Quotes that Speak Volumes

It is absolutely ridiculous how we can be so lost for words and someone else out there can speak exactly how you feel without you uttering a single word to them. Expressing how you feel has been important to human race add or is to breathe.  So much so that we can make a career out of it.  But there is nothing wrong with expressing how you feel.  Just be careful how you say or vocalize it. Tone and mood a lot too. (Trust me from experience). Of course, we want to spill of thoughts and ideas to someone other than ourselves.  Though be mindful saying too much can be overwhelming or annoying. Where the term TMI comes in handy for many. Some of us don't say anything at all because what we have said has been used against us. Or maybe we prefer to speak to very specific people. The thing is the best way to translate our emotions is to put it into words. And if you can't find the words, I promise there is a quote out there saying exactly how you feel.

Redesigning

Wanting your own space is crucial to any teenager, especially teenage girls. And now as a legal adult, I need my own space more than ever. So I have the glorious opportunity to redo, redesign and renovate my room into my very own studio apartment. Something I can comfortably live in and possibly rent when I leave Cayman. After watching several home makeover tv shows (thank you HGTV) I know exactly what I want and exactly how to go about it. This design allows me to maximize space, recycle, have a mixture of modern design and still have a beautiful open concept.

This is my plan for my room.

It took a lot of imagining to come up with this design because the current state of my room is full of unwanted items, with value, that my mother and myself want to sell. It's hard to see something with an open concept when you're standing in cluttered space. Which made drawing out this blueprint tricky but not impossible. Here's a peek into what I want to do to my space.

First, I'm going to rip out the closet in the corner of the room to open up space and then putting the shoe rack in its place. when that's complete I'm going to break up my tile flooring, raise it and add wood flooring with a white wash finish. Then I need to replace all my doors and windows. After that, I need to replace the overhead fans. Last but not least I need to repaint the entire room.

When I'm done with all the major project there's the fun part, redecorating. Which will be another blog for another day and time. Maybe after all this hard work is done.
