So this is one heck of a delayed post!
After finishing the semester at the end of 2015, I got thrown into the vortex of retail labour that is every Christmas season... which took up basically my entire November and December. Amidst all that chaos during finals and work, I also moved out of the share-house I was living in. The place seemed okay in the very beginning but I absolutely could not take it any more living there, especially with an insanely uptight and unreasonable landlord, a barely-usable kitchenette, crappy shower in the shared bathroom and of course the lack of noise I was able to make (i.e. blow drying my hair). Not to mention I was melting most the time because of no-aircon regulations in the stuffy heat-trapped attic-room.
I've now moved into a much better place with a mutual friend (I knew her well enough that I wouldn't mind living with her) in a very new apartment just two suburbs from the city centre with everything I could hope for!
Since it all calmed down as January hit, I was able to go back home to Brisbane for a good 10 days to spend time with some friends, family and of course my cutie patootie Labrador Gemma!
After I got back, I jumped straight into work again, but now that it's January, I'm not as crazy busy as I was the last few months. I just celebrated my 22nd birthday and now looking forward to some chill time in the next few weeks while my holidays last!
To kick off 2016, my first post is going to be another home-related post. Just a tour of where I am living and how it looks now from a room that was unfurnished.
 |
| Balcony |
 |
| Once you walk in - my room is before the switch on the left. |
 |
| From the dining/living - it's an apartment, meaning it's not super spacious or anything. |
 |
| Kitchen |
 |
| Dining - I decorated the place with some Christmas things! |
 |
| Living - mainly just the couch and TV. |
 |
| Le bathroom (I have my own bathroom - I will do a what's in my bathroom tour later on :) |
 |
The grand view after opening my bedroom door. I attached my own curtains and rod because I dislike blinds :(
I picked a black one because it matches the floor (almost black carpet) and also because it looks kind of industrial.
I am planning to get another set because I was terrible at estimating length at IKEA and I want to put fairy lights behind them! |
 |
| I usually keep the blinds closed because the sunlight coming in during the day makes the room very hot. |
 |
My double bed is the Hemnes one from IKEA, with same bedding as before.
I did have to buy my own mattress as well, but I'm not complaining because I sleep like a baby now! |
 |
| Industrial bookshelf from Kmart ($50), I avoided showing my table and dresser because.... THE MESS |
 |
I updated my wall with these three (I purchased them from Society6) once I got the right frames.
All three frames are from Kmart, the square ones were $4 each and the copper one was $10. |
 |
Same lamp as before. I also avoided taking photos of the shelves because... THE MESS
Once it's more organised like the way I want it to be I shall update! |
 |
Wardrobe is a typical slidey-mirror one that is split into two. The other half has shelves/drawers.
I avoided that other half because...THE MESS |
Once I tidy up everything meticulously I will probably do an update on my makeup/dresser, and my closet. I got a ton of new makeup items over Christmas and my birthday from my lovely friends, as well as more bathroom products!
Ciao! x
