Feng Shui first try!!

How do I like my room?

I think I like my room just fine. I mean out of the rooms I’ve had, this is the one I’ve spent the longest time in the past years and also it has a lot of light and a lot of space. When I first move in I only changed two things: I bed was strangely in front of the door, so I changed one of the nigthstands to the other side and I bought a smaller but sturdier desk that I could move around for easy cleaning.

What do I do in the room? Sleep, work, relax?

I’ve always been an introvert guirly so my room is my castle. I sleep, work and relax here. But it is also true that out of the rooms I’ve had, this one is the hardest to keep things in order. Actually, my goal is to spend more time outside this room, hahaha.

What do I need from my room?

Through this course I learned that my room is also facing south east, just like the client, and even though I have curtains and also european shutters (the ones that leave the room in complete dark, search persiana) I don’t like to use the shutters but the sun does wake me up really early some times.

I also never understood why I felt so exposed sometimes when talking to my bf on the phone and people coming throw the main door, but it will make sense when you see the before picture. It did made sense to me once that I looked into it.

I do have a lot of space but it feels like I am using none of it wisely and my room keeps being a mess when everything has a home already, you know? (I am a Mari Kondo fan. Her method does work on me).

I do like to keep my clothes hanging into my room because I dislike laundry and I am horrible to share laundry space with, this way I don’t fight with anyone.

Lastly, since I came here it seems like I never sit down on my desk anymore and I am using my laptop not as much. That affects my creativity. I did buy this desk so I could learn how to draw or do some silly project on my laptop, but it feels like since I came here I haven’t done that all that much. Now I know why.

Do I go out? What do I do?

I am in the middle of changing careers. I am also changing the present me, grounding myself. I am trying to go out more. But I think in my case, my room does reflect my mind and I should also adress my physical intimate space at the same time I adress everything else. So I can make space for the good things that are about to come.

What are the expectations for the room? Budget? Do you want existing furniture or get new things?

The only thing I am buying right now is a shoe cupboard, which I’ve been wanting since probably a year ago. How my shoes are is not serving me but aside front that, this place is a rent and I don’t particularly want to spent my money in decor I would have to abandone if everything goes right.

What are your aspirations for the room?

I guess I want a more comfortable space. This place is already very special for me. I’ve grown so much since coming into this house and I have this sensation that I am safe and I can think of this as mine. And as mine I should be able to make it a little better.

I do have a printer and it would make things easier if I could keep them together but right now, I am even writing this from my dominat spot in my bed, hahaha. Since I have a little entry I want to use my curret shoe rack to keep my wet shoes and slippers, I already have a litte step that I use as a chair.

The cupboard will go in my storage, of course, and I'll modify my current laundry corner.

Very excited to see if I can feel better after this modifications.

Footnote: the program I used doesn't let me do screenshots, so bad photos it is.
