering. what do you order at these 'socials'? prosecco?
Can someone help me with art? I want to add something to my room but unsure where to start..
