apocalypsos | Time to redecorate!

Or, you know, actually decorate.

I think my goal in regards to Christmas will be to talk to my mom and see if I can get her to coordinate any presents she might want to get me with my shiny new plans to make the extra bedroom something other than just an empty room I leave extra stuff in sometimes. If I organize it just so I might even be able to make it a nice cozy place to relax and read while guzzling hot chocolate by the time winter rolls around and it starts snowing.

Of course what that means is that I'm going to have to start hitting flea markets and deciding how the hell I actually want to decorate in there. The carpet is a disaster, so that's one problem I have to deal with, and when Halloween rolls around I'm definitely going to have to see about picking up the orange lights I get every year so that I can string them around the room. I'm also going to have to pick up some standing floor lamps, probably a couple like this -- the walls are dark wood paneling and there's only one small window in there, which means the light's atrocious.

And now that everybody's been flashing the link around, I really rather desperately want these gorgeous Firefly posters on the walls. And big comfy chairs, and lots of cuddly blankets and pillows, and a couple of bookshelves, too.

Seriously, the only room in this apartment that has enough stuff in it to feel lived-in is the office. I want a nice place to curl up with a good book and some soft music and relax. I mean, hell, it's my apartment. It shouldn't be that hard to toss together a little cave to hide out in with four whole months to work on it.

*rubs hands together in anticipation*

(It's possible I'm making plans to decorate because I'm still hopelessly blocked writing-wise. Erm. *cries*)
