Tip #5
We all have items that are not so pretty to display, right? and many of us don’t have enough space in their closets too? to solve this problem I used the structure of my room. for example. I Have this protruding wall that prevent pushing my bed all the way to the wall. So I used this space to store some of my workout equipments and accessories! and I AGREE IT’S KIND OF MY WARM UP TO BRING IT OUT OF THERE 😀

Finally Here is the before & after of The Ceiling lampshade.
My last Tip
Is to try to specify a spot for each task in your room/place! It make it less boring especially if you spend a lot of time in it. For me my desk is the place when I want to work on my website/blog or study. Obviously my bed is for sleeping and relaxing. My crochet corner is for crocheting and CHILLAXING. Finally I have an empty space in-front of my mirror at the center of the room where I do my pilates, Yoga and jumping rope workouts!
Oh my gosh!! You are so talented and creative!! It’s absolutely beautiful! Love, love, love it!! Thanks for sharing your tips and ideas with us.
Ahhhh you did such a great job!! I love the lampshade and all the pillows so much
