I was planning to move out my apartment when my lease is up (which is end of this July). But, I decided to stay my apt even though I had multiple water coming from the ceiling accident, or my upstairs guy kept playing shitty songs super loud incidents. I just do not have money to move to new place!! I thought about moving to suburb area, but realized that driving to school would cost fortune! At least, where I live right now, I can just take a bus to get to the campus. I think my apt isn’t bad at all, just I don’t like it! I actually took a time to think about why I don’t like my apt. First thing came to my mind was that I do not like my neighbors. The area I live in is called “uptown.” It’s supposed to be kinda fancy area in Minneapolis, but I do not like it at all. It’s nothing like Lincoln Park in Chicago. When I lived in Chicago, I loved my neighbor. It was just north edge of Lincoln Park, but I was able to enjoy both Lincoln Park and Lakeview stuff. Occasionally, I even walked back to my apt from Wrigleyville. I really missed living my tiny studio apt there… Well, anyway, since I decided to stay in my apt, I started thinking what I need to do in order to live in this fucked up apt without thinking “oh this apt is fucked up.” The answer is “décor.” I must say my apt is really a crap. I hate decorating the room because I don’t know how. Exception is kitchen area. Because I love cooking so much, I just cannot stand if the kitchen is dirty or if I see dirty dishes in the sink. I always maintain kitchen area clean and nice. I love having lots of vintage plates, and indeed, I have some!! (thanks to my ex-bf). I super care about anything relating to cooking. But, other than that, I really really don't give a shit about it! IKEA is good enough for me. But, but, I do know I so need to decorate my room. Believe or not, I used to subscribe Wallpaper magazine… And, I love reading Architectural Digest… And my one of favorite stores is Design Within Reach… I even shopped their website several times… So, why I don't’ decorate my room? Hmmm, I don’t know. I guess I just don't care much. I hate my room, I cannot relax much, and I am so sick of it, but I still don’t do anything about it! Not good! I like all home remodeling shows such as Trading Space, While You Are Out, Clean House, or Design on Dime, etc etc… But, it never really registered my mind I need to decorate my apt. Well, I kinda sorta tiny bit knew somewhere in my head I need to do something, I was so in denial.
I know, however, now. I know I need to work on my apt like I work on Zelda every day. I need to bring something on the walls. I need to get a coffee table that is not ugly. I need to clean up my bed room because bed room is not “whatever” room. I am on the mission. I will do it. I will make my apt super nice, and everyone wants to come over and do stuff. I will pick up Wallpaper magazine tomorrow, and I will go to DWR store because that store is really 3 blocks away from where I live!! I will do it!!
