rearranging small spaces

I’m contemplating a minor change in my dwelling…

Since I’ve been at my apartment for over a year and I’m used to moving into a new apartment every year, I may need a change of inside scenery. Though I love my cozy little upper east side apartment, there’s not much I can do with the furniture or decorations. It’s small – and surprisingly a coveted one bedroom(!) – so I don’t have many options left… hmmmmm…..

BUT! I barely have done anything with my bedroom. It’s tiny, but at least it’s a bedroom. No, it’s really tiny. Like, my dresser IS IN MY CLOSET. And it just fits my bed. Just enough so I can open my door all the way (I can never sleep with a closed door, I need an escape route in case the bogey man comes through the window) and that’s about it. Nothing on the walls, a curtain finally hung, and some necessities (alarm clock, lamp, etc…) on the protective heater thingy.

So I think a slight bedroom upheaval is in order, perhaps this weekend. No idea what I’ll do with it, but I’m sure I’ll get some inspiration during my jaunt throughout the city this weekend.

finally finished

I’ve been in my apartment for over a year and finally am “settled in”. My last apartment project was to hang curtains in my bedroom.  I face a brick wall, so it wasn’t a necessity, but now I finally feel unpacked and settled.

While talking to Morgan and straightening up…I noticed a flicker…

…and was surprised to see a lit candle. I don’t remember lighting it. I didn’t light it today….or yesterday…maybe Friday but as soon as I came back from dinner I crashed…I wasn’t up long enough at home on Thursday…Maybe Wednesday…?

Regardless, this is about the 47,439th time I have done this.

Here’s a photo of the red wax dripping down my wall which I’m sure will leave a mark when I decide to clean it:
